and why are old fashioned companies coming up with "stylish" but totally meaningless crap like this.
I want a BLACK jacket. Plain and simple BLACK, not some b.s. color that some idiot in the marketing department thinks is cool.

I've never used it before but I'm told it really adds a lot to beef stew.
What do I need to know to get the most out of it? (aka "What the heck am I doing and what do I need to know?")
I have a favorite beef stew recipe but I want to move it up to the next level.
Also, has anyone added mushrooms to beef stew?

I'll wait until they have one that comes with a recliner and a lap rug.

Are you looking for something like this?
Or something more like this?
Neither one my darlin'. More like the old Levi Strauss denim jackets that we used to call jumpers.

Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the catch on that one.

I have a very good friend who lives 15 minutes up the road. He was an Army combat medic in 'Nam and came away with three purple hearts and a chest full of "fruit salad".
He saved my life 54 years after I came home from 'Nam and left the Army.

Live Free AND Die!
I rode in and drove almost every known type of vehicle for about 70 years without having any seat belts.....except on the race track. where I also wore helmets, fire-proof clothing and had roll bars, shatter-proof window glass, side crash bars, fire extinguishers, etc.....
I was never seriously injured nor killed without the protection of seat belts, air bags, padded everything, tinted glass, side door safety bars.
I finally gave up about about 12 years ago when it became a nuisance explaining to every "do-gooder" in a fifty mile radius why I didn't think that the equipment was necessary.
BTW, I added seat belts to my 1954 Dodge in about 1957. They weren't required then and 99% of the cars didn't have them. I bought them from a catalog because I simply wanted to be different.

I gave up on posting that I don't / won't / can't use many sites. A lot of intriguing-sounding posts aren't available anywhere else and I'm too old to go searching for another source.
I was hoping to get the attention of some of these posters so they might be willing to make them available to us dinosaurs.
They seem to be more interested in defending their use of them than in accommodating those of us who don't / won't / can't.
Sorry folks, but I'll just get by without that info for another 83 years.

Tom, are ya lookin' for what we used to call "Poplin" windbreakers?
Check these:
Or, just Google "Poplin Windbreaker"
I checked out a bunch of those, but most makes don't have plain white available, many that do have otherwise spoiled theirs with fancy stitching and logos etc., and 100% cotton is almost impossible to find. Most are 90%-98.5% cotton with polyester or spandex or something else corrupting their products.
I'm hoping the ones I found (see previous post) work out.
Thanks for looking, though.

I don't know how I missed that. I looked at Amazon a half dozen times before.
Okay, I DID NOT find what I was looking for....but something even better. A 100% pure cotton snow white denim jacket cut like the blue and tan ones I wore as a kid. I just need to find out if the sizes run true or if I'll have to fish around for onr that does.
Thanks.

Do these still exist and, of so, where can I find one?
I'm looking for a white or very pale tan or blue wind breaker / coaches coat / golf coat style with either snap / button or elastic cuffs and a pair of outside pockets.
It needs to be a XXL if the sizes run true and I don't want any decorations or logos on it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

When we went with Star on the license, we needed a copy of the birth certificate, utility bills, and previous license. Odd they wouldn't accept the original birth certificate! A few times my wife has had to have a copy our marriage license to prove the name change.
I found out, after 79 years of using my "birth certificate" to get Military Secret and Top Secret clearances, aerospace security clearances, driver's licenses in 11 states and two foreign countries, traveling to 13 foreign countries, having two marriage licenses, birth certificates for my kids, a number of jobs, SEC license and State licenses for various things, teaching in 7 public schools, a State Land Grant College and a private college, a business college and a private school in Japan, and CCWs in three states, plus buying tons of things that required IDs, that my "birth certificate" wasn't one at all.
It was a Commerce Department certificate stating that my real certificate was on file in Portland (NOT even at the state capital). I called them and after three or four weeks and less that $60.00 I had four certified copies. I did in that time what Obama could NOT get done in 8 years.
I also decided that I didn't really want that damned star on my driver's license after all. I'm not ever going to get on an airplane again.
Also, I have never had a passport, never been arrested, nor any other thing that would require that silly piece of paper.

A feller a few blocks east or here has a few dozen phone booths for sale. All are the kind you get inside to use, no stand in the walk way "wall hangers."
One still had a phone that looks like something from the 1920s and is housed in a very nicely made wooden cabinet with very elegant glass, a slatted wood mat on the floor and a small chandelier with cut glass cover panels in the ceiling.
All the hardware is antique finished brass. There is a leather upholstered fold down chair for your comfort, and a 2' x 3' pull out desk. It has a single swing-open door and pull down blinds if you want privacy. Also provided is a three speed reversible ceiling fan with matching wood blades.
You had to push a button and wait for the operator to come on and get your number for you. A push button keyboard is cleverly hidden behind a small panel near the rear of the desk. BTW, the phone works. All the guts have been replaced (without being visible at all) with 2022 technology. The hand crank etc. are still there but no longer functional. The mouth piece and speaker cone work just fine.
I'd love to have it if I could add a room to my house. (And if I had the $15,000.00 that he had it marked for. It sold over two years ago.) The entire unit is about 5' x 6' and 8' tall. It probably weighs 1/2 of a ton, maybe more.
Collectors come from all over to buy these things....for about what I can buy a decent used car for and he has a search list for others.

Meh. It doesn't seem to do anything good or bad to the tea or the butter. Both just taste sort of blah.

what drink would you put butter in?
For cold days, hot tomato soup and some teas. Also OSEM chicken consomme soup and seasoning mix (it's kosher and tastes marvelous). Beef consomme soup just because it tastes good.
Nor recommended for Ovaltine. It takes on a "rough" taste. Doesn't go well with some teas, but works with Chinese green tea and isn't bad with English breakfast tea.
It just dawned on me that it might be good in chamomile tea. I'll have to try it tomorrow morning.

If you can see fricasseed racoon tail, fried opossum or boiled armadillo (served any way at all) as being edible or becoming a tradition....your meds must be WAAAAAAY out of wack.
PS - Don't cook armadillo in the house, the smell won't go away for days.
And you know that how?
How did it taste?

Alpo get a butter bell and keep your butter on the counter. It stays soft then.
Three ways to keep butter in my house:
1. Frozen.
2. Refrigerated to thaw.
3. In a covered container on the counter top.
This moves ahead a step every two or three days because I LIKE BUTTER (Kerry Gold salted gets the most coverage.) and use it in or on almost everything but cold cereal and and most drinks.

I was young once, but I wasn't very good at it. I was good at somethings but none worth mentioning.

I remember Shagnasty. Wasn't that from the old CAS-l wire? I wonder what happened to him?
older brother. He's somewhere out there, hiding from the law or one of his ex-wives or bill collectors or some offended boyfriends or husbands of a girlfriend or several, of someone he cheated at cards or some other way....lots of other possibilities to boggle the mind. Have you ever seen a mind being boggled? It's horribly gruesome sight but you can't pull you eyes away.
BTW, have you ever had, or seen, an eye being pulled away?
Scuseme. I had way too much coffee for breakfast

What color is Levi Strauss "Gothic" really?

Most of it is NOT music, it's just very loud, repetitious,inappropriate, annoying noise and probably close to 70% of the people who shop in MY neighborhood are over 50 years old.
Also explain why I get "music" in a hardware store parking lots as well as inside the store, blaring out of gas pumps, from the fronts of stores, etc. This is noise pollution plain and simple.
I don't need this with my breakfast (or any other meal) and when it is so loud that I can't carry on a conversation it is just too much.
Some places will turn it down if asked, but in most chain stores the staff.....including the so called managers.....have no control over it. "Corporate" controls it, but I'll bet you won't hear any of it in their offices.
