Home is behind, the world ahead, |
thanks... didn't actually mean to post that. Just got messed up on my windows there for a bit.
Heh...I spent a LOT of time wearing an eye patch myself when I was little. Lazy eye, or whatever the proper term for that is. The patch was supposed to fix it.
But I'm still near legally blind in that eye. Without correction, I can't even read the letters on my keyboard from more than a handspan away or so.
Not that that has to do with anything. But I can identify with the depth perception issues and such that go along with being one-eyed. ;-)
Nighters. You can keep your portion for tomorrow's betting, if you wish.
As you wish. :-)
He's a neat guy. He's Apache Springs' new police chief. He's also, by rights, an heir to the Pfouts fortune ... but he's illegitimate, so he'll never see a penny as long as his grandmother's still alive ...
Oh, Apache Springs makes Peyton Place look like a cloister!
You're really having fun rewriting our lives to be more interesting, aren't you?
*feeling foolish*
What's Peyton Place?
Besides, I'm just writing your life as I see it ... including an engineer for you.
As for the Hairs, well ... they like their thirty acres with a creek running through it ...
Peyton Place was a small town full of turmoil, secrets, lies, gossip, et cetera, et cetera. It was the prototype of must-see TV. The name of the show entered the lexicon; it was even mentioned in a country song, "Harper Valley P.T.A.":
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there, and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away ...
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?
Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again.
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit?
Well, this is just a little Peyton Place, and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites!
LMAO! Maybe the strange motion makes her think it's some sort of strange bug.
I used to drive Marl's house cats nuts with a laser pointer, until she banned its use. I didn't race the dot around the floor, but let it "creep" along like a bug. They'd pounce, open their paws, and find nothing, so they'd start combing through the carpet pile, looking for it.
Geez, is she still around? Of course, I don't go poking around in the FR sub-sub-basement.
I was guest speaker tonight at a meeting of Mighigan Military Moms (and dads). Brought a big bunch of stuff and did two hours of show-and-tell. Got more requests from them, maybe some hits (and donations) on the web site. And I laid out our financial status on the table for them. Ecurbh, do you have a hit counter there?
I also got to meet one of the "kids", Navy SEAL, looks 16, must weigh 150 lbs. He got one of our Extrema Ratios, said his jaw dropped when he saw it, and he'll have top braggin' rights when he gets back to work.
Items shown included the Pelican IR flasher, and the Spec Ops flashlight sheath. He was impressed by both. He says they have an unlimited budget for goodies, but he never saw either thing, and thought they could be quite useful. I invited him to visit our web site for product reviews.
It was great to talk to folks in realtime, and field their questions. I know they think I (and we)are crazy, but as Hair says, "it's a good kind of crazy".
As he, and the dads with prior service said, these items are picked out by people who know soldiering.
Big'ol was so funny the other day. He said, "Wow, we've got all the holidays coming up: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Spring Training."
Er, I don't think 'pitchers and catchers reporting' is technically a holiday. I'm certainly not going to cook big for it! :P
Goood morning!
I just go straight for Trace Adkin's 'Arlington'.
Lana Turner and Hope Lange were in the movies (there was two).
mmmmmmmm Lana Turner, Hope Lange....
My Mama loves her movies. Moment to Moment (Hope Lange) and Madam X (Ingrid Bergman) were two of her favorites. I think she finally found 'em both on VHS.
But if her movies were on, that's what we'd watch. My dad would tolerate 'em. I think the bourbon helped.
One week to TurkeyMoot
How cool is that?! :-D
Good morning everyone!
Mornin'. Y'all are prolly the two that can help me with fashion advice. Nothing personal to the rest o' the folks, but I'm fairly certain I'm the only one (or one of the only ones) regularly in a suit or at least a tie. That said.
Men's double-breasted suit. Still acceptable or out of style?
IOW, since it fits again, do I keep/wear it? Or does it go to Goodwill?
Discuss.
