Once she learned it, she never stopped using it. I'll have to ask which version she learned. My mother is a wonderful woman. Starting December 30, 1955, when my older brother was born, she began raising her seven kids. She then cared for my father during his long illness (which started before I...- MrNewportCustom

Thoughts on ....."My Space".
It took the yearbook picture for me to recognize her, but I got Jason Alexander, William Shatner and Patrick Warburton right off the bat. I recognize "mom," too, but can't think of her name. :D Fun song and video. :) Lee- MrNewportCustom

I drive it a couple times a week and to car shows. It currently has 79,000 miles on it. It has the green interior...- MrNewportCustom

How don't you go broke & up to your eyeballs in debt?!
I do this, but I drop my change in the pitcher every night, and singles into a jar. What you see here is about six months worth of end-of-the-day money tossing, resulting in an estimated total of $350.00 to $400.00 between the two. There's almost $100.00 of rolled coins under the loose, and...- MrNewportCustom

How don't you go broke & up to your eyeballs in debt?!
Exactly! I got my first credit card at 21. I finally got out of debt ($21,000) two years ago, at the age of 42. Half my life in crushing debt! Buy when you have money, wait when you don't. But always, always pay your bills first. After reading scotrace's post, I noticed something in my...- MrNewportCustom

Actually, yes, this meter has been not only in it's case (pictured behind it), but tucked away in a drawer, as well. For the pictures I'll be taking at John's next Saturday, I picked up two rolls of 400ASA T-MAX TMY 120. EDIT: It's a clear, sunny day here in So Cal, and I just now (11:45 PST)...- MrNewportCustom
