In the 60's, my Mom had my Dad buy her a strange art deco style sofa and two chairs. One low back, and one high back. With a matching dark wood coffee table, that had a second table that would pivet out from underneath. The sofa was rather low, and was not flat. Kind of like a bucket seat. It was very long, but…

Asy a person to draw a men’s bicycle, and you will get some strange things.

Can't agree more about the sleep mask. My wife has always been a night owl. I have to get up early. So I wear a mask, while she watches TV with earplugs or reads. 

Ok. I will say that at the time of him taking office then. I’m sure the economy going into a recession at that time was not totally caused by that. I’m not an economist. All I can see is what happened. And no, it is not a stupid statement to say that people in a hard time decide not to spend extra money on a desire,…

Maybe yours. Not mine. I’m old. Mine gets smaller every year.

You know that BIG, LONG list of don't do's on the side of a ladder? Every single one of them is from some law suit by someone that did a stupid thing on a ladder.

That Mr. Ismail did not proof read it, and he has not checked any of the comments this weekend?

Yes, semi-pro cameras did have some effect. But it happened much faster than that. Before he was elected, my boss shot 15 to 20 sessions a week. As soon as he took office, that fell to about 3 to 5 sessions a week. Not gradually. Just all at once. Every other photographer in the area that I have talked to saw the same…

I wouldn't thank Obama for anything!

That is exactly what I figured, about 7 years ago. My boss had cut my hours to 30 hour a week a year or so ago (say what you want about why, but the entire portrait photo industry died when Obama took office. Everyone was afraid to spend unnecessary money). He now needed to cut it to 20. So I did some math on the 64…

Not really a great place to view them, but I saw them once in the 80's here in SW MO.

I just don't understand why men do this. I've been trimmed down there for surgeries. It itches something awful!

I love mushrooms and onions in my omelette. But it’s too much trouble to cook just enough for one. And my wife hates the smell. So, about twice a year, I’ll cook a pound of chopped mushrooms and chopped onions in my big cast iron skillet on the outside grill. Then spread then on sheets of parchment paper sized to fit…

I discovered awhile back that you can get quite a bit of the coffee buildup out of the lid by using the sprayer hose at the kitchen sink. Use hot water and just kinda wrap your hand around it, so the water doesn’t splash everything (including you) within a 3 foot area.

Oh! I love Stanley’s stuff. We use the tall 20 oz ones. Used to use Contigo mugs. But Stanley’s are so much better. Also cheaper. And the lids are much easier to clean. Coffee stays drinkably hot for a good 5 hours. Cold drink with ice will still have ice 8 hours later. Even if it is left in a hot car.

“I doubt anyone who has ever cleaned a bathroom used by men would need scientific proof of the mess that standing creates,”

What kind of records are they keeping? A ledger sheet? Seems like any simple computer program could keep track of your inventory. How many cars does a typical rental company have to keep track of anyway? Less than 500 I would imagine.

Ripe bananas. That’s another story. I read once, that bananas are the only fruit people eat before it is ripe.

I used to have a boss that was married to a lady of Mexican decent from southern California. We are in SW Missouri. Her family would regularly send them boxes of tree ripened avacados. One day the UPS guy brought a box of them to their door, that had been lost in transit for about 3 weeks. I don't want to think about…

I’ve know for years that the world was going to end. I read on a blog that it's going to happen next week. But I can stop it. I've just gotta send this Saudi prince $500.
