    A Return to American Craftmanship

    I believe John in Covina and I have been in the same circles... People just won't pay for quality and service. A former employer of mine won contracts away from other companies that had zero defects... rather than stick with the high quality the auto maker was getting from the other...

    Freddy Fender Dies

    I remember when "Wasted Days..." was a hit on the radio. It was one of my Mom's favorites. If I remember right, he had been recently released from prison?

    Famous ancestors?

    Alleged to be related to Chief Powhatan and Pocahontas on Mom's side. It's hard to prove that of course...

    A&W's

    A&W's and Sonic Drive-In When we were kids, a big treat was to all pile in Mama's old Mercury and go down to the A&W. The car-hop would bring out the tray, those frosty mugs filled with really, really cold A&W root beer. Always a tense moment when she hooked the tray on to the car window...

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    Right you are, lincsong... I just googled it-- 1991-1993... Time is flying... I thought it was on longer ago than that.

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    Anybody remember Homefront??? I thought it started out to be a good series... short-lived, it got a little far-fetched at the end. It was about life in the US right after WW2. When was it on? Maybe the late 70's or early 80's?

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    No order, this is an eclectic group. I tried to think of shows that I will stop for now, when channel-surfing: Andy Griffith Show Seinfeld Beverly Hillbillies Moonlighting Sealab 2020, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Aqua Teen Hunger Force-- the Adult Swim Trilogy of cartoons Hawaii...

    What Are You Reading

    I had a six-month stretch in which I had a weekly commute of about 3 1/2 hours... I found audio books to be great... I listened to the Da Vinci Code, Fly Boys, and a few others. I read Me Talk Pretty One Day the old-fashioned way, though... not rated G, but some really funny stuff. I like...

    Manners & Etiquette

    Good post on the etiquette. I tip my hat to an older lady, though I find that the younger women are not aware of the rules of etiquette, and so think I am being funny. Funerals: If you're outside and a procession passes by, the hat is removed. If I am driving, I pull to the side of the...

    A Good Question

    Absolutely Agree, Jess Fellows and ladies, I don't suggest the ways of men and women are appropriate, just that they are. Certainly, there is immaturity in both sexes, in particular, and the under-20 set that is reading this is probably experiencing that. Beyond that, call it a game if...

    A Good Question

    Precisely My Point The lady was trying to avoid a blunt let-down in person... After a couple of calls not-returned, she's obviously not interested. Don't make the lady scream it at you...

    How did you find the lounge?

    I believe it was in Parade or USA Weekend, one of those that they put in the Sunday paper, last year maybe? Just a nice story about online "communities". I do not have a copy, sorry.

    A Good Question

    I am pretty bad at analogies, but I think it's the best way to communicate this, Arrow. It's like a joke: If I have to draw you a road map so that you get it, it ain't funny. But, if you understand the context, you immediately get the punch line and see the humor in it. A whole lot of...

    What do you use to shave?

    One more note on shaving After you apply the soap, let it soak a minute or two before shaving. It gives the hair a little time to soften up. Shoeshine, thanks for the tip, I just checked out Ashford, looks like a great site.

    Signs of The Times - Astrology Thread

    Leo! August 22. Which means I was born under the cusp! Whatever that means, other than it's close to the beginning days for the Virgo sign. Off the subject-- great avatar, Girl Friday!

    Last of the Mohicans I read an article about FL in the newspaper.

    A Good Question

    Freddy G gives advice to the love-lorn I agree, Scott... If a guy wants to be successful with the ladies, he can't look for gals who do not play head games-- he needs to learn to play the game. The fairer sex has an obligation to keep the males of the species guessing. That's part of...

    Cheesecake!

    My thoughts exactly, Tony! Afraid we were being "treated" to a peep show.. I like my cheesecake with blueberries on top, by the way... For some reason I can't seem to upload the pic
