Great thread!
When I was a freshman in high school I did a term paper on the history of the KKK. I'm still fascinated/appalled by how "nice" people in that era got involved in that organization in Indiana. Turns my stomach, honestly. There's a whole lot I love about Indiana, but looking...
A little preface - I never watched many "golden era" movies. My wife, 17 year old daughter and I came across the "Thin Man" marathon the other night and are pretty much hooked. We have watched the first three ("Another Thin Man" was what we watched last night). Really enjoyed the dialogue...
I'll stick my neck out and add probably the most ridiculous post ever, but I just came from a church "harvest dinner" and my wife brought a green bean casserole. I am still a big fan, I have to say.
I'm sure this isn't true, but it seems to me that we "always" had green bean casserole at...
Keep it up!!
Over the past 10 years I've done some 5K's, half-marathons in Indianapolis (loved it) and Cincinnati (hated it)! The difference - I live in flatland Indiana and I had to run hills in Cincinnati. That, and a driving rainstorm - the weather forecast the night before called for...
The horn rim thing is interesting to me. As a grade school kid in the early-mid 70's, I had to wear glasses and the only frames available for me (apparently) were horn rims. Um, "popular" doesn't seem to be a term I recall my classmates using. After many years of not wearing glasses, in the...
My wife is a 6th grade teacher - fortunately, no issues like the ones in the article... yikes!! On the other side - my 3 kids are reasonably functional, well-behaved teenagers (it's hard to type that without thinking it's an oxymoron) now.
But lwhen they were say, 7, 4 and 2 I made myself...
No offense to anyone, but I did the southern California thing for a couple years and couldn't wait to get back to Indiana. I did really miss the change of season. I moved back to Indiana 20 years ago and have never regretted it (with the possible exception of a couple -10 to -20 degree...
I can't help but think of a line from "Finding Nemo" where Nemo's dad says something to the effect of, "I promised I would never let anything bad happen to him!" And Dorrie replies, "What an odd thing to promise."
Seems to me that sometimes, we, as parents are so bent on the idea of not...
Except for a 4 year stint in Texas and southern California, I've lived near the same small rural Indiana town (population 900-plus) all my life. My wife was an "import" I met at college - she was from the mountains of New Mexico so the flatlands of Indiana were a real adjustment for her. We...
NYT... and cheese
Interesting NYT story. Who knows... Re: gov't cheese, I remember my grandparents getting cheese in the '80's, I think - but if I remember right it was more a "government supports dairy farmers by buying cheese" than a food stamp-type program. I seriously doubt that my...
Boy, this is definitely an "it's not funny, and yet it is" moment. I keep thinking of the line from the 90's "Sister Act" movie where all the nuns are in a Vegas nightclub - "Try to blend in."
I grew up hearing a lot of country/bluegrass music. Can't say I'm a big fan of all of it, but I do really like one song - part of the chorus is "... On a little red barn on a farm down Indiana way." When I think of my favorite parts of growing up and living in rural Indiana, that song comes to...
