My great aunt in Missouri had one of those old washers ... I remember doing the wash with her when I was a kid.

Arizona is very scenic.

speaking of old appliances, I wish I had a working mangle iron...

It certainly is. If I had lived there I would have probably gone into geology instead of history...

"Heh....I guess that sounded a bit more sinister than I intended.

I fled the Great Californian Exodus, didn't much like the flavor some of our Leftist imports were bringing. Napolitano and Goddard ain't my cup o' tea.

That, and a new gig in Tejas made the decision pretty easy..."

Hehe! Most of the Californian Exodus ended up in Las Vegas, especially after the Northridge Quake (the epicenter of which was across the street from an apartment complex I had lived in nine months earlier) and before that, they had moved en masse from NY, NJ and CT.

I had a hard time accepting those emigre's because they were so demanding, rude and ruthless. It is better that I not be around people like that, lest my alligator mouth overload my hummingbird brain...

Overdosing on Arizona scenery is called AR-scenic poisoning.

I grew up in New Orleans...cliffs, rockfaces, mountains, highlands were all a wonderful novelty to me...

Hey, YOU!

How are you?

I'm always happy when you show up!

#64282 - good times are coming to an end, even though we will carry on in another thread - this one is still unique

I used to have a cast-iron steam-flatiron. I used to iron when I was camping.

Wouldn't that be overdosing on Arkansas scenery???

A dirty job, no doubt, but SOMEone had to do it! (Who better than the person who laughed???)

Funny, Bob!

I love geology ... I took a couple of courses in college. I understand it's very math-y though, after the first few classes.

I need to get a sad iron like that...I reenact and have been collecting all this old household stuff like my 4X great grandma might have used...

Must you always pounce on me every time I show up? And stop pinching my cheeks like that, it's embarrassing... ;-)

Doing alright, I guess. Fending off multiple troll accusations over at the thread I started earlier. Kind of enlightening, really - I considered leaving FR, though, only for a brief moment - too much good stuff.

The most humorous part was when stands2reason pinged the RKBA in thinking it was a troll and I was pinged with the rest of the list. Ahhhh...

Y'all can have the quasi-opus thread as UT2, though, if you'd like - I'd be quite honored.

How are you doing? Your packing going alright?

Yes, there's no telling what the thread will be like. Maybe a whole different group of people will show up!

My sentiments exactly, m'lady. So, packed up and left my native land and joined the Republic of Texas. Have not regretted it for a second!

I took geology for my science in college...at the freshman level, the labs were very clean...maps and rocks!
