  1. Few Fleas found fun flipping freely from Frenchy to Flopsy.
  2. Rust is not an issue with Heavy Metal music.
  3. Nickel silver track in my opinion was always less maintenance than brass track and the consistent oxidation.
  4. Thanks Bob.. made the wife happy so I'm happy. Not being able to accomplish any yard work other than lawn mowing for almost 2 years at my house really put me behind in keeping up with curb appeal. I've got a lot of catching up to do at my house plus I'm trying to keep my late father's house going. I'm thankful I have the time but sure do miss him..
  5. I was finally able to finish a flower garden area that I started approximately 2 years ago at my house before going to live and care for my dad. I had cut down a couple of old dying pines and saved one of the stumps and its topical roots along with various sized rocks to encase the area, which sat with weeds until a week ago. It should look pretty good once everything starts to grow. I still need to sew some grass seed in the grass bare spots and possibly get the neighbors to clean their foundation?
  6. Annoying is that litte nat that relentlessly buzzes your ear no matter how many times you swat it away.
  7. I know that wasn't your intent. I was making an observation of our own mess here..
  8. Violence was once frowned upon, now it's rewarded with no bail walk free BS.. law enforcement has their hands tied with the Idotic calls for defunding them and new niceness tactics adopted to insure the alleged perpetrator(s) don't feel like a criminal..BS.. Also as long as the party division and labeling are continually gaslighted we'll never all get along and that catalyst will naturally happen as it has before. I've never been so disappointed.. call me nieve but I still have hope..
  9. Truth can't be handled by by those who refuse to see both sides of the argument, might as well talk to the family dog.
  10. Two tone suede platform shoes were pretty popular back when I was a disco geek.
  11. Nonsense and gobbley goo is about the extent of what you'll get out of a toddler when they're hard pressed for an explanation of why there's a whole roll of toilet paper stuffed in the Commode.
  12. People who scam old people should be nailed to a cross.
  13. While at the grocery store. Tag says '49, nice dually grocery getter.
  14. I'm in Maryland, both front and back required. I can see where It has it's advantages for law enforcement. I personally never gave it much thought since it's all I've been accustomed to. Just as John stated above some individuals just refuse but in MD. it's just one of many violations that is used as probable cause to pull you over.
  15. Often I'm late to pull the trigger and have to rethink my sentence.
  16. Correctly stated Mr. Bill now on to the next sentence, anyone?
  17. Your Dad sleeping all time is a normal thing with some Dementia patients, my dad did the same, dont fret over it. His food intake dropped dramatically towards the end. The last week of my dad's life he became very mantic and was not within the realm of reality. It was like dealing with an angry child who wouldn't listen to reason because of the damage Dementia had done. If your having doubts weither it's dealing with the mental toll or physical toll on yourself, please talk to someone, it helps to let out the frustrations. I had Hospice come in for routine checkups but I was his sole caregiver for everything. The end days are very trying and can cause you to second guess the medical process of allowing a loved one to pass. My suggestion is to please seek help for your own sanity. If you need or want to just talk your welcome to PM me.. my heart goes out to you... be strong..
  18. Your slots look really good John. I did the HO Aurora slots when I was a lot younger and I still have all those goodies sitting in a box waiting for the light of day again, Someday.. Thanks for sharing and possibly starting a spark of interest again..
  19. Unfortunately there's always a flip side. I lost my mother to an infection that was contracted during open heart surgery 12 years ago at University of Maryland. Thats 99 days from being admitted to being pronounced dead with half her chest cavity surgically removed. They were clearly at fault and there was substantial evidence of such. Top notch hospital that I've personally known individuals to go to and have miracles happen and also others that had minor infections from surgery. We chose not to file a law suit for pretty much the same reasoning as yours. Still kinda pisses me, still miss her, but I make sure when ever I'm asked about that hospital I tell her story and suggest they draw their own conclusions. At the same time my Mom was hospitalized a neighbors brother was struck on his Harley dresser and ended up having emergency surgery on his leg. He also ended up with an infection. He got lucky and it was all cleared up. I'm glad you have a decent outlook on your overall situation. I've learned to let things go and not to hold on to the disappointments or things you can't control. It's just not worth the toll it can take on oneself. Keep on a steady path forward and we'll keep ?...
