    I really like that Holden. The blown kit version is pretty neat too.

    Oh No Mr. Bill! That act would bring you down to her level. I would bag it up for about a month. Put it in a box, wrap it nicely with ribbons and all with a Thank you for being an conscientious neighbor note attached. Inside would be another note that states these belong to you! I thought you'd like them back since you apparently forgot to take them with you. Your welcome! Find her address and set the trap. That might do the job ? or how far does your garden hose shoot? ?

    Same with the mailman at my Dads house, my current temporary location. He's a great guy, very respectful and a retired vet. But at my normally lived at location that mail person is horrible at delivering the mail. At that location we have a cluster box and we are always receiving someone else's mail who's name and address is clearly different, it's a constant thing. So we have to do the job they were hired to do and take that mail to the rightful person.

    Yes preparation is key to one's survival in todays world. I don't have any attack-cats but my "squirrels" are in key positions and fully loaded for anyone who thinks they have the right to attempt any provocation to me or my loved ones ? best think twice..

    I get what your saying but I come from a time when law was respected and individuals took pride in their work and had values as you probably did also.. Those attributes may have all been changed by those in charge but I will not conform to those Bozos and their ideologies as so many has. As for the postal worker.. It would be a cost to you and a real pain in the arse but there is always the P.O. box to get those precious packages. When it comes to restaurants, I won't go back but I make sure the management knows the reason for my departure. No second chances when it comes to my food!

    If this service is a paid for service then I would have to can their butt and find a new provider of that same service. I personally have no problem calling out BS and eliminating it. Not on my dime!

    Today's first pleasing came by way of an offer being accepted for a kit that I normally wouldn't give a second look, 1/32 BZ-38 Reflueller. Thanks to Pat W. and his last cool MiniArt kit purchase by his wife my model kit list of must haves has been expanded. Even though it's not the kit I had originally been looking at I had to have it and it was cheaper than they normally cost. Thanks Pat & the misses.

    Same goes for caulk and wood glue.. Neither intended for the mouth but somehow it manages to get there... Silly fingers..?

    I use the could of been worse train of thought quite a bit and also the bite my tongue method too. Always followed up a few minutes of unwind time to alleviate the stress. ? paint in my eyes.. Nope I never ever had that happen ?? burns at first and makes ya tear up. Oh by BTW it doesn't taste good either.. ? just saying!

    I used to not be.. but now living with my dad and his pal dementia I've learned to deal with many things unimaginable to most with laughter or a more silly side. If not ? life could be miserable or even unbearable. Neither are an option!

    When I first saw your horrifying dilemma my mind went immediately to you could always join the "The Blue Man Group". But I didn't have the heart. I too have ruined a pair of two of prescription glasses from either walking into the mist or from the splashed droplets that occurred while pouring lacquer into the cup on my spray gun at work. Never anything to your level of coverage though. Try waxing? Maybe some of the non chemical strippers used on models? If the glasses are trash what's to lose?

    Oh.. I like that thought! I'll have to use that one on my wife the next time she barks about me buying another kit! ?

    You sparked an interest that I had to check out. Miniart carries some pretty neat vehicles. I especially like the tow truck, 3-wheeled Tempo A400 and the cheese delivery truck. Lots of parts, photo etching and large assortment of decals. Looks like my list of must haves just grew a few.. Thanks for the insight Pat.. ?

    I wonder if the Village Accessories that comes in the kit are the items illustrated in the bed? Neat truck but it looks like she's blowing a little smoke..
  15. A modeler named mike
    Nice grab. I don't remember the firdbird kit, kinda neat except for oversized rear spoiler.
  16. A modeler named mike
    Yeah me too Carl.. Especially since its a gift. I'm glade I didn't have to buy a second kit to replace this one. Luck was on my side that day.
  17. A modeler named mike
    Just I out of 173 kits from eBay shipped USPS not bad odds. Especially since the kit wasn't damaged.
  18. A modeler named mike
    In the mailbox today. I was very shocked when I saw the box. It looked as if it had been crushed or took a good hit. Thankfully the kit wasn't compromised, not even a dent since It's a gift for my Dads mechanic who owns a '69 GTO.

    The past couple of days these two kit purchases showed up in the mail. The Firebird kit reminds me of a firebird redneck style, sorta like AMT Yankee Challenge kit. As for the Eldon. I had built one when they came out in '69. All I have left of that build is the engine with its golden pipes, the toilet seat and one tub that I cut and used as rubbish in a display scene which I named Garbeach for the garbage truck.

    Some of our grocery stores offer stamps at the cash register. Way more convenient than the dreaded post office visit.

    Awesome attitude Carl.. Keep the faith strong and enjoy everyday as it arises. I lost my mom 11 1/2 years ago. I'm 63 and I miss my mom everyday. But some day I will see her again. Guaranteed!! I believe you and the misses will do the same with your moms. ?

    It all sound so good! You can't beat southern cooking.. Last year my future son-in-law to be smoked a brisket instead of the traditional Turkey. Very tasty..not sure what's on the menu this year. But whatever it is I'm there with my belt loosened and mouth wide open.

    I had to look up bisto and hobnobs because I hadn't heard that term before. I guess they were a bit Miffed.. Lol definitely not what they were expecting. If you ever want to try the American gravy for biscuits.. Two tablespoons of bacon or sausage grease heated in a iron skillet with two tablespoons of flour. Mix well and slowly add and stir in two cups of milk until its at the consistency that you prefer. As for the biscuits.. Don't use the hobnobs. ?

    Yeah I'd like to know why Pillsbury doesn't make their original biscuits in a can anymore? Instead they come in a bag in the freezer section as TJ stated above. They do not have the exact same taste. I used the canned ones to make gravy and biscuits but the frozen bagged ones are not quite the same. So now I buy the Crescent rolls and reshape them into round biscuits. Taste the same as the original canned ones. We still have leftovers from our Thanksgiving day meal from my daughters dinner and yesterday we had a second but belated Thanksgiving day meal at my Aunts. She had a dish I hadn't had before that was pretty good, cracker gravy.. ? Don't worry Bill that you're out of Turkey and all the goodies that go along, It won't be long and you'll be having it again. That is unless you cook up another meat at Christmas.

    Sad that it has become that way. Not with just that topic. Know the truth, stand your grounds and stick to your Morales.
