Care to get more specific....maybe with a landmark ?
'69....did the High School still have steps up to the front door or did it already sink enough to just walk straight in (like when I attended) ?
I lived on Alexander Avenue along the river about 4 blocks from the high school. The steps were gone but we saw pictures of them. My class was Henry Hamilton's last class.
Oh boy....they are just LOCKED right in now! Let it hap'n cap'n!!!!
Is a Pens Cup capped off with an EERS Big 12 championship for 2016 too much to ask??? Dare to dream I say!

I hate when people talk on the phone with speaker phone on so everyone can hear the conversation. Nobody cares
I like telling them there is a police officer ticketing their car. They tend to turn the phone off and move to another location swiftly. Yup Yup Man would be proud.
The recent drowning deaths made me wonder... ...why doesn't the Army (my branch...others may have other standards) require that recruits learn to swim ?
Don't get me wrong..in the Fort Hood situation it most likely didn't matter. Still, something so basic isn't a required military standard in all the branches ? Odd.

I haven't had one of those since middle school. I fear the wife might be a little more judgie than my Mom.
Tidbit:
Rudy actually played in three plays (the one not shown in the movie was an incomplete pass) in his final game(the only one he dressed) at Notre Dame... ...and Dan Devine (the head coach) is actually credited with the idea to include him on that game day roster (despite what the movie showed).

Is that Khan or Dale's house in the background, Old Top?my lawn
The guy across the street from me busts his hump on his lawn and it looks great. Since he works for the gas company, everyone on the block calls him "Hank". Hank hurt his back in the spring and has had to call in help to mow the lawn. It's killing the guy. They only mow once a week and it's not to his standards. It's got to the point he stands out in the yard and supervises them when they mow, but he still doesn't get around well enough to keep an eye on them as they do the whole half-acre. The last couple of mowing days he's had his Dad over to help him keep watch. When I got in yesterday, he and the old man were lecturing and demonstrating to one of the crew on how to properly clean a push mower. If he makes it through summer without the lawn crew killing him, it will be a miracle.
Old Red Dawn movie = pretty good
Newest one = kind of sucks (if you watched the first one).
By the way, this is a dumb f'n thread.

On Red Dawn, I agree and I agree
Btw I think this thread is funny and entertaining.
I prefer the PB and Helmans mayo sammich. However they are much too fatening to allow yourself to have them often.
Anyone here ever grow your own tomatoes in a planter? I have 4 plants in planters, they are cherry tomatoes.
Any fertilizer suggestions?
I mixed some cow manure with some apple juice like Mark Watney did. Hope that yields good juicy maters.

I have not...but I love a good tomato. I can eat a pint of cherry ones in a single sitting.

Most embarrassing food fact I didn't learn until college....?
Pickles are made from cucumbers....instead of being their own 'thing'.
I flunked planting tomatoes in planter. I have 1 cherry tomatoe plant doing OK, but the other tradtional plants only have 1 tomatoe each. I just don't anyplace around my house that gets enough sun
I'm completely rethinking my loyalty to Miracle Whip. It was my go to mayo (even though it's actually salad dressing) for everything from tuna to tomato sandwiches... ...but earlier today I had an absolutely awesome turkey club and was told that it was topped with Helman's.
Is it possible that my brand loyalty (passed down from my mother) has led me to eat inferior sandwiches for a half-century ? Is it sandwich specific which mayo (or salad dressing) is used... ...and how many wasted test sandwiches before I know for sure?
It's such a complicated world.....

For the love of God.... ...how does that solve my mayo dilemma??
Are you f'n with me?
I guess most people are lucky enough to be in a mayo utopia.

Moving on....
I have a neighbor that I think is trashy...mostly out of ignorance. That's to say I don't think they're lazy or (mostly) intentionally disrespectful but it's to the point that moving has become an option.
Would it be wrong for me to slice 20 or so thousand off the sale of my home to insure that we can pick their new neighbor? ....and yea, profiling would absolutely be used.
And yes, the 20 grand might be worth it.

So I just watched a commercial for the new Independence Day movie and it looks like crap. ....but really the first one did (still does really) too.
I guess Will Smith is a better actor than I thought because he 'made' the first one despite the fact that I thought he couldn't even pull off being an urban African-American in his Fresh Prince days.

Perk of living in Amish/Mennonite area... ....'name brand' (Martin's) extra large eggs still less than a dollar at local grocery stores.
Endless number of fruit/vegetable stands with high quality produce that crush most retail stores in both quality and prices (many are self serve based on the honor system) too.
