  1. I inherited my Grandmother's recipe for boiled fruitcake. " fruitcake for people who don't like fruitcake". Very versatile and "convertible". My GM made it using gumdrops (Yuk). My sister used candied fruit. I used dehydrated fruit. My daughter used fresh or flash frozen fruits. Don't like cloves? Use whatever else you might like. Tree nut allergies? Same solution. Want to try it with pineapple? Again. In the last 20 years or so we've tried maybe 50 versions. Some aren't to my tase but someone else may rant about them. I usually make three or four a season.
  2. It keeps 5 and 7 from banging into each other....and it's not a federal or state "shut-everything-down-and-take-a-day-off-with-pay" holiday.
  3. Oh Goodie! More government edicts for the slow-minded.
  4. I'm about four miles from a Amazon "hub" over on the east side of town. I have had deliveries in six hours, usually more like 20.
  5. I dunno. Is that raging a-----e still alive?

  7. You just made me feel like an antique. A very rare and desirable antique, but an antique nonetheless. I graduated from high school in 1960 and college in 1965. 1965 also saw me married, commissioned in the Army and on my way to many wonderful (and some various other kinds) of adventures all over. Thanks.
  8. WOW! Good message. Great lyrics. Understandable rendition. Music doesn't blow your eardrums out. Also doesn't cover the singing. Acoustical guitar. Well played guitar. Singer looks like people I know. He dresses like I used to when I was dressing up. Able to sing along. No profanity. No politics. Takes me back forty or more years. Let's do it more often.
  9. I woke up dead once but I got over it.
  10. ...and a carton of falopian tubes.
  11. Very carefully. VERY carefully!!!
  12. I listened to an awful lot of reasons why I'll never go up in that bird. There was one at Planes of Fame in Chino that sounded like a new plane, but THIS ONE sounds like death on a stick.
  13. I was a pretty good skier in high school and college. I quit the day we were skiing Brighton east of Salt Lake and two kids about 10 or 11 years old passed me like I'd stopped for lunch. I finished the run and never skied again.
  14. My daughter has a Forester and an old Bronco that she bough when she graduated from college. Her husband drives a Ford 4WD Flex pickup. They live in N. Carolina and didn't get much wind form the last Hurricane, but they got LOTS of water. The driveway was partially washed away, the road down the hill lost a bridge, and they had to get out to get supplies. The Ford Flex was too wide to get past the washed out section of driveway. The Forester only has about five inches of ground clearance and couldn't get off the property. That old 1987 "Bronco Billy" was up to the task and even towed the bridge back up to help make the road passable.
  15. The three neighbors across the street and I look out for each other and pick up mail, packages, etc it they aren't there. The one next to me on the south is never home. I haven't seen him in almost a year. His daughter is living there and I seldom see her. The guy on the north is a hermit. He goes walking everyday and I see him once in awhile around towns . The last two are quiet and anti- social so we don't interact much.
  16. One exception: Gene Autry couldn't sing for sour apples, but he wasn't loud and he did write some great stuff.
  17. Now, there's name from the middle of the last century.
  18. I don't know but a few of thesefolks. Willies Nelson isn't a great singer, but he writes great music and puts on a fantastic show. Johnny Cash was a moderately good singer and a marvelous showman.
  19. And without music so loud you can't hear the singers and it makes your teeth ache.
  20. I don't much care what secret messages are in there, I just enjoy the movie a lot. Watched it for the unpteenth time a couple of months ago. Another WWII movie with Lee Marvin is Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, and one more that I like a lot is Mother Goose with Cary Grant.
  21. I won't pay what they ask for their pre-cooked. I get the old fashioned cook it yourself kind for about half the price of the precooked stuff. It's one of my few self-indulgences, but I'm worth it.
  22. My wife called it "lazy man's bacon". I prefer Hormel's original Black Label bacon, cook it on a stove-top griddle with a cast iron press. Add a few eggs and a couple of slices of toast with the jam of the day. (Surprising how often that is Smucker's sweet orange marmalade.) Also put some it with 50 /50 apple juice and apple juice, and a cup or two of Farmer Brothers Arabica coffee with a bunch of sugar and I'm good to go.
  23. My gripe is with them hiring people who DON'T have any accents, but some little girl (there are male versions, too, but not as often) with a squeaky Minnie Mouse voice and who talks so softly I can't hear what is being said.
