Pulling out of the drive up at the coffee shop the girl utters, "Have a good one".
men who use those plastic sticks on the grocery check out lanes to separate their cans of beets from the next person's bag of apples. A man ought to be able to defend his turf.
when I say "thank you" and the response is "no problem"
When is there going to be another cruise??
We’ve been on 3 since the last Freeper one, Carribean, Panama Canal, and Alaska.
Don’t be too hard on your illegals, we have all we can stand right here and don’t need any of yours!
Dang the grammar cops are out in force tonight. Have a drink and relax a bit C.B.
It's even worse in rural West Virginia. The road I live on is unlined and you have to slow down when two cars pass. If you happen to be unlucky enough to get behind one of the old timers driving a 30 year old pickup truck, not only will they drive 10mph, but they will stop and talk to anybody that is traveling in the opposite direction. They will take their sweet time as if totally oblivious to the fact that there are other cars behind them waiting. I've set over 5 minutes while some codger chatted away, and god forbid you get two codgers heading in opposite directions that stop and talk, they might very well shut down the road for the rest of the day.
Well, I remember when Knott’s Berry Farm had that wonderful checken place. Best chicken on the planet. And Knott’s was free. You just paid for what you wanted. I always panned for gold.
Had my 25th Reunion at the Balboa Bay Club. Cool place. Lots of photos of the grande dames of the era and their men. Whooooaaaaa!
Do you remember taking the ferry across from Newport Bay to Lido Isle where John Wayne lived? It was way before Fashion Island, my favorite mall of all time.
I do the exact same thing.
Ask me the question; I tell no lies. Can’t remember a lie after I’ve told it. LOL! Do it in FReepmail.
This new trend to say “yes” and “no” at the end of a statement that was meant to be a question.
Example: “You’ve been to the store already, yes?”
I would have said "The Big un" instead of "The big one", but that would just stir things up more ;^)
Trouble turn two !!!!
We’ve been on two others since then. I do want to take Cyber to Catalina Island just for a three-dayer. It’s so beautiful there. Well, it was until those danged condos were put up and selling for a mil apiece, but not many people would buy them.
Pasadena Freeway was the first freeway in So.Cal. as I recall. Beautiful freeway. Here in AZ the freeways are amazing. Art work everywhere. Well, you have your art work by canned paint. Sorry. I hated going to L.A., but I worked there for quite some time, and it grossed me out.
People who blow or pick their nose in a restaurant while I’m taking a bite of food. I almost have to get up and barf.
No, what grinds my gears and gets my blood pressure up in the 170-180 range is anything and everything this stupid government does. I now have a running battle with the VA and now the department of commerce. Next up, the justice department I would guess.
Hope to be dead before they get my goat.
We used to party with he and Pilar at Catalina all the time back in the 70s.
Spent a lot of time over the years on Balboa Island, my best friend had a home there and one of our neighbors had a home there next to Al Jolson's.
We had a punt with an outboard on it and we painted it with green fluorescent paint so we could cruise Balboa without lights.
They would throw you in prison for using that paint today, it was radium!
That’s been going on in court for years, but the ending was “isn’t that correct?” or “is that correct?” Drove me crazy. I was a court reporter for years. The best answers were “I don’t remember” or “I don’t know.” Stick it to the attorneys who try to play tricks on people.
On the 405 you can get shot in
the back of the head doing that.
in the 60s and 70s we belonged to the Isthmus Yacht Club which was in the old Civil War Barracks and we had our own room there.
Every member had their own room that you kept a refergerator a bed and you personal thing in and locked the door when you left, it was the greatest deal of the century!!
Sheryle would spend the summers there and I would commute on the weekends.
What a great story, dale!!! I’ve only met John Wayne once, and that was when he almost ran into me. But a close friend of mine in high school lived next door to him. He had stories of good ole John.
Having a guy buy me a big mac dinner thinking that I will put out because of it.
(Wake the F*** up. D I A M O N D S get you that homie)
True!
Getting t-boned by a drunk illegal running a
red lite at 6:30AM, totaling both cars and the
local PD just letting him walk away.
