I'm guessing too many pronouncing it dAme instead of dahm.

They told me, if I could play piano, I could play a harp. Petey bought me one - a 26-string clairseach with sharping pins. The only thing I ever learned to play with any competence was Il est ne.

Dad was a fighting Seabee. And navy has always had the best uniforms. Mama made me a hat and coat out of Dad's dress blues then GAVE IT AWAY before I had children. Hard to forgive. Go Navy! Swamp them ground troops!

Yeah. Dad said when you crossed the equator for the first time they dumped you headfirst into a barrel of oil.

Pecos Pete says that, overall, this is the cheapest hobby he's ever had because he's not tearing anything up - previous endeavors: racing toy airplanes and racing go-karts (enduro). During the go-kart phase we were on a first-name basis with the EMTs at several tracks. And one bad landing will set your stick-built airplane back a bit.
I don't remember where the guns came from except I know the pistols were Rugers (since bequeathed to Grandson #1) and the shotgun was my grandfather's L C Smith sxs (stolen in Florida). He built his first gun cart out of a couple of ax handles and some wood he found in a dumpster in my office complex. Clothing: I sew and have made shirts (almost cost-prohibitive these days) but if you can find shirts with a neckband in thrift stores you can remove the collar. Everywhere I go I look for clothing that can be cowboy. One of my favorites (hard to find now at a reasonable price) is a long-sleeved nightgown - put a skirt over it & you got a blouse and an petticoat. OK, that won't help most of you, but if you have a woman....
Where you'll spend the money is on the RV you eventually WILL buy.

With all due respect to MizPete and Alpo, a nurse is not a doctor
I understand. But you are underestimating their knowledge. To this day, I still prefer a nurse practicianer. They listen.
And they know stuff.

My only ever dog, a border collie, was hit by a car right in front of me. Over half a century ago & I still feel the loss. Wishing you comfort and peace.

That was back in the early ‘90s when cigarettes here were still $2.00 a pack or less!
I quit in 1992. My last carton (in NC) cost $15.00

My mama, a nurse, always told Dr Gaston what was wrong with us and what she expected would be done about it. That's generally what happened.

I remain a fan of HST. My Dad hated his guts for firing McArthur.

I like fruitcake and make a good one. Not my mama's favorite - it's so full of nuts it doesn't slice pretty. No alcohol in or on it. Could be, I guess, if you just gotta.

My Dad.
But I think he was on Okinawa. I can't find his cruise book to verify.

Just don't pick up the wrong gun and shoot the TV!!
My cousin Glenn did just that. He said he'd been out in the yard shooting his bb gun when his mom called him in for lunch & to watch the Lone Ranger. It seems that the Lone Ranger did not see the bad guys creeping up behind the rock, so he saved the Lone Ranger's life. Mind you, this was back when not everybody had a TV. Uncle Jack was NOT impressed with his marksmanship.

I loved having grandsons #1 and #2 travel & shoot with us. They only shot for a few years, but it was fun while it lasted.

All I know is, the week before Thanksgiving I went to four grocery stores & there wasn't an egg in any of them. I was beginning to think I'd have to ask the family if they wanted deviled eggs OR pecan pie - didn't have enough at home for both.
Duck eggs: MIL lived on a lake where ppl would dump their Easter ducklings. They'd lay eggs on the bank & she'd use them to make cakes. Best cakes ever.

Sour wood honey
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
No, Sugar, it is not. Sourwood is light and delicate - if you're buying a dark honey, it ain't sourwood. It's absolutely my favorite.
