Being a kid of the 50s the magical name Brigitte Bardot alone held whatever you wished to imagine. Bardot equalled sexy women et al for pre-pubescent lads such as I. We didn't really know what "sexy" was but future puberty gave us a mild back-to-the-future testosterone charge that told us...
I envy all who have the ability to lose weight as I used to. But since they gave me steroidal hormone shots to hold my cancer in check 3 years ago it affected me by packing on solid muscular upper body and leg weight. It produced belly fat too but that's not where the weight is. I have...
Yesterday wasn't so good. Now after killing my cancer for the 2nd time in 3 years I'm again having secondary effects on my "plumbing." Let's leave it at that cause the details are a bit gross. So I'll be in for another little semi-surgical jaunt and associated recovery.
But today, while I...
I grew up in the Fabulous 50s and went to high school in the 60s. It was a time when the auto industry was innovating and going in new directions producing a legion of cars that were sought after. There was no danged foreign crap besides an occassional VW.
The country was naive and more...
I'm kinda with Sen. Jack on this. If I see a "new" topic then realize one person only has commented on something that died 18 months ago I move on. That particular incarnation of the thought or topic is over as far as I'm concerned.
If someone begins a quite similar topic 18 months hence...
The "lights on" came from the top. While it may FDR had nothing to fear but fear itself, U-Boats posed a tangible threat and took advantage of the back lit scenarios to shilouette many a freighter for sinking.
Also as the anti-sub equipment improved there are, as consequence, quite a few...
Ah yes the old pistola check and re-check...than no one does except in movies and TV! I know the condition of every one of my arms- safety on, one in chamber of this one, clip full but needs to be chambered for firing on another, etc. A law enforcement pro always knows the status of his weapon...
Mr Hermann- there is a woman in my wife's office who didi not know who Hitler was.:eek:
Joe Foss would give guys like me interviewing him and asking endless questions all the time in the world as if he was at your command. And when the topic of his time at the NRA came up he bristled with...
Life insurance. How people misunderstand it. You're betting the company you are going to die before they'll receive enough premiums to break even and they're betting you won't. That alone is bizarre.
And how many times have I heard people talking about life insurance like, "I'll get...
My Mom lived in her own little place behind my daughter's house 3 doors away till the end. She had no interest in doing anything however. My wife sought out all sorts of things for seniors and she didn't want to do anything. Often I'd come over and she'd be just sitting doing nothing. No TV...
Hey, I'm not starting a completely new thread for this but since it's gun related you ought to get it.
I have been noticing that on a regular basis on TV when someone is pointing a Glock at another person then the situation de-escalates and the pointer relaxes his aim that the damned stupid...
That's cool. Hang onto that! I met him on several occassions and was impressed with his commanding presence. And when he'd walk into a room in his formal dress uniform with the MOH around his neck he was godly.
