    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Aerodrome! Doesn't it sound so much nicer to say, I had to wait in the security line for two hours at the Aerodrome?

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Doctor Who The Power Of The Deleks. I finally saw all the episodes. It makes more seance now that I understand why these animated episodes were made! I never saw the episodes with Patrick Troughton, my first was number four Tom Baker, didn't care for him, so only watched a couple of episodes. I...

    Lizzie, remember, as your adds suggest, nothing says Marry Christmas like, emphysema, diabetes and liver failure! ;)

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    What's the old Charlie Sheen line from Two & A Half Men: "it's always Hitler week on The History Chanel!"

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When you do a good deed, and some jerk takes advantage of you! I was in the right turn lane, there is a Kum & Go there, so I held up short so people could get in. Finally, the big rig in front of me moved, so I went to move forward, when a lady to the left and slightly behind me accelerated and...

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    I do have a glimmer of hope for this show! What I mean by that is, maybe some real researchers will look into all these different structures, so maybe, we will know why the really were built!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I found that out on one of my Mothers bank accounts after she passed away. I wasn't paying much attention to it, since it only had a small amount of money in it, she was only keeping it open in case interest rates shot back up. They had never charged before! Long story short, by the time I...

    You know you are getting old when:

    The last men were inducted on June 30, 1973. You are right, they got their notices during 1972, and I believe all of them were in their twenties. Well most of them did, Archie Turner, often called the last man, didn't even know his number was up, until a couple of MPs came to his job sight...

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    I did watch another episode! My problem is, they find an abandoned military complex in Argentina, then go straight to Hitler starting the Fourth Rich there. Yes there were ex NAZI's in Argentina, and I am sure Juan Peron knew, and used them, just like we had our NAZI's. But there is zero...

    It's fun, like repeatedly hitting your head against a brick wall! All the deeds before 1900 were lost in a fire. I then got real excited when I found out there was a 1890 census, but you guessed it, when I went to look at it, the web sight said, lost in a warehouse fire. Can I get any more unlucky?

    You know you are getting old when:

    I always thought it should have been from 1946-1955. Why, the draft, 1955 was the year that men would have to face the draft when they turned 18 in 1973! Technically 1975 was the last year, but mid 1973 was the year of the last lucky lottery winner!

    The key word is "Never"! I admit, I had to look her up. She is my favorite kind of actor, you don't recognize her name, but as soon as you see her face, especially her later comedy roles, you get a great big smile and a lot of good memories come flooding back!

    Show us your vintage home!

    A lot of builders in our area are building Craftsmen style homes. While they are modern looking on the inside, they are still a million times better looking on the outside then the post WWII tract cookie cutter homes and the McMansion's sprawling like a cancer on the landscape!

    That is The $64,000 Question? The city says 1899, the first mention of it in the city directory is, 1902. The previous owner insisted it was built in 1888. But on her loan application, the lenders had 1890, which is the date that the owner before her had on his sales flyer which I have. I found...

    People Of Earth. The season finally! That's one thing I hate about made for cable shows, short and sweet.
