  1. Does anyone else agree?..............
  2. Actually Rodger you'll be celebrating the 41st anniversary of your 39th birthday. The E-word is a WNA. (I just got there too.......).
  3. I'm with you Ken. I 've been simming now for 40 years and I somehow feel like I've been-there-and-done-that. Not much new to explore. I've never been into the eye-candy side of things. I'm more into practices and procedures. I thought MSFS2020 would get me going again but it's so poorly implemented that I've decided to put it on the shelf and move on to other things.
  4. I lived about 30 miles north of Big Sur back In The Day. How well I remember this.....
  5. Just being upright doesn't count. You also have to be breathing.....
  6. The e-mail I got last month from an old girlfriend from 65 years ago who told me that she still loved me. And it made me realize that I still loved her too. Thanks for the memories.........
  7. My Dad was also a big boxing fan. The only reason he gave in and finally bought a TV was so he could watch the Gillette Friday Night Fights (How are you fixed for blades? You better check. Please make sure you have enough. 'Cause a worn-out blade makes shaving mighty tough). And how well I remember so many of these bouts: Boxing in the 1950s - Wikipedia .
  8. How well I remember our big Zenith console radio. Like yours, it was, indeed, a piece of furniture, I wish I had that radio today...sigh.
  9. Yes, I'm recalling the radio series. TV came to my house rather late in the game. But never forget, when the little boy was asked which he liked better, radio or TV, he replied "I like radio more because you can see the story much better". Sometimes the old times are the best times.....
  10. I didn't listen to Sky King very much. It just didn't seem right letting a girl (Penny) fly the Songbird.
  11. I was too busy being Roy Rogers to worry about airplanes.
  12. Welcome to the forums(s) Come back soon and often.........Doug
  13. Besides allowing cheap booze, the State schools have another distinct advantage...the women are sooo much better looking than the Ivy babes. Even before closing time.
  14. Beer? At a college game? I've never heard of such a thing. Good bourbon whiskey maybe, but beer? What kind of a college is that?
  15. My oldest son went to the University of Georgia. His son went to Ohio State. They watched THE GAME together. It should have been great entertainment just being there watching the two of them. Go Dogs.............
  16. Not necessarily.......... One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away, and the police officer was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the officer stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content. To the cop's amazement, the results showed a reading of 0.0! The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."
  17. May you RIP. I could ever coached soccer without your help. You were right there beside me all the time and you never let me down. The world has lost what I will always consider the best player and the best inspiration to so many kids.....Doug
  18. Drinking good bourbon whiskey and remembering Sandi Lee............
  19. Only when I've had a little too much to drink and have eaten way too many beans.
  20. It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since she and Ike were at the top of their game. Tina is, indeed, a rare talent.
  21. C-3PO is on my side of the family. I don't recall seeing R2D2 anywhere in the family tree.
  22. When I was just a little guy my Grandaddy told me that if it turns and it shouldn't get the duct tape. And if it should turn but it won't get the WD40. I can't even imagine how many nuts and bolts have been released back into the world due to WD40. I'm proud to have been a part of that.
