What color?

I think they called it frost green - it looked olive green to me, with the black stripes that started back on the doors and ran through the front fenders and turned downwards. It had a leather roof too - I can't remember if it was black or dark green, but I took it off years ago. I replaced the rear quarter panels and a front fender, added a fin on the trunk and an L88 style hood. It's all primer gray now. The interior is a forest green color, so I'm thinking about painting it white and re-doing the stripes in metalic forest green.

Yeah by late afternoon they all called off down here too with -35 expected. I wouldn't be surprised if it is extended through at least Thursday. I hate opening the door to let the pup out. I keep putting off starting the car out in the driveway.

Yeah, my two little doggies run outside and run back inside pretty quick. This morning they were doing their business and they had a hard time getting back in their poor little paws froze. I had my shoes on though and I was ready to carry them back in but they made it. They were outside just a short time too, I was waiting by the door ready to let them in as soon as they were ready, I didn't want them outside for long.

This is NOT mine - just a picture I found on the internet. I don't have an SS, but this is the general look.

Get your people to fax my people the date and menu.

Sorry, no faxing.

The King Cakes in Illinois cannot have anything baked into them here. Board of Health prohibits hide and go seek in food items.

I will never understand these weird rules and laws.
I remember that "Kinder surprise" chocolate eggs are also banned.

I actually have an unbeaten run of getting the figurines for 25 consecutive years.

In the early years many of my friends had those cameros or Trans Ams in high school. Me, I was a Mustang Gal.
Still miss her. She was purty.

I like the mustangs too. but the new designs (plus bumblebee's design), made me to go for the Camarón (aka shrimp joke related to a red camaro I seen twice in my town. Shrimp = camaron)

I do a powder foundation, some concealer, eye shadow, blush, and lip gloss. I don't use mascara except for maybe a clear mascara. Thankfully, I don't need it. It takes me less than five minutes to do my makeup.

I may be good at engineering, but lady makeup still confuses me

Had a 307, 2-barrel, turbo 350. Now a 454 with a 4 speed. Zoom, zoom!!! :0)

Good Lord, man! They didn't even come stock with the 454 big block...!
That oughta' get ya' about 3 gal. to the mile.
I always liked how Pontiac, Buick, and Olds offered a 455 big block... "It's one bigger!"

Ah, yes. The ol' 307 small block mated to the turbo-hydramatic 350. A quadrajet would actually get better mileage if ya' kept your foot outta' it. Yea, like that would happen.
Had a buddy that had a '68 Camaro with a 327 and a powerglide.
Him and another buddy of mine (others of us helped on the project, but, had no money invested) also dropped a 327 into a '75 Vega. That thing was insane...!!!

Need pics when she's all finished, please!

Nice!
I've always loved the rally wheels!
Does yours have 'em...?

 

[donaldtoo]

And, I take that back. It was actually a '73 Vega that was set up a lot like this one, but, paint-wise, it never made it outta' primer gray...

You'd be surprised at how many men wear some type of make up. I'm not saying a majority by any means but there is a demographic that does. Just like there is the guys you can glance at on a train and see the fresh manicures or the hair dye that is starting to grow out at the temples back of neck.

I rode the school bus.

We did not have school buses and in elementary school we had to go home for lunch. I was a mile from the elementary school 1 1/2 miles to the high school. My Mom did not drive when I was little. I think maybe in middle school she went to driving school and got a licence.

My kids were bused to Elementary, Middle and high school. They only walked to Primary School and walk we did.

I rode the school bus.

I hated the school bus. Could not wait to get my license and get off that thing. For one, the middle and high schoolers shared a bus. The middle schoolers usually sat in the front of the bus and the high schoolers in the back. When I was in middle school, the high schoolers were horrible, and the driver would flip flop so that she could better keep an eye on the high schoolers. When I got to high school, all of us who had been the good middle schoolers were now the good high schoolers, and the middle schoolers were horribly behaved. And if our regular driver wasn't there, all h**l broke loose.

There was one time sophomore year of high school where the driver wasn't there. The middle schoolers were horrible that morning. Hanging out the windows, making a ton of noise, standing in the aisles...ugh. And then when it was time for the high schoolers to get off the bus, they were still in the aisles. One kid starts doing what looked like an Irish jig in the aisle. I came up to him and said, "Get. Out. Of. My. Way." That kid moved pretty quickly and the rest of them cleared. Too early for all of that.

I was very glad to get my car and get off the bus. I will say this: even though I didn't like that bus driver when I was in middle school and the feeling was pretty mutual then, by the time I got to high school, I grew to respect her a lot. Those kids were horrible, and she had control of them. She was also an excellent driver. There was one time where we should have gone late to school and didn't, and we got stuck on ice trying to go up a hill. She got that bus safely turned around and to school. And she seemed to like me better in high school.

I had to ride the school bus, always to school My dad was able to pick me up every other week from school, his work schedule was 7am-3pm and 3pm-11pm every other week. Riding the bus we were always last ones on to school and last ones off from school. It was an hour ride home, so I got my homework done on the way home or if there wasn't any homework I got a lot of reading done. I don't miss riding a bus, although I have to when we take our students on a field trip.

Me too.

aa yes, the "Metrosexual".

I took dance for six years. I think the makeup needed for recitals traumatized me because when I was about 10 or so, people would say, "Oh, soon, you'll be wanting to wear makeup..." and I would stop them there and say "Nope." And it's taken me until age 19 to willingly wear makeup on a daily basis.


I flat iron my hair when I'm at home, even if I have no place to go. Mostly because I can flat iron it and keep it that way for 2-3 days, and it's out of my way. Definitely takes me longer to do that, but it's well worth it being out of my way.

Prepare for teenage logic: I don't make my bed on a daily basis because I don't see the sense in it when I'm going to be getting back in it 15 hours later. It gets made when I put new sheets on it or if we're expecting company.

That's not just teenage logic.

Guess who has an interview with Disney next week. I know it would be hard work, a little stressful according to
@donaldtoo but it would be a fantastic opportunity. The girl who answered the phone told me to "have a magical experience with Disney shopping."
