I never once had detention in school.
I did have a few "Skateboarder", "Hot Rod", and "Car Craft" magazines taken up German class, though.

I also was detention-free in school.

I think the most "trouble" I ever got in school was because I (and a few other students in my class) decided not to take the AP test and our teacher was so upset with us we had to speak with the Dean because he treated us so shabbily.

No reading glasses for me either! I just lower my head and look above my regular glasses when reading up close.

My blink reflex is a force to be reckoned with!

I'll bet mine was as bad as yours is now. I put off getting contacts for many years just because of that. Then I decided that I wanted to just see things without the aid of window in front of me, go out in the rain and not have to clean my glasses off plus I wanted to wear nifty sunglasses so I could look as cool as I truly am anyway.

You still haven't told me why you wouldn't get Bi-focals. It would look a lot less silly then looking over the top of your glasses to read.

I guess I don't have a good reason other than I associate them with being old. I can handle looking silly.

With the no line no one has to know. It is invisible and denial will not make your eyesight better nor make you any younger. Do yourself a favor because eventually everyone will notice that your are older because they see you looking silly.

Currier and Ives...my mom had a bunch. My brother begged for them when she passed because he said he liked to have dinner parties but didn't have any nice dishes and I had gotten a set of nice dishes from my aunt when I got married. So I agreed even though I really wanted them myself, and the next week when I went to the flea market I found all the Crystal, silver, and currier and Ives dishes, along with my mom's antique Singer sewing machine there. He just wanted the money and knew I'd never agree if I knew he was going to sell it. Breaks my heart because those were the dishes we used my whole childhood for ever special occassion.

Oh my that was underhanded, he could have at least sold them to you.

I used to have to go hunting with Mom and Dad, and I hated it.

I have nothing against hunting (as long as people eat what they shoot), anyway it is not for me. It seems boring and cold. I'd rather go fishing (not ice fishing), as that too is boring (to me anyway).

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Oh that's way too cold. We have a heated mattress pad, dual controls....hubby has never turned his side on.

My husband never turns on his side of the electric blanket either. The hotter the better for me.

It was -9 when I woke up this morning. Big change from the 32 degrees it was on Saturday....

We had -18 here, it was pretty chilly.

 

[donaldtoo]

pics or it didnt happen!

Hahaaa...!
I almost included an apology for no pic in that post, but it wasn't my fault...that whole sandwich jumped in my belly before I ever knew what happened...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Wasn't there a Brady Bunch episode about those stamps?

Yep...!

That is too cute! Hopefully it comes in other colors, though? Not a big fan of brown.

Didnt see any other model I'm afraid.
I think its pretty unique.
only for boys.

I was wondering how bad it got over there. I hope we make it through Thursday and get out of this weather pattern!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I hope this is better late than never. Happy Birthday. You are 29 right?

I just now "ketchuped" to this post. I don't mind my age. I don't act it so it's all good.

And it is still snowing.........

And it is still snowing.........

someone needs to punch Elsa to make her let it go. D:

 

[Gabe1]

I thought it was much more, it's going back then...Doctor would approve. thanks for the information! Happy dance, now I can with my afternoon pain killer. It also raises your good cholesterol. Yipee!

Happy to be of service.

 

[Cesar R M]

oh, more photos!


I have processed all my photos, will try to start the report soon.
I hope to do most of it by the end of this week (depends on how bad is my workload)

Our old car had a manucfacturer's issue that made the doors freeze and you couldn't open them from the inside, only from the outside. I had to crawl out of the window one time because that time it wouldn't even open from the outside like usual. Pain in the patootie..every winter!

Sympathy.

That television wasn't built it in was a portable that ran off the cigarette lighter. Now that I think about it maybe it was a little fancy. More like something to keep kids quiet on long road trips. As far as car radios go I had FM before my parents. That's something they never sprung for. I changed out the radio in my first car, I wanted music.

Oh yes, I knew it was one that probably plugged into the lighter, or ran on batteries, or both. We knew some folks that had those. Pretty sure only James Bond had a built-in TV back then.

And, same here. Right after I bought my first car, a '71 Cutlass Supreme, I installed a new AM/FM stereo with a cassette deck and 2 biga$$ speakers in the package tray...!!!
