    Out Your Back Door

    They are pretty smart and quick learners. We have one that has been hanging around at work off and on. He will go in a building and find a spot to catch a nap. If you walk in he doesn't try to get away, he hides his face even though he is in plain sight. I guess since he can't see you, you...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    ^^^ My wife jokingly says she can't take me anywhere where there are children because I end up playing with them. Many times the fussy troublesome ones are starved for anybody to pay attention to them. Making goofy faces or playing peekaboo back and forth from a few tables or seats away with the...

    Old gas stations

    My wife and I drove by a batwing Phillips station a month or so ago. Somebody was using it to sell old farm equipment out of. It wasn't perfect, but at least it wasn't abandoned or torn down.

    You know you are getting old when:

    My youngest son went through a comic book phase for a couple of years. It was always an interesting crowd in our local shop. Kids, businessmen and professionals of all types, goths, gamers, etc., you name it they were all represented. I was always taken aback by the numbers of customers who...

    Clean Jokes

    Having dealt with too many of these people over the years when "do you know who I am?" pops out of their mouth I'm done listening. Arrogance is my greatest pet peeve.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Too many of the epay and Etsy crowd doesn't care much about destroying old magazines or anything else for that matter. As long as people will fork over 10 bucks or more for a whiskey ad, they will chop up anything that will sell. When they run out of material or the market fades, they will move...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I can still occasionally pick up a stack of Life, Colliers, etc. from the '40s to mid '50s for a couple dollars from our local auction house. There isn't huge interest in them here.They do a lot of estate sales there and I think Fading Fast is right, time moves on and many of the estate sales...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    The hat never really got my attention, but Goofy's old truck had all of the patches on the outside of the bald tires he drove around on. Even my small self thought that was ridiculous. Didn't anybody know how to patch a tire properly?:D

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Dorothy is one of America's forgotten treasures. Very strange circumstances with her early departure as well. Given what she had been working on and the people involved, I have my doubts about her claimed cause of death.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I tend towards being an introvert, but have forced myself out of it with varying levels of success. I do enjoy visiting with people very much though. We recently met the future mother in law of one of my stepsons and I was totally exhausted after an hour in a restaurant with her. I'm not sure I...

    Careful now. Zombie looks like pretty much everybody around here. :rolleyes:

    Today in History

    It still does, but only uses them to bite those it is supposed to be protecting.

    Do women hate men's hats?

    My grandson, who is not quite two,has a straw fedora that fits him perfectly. When I set it on my head he and his older sister both giggle like hyenas. Apparently some gags are truly timeless.

    Boxer briefs. Traditional white or modern colored?

    Cooking Golden Era recipes

    Dr. Hertzler was a Kansas MD who was considered a brilliant doc and teacher and obviously he was a pretty witty philosopher as well. He was a man of the era, passing away in 1946. Livers and gizzards are still popular. I love chicken livers, but I never could abide gizzards. I'd rather chew on...

    Cooking Golden Era recipes

    My family's diet was somewhat unconventional when I was a kid. A lot of wild game and things that were not common. I've always liked liver. As long as the donor steer wasn't a heavy drinker, you're good to go. It is excellent with breaded tomatoes and/or creamed peas. I also eat a fair amount of...

    Indeed. I like to think all of these years later that I learned better judgement from the experience.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Probably because of stolen cards. I don't pay at the pump here mostly because I tend to pay cash and we have ongoing issues with people putting card skimmers in gas pumps. The stations also can put a hold on your card for more than the amount of your purchase. It just grinds my gears, so I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Don't even get me started on the NRA. I was a member for many years but their fundraising schemes and constant dogging for more along with their continuous pearl clutching and condescending attitude caused me to sever that relationship years ago. I spent a fair number of years as a YMCA...
