only 2 of those things i didn't have interaction with, the delivered milk and the party phone line. still have about 500 45 rpm records, still play 8 tracks and have worked on a couple studebakers.
still have my metal black lunch box that was recovered from a dump back when i was a kid for me to carry lunch in, and i have my grandfathers as well.
didn't need roller skate keys but remember them
it wasn't called home ec when i took it but it was the same thing, we were shown how to use a stove, how to fill out a check to pay for something and so on.
i vaguely remember the movie "Hawmps" at the drive in as a kid, a calvary using camels, that's about all i remember.
so much of it has went away and no really good reason for it to.
I ❤️ TITTIES & BEER
What in the world is wrong with this country OR WORLD that parents allow this?
I never had children BUT IF I HAD….. I probably would not allow that type of shirt at 16. My philosophy is that you can wear what you want when 1) you pay for it out of your own pocket AND 2) when you are no longer living under my roof.

"Women vs Men Closing Car Doors"
only registered users can see external links
She doesn't have a drivers license, but a personal chauffeur, me.
She even picked it out for me. I was looking for a car on only registered users can see external links,
but couldn't find 2 specific brand/types/vintage/model on the top of my list.
Then she found one a little bit lower on my list, in red metallic with a sports pack on it. She urged me to go look at it. I liked the look of it, the ride was nothing exciting,
but acceptable, it's full of extra's that would have made the other cars very expensive,
so I made a deal and bought it.
She's fond of the car. Still, she lets the tailgate just drop, while I guide it down.
She slams the doors, and she always lets the seat belt hang down and backwards.
I don't know what it is. However, if I see how she mistreats her bike, while she also
lets someone fix it every time it breaks, it must be some disability to care about things,
or something like that.
I always fix the seat belts, every time someone used any of them. It's not just women.
I just accept the door-slamming now. I just accepted the car as transport, instead of 'treasure'. Five years ago, I was in a pile-up. I hit the brake in full ABS, but it was so wet that I still hit the car in front of me at about 10 mph. The back was hit even harder by the person behind me. Their insurance paid for the damage to the back, and my insurance paid for the car in front of me. I have all-risk insurance, so it paid for my front damage too, but I lost some claim-free years and my maximum no-claim discount. The damage was fixed perfectly, but the metallic shine is off a bit. That bugged me for a while. I had to relinquish some love for the car to accept it.
A few years back, I still paid money to fix some scratches, but I stopped doing that. There's a crack in the back bumper, that would probably cost several hundred dollars
to fix, but I just said "fuck it!". As long as nothing is at risk of falling off, I just let it deteriorate. Maybe someone hits the back again, and then I can have it fixed
on their insurance.
A hundred years ago, my parents purchased my clothing, my shoes, etc. They expected my sisters and I to take care our things, to come home from school, change from our “school clothes” and into our “play clothes”. The school clothes were properly hung on hangers, folded up and put away in the chest of drawers, etc. But if we tore up our school clothes or shoes, we knew mom and dad would replace them with new.
Fast forward to my early 20’s, I’m working and indecently living outside of my parents home and I have to buy my own clothes and shoes. I am glad that my parents taught me to respect my possessions and take care of them properly. I realize money does not grow on trees and how many hours I must work to afford that “must have” purse I desperately want.
Perhaps I’m generalizing too much and I don’t want to pigeon hole every renter however I do not feel that all renters respect the home and property that they rent. The home is not theirs, when they want to move on they do so and they may leave you, the homeowner, with a mess.
Getting back to your car and your girlfriend, my guess is that if she invested her 30k (plus) to purchase an automobile, she would treat it more respectfully. My guess is that most people are not in a position of replacing their cars every year and attempt to take care of it so that the car can provide reliable service until it is paid off and possibly beyond.
But why would that be more applicable to me, that to my girlfriend?
We have a shared pool of money that we both work for. Her job is tougher than mine.
We spent the same money for the car as for her bike. She feels less bothered when spending money than me though. I'm pretty frugal. It's mostly my girlfriend who tells me when we need to spend money on something. However, she knows that if we spend money on one thing, the list of expenses is not getting additions for a while.
I paid $17.500 for the car. I never took out a loan for a car though.
I only borrowed $3000 from my parents for a car once, when I bough the car
before my current one, but I paid them back in 3 months.
I have driven all my cars to "beyond economical repair".
The first one was an absolute death trap, when I drove it to the junkyard.
It was one brisk braking action removed from the front wheels breaking off.
The cars after, still had some trade-in value left.
A hundred years ago (when I was 23) I bought my first house. I was so excited, I bought new furniture for what we call the living room (some call it a lounge and now these rooms are located more toward the back of the house and they’re supersized and called “family room”). Anyway, I had a female roommate who would dig her feet into my brand new sofa/couch. My mother NEVER allowed us to put our feet in the furniture so when Nancy did this, I had a problem with it. That coupled with she would could in one of my nonstick pans and rather than dirty a plate that she would have to wash she would eat out of the pan. There were cut marks and scratches, you can imagine. She would pack her lunch and take my utensils, knives, forks, spoons, as needed and sometimes they never made it back home. My guess is that because she did not dig into her pockets and pay for these things, she was not aware of the cost. I only had a roommate for 4 months and I told Nancy that she needed to find a new place……

“ Fifty people awaken in a darkened room, arranged in two concentric circles around a black dome. When they attempt to move from their designated platforms or touch the others, alarms sound off. When someone ignores the warning and leaves formation, a beam from the dome kills them, and their body is quickly removed. As the others panic, a man attempts to calm them, but the device kills him mid-sentence. Thereafter, every two minutes, another person is killed. After several people die, the group realizes that the room's technology allows them to use hand gestures to vote for who dies, while arrows on the floor show each person their own vote but not others'. They attempt to boycott the vote, but someone is randomly selected to die after two minutes.
Following a college student's suggestion, the group buys time to think by deciding in advance to eliminate the elderly for the next selections. The captives discuss where they are, how they got there, who has abducted them, and why. A young man, Eric, remembers attempting to flee Los Angeles, and others concur. Eric says that he was pulled into the air, later waking in a red room with other humans. The old man next in line agrees, saying he saw and heard aliens. The disbelieving group eliminates him instead of listening.
After the college student aggressively targets a 52-year-old cancer survivor over the objections of people who do not consider her elderly, he is eliminated. Several people say they recognize the others: a man identifies the woman next to him as his wife, another man identifies the doctor he was having an affair with, and a tattooed man is eliminated after he admits to a cop's accusation of domestic violence. After several minorities are quickly eliminated, an African-American man claims the process has become racist. Several others dispute this, but when the cop goes on a racist rant, he is selected next.
The captives experiment with voting, find they cannot vote for themselves, and attempt to give one vote to every person in the circle. One man gives a second vote for a pregnant woman, so Eric votes for him; this causes a tie and the man is killed in a run-off vote. After several take their own lives by leaving formation to buy the others time, an atheist antagonizes the theists who praised the volunteers' faith. The atheist is briefly saved, but when he mocks the girl beside him for having her boss pay for her breast enlargement, he is killed. A homophobic lawyer targets a lesbian, and he is killed as a result. The group realizes that one of the final two people left must not vote (and be killed) to render a winner.
The group creates a schism. One bloc (led by Eric, a Marine, a one-armed man) believes that everyone should sacrifice themselves to save a pregnant woman and a little girl, while the other bloc (led by a bearded man and a banker) wants to eliminate them immediately as a threat to their survival, as they believe everyone is equal and no special privileges should be afforded. After eliminating a Spanish translator, a Hispanic immigrant and the little girl tie, resulting in him sacrificing his own life. The husband is forced to vote with Eric's bloc when they threaten to eliminate his wife, but, under interrogation, the couple admit that they concocted the relationship to curry favor, resulting in the "husband's" elimination.
Eric's faction incurs heavy losses after a six-way tie but eliminates the other faction, leaving only Eric, the pregnant woman, the girl, and a silent man who has never voted. Eric theorizes that aliens have used the process to learn about humanity's values. After the silent man is eliminated, Eric and the girl agree to simultaneously sacrifice themselves. As the girl dies by suicide, Eric instead casts a last-second vote to kill the pregnant woman, only to realize that the pregnant woman's unborn child counts as a person. Eric votes to kill the child and then wakes up in Los Angeles where he joins a group of people, composed primarily of children and pregnant women, watching a fleet of alien crafts float over Los Angeles.”

See below. I DID NOT understand the joke. mr_blue presented his spin and I still have no admit that I’m confused and saying “what if”…
Boy, that person was out to win, no matter what. It was pretty shocking to me that he could backstab like that but it's allowed in the game and being devious sure is part of human nature. The last scene...maybe those people standing and looking were other winners of other games (if "games" would be the right word) and simply wondering what the aliens were going to do next. Why they're not quickly walking away looking for a place to hide, I don't know. I like the red and black colors theme of the alien stuff.

and i know the younger generation will disagree but trucks no longer drive like trucks, in the old days, you shifted gears, the load slowed you down, you never forgot what you were doing . now, trucks drive like hondas ,have lots of power so the average load is not even felt while driving, the trans is automatic, freeing up the right hand to hold phones, dicks,whatever.

old ,outdated, but still funny
Okay, okay……. Yesterday was a long day for me, I was up and out of bed at 7a and didn’t get home until shortly after 11p, so it was a 16 hour day of rippin’ and runnin’ mainly in the water and sun. I’m in bed just before midnight and I’ve got my phone, reading a few emails and watched a few things on YouTube. This morning I wake up and my phone is in bed with me and stuck/frozen on
YouTube content that I have listened to HOWEVER now the guy is speaking in Spanish. My guess is that sometime during my sleep, I mashed something somewhere and this IPhone is capable of changing the language of the YouTube content.
Has anyone experienced this issue, do you know how to change it back to English?
One thing I did learn at my iPhone class, when I bought the phone in March in Fort Myers, I was looking at an iPhone 16 and the Xfinity store sold me an iPhone 15. That day on my drive home, I called Xfinity and apparently iPhone has a new release launching somewhere between September 7 through the 21st and they will take back this phone and credit me with the full amount against the purchase of the new version. I asked the Xfinity rep that I spoke with what the “new features” are and although most of it sounded like “blah, blah, blah”, she said something about the newer phone wouldn’t get so hot. That is one of the things that I have noticed about this phone, it gets hot super fast when I’m playing games.

I’m certain there’s a reason why he comes and goes so much. None of his past friends have changed their screen name so IF he wants anyone to know if he’s here and who he is, he will so. Allow him the opportunity to make that contact and allow him that anonymity until then. That’s just my opinion though, my guess is that members will do what they want.
Seems that you have a “delayed reaction” about what you notice. When Jamie, member #693639 deleted his profile, you lost your verification status and when I noticed that, I became the third member and your green tick was restored.
That brings me to Jamie. I don't spend a lot of time on site. I seldom notice things like verification or who touches my heart and I didn't notice I was no longer verified. That's when I thought of Jamie and I asked in your thread about him.
Personally, I don't care what you think or don't think. Jamie and I have reconnected and exchanged friendships. I didn't even asked him to verify me again. I like Jamie and always will. He's a good guy and for that, only, he's worth knowing.

Oh, BTW, I would prefer you withdrew your verification. I prefer friends to do so. Thank you.

edit,ok i skipped wimpy google and went to Elon, here is what i learned
what does the word argue mean
The word argue means to present reasons or evidence to support or oppose an idea, opinion, or point of view, often in a discussion or debate. It can also refer to a verbal disagreement or dispute, typically involving differing perspectives.
For example:
Discussing or debating: "She argued that renewable energy is essential for sustainability."
Disputing or quarreling: "They argued over who should pay the bill."
The tone and intensity can vary, from calm reasoning to heated confrontation, depending on the context.
Yes, I'm being petty and ungrateful. Deal with it.
Never look for me. It was me that look for her.

If it's even real. I found another video with that guy in it doing his thing but a variation on it, and it's so outrageous, I'm wondering if the videos are even real occurrences or if it's all fake.
only registered users can see external links
Regarding the two short videos you found, it’s difficult to believe that they’re for real but I wait for the “haha fooled you” moment at the end and it doesn’t happen. I’ve never lived in a neighborhood or community that was governed by an HOA so I really have no idea whether they are run with unreasonable rules. Seriously, why would an HOA need a key to my house because that is unreasonable! And for what reason would an HOA member pay a visit to me at 11:30p unless it was because of a loud party going on in my backyard?
In the event there is/are houses for sale in an HOA community, I have to wonder whether prospective buyers are given a copy of their bylaws to determine IF they want to comply with and live by the existing rules.
By the way, it’s nice to see that there are members that have something other than AMERICAN POLITICS on their mind. Please don’t stay away so long, it’s really good to see you again!

1 thing people don't realize is the age of the egg makes a difference in it's ease of peeling. i get yard fresh eggs, as in right out of the nest sometimes and if you fry them, no big deal. but if you boil them, they are hard as hell to peel. but if the egg has been in the fridge a week or so, it peels easier. why/? i have no idea.

It’s been 4.5 months and I still HATE this damn phone! Yes, “I sucked it up, buttercup” and made that call today. Hopefully when I finished with the 1 hour class I won’t still want to stomp the hell outta this damn device. Already I’m getting the heebie jeebies thinking about this class meaning; will it be conducted by a real person who can answer my specific questions (if I have questions) OR will it be more like a beginner’s training type video?

Ok I got one for ya, I have a box in my closet with newspapers from when Kennedy was shot and first man on the moon etc…
My mother had what we called “the cedar chest” filled with things that were meaningful to her. There were baptismal outfits, my father’s wool blanket, a blanket that he was issued during his time as a Marine and yes, there were entire newspapers kept about moon landings and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And buried a bit deeper was an article written and featured in the Detroit Free Press about her father, my grandfather being brutally shot during a hold up at his SALOON in Detroit. My sister is the caretaker of that cedar chest filled with family memories and historical happenings.
show them the diary's of civil war soldiers so they can read for themselves for example.

I kinda wonder whether you watched the short video. Apparently the “Undercover Boss” came through and terminated employment of the worker, WHY?, because he failed to offer assistance to Mr. Undercover Boss. When the heck has anyone been in a Walmart when associates approach the shopper to offer help and assistance?
i am never offered any help in walmart . most of the time it is difficult to find. and i let them know if i encounter the manager that i would spend more money there if the employees would help me as in answer questions.
you go to look at a computer, the person in that department, just stocks shelves and has no idea about any specs or anything. if you can't help yourself,you are just screwed
Is Walmart able to provide services for watches ie battery replacement, install new straps(heck, does Walmart even sell watch straps?) So when we get to Walmart no straps only new watches and ALL of the watches are under lock and key. As I recall, the majority of the watches were priced from $9.95 to $39.95 and yes, there were a few more that were higher priced than $39.95. There’s no sales associate manning the counter so it’s a matter of finding someone. That someone (found in nearby clothing area) comes by but realizes that he doesn’t have the proper key. Anyway…. the only point of this story was to convey that Walmart does NOT have enough staff to provide the level of service often found in major department stores AS WELL AS perhaps Walmart does not attract the level of people that are geared toward providing high level (heck, any level) of customer service satisfaction.
