Dam Goat Head Stickers is bad in Texas, especially West Texas. We got a Hotel Room one night in Austin and some Peckerhead had pulled off a bunch of Goat Head Stickers and they was all in the carpet. I found them by stepping on the dang things. I pulled a couple dozen out of the carpet with my...

No, I earned the gray hair. When I was working offshore at Mobile Bay back in the latter 90's, one of the men who was in his early 40's and had Salt/Pepper hair. Well one day after days off when he came back Offshore his hair was Jet Shiny Black. He was laughed at and made fun of for awhile -...

I am just a couple chapters into the follow on book from Eugene Sledges son, Henry, on Eugene Sledges book on WW2 - With The Old Breed. Henry had access to the original 800 + pages of the original manuscript for The Old Breed. The book from his son has excerpts from the original manuscripts in...

I am glad that Grampa Don started this thread. ms gamboolgal and I have them somewhere. Our Daughter read some of the ones I wrote to her Mother when we were dating and after we had married. To say that I was under ms gamboolgals spell is an understatement - ha ! While it was abit...

Most every morning I have a hankering for good Breakfast Taco's with some Hot Sauce and Jalepeno's. But I usually eat the plate of Rabbit Food that ms gamboolgal has prepared for me - it is healthy for sure. I don't do much in the Kitchen, but making our own Breakfast Taco's is something I...

The Blackberry I will try to tell this best I can. Warning as a Grandbaby story follows.... ha ! Our little 21 month old Granddaughter, Mercy, melted my Heart this evening. We keep her 3 or 4 days per week as her Mom (our daughter) is a single Mother and worked as a Paramedic at a Hospital –...

I grew up like Leave It To Beaver living in Mayberry. I had it easy compared to so many of the Posts herein. I guess my folks was middle class and I did not have the hard times and adversity so many others did. I am very thankful for that. However on both sides of the family - they all came...

Sorry for your troubles Frio. ms gamboolgal and I are going on 44 year married and have been pretty well inseparable for near to 47 year. I cannot imagine how I would be if I was to lose her. Some good suggestions in this thread, e.g., maybe a pet? All the best

Warning: Long rambling somewhat incoherent post follows. Well, ms gamboolgal rolls her eyes at me for this while shaking her head, but what the Hell - it's the internet. Actually, she puts up with alot of things I do - Thank God :) It's OK for yawl to tell me I'm not the sharpest knife in...

America is not a 3rd world country. ms gamboolgal and I lived and worked in West Africa for almost 20 year while I worked for megaoil corp before retiring. We lived in the places no one goes to vacation at. The poverty and corruption was just sad - folks have no idea what goes on. So many...
