    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Growing up in Florida we had a kumquat tree. I never cared for them but my dad loves them. We had orange trees too. Nothing like fresh oranges.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Not really postdated checks, but there was a time when my regular routine was...let's see, if I write a check after 5 pm, they can't deposit until the next day, won't clear until the day after that, I get paid on Friday, I can take an early lunch to go to the bank to deposit my paycheck before...

    I wrote a check this morning sending in my vehicle registration. I noticed in my checkbook that the last check I wrote was for my vehicle registration last December.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    More than once when ordering a BLT, I've been asked "do you want lettuce and tomato on that?".

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It's pretty much exactly how you likely picture it. It's like really thin guacamole. With chocolate syrup. The taste wasn't half bad. It was really rich though, as you might imagine.

    Just an FYI, but the whole of North America is in the northern hemisphere.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Depends on where you live. There certainly is in Santa Fe, New Mexico (when you're eating guacamole and sipping margaritas) and most of the Southern US. Sunscreen ain't just for summer. Autumn and winter are some of the best times to catch some rays because it's not as hot.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Prior to 1939, Thanksgiving was always the last Thursday in November. Most of the time that was the fourth Thursday, but not always. 1939 was a year that had five Thursdays in November, and Roosevelt declared that the penultimate Thursday would be Thanksgiving Day, one of the reasons being it...

    Miss Martin in the 3rd grade. My first crush. She'd be in her 60s now, but I bet she's still a doll. And then there was my 7th grade English teacher who moonlighted as an NFL cheerleader. Because...well, I was 13.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I had an avocado milkshake in Indonesia a few weeks ago. It was actually pretty good. Of course, it also had chocolate syrup in it. The best guacamole I've ever had (and I've had it all over the world!) is at the rooftop cantina at the Coyote Café in Santa Fe. I could sit in the sunshine and...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    From Knight-Mare Hare (1955) Bugs Bunny: "Whosoever art thou, in thy cast-iron (pronounced "eye-run") tuxedo?" Knight: "I knave, am Sir O of K, Earl of Watercress, Sir Osis of the Liver, Knight of the Garter, and Baron of Wooster-cester-shister-shyster-schuster-shuster-shister-shire...

    What's for Dinner?

    It's finally fall-like weather here...so I made chili today. I was lazy and cheated and used tomatoes and chili powder, but it'll be good anyway.

    Redhead Barbies are worth more than brunettes. And as any man will tell about real life...there's something about those redheads. Wowza.

    You know you are getting old when:

    At age 49, and I've never had a cavity. My teeth are the one part of me that doesn't seem to be getting worse. So...never had a filling, never seen snow. That's an odd combination.

    You know you are getting old when:

    I remember thinking the same way. If you were old, you were just old. I remember thinking I'd neve reach 30...that was just too far away to comprehend. Now, 32 years ago I was in college.

    Barbie Collectors

    Early Barbies can be worth a lot of money, depending on the condition. And original 1959 #1 generally starts at around $3,000, and one sold a couple of years ago for over $27,000. That '62 Austin Healey was Barbie's first car. As a general guideline, brunettes are worth more than blondes...

    My wife is. Consequently I know way more about Barbie than I ever wanted to. We have a "Barbie room"'in the house.

    I remember those built in phone nooks. My grandmother had a whole little open room off the hallway, that looked something like this (with the phone *inside* the room):

    The Fall of the Moustache

    If you've never seen Reno 911 you should give it a look. Some of it is just plain rolling on the floor hysterical.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    We had a wall phone, as did most people I knew, but ours was in the kitchen and had a LONG cord, so you could go sit down or even answer the front door and still be holding the receiver. But all of the older people I knew...grandparents, uncles/aunts, etc...had single phone that was typically...
