    Thoughs on tile floor

    I don't know how bad your floor is, but there are flowable epoxy products available to correct that problem. Might be worth looking in to to get a level surface.

    Vintage neon signs

    The strongest scent and sound memory I have from childhood is my grandfather lighting the Prince Albert in his pipe with his Zippo lighter. It is rare these days and I'm not advocating a mass return to smoking, but when I hear that sound and smell burning lighter fluid I always smile. Bic...

    I'll give you a pass on the diet Coke since you otherwise seem to be a decent and sensible fellow. :p

    Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

    It's amazing sometimes how things are sometimes made so clear in our minds by small events like a teacher's reaction. "So simple an 8 year old can understand it." Sometimes the obvious is too obvious I suppose.

    Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

    This brought back something that I hadn't thought of in years. There was a woman in the next town from where I grew up who was on that show. She was still attempting to dine out on that tiny flicker of fame in the 1970's. Another local couple got married on the radio but I am no longer sure of...

    Ice milk. A blast from the past. Now they lie and call it light ice cream.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    So is a reversal in your future? :p It's a joke! And rhetorical!

    Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

    The few minutes that I have suffered through "reality" television tells me there's a lot of that attitude around. Mental illness used to be something that we attempted to treat, now we seem to celebrate or embrace it as often as we seek a cure. The oxygen theives themselves are only still...

    Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

    I mentioned jumping with a local group one time as something that I was considering. My father was a USAF veteran whose response to that announcement was that he "saw no benefit in leaving a perfectly good aircraft for no reason."

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    Nice. Have you ever had anything soda blasted? I have not but I've seen the results. Much preferable than sand on metal. Strips the nasty without pitting the material.

    This is my position with Post cereals. I know I've carped about this before, but when they discontinued Post Toasties I was done. I wouldn't buy anything from them if it contained the secret of eternal youth. How many flavors of Honey Bunches of Oats can the market actually support? Pencilnecked...

    Western Auto was a staple in my grandparents lives. Appliances, housewares, farm supplies, tools, auto parts whatever. Other than groceries, if you needed it, Western Auto probably had it.

    You know you are getting old when:

    This simple thing is the foundation of a pleasant day to day world for all of us and it doesn't take a huge effort to accomplish.

    Changes in Attitude in Marriage & Divorce from the Golden Era to Now.

    True. But in reality the previous generation that did everything "right" wasn't particularly successful either.

    Slim Olson's is still in business. Run by his grandchildren.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Tap and go, Apple pay, google wallet etc. is great for those who can handle it. For some though, it is simply a way to get financialy irresponsible people in trouble. We have already seen it with cards and borrowing, this is the next way to separate people from more of their money. Already...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Glass bottles should still be the majority of the market for both beer and soda. The dubious claim that plastic is cheaper is offset by the poorer taste of the finished product and the amount of waste involved to landfill or just fling out the car window. When the entire process is considered...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Been a long time since I've heard that. We also used to match quarters. If you both flipped a quarter and you matched the challenger, he had to buy. If you didn't match, you bought.
