    From a 1902 article.

     

    When traveling, always carry a tiny box of flaxseed for possible cinders. The instant a foreign substance is felt in the eye throw the head back and drop two or three flaxseeds on the ball of the eye and lift the upper lid and draw it down over them, so as to hold them in. There is no disagreeable sensation attached to putting the seed in, and the relief will come instantly. The moisture of the eye dampens the seed, and it gives out a mucous substance, which spreads over the eye and covers the grit. After awhile the seeds will begin to work out and Fix this textwill bring the offending particles with them

     

    I am gonna hafta say “Nay” on this one. :lol:
    I had a heckuva time putting contacts in my eyes years ago. 
     

    But I will keep this in mind. Thanks Dave.

  2. Der…Duh…I missed the “exploding” plate thing in Marshal’s post and was wondering why y’all were joking about it. :huh: :lol:
     

    In CA-CA the new status symbol is the digital plate. It’s literally an LED screen as a license plate. The plate can display messages to police and others like “EXPIRED” if registration isn’t paid or “STOLEN” if the car is stolen and reported. Apparently the Ministry of People’s Movement has control over these plates. They can also track you via GPS.

    I asked one smarmy Tesla driving member of the CA collective about his plate and he went into a brainwashed litany of how great they are. I stopped him and asked him if he realized that since it has GPS the CHP could feasibly at some point start handing out speeding tickets due to his shiny new watchdog on the a** end of his car.

    Brainwashed litany OVER. 
     

    I love it when I can brighten a CA-CA citizen’s day and show them how inept and gullible they are. 

  3. Congratulations Forty Rod. That’s some cool information. :)
     

     

    I was avidly searching on Ancestry and all kinds of internet treasure troves looking for info on everyone in my family tree. I had my Dad’s side tracked back to the 1730’s and my Mom’s side back to 1717. I was telling one of my sisters about this when she says “Did you know that Mom’s father was not her real father, her birth father?”

    I thought maybe she was just messing with me then she added “Call Aunt Helen. She’ll tell you about it.”

    So I did. 
    Here I am, 60 years old, just then learning that my Mom’s real father was a neighbor boy my grandma fooled around with at age 16.

    This pretty much took the wind out of my sails regarding researching my family’s history. 
    I lost interest. 
    I spent lots of hours and lots of money on this project. 
     

    I may take up the task again this year but my enthusiasm about it just isn’t what it once was.

  4. “Lawn of your dreams”

    Do not buy a house in a neighborhood that has one house with a “dream lawn” when everyone else just has a lawn. The person with the dream lawn is usually a real and true pain in the a**. Especially if the prevailing winds send your dandelion seeds his way. 
    It irks them. Then that irks you. Then harsh words are spoken. Threats are made on one side while promises are made on the other. Fantasies of leaving messages in the grass using “Kill All” or gasoline dance in one’s dreams.

    It’s a vicious annual circle. Things just don’t go well. Avoid those neighborhoods if at all possible.

  5. I used to say that I didn’t like black motorcycles. One day my wife pointed out that most of my motorcycles were black. 
    She also informed me that she knows I love jet black horses because I will stop whatever I am doing to look at a black horse and that I always comment about how beautiful a black horse is on shows and movies. 
    I guess I like things that stir my soul that are jet black.

    I do not ride horses. Never really learned. I have ridden but not enough to amount to much experience. 
     

    My favorite horse was a horse in the next stall over from my daughter’s horse at an equestrian center in CA. 
    The horse’s name was Top Gun. He was jet black and a beautiful horse. The owner said he hated men. Probably because men abused him. He did like me though. I brought him treats when I went with my daughter to check on her horse. Carrots and apples. He especially liked Granny Smiths but any apple was fine. 
    Top Gun’s owner was taken aback by how much he liked me. She offered to let me ride him. I declined. I told her “He’s my friend. I don’t ride my friends.” Then I smiled and handed Top Gun another apple. In reality I didn’t want to because I had no idea what to do once on the horse and I figured Top Gun might just take advantage of that doubt and hesitation. :lol:
    He was a beauty.

    My uncle went to ucla for free. Had to be in the 40s

    That’s your basis?

     

    I lived in CA from 83-88, 90-05. 10-13, 18-22. 
    In all that time, 26 years and the span from 83 until today there is and were no free rides for white, straight males.

    You got Bactine?

     

    Lucky dog...we got the red/orange iodine if we were lucky. No iodine...straight to the 100 and something percent alcohol. 

    Ahh....the good ole days.B)

    Oh I got the micurichrome(sp?), iodine and the alcohol too. The Bactine was only in the medicine cabinet when times were better.

    I don't know why, but for some reason I thought this was going to be about the guns used in the movie.

    I wish they did use the guns from the movie. I should say “other guns from the movie”. 

  9. It would depend on the color of the flag they’re flying. Any flag that’s black would be a bad sign. ;)

    As an aside I have been watching “Black Sails” on Netflix. Very interesting, but definitely not something you want the kids to watch. R rated, for sure. 

    It’s a show about the pirates of the early 1700’s in the West Indies, as it was called then. Bahamas and the Virgin Islands and such.
