  1. My mother was a first grade teacher for almost forty years. After my parents both retired they travelled to many places they dreamed of. They got some really affordable tours through the college where Dad had been a professor. One was to Japan. As the tourists were being sorted out a young Japanese man wearing a beautifully tailored suit (Mom noticed those kinds of things) walked though the crowd and asked in nearly perfect English (she noticed those things, too) "Excuse me,Ma'am, are you Edna Taylor". She said she was. He introduced himself by name and said "Mrs. Taylor, you taught me to speak English". His father had been exchange student at USU and enrolled the boy in a local school...Mom's school. Mom assigned a boy and girl to "tutor" him and modified her curriculum to help. After a month she changed out the "tutors" because everyone wanted their turn to help him. His mother would come and sit in on the classes a lot, and they both learned English together. Mom asked what he was doing now and he told her he and his father owned the tour company that was taking their group around, and that he was going to take her group personally. Mom asked if that was going to take work away from someone else and he told her that the girl who was to lead then was a new guide and she would be coming along as his assistant at full pay. I never heard much about what Mom got out the grand tour of Japan, but she could tell you everything she learned about this guy and his family. They exchanged mail for several years before Mom got Alzheimers. Thank you Hideo. I apologize for not remembering you last name.
  2. I put $2100.00 into my dogs mouth three years ago because her old age teeth were failing. It was worth every penny. I honesty hope she dies before I do because she suffered so much when my wife died. I don't want her togo through that again.
  3. Yeah, I was running rear guard when Moses crossed the Red Sea.
  4. Fart? At my age I have be careful I don't become a turd.
  5. I agree with first statement. As to the second, I would do it again but no force on Earth would have me.
  6. Don't put Carl don't just yet. Anyone who would dress and arm himself like that and then go into a crowd of fighters might be a damn fool......or he might just be the meanest SOB for miles around.
  7. I don't watch the Academy Awards, but I always check the see who won. It's a great way to get a list of crap I don't ever want to watch.
  8. My spirits are up, but good health? That's pretty iffy right now 3 of the last 5 days in the ER. And JFWIW worth, I don't like the sound of 82. I prefer 41.......again.
  9. I'd show him my Colt. If that didn't work I'd demonstrate how it works.
  10. There was a time in the steam era when this world saw a lot of gorgeous locomotives, in a lots of countries. The diesels came along and we still saw some new locos that would be considered beautiful....but not many. Thanks for the memories.
  11. Think those guys have enough shooting irons?
  12. I still use cake soap...Camay, because it's what my wife used. Tried an electric. Three or four different ones. Never thought much of them. I do use an electric beard and mustache trimmer, though. Beats scissors.
