    You will feel a slight pressure. Never knew before that my doctor was such a liar. :eek:

    Where's all this intolerance coming from??

    In both cases I would vote no. Being ejected isn't enough for some people. If you choose to be an insufferable ass in public, correction with an axe handle would go far toward improving behavior. If that means that I am intolerant so be it. I said above that my beliefs were a grab bag, and they...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    The fishing pole of my childhood. Many hours spent sitting on the creek bank catching little bullheads and bluegill.

    Where's all this intolerance coming from??

    The idea that we can no longer disagree on any subject and still be civil to each other is the driving force behind the breakdown of society. This attitude crosses all political, religious and social beliefs. My personal beliefs are a grab bag from a broad spectrum, as I believe the majority of...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a song during the war that had rock in the title. I just can't remember the whole title right now.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My wife and I have been watching Outlander on Netflix. I just mentioned to her a couple of nights ago that the lead female character must be contractually obligated to show us her nipples at least twice per episode. Now I must admit that a certain amount of this is not appalling to me, however...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    There are a couple of people in my life that I have the type of friendship with that would allow for flinging of barbs, but we rarely do it beyond a single smart alec response to a comment. The thing is the people who actually do this aren't anywhere on that short list of friends.

    Same here. I on occasion think I'd like to have one again but like a gas bubble, if I wait a few minutes the thing resolves itself.

    I'd fix that up and live in it.

    Clean Jokes

    When Superman came out in the theater our local place apparently had a shortage of available Rs. The marquee read SUPERMAN Malon Bando Forty years later that's still the name that enters my mind when I see him in something.

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    We have 2 lovely old ash trees that will be coming down before long. The emerald ash borer has gotten them both.

    Vintage neon signs

    Not a lot of neon, but it appears to be complete and operational. The Elgin clock does show the proper time. The jewelry store is still in business. Taken this afternoon in Fort Madison, Iowa.

    That store alone would make the trip worthwhile.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When the bluetooth things were brand new I was in a store aisle when a woman about 10 feet away suddenly yelled "WTF do you think you're doing"? I was a bit shocked to say the least and said "excuse me"? I can still see her venomous expression when she turned to me and said "I'm on the phone!"...

    Hard to beat an egg sammich. I keep a couple of local hens busy providing them for my breakfast nearly every morning.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I hear that and similar phrases from sales people routinely. We struggle far too often to get people to take our money. Even if I give them the part numbers and ask them to ship it ASAP, too many just simply don't follow through and place the order. We are talking about thousands of dollars in...

    Vintage roadside

    My wife has a little diary that her great aunt kept on their first trip to Florida in the mid '30s. One of the things she mentioned was that they ate really well for a quarter a meal, but Harry wanted to splurge a couple of times and he'd spent 40 cents. :eek:

    Old gas stations

    These two stations were both in the country outside my hometown. Both also had cafes and the bottom one had cabins behind. I remember both, but the cabins were no longer open by my time. The lower one's owner also had the reputation of being the guy who knew where to find anything you were...
