    Loungers' Pets

    My last dog was a Golden Retriever. Got an economical replacement, a Westie. It also took a while for him to "grow on me". Terry is super intelligent and eats much less than my Retriever.

    Lily looks a bit like a sailor gal in that hat. She has the most beautiful eyes. Like two sparkling emeralds!

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Only five bucks Lee? Thats a what I call a "steal"! And it works to boot. This afternoon, I went to the Old Mystic Flea Market over on Route 27 and I-95. They have a good selection of collectibles, crafts, antiques, tools, and even some vintage clothing and hats. I was tempted to buy a few...

    I hate monkeys.

    The last scene from Planet of the Apes (1968) aka Monkey Planet always creeps me out!! Heston's famous line at the end of the film, "Damn you! ******** you all to hell!".

    Light weight felt hats

    Mechanically inclined?

    Hey Bob, Knew you would be posting on this thread. You rebuilt that lathe like a pro. Like you bro, I'm mechanically inclined. Give me some cement, wood, hardware, paint and some power tools and I'm right at home. Though I wish I was "electrically inclined". I would like to get my 50's...

    What do you look like?

    Scorpion, you don't have to "take" that remark. Mr. Kotter did not have a beard. He had a stache and all those annoying lame "over-aged" high school delinquents....Vinny Barbarino, Freddy Boom Boom Washington, Arnold Horshak, and Juan Epstein!!....."Up your nose with a rubber hose"...

    The City Verus The Burbs

    I grew up in the somewhat suburban region of NE NYC, Bayside. So I actually had the best of two worlds. I had all the beauty and serenity of our quaint town and could get to Mid-Town Manhattan in less than 45 minutes via mass transit. Now I live in SE CT and could never fatham living...
