I stopped sending my grandson anything when he never acknowledged receiving them. Last year he complained to my son and DIL about not even getting a card from me. My DIL (I love that lady)quietly asked him if he'd ever so much as let me know that he had received anything. This year I got a Christmas card and a birthday card from him. If he keeps it up until next year I'll send him a card. It will take a lot longer than that get mentioned in my will again.

My very first credit card bill (I was 17 and bought a jacket from J. C. Penny): I paid it before I got the bill. Bill came in for $00.00. I laughed and threw it away. Next month I got a notice that I was in arrears for $00.00. This repeated for three more months. Finally they threatened to take legal action and to put a negative statement in my credit rating. I went the the manager of the store...a family friend...and asked how I could get this BS stopped. He told me to send them a check for the full amount. I did, for $00.00, and never heard any more about it. That was in 1959, long before anyone knew about computers. I destroyed the card and haven't done any business with JCP since.

I should have said "some of" the movies". Some of them were so bad they could be described as "criminally bad." -
Now We Know Where Tesla Looked For the Design
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
What a rude comparison. At least the Sci-fi movies were entertaining. The Tesla is just plain ugly and a lousy design both inside and out. -
Found 'em. Look good for paper shells.

There were still tons of unexploded and abandoned ammo all over Okinawa when I was there.....22 to 25 years after the war ended. TV and radio announcements were broadcast several time a week warning folks in several languages about the dangers and EOD never took a break the whole time. They were carefully gathered and taken off shore to an unoccupied island (or so I was told) where they were destroyed by explosives, probably C-4.

Now We Know Where Tesla Looked For the Design
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I like the dumpster better. At least it looks like It had a purpose in mind in its design. I was next to a Tesla for six or seven miles in traffic the other day. The damn thing is a traffic hazard. You can'r see around it nor through it and it appears to have more blind spots than a Sherman tank, even more so than my Impala sedan.. -

Wouldn't it be wonderful to watch this with the music, but WITHOUT THE HUMAN NARRATIVE. -

Only to my remaining sanity and increased embarrassment. -
Have you earned a black belt in sitting around? I don't have the seriousness with my feet and legs that some of y'all have, but I have walking problems of my own. After I got a black belt in falling down I started working on one for sitting around.

What?

No, those were Cisco Kid's branded.

Of course you're a lady. I knew that and just plain wasn't paying attention. My apologies. -
A friend of years gone by received a five pound bag of oranges every St. Patrick's day. He was NOT amused and blamed me for awhile but never did find out who really sent them. He moved to Montana five or six years later and I lost track.

Oh goody. Something else that wants me to sign in. BS!

Dump the cuffs....and the last spurs I ever owned had Gene Autry's name on them.

About four dozen guns and a chihuahua min-pin mix puppy. -
I have no idea. I thought it was stupid then and still, do but I don't let anyone tell me how to spend my money and I don't tell anyone how to spend theirs.....no matter what I feel about their sanity.

That puts some spice to them. My first DIL was Mexican. My new DIL is a wonderful black lady who is too good for my son(and he realizes that), but love does strange things to people. My wife was too good for me, but God created her just for me and I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
