    Let's See Your Electric Trains!

    Wow Great thread, great models. My eldest Uncle had a beautiful set of Lionel, probably early 1940's, youngest Uncle had a great HO layout - with slotcars! I don't havethe time or money for a layout so I'm patiently collecting O Gauge and G Gauge for later years. I'm old enough to remember...

    Local PA Brew Yuengling (ying-ling), from America's oldest brewery right outside Scranton, PA. Tastes best after a 10+ mile run on a summer day - like this afternoon!

    My 1937 house - and why they want it down

    Progress??? This seems to be happening more and more - all in the name of progress. We always have chioces in life and you can chose to complain about the drive or you can enjoy it. The destination will be there so why not relax a bit? Put in a CD (music or book), or chat with your family...

    Best doggie names ever

    We're just boring Our three rescue greys are Jetta, Rolly and Omega. Of course they answer to chowderhead and goofy as well. Way back in the late 70's at Ft Ord, CA had a stray show up when I was sick as a dag (hmmm...). He howled all day and I was tired of telling him to please go away...

    How do you take your coffee?

    Just black, thank you Way back in the 1960's (66 - 68) we lived in rural Pennsylvania and my father worked in NYC. His commute was about 2 - 2 1/2 hours each way so he was up about 4:30 AM (0430). He kept his suits in my closet so that he would not wake up Mom. I was usually awake before he...

    For those who were born before 1990

    Looks like Count Basie is the winner. We saw, and danced to him in 1978 on our honeymoon. Unless the Manhatten Transfer counts, that's all for me.

    Funeral wear

    I wear a dark suit, white shirt and tie; my ife wears a dark dress, our boys don't own suits but they wear dark dress slacks, button shirt and shoes. I believe funerals and wakes are for the living so I don't care what is done after I'm gone. I want any usuable organs harvested and my body...

    The American Abroad - How to polish up the image?

    It's a shame you can't legislate stupidity. I live in a tourist area and see rude people all the time. Seems they believe they can berate locals because they are gracing us with their disposable income. When they harrass a local deli clerk, store employee, witress, etc. I usually do two...
