    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    You should mash your sunny-side up eggs into your grits, then sop it up with your biscuit...like God intended.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I always separate my pancakes too (stacking them throws off the pancake/syrup ratio), but admit to eating them last. They *are* kind of a dessert to my eggs and grits.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I used to own a Binder!!!! Well a Scout, to be exact. Loved that vehicle. I want another, but they're getting very hard to find, and ridiculously expensive. "Binder" is still common in the IH enthusiast circle, but it's a small circle.

    Wearing vintage is considered costumes.

    Let's face it folks...the Chrismans are just gloss hounds looking for publicity and donations to prop up their "long-term experiment" and make a few bucks. If they were really interested in just quietly living a certain lifestyle, they wouldn't be hitting me up for a cash donation on their...

    Wearing vintage is considered costumes.

    Last time I was on a jury I wore my hat to the courthouse every day, but took it off inside, left it in the jury assembly room and didn't insist on wearing it in the jury box. Many here would rather be held in contempt than leave their priceless artwork out of sight. One more example of my FL...

    Wearing vintage is considered costumes.

    According to Webster, a "costume" is "an outfit worn to create the appearance characteristic of a particular period, person, place, or thing." So in the strict sense, wearing 19th century Victorian clothing in 2016 is, by definition, wearing a costume. Personally, if someone wants to live...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've occasionally bought a few things off if eBay, but really old things you can't get new anymore. Bought a few old tractor parts from individuals, and odds and ends here and there. It's good for that sort of thing. I wouldn't buy say a new blender there. I did buy one "new old stock" item: I...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    I got Global Entry a couple of years ago, and it's saved my sanity more than a few times. Yes, I had to get fingerprinted, but I'm not one of those who thinks the government is out to get me, so I didn't mind. Since then, US Customs has not taken more than 60 or 90 seconds, tops. Except the...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Yeah, if you're traveling back to the US, and have to go through both security and passport/customs before you leave, it can be a pain. But that's not the airport's fault. US Customs can be a headache no matter where you enter. I've only done the pre-customs things once, out of Toronto. It...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    I travel a lot internationally, and the biggest difference between US airports and most international airports is at the US airports, the security is at the terminal, and everyone goes through the same long line and you can't get past the ticket counter without a boarding pass. At most...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I never had one in my house growing up (never had a microwave or a dishwasher either), but I knew people who did, and no one ever put perishable things that stink in the compactor. Why would anyone think that's how compactors worked? That sort of reminds me of the arguments against an indoor...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    The antagonists in professional wrestling storylines are called "heels". The good guys are called "faces".

    Artwork Featuring Hats

    Similar in style, though Lynch isn't quite as risqué in subject matter. Lynch also has several "Nighthawks" inspired pieces.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When you get Olympic gold medal-winning sprinters clamoring about how great your smokes are, you're on to something.

    Artwork Featuring Hats

    I have this painting by Canadian artist/illustrator Brett Lynch hanging in my bedroom: He has several of this genre, including:

    Movie hats

    Also down in the Big Bend area there are similar looking mountains and mesas in the desert. But not around the oak woods of Ft. Parker.

    What happened to small towns?

    The problem isn't owning a home, it's trying to own more than you can afford. 99% of the people could in no way really afford a $500,000 house, let alone $1MM. But they over leverage themselves. They get 100-year loans and "interest only" loans, and still spend 30-40% of their take home pay on...

    What happened to small towns?

    I bought my house in '02 through one of those mortgage companies and a 3% FHA loan. The mortgage company told me ahead of time that they were going to sell it and at closing I paid the first payment to them, and that was it. The rest has been to Wells Fargo. I soon refinanced through WF to a...

    What happened to small towns?

    No doubt that happens. I have an elderly gentleman friend who complains incessantly about all the "fancy" equipment the fire department has. I guess he only wants to pay for an old fashioned bucket brigade. But a cavalier attitude is not the only thing going on. I suppose there's a bit of...

    The Decaying Evolution of Education...

    In my genealogical research, I found my great, great grandmother's Confederate Widow pension application from around 1915. It was interesting on several levels, from what she listed as "assets" (things like "1 mule worth $25, 1 wagon worth $100...I think she totaled around $600 in assets) to...
