    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We watched Sneaky Pete for a while but we quit. We liked it and need to go back to it now that we've reached the end of wife's last episode of The Good Witch.

    FS: 15+ Individual 1930's-50's Neckties!

    Very nice. Auburn, Illinois is a fairly small city south of Springfield. Looking at their online history there was a Hutton drygoods store there. This may be a later generation?

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    Not really a movie star or anything, but I picked up a national news correspondent along the highway on a below zero night when his car broke down. I called a local guy to tow the car in and he ended up at my house talking at my kitchen table until somebody was able to come to pick him up...

    If you could afford that motor home you could afford to keep a pilot on your staff. :p

    Vintage things that have REAPPEARED in your lifetime?

    Now you have a ridiculously expensive multi switch stalk to replace that is a major undertaking to remove when it fails. My son and I took his apart and cleaned the terminals and repacked it with grease. It was cheap enough if you didn't count our time, but I doubt 1 in 1,000 are repaired. I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It sounds like the end is near for this train wreck. From stock trading in the thousands per share to 80 cents on Friday. Whatever sheep were bankrolling it apparently have run out of fleece.

    Vintage Cars

    ^^^ GHT can probably give you an answer, but my guess would be mid/late 50's Jaguar.

    Vintage neon signs

    The Pontiac dealer in my little home town had one of those signs up long after most had been replaced. He and the building he was in are both gone now.

    Vintage neon signs

    We had no air conditioning at home so a movie in the evening in summer was 2 treats in one. Even if the movie wasn't partiarticularly good, just being there where it was cool and dry was worth it. Running the water in a continuous stream over the platen until the layers build to the desired...

    That gives new meaning to all purpose grease.

    Vintage things that have REAPPEARED in your lifetime?

    Your young fellows may be ahead of the curve. While I am not a fan of high waters, the style among the younger set here still appears to be walking on them until they fray off. Bonus points for embroidery on the back pockets. Also professionally torn and worn with holes on the day of purchase. I...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Unlike. I would say divestment was always the plan though, it was just easier to get the deal done talking about nothing changing and saving the jobs. Now they have the asset, they will do whatever makes the most money the fastest, which is of course their right and happens every day. It just...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Look for Corner Gas on YouTube. There were at least some episodes on there. I used to watch it on PBS. I laughed a lot, wife rolled her eyes a lot. :p

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I have never heard of Dietland and while I have heard of Sex & the City, I have never watched it. Doesn't sound like I've missed anything.

    It's not just women, though most men would never admit it. "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Henry David Thoreau

    Old gas stations

    A local banking establishment paid an obscene amount of money to an ad agency years ago to come up with a new advertising slogan. What they came up with for the Union National Bank was....... "The bank that begins with U." This was long before texting and other things that made such single...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    We live on the corner of our little village. Last house in town. Dead end street just past our house. Farm fields and a small woods on two sides, so there has always been plenty of larger wildlife around. Recently found one of our neighbors is feeding anybody who wants to come up. It's nice to...

    That's what I thought as well.
