Not sure if I should post this here or in Days Gone By. Today I was laying across the bed with my iPad playing Elvis songs on UTube. It brought back a lot of old memories to say the least. I love music, always have. Many genres. However, when I was a teen, I remember listening to staticky AM...

I have one sister a couple years older than me and two brothers. My sister and I used to look alike and dress similarly when we were growing up. When in our teens, I was often mistaken for her. She told me to wave back to any of her friends that waved to me so that people didn't think she was...

I have had a number of experiences over the years. This is one that happened quite a few years back. I pulled into the parking lot at a shopping center and at the same time, a car pulled up next to mine. As I was getting out of my car, I recognized a woman I worked with. We briefly...

I listen to Pandora a lot during the day while I'm busy. Have listened to a lot of stations but came across Patsy Cline Radio today and really enjoying it. It's a mixture of Old Country and Old Pop 50's & 60's (early). It's great, been singing all day, haha. If you listen to Pandora search for...

For the past 15+ years, my cholesterol levels have fluctuated and I have been prescribed at least four different medications to bring it down. Just went today for a blood drawl, so I am concerned that if it is high, my doc will try to prescribe again. My concern is this-- I always have had side...

It seems we have a birthday to celebrate. Happy birthday Gdad!!

This happened last Sunday, the day I normally pay bills and run to the post office during off hours to mail them. Our PO has limited parking so when it is closed, they have a large box outside for outgoing mail. I jumped out and quickly deposited my mail in the box. When I turned around, a young...

Wishing all of our US Marine Corps a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank-you for all you have done for our country and for the sacrifices you are making today and everyday.

I thought the CMA awards (50th anniversary) show was rather interesting last night. Although there seemed to be a few well-known absentees, they did have some old-timers and did a lot to recognize their contributions to country music. Thought the show was particularly well done this year. Garth...

Someone among us is another year older--HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPYTIME! Have a great day!

I think in the past, this is fairly normal. Why not skip the middleman (us) and pay themselves directly. Surely, that will save some paperwork or as in today, less time and money spent on the computer.

How do they do it, each and every fall? Those little noisy crickets, is there a tiny door I am unaware of? Every fall, one or two of them guys find their way inside. Try to find them! You can not easily track them, even when they chirp. I saw one but he was fast and hopped away before I could...

We cannot compete with cheap labor from foreign countries without tariffs to make our own products competitive. GATT now WTO, have reduced or eliminated tariffs. As far back as the late 70's, Japaneese began dumping steel here, eventually leading to the closing of steel plants and related...

Heard something on the news that kind of broke my heart. There is a local school district that had to refuse a child a hot lunch because he owed $25 in lunch money. They said the school district has to collect thousands of dollars from parents owing for unpaid lunches. Sad, isn't it? I have to...

What do you think about these reality shows of the past several years? I don't refer to the talent shows as they have a certain amount of entertainment value. I just can't understand the ones with couples-who gets kicked off the show or the island, what ever. Does anyone watch these shows? I...
