  1. Gift given in pounds could be currency from the united kingdom or even raw meat, either would be fine with this penny pincher.
  2. Children in many cultures help their families by performing any job that will allow them to work. ( Back on track?)
  3. Holiday closure of Schools should make many homes filled with excitement for those who have little ones, and to clarify I mean children.
  4. Beautiful women are no comparison to beautifully painted and skillfully built examples of automotive miniatures on a display table if you're a young lad with a slingshot hanging out your back pocket and baseball cards clothes pinned to your bicycle rims.
  5. Littluns wearing loaded diapers can be a handful to change and yes you can quickly become a poo fighter wearing splattered residue and be quite stinky.
  6. Bedroom is an okay place to store a styrene collection, but I'd be weary of the attic unless it's climate controlled and has been cleared of any goblins, spooks and evil spirits that may be lingering.
  7. From what I've read about squirrels, they have excellent vision with the exception of directly in front at close range. Unlike humans squirrels have two types of functioning photoreceptors, called cone cells, in the eyes. Organisms with dichromacy are called dichromats. Dichromats require only two primary colors to be able to represent their visible gamut. dichromatic colour vision that is mediated by green and blue cones.
  8. Good save Tony, gotta keep it going even if there's no styrene involved..🤔°° Although years ago I remember we had a plastic squirrel mounted on I think a piece of wood. It had some type of gray flocking to simulate the fur. I would love to know who manufactured it. Back to real Squirrels, I still have anywhere from 2 to 10 that visit daily. More of them will now take a nut from me via pinched fingers but some are still leery so those get unsalted shelled peanuts. The ones who except the nuts via hand gets unshelled pecans and walnuts. Any scraps leftover are devoured by the birds. As for my little chipmunk buddy, I'm in hopes that he hibernated early and not became a statistic. He went MIA early in the season...🤞
  9. Years ago I purchased a 1980 AMC spirit from the AMC dealership, which was a sporty looking car but had little power so I slapped on a pair of L 50's mounted on 15" cragar rims and added hi-jacker air shocks making it look more race worthy but still it moved like a slug.
  10. South town is where Santa had to go to find Jingle, Jangle, and Vixen who were trying to find the Christmas spirit.
  11. Wow.. about 4 years ago we had a 2002 oldsmobile alero that had ridiculously low mileage. One day going to lunch I noticed that the brake pedal was feeling like it was low on brake fluid. I checked the reservoir and sure enough it was low. Stopped at Walmart, bought brake fluid, topped off the reservoir and headed back to work, approximately 1/2 mile. As I pulled onto works parking lot the brake pedal was spongy again. Popped the hood and dang the reservoir was low already. I know I had a big problem. I carefully drove it to my mechanic which is at the adjacent lot of where I worked. I was told the brake lines had deteriorated as was the gas line due to the wonderful salt brine that Maryland sprays on our roads before a wintery mix. The $h¡+ clings to the undercarriage and destoying the metal. The grand total to repair the damage was more than the book value of the car. Since the car had other ongoing issues we decided to just retire it. What's sad is that to fix your damage Is about the same as having my 4 teeth pulled by the oral surgeon, which I still yet to do..
  12. Aliens we have, spaceships maybe, if the Roswell story has merit.
  13. While out today. 69? I think..very clean and Sounded healthy.
