When I worked at the city produce market in the '80s, there was a old guy who came around all the time in a broken down old truck selling all sorts of odds and ends. His nickname on the street was Mr Haney. :)

tell them I was taught to drive by a little old lady. :)

She bought her jalope from Junior Samples Used Car Lot (the number
is BR 549)...and she drove it between her home and the schoolhouse. <G>

My first car, a four door 1953 Chevy Bel Air, I bought in 1968, had been owned by a little old lady, literally.
That was a great car, like new. And had all the extra's for 1953: PS, PB, automatic transmission (with R below L and no P). It also has fender skirts (which were a pain to put back after changing a flat).
Speaking of Green Acres I swiped the line Lisa used regarding PRNDL and call it "prindle". :)

And I still have $28 (just counted) of that $60+ cheque in May.

For so many, money "burns a hole in their pocket". :P

My father, who grew up poor, believed money was to spend and he spent it all
the time. As soon as he made it he spent it. On the family, himself, others.
He thought nothing of spending it on whatever caught his eye. (I don't think much of spending money either, but in the opposite way).
Any new gizmo that came along he was like a kid and wanted it.
When home movie cameras came long he had to have one, along with the projector, screen, etc. (I still have the camera and projector and reels of home movies I really should get converted to disk, if they are still good).
When the Polaroid camera came out he brought one. He had an option to buy stock, $1 a share, and didn't, saying it was a fad.
When a neighbour bought the first tv in town, he had to have one to and we had the second set in town, 1948. Never mind there was no television here at the time, that was still months in the future. Neighbours were over all the time to stare the Indian head test pattern.
If he lived longer he would have had the first calculator, the first PC, etc.

I also always carry some hidden cash in my wallet.

If it's hidden, how can you see it?? <g,d,r>

By feel.

Depends on what my schedule might be once school starts up again

next mon

To quote the Andy Williams song in the Staples commercial, "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"!! <BG>

I loved that commercial and think it was one the best ones ever done. The mother all happy the kids were going back to school and happily buying school stuff. The kids? Not so much, looking like they had lost their best friend. :)

I remember the story about the Plymouth automobile that had a Push-Button Automatic Transmission.

A man had just drove his new Plymouth out of the Plymouth Dealer's Lot and
was waiting at a Traffic Light when another driver alongside hollered
"do You want to Drag?".

The Plymouth driver pressed the "L" button (for LEAP), and when the light changed to Green both cars started down the road.

The other driver was slightly ahead of the Plymouth so the "D" button
(for DRAG) was pressed.

The Plymouth got ahead of the other car for awhile, but the other car was getting closer to the Plymouth, so the "R" button (for RACE) got pressed.

It was a long time before the driver of the Plymouth awoke and he started wondering what had happened.

My Dad bought a Polaroid camera (in 1953?).

When a neighbour bought the first tv in town, he had to have one to
and we had the second set in town, 1948. Never mind there was no television here at the time, that was still months in the future.

The first TV Station in Louisville, Kentucky [WAVE-TV] began transmitting programs on Thanksgiving Day, 1948.

I was in the 2nd Grade of Elementary School when I saw a TV Show.
The TV Set was at a Beer Joint, the owner had mounted the TV Set near the ceiling, in a corner of the Bar.

From about 6 P.M. to 9 P.M.(?) People all around my neighborhood came to
watch TV Shows there.

A Year or so later another Kid told me there was a TV Set in a nearby home.
We walked up to the house and looked through the window and saw the TV Set (which wasn't ON) had a very small screen compared to the one at the Bar.

When a Friend told me his family got a TV, Me and My Brothers and some other Kids were at that house every evening watching the TV.

Neighbours were over all the time to stare the Indian head test
pattern.

Our first TV Set was a B&W Philco with a 12" Tube in it.

And I remember coming home from School after 2 P.M. and seeing the Indian
Head Test Pattern on the screen, but near the bottom of that picture WAVE-TV had the News printed on Ticker Tape scroling from Right to Left until they started playing the Shows.

I remember watching "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" and "Captain Video".

Chrysler Corp was the first with a push button transmission in the mid-50s then Ford had it, then Nash and I think someone else. But 10 years later it was gone, for the most part. I don't think GM ever did.
My father brought a new '58 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser (it was huge, you could raise a family in it) with push button transmission that gave him all sorts of problems. I think that car spent more time in the dealers garage than ours. After two years he was tired of fooling with it and got a Chevy.

The first TV Station in Louisville, Kentucky [WAVE-TV] began transmitting programs on Thanksgiving Day, 1948.

WSAZ, then channel 5, now 3, went on the air in October 1949. They had planned on going on the air in 1947 or '48 but the FCC, in their infinite wisdom, held up a lot of broadcast licenses nation wide because so many places wanted them. Sometimes it was several years between issuing licenses around the country.
And WSAZ was powerful, there were reports it reached as far a Havana, Cuba.
Not a very good picture and needed powerful antennas. Rabbit ears wouldn't do it.

I was in the 2nd Grade of Elementary School when I saw a TV Show.
The TV Set was at a Beer Joint, the owner had mounted the TV Set near the ceiling, in a corner of the Bar.

I recall seeing colour tv for the first time c. 1957/58 when my folks and I went too a cousin in the Detroit area.
That was also in a bar.
One had to pass through a bar to the family dining area and a colour set was on a wall. I remember Perry Como was on, wearing a red sweater, sitting on a stool, singing "Letters, I get letters" as letters and postcards floated down around him.
Naturally I started begging and whining and doing other kid things to try and convince my parents to buy one.
Didn't work.
(Side story. When a little kid in the supermarket something would catch my eye and my mother simply had to buy whatever it was and I would throw a fit, laying on my stomach, kicking my feet, crying, etc. She would just calmly walk
away pretending she had no idea who that brat was. After a minute I would look
around and she was nowhere in sight and I felt like a fool with people looking at me. I think if more parents did that today kids would grow up a bit faster).

Our first TV Set was a B&W Philco with a 12" Tube in it.

I don't know what our first one was, but a table model with a tiny screen I was told.
The one I do remember was brought in 1951, an RCA console with a HUGE 12 inch
round screen. We had that one for over 10 years.

I remember watching "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" and "Captain Video".

KFO was one my favourite shows.
As a little kid I was a bit confused (no cracks Daryl!, "was"? I can hear you
asking now) about time and distance. I believed everything on tv was live (a lot of it was) and it happened right here and how could it be daylight on a tv show and dark out and dark when it was daylight?

JM>>> .. I also always carry some hidden cash in my wallet.

Joe,

When I worked at the city produce market in the '80s, there was a old guy
who came around all the time in a broken down old truck selling all sorts of JM>odds and ends. His nickname on the street was Mr Haney. :)

And, he always preferred to work with Mr. Douglas (Eddie Albert), as
she (Eva Gabor) would always "jew him down". <G>

Speaking of Green Acres I swiped the line Lisa used regarding PRNDL and ca
it "prindle". :)

There is literally a business in North Little Rock (in a former
Hardee's Restaurant, across from North Little Rock High School), noting
"Law Offices Of Lisa Douglas". I heard a rumor that there's a picture of
Oliver on the wall. <BG>

My father, who grew up poor, believed money was to spend and he spent it
the time. As soon as he made it he spent it. On the family, himself, other

My parents and grandparents, growing up during the depression and lean
times, guarded every cent they owned, and spent them very carefully.

The study in contrast, though...is a cartoon I saw, describing an
amateur radio operator (insert your favorite hobby). When they are
buying food, clothes, etc., they are very much "tightwad cheapskates",
spending only the very minimum necessary. But, when it comes to a
hamfest (insert your favorite hobby meeting here), they seemingly have
money to burn!!

When home movie cameras came long he had to have one, along with the
projector, screen, etc. (I still have the camera and projector and reels of JM>home movies I really should get converted to disk, if they are still good).

I still have the old Da-Lite screen, when I was doing presentations at
local ham radio events. I had to rent a special projector to put the
PowerPoint presentation on the screen.

When the Polaroid camera came out he brought one. He had an option to bu
stock, $1 a share, and didn't, saying it was a fad.

I had a Polaroid Sun 600, with the "instant picture" for several years...really liked it.

When a neighbour bought the first tv in town, he had to have one
to and we had the second set in town, 1948. Never mind there was
no television here at the time, that was still months in the future. JM>Neighbours were over all the time to stare the Indian head test

Or like the commercial, where you see all the infirmed parents...on
crutches, with walkers, in wheelchairs, etc. -- sobbing as the bid their
kids goodbye at the school bus stop. But, as soon as the school bus long disappeared over the hill, these same "infirmed" parents were doing
cartwheels, somersaults, etc. <G>

While I am very careful with a buck (Why eat out when I have food at home?) if it comes to something that is durable I'll spend.
My idea is with food, for example, after I have that hamburger I'll just be hungry again the next day, but if I buy something durable it will be around for

LOL!!

I wonder if they have reruns of Green Acres in there?? What'd be
funnier if someone on staff is named Mr. Haney. <G>

While I am very careful with a buck (Why eat out when I have food at home?

I usually eat home, unless I'm without power, as I was for much of the
last 24 hours, due to severe weather. But, after having lunch at a local
Subway (they have a new entree...a fried chicken sandwich...quite good),
I was hoping to eat afterwards, since power was out to my apartment for
over 15 hours...and several in my zip code are still "in the dark".

Hurricane force winds blasted my area around 3am this morning...no
damage to the apartment, but lots of downed trees in the
area.,.including at the other exit to the apartment complex. An area
billboard was crushed by a fallen tree, and another road was completely
blocked by a downed tree.

My idea is with food, for example, after I have that hamburger I'll just
hungry again the next day, but if I buy something durable it will be around JM>a while.

Salads are good, and can stick to the ribs...but all that fiber can
have a nasty effect. :P Texas Roadhouse, though, has a fantastic grilled chicken salad.

I have gas for heating and cooking and can remember only one time, years ago, the gas was off and that was due to a leak in the main somewhere. And it was in winter, of course, but the landlord supplied electric heaters for the duration, a day or so. I had the MW as a back up.
But the power has gone off from time to time, usually due to a storm.
One summer day in the late '90s a transformer blew and without electric for some hours. Other than no pc, it didn't really bother me.
The day after the first one blew the one beside it blew. So another day or two.
But other than the pc, I can live without electricity but so many younger people in the building were lost. They didn't know what to do without a tv, radio, etc.
I was perfectly happy sitting by a open window reading a book.
This, and most of the buildings downtown, are on different grids so while one
apartment/building may be without power, another one will have power in sort of
a checkerboard pattern. Often one with power in this building will run extension cords to those without for lighting anyway.
I have candles* to use when its dark. But then I often figure since its dark
to go on to bed. :)
(* In 1999 or so with all the talk about Y2K and the expected horrors to happen at 0000 1/1/2000 there were all sorts of doomsday prepping.
I always have candles on hand.
I saw an ad on eBay for a lack of power emergency kit. Big bold red letters about how to be prepared for no lights, etc.
Turned out to be a box of candles! :)
But I bought a box since a good deal, something like 100 full size candles for $20, a pretty good deal. I still have lots of them left.
Speaking of Y2K, I was scheduled to work starting at midnight and watched the news earlier new years eve as they covered any disaster starting with Guam.
I always say so long as there's Guam, there will be another day. Anyway with nothing happening I knew I had to go to work after all. :)

Hurricane force winds blasted my area around 3am this morning

I read about the tornadoes that were in Iowa recently.

Hi, Joe...

ago, the gas was off and that was due to a leak in the main somewhere. And JM>was in winter, of course, but the landlord supplied electric heaters for the JM>duration, a day or so. I had the MW as a back up.

My apartment is electric only. However, I don't use the stove at
all...I'm a "microwave man".

But the power has gone off from time to time, usually due to a storm.

One time, lightning hit a power substation in west Little Rock,
putting that part of town in the dark for at least 9 hours!!

The day after the first one blew the one beside it blew. So another day o
two.

When those transformers or fuses blow, it sounds like a cannon going
off!!

But other than the pc, I can live without electricity but so many younger
people in the building were lost. They didn't know what to do without a tv, JM>radio, etc.

That's for sure. At least the toilets aren't electric. :P

I was perfectly happy sitting by a open window reading a book.

I was never much of a bookworm, but my late wife was.

I have candles* to use when its dark. But then I often figure since its d
to go on to bed. :)

When power goes out here, it's nap time for me...but it ain't for
beauty's sake...I gave that up long ago (and, no snide remarks from the
peanut gallery!! <G>).

I always have candles on hand.

I have portable battery lights. One apartment had them, but they
somehow fell over, and set the place on fire. It was in the next
building over from mine...and my wife and I were up at that hour. So,
when the neighbor banged on our window, I called the Fire Department.

I saw an ad on eBay for a lack of power emergency kit. Big bold red lette
about how to be prepared for no lights, etc.
Turned out to be a box of candles! :)

Bought by a blonde, though. <G>

I read about the tornadoes that were in Iowa recently.

Yeah, it was apparently an EF-3 that did significant damage in
Marshalltown, near Des Moines.

I can't recall a candle of mine ever falling over.

When I was in college in the mid-70s my chaplain was known as "Marryin' Sam" due to all the weddings he performed.
One hot August day there was a big church wedding and when he came to line "If anyone have cause these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold
your peace" when suddenly several man in the congregation jumped to their feet and rushed the altar.
They ran past the bridal party to the altar.
The candles gotten soft from the heat, tipped over, due to the weight of the metal follower (the bit on top of candles), and fell against the tapestry behind the altar, setting it on fire!
The ripped it down, stomped on it, and took it out to the yard and drowned it
in water.
Marryin' Sam said in all his years no one had even said anything, much less a
group of men running toward the party. :)

Joe,

I use the MW for re-heating, cooking some items, etc.

Same here...the conventional store and oven are just there for
decoration. <G>

I found what little frozen food I buy tastes better (everything helps froz
food taste good) when cooked in the oven.

The processed foods are loaded with salt, but I don't like to wait for
my food. You don't call me late for dinner.

I thought a bomb had gone off or something close by blew up.

That happened when we were living in south Florida. Our transformer
went out, and the power guy went to check it. It's a good thing he
wasn't looking directly at it, as the flash when it blew would've
blinded him.

Then I noticed the kitchen light ever so slowly started fading and finally
went out.

My mouse went out during a ham radio net tonight...I had to scramble
to get a battery.

I always get a chuckle how the electric company wants me to sign up to get
e-mail alerts for power outages. I keep thinking if the power is off how is JM>the pc going to work? But then a lot of people use their phones or tablets
mail.

I have the app from Entergy Arkansas, and I get text alerts on power
outages, and info on possible restoration times.

If I have to fill in during the week I take my tablet for mail and such.
(Weekends the building is closed and take my laptop).

The thing is, the batteries run down so darn quick...see my comment on
the dying mouse above. :P

How about a snide mod remark? :)

Well, rank has its privileges.

A nap wouldn't do you much good, that would take a coma.
And even then....

Well, at least I don't have Zachary Disease, where "my face look

Your ears are good. <G> I developed a sudden earache yesterday, and I
thought it was ear wax...turns out I somehow got an ear infection, with
"red and angry eardrums". Yet, even with a headset mic, that I use for
my ham radio applications, or viewing videos...I don't overdrive the
audio. So many others (especially in cars) have the music so loud, and
the beat is so strong, you think it's an earthquake. I dare say most of
them are deaf.

One hot August day there was a big church wedding and when he came to line
"If anyone have cause these two should not be joined, speak now or forever h

Talk about the church being "on fire for God". <G> Speaking of
candles, several years ago at a local church, power was out for the
Sunday morning service, but there was enough light coming in from the
windows where they could see, and still do the worship service, but the electric organ and sound system was obviously out of commission, with no
power.

The preacher had a candle at the pulpit, and one of the deacons
admonished him that "when that candle goes out, it's time to stop the sermon"...to which the preacher reached under the pulpit, and pulled out
two fresh candles!! <G>

Yesterday I made my biennial trip to the mall.
I was in a large national electronics place since I needed some blank DVD-RW's, CD-RW's and CDR's and checking out noticed a sign that read along the

I get an ear infection on a somewhat regular basis, which will be the right one year, the left the next and back again.
Lasts anywhere from a few days to about three months.
Nothing I have done corrects it and after about 30 years have learned to let it run its course and after a while there's a pop and ok again.

I have the cellphone on the charger now, watching the radar, as a

So, that means no more BBS or other computer work from after lunch until

I do that...when I walk by the candy or dessert aisle, and I hear
"take me home, and eat me...I'm worth it!!". <G>

I get an ear infection on a somewhat regular basis, which will be the righ
one year, the left the next and back again.

I didn't have the ringing in the ears, and the earaches have
subsided...but, I still have to take medicine twice a day for another
week.

-a It reminds me of the deal where they asked all the married men to stand next to the person who made their life worth living...the bartender was almost crushed to death!! <G>

LOL

Talk about a risky business. <G>

I use rechargeable batteries. And always have ones full of juice

One has to be careful to get such...the others will explode or catch fire if you try to recharge them.

That's because they aren't rechargeable.

I pull that at work sometimes with an underling.
Seldom works... :(

Got to give you an E for effort.

I had to fill in for someone yesterday and one of the guys who is in parking now stopped by the building.
Talk was about the students impending return in a couple of weeks and all that goes on.
I filled him in on a few things (his first move in) and that I was scheduled
to be back for the first three days of class when we have extra help on employee lots to keep students from parking there, that about 85 per cent are making an honest mistake and once told where to park are never seen again. (That would get our attention anyway).
I said I always liked the first day of class since its hectic and I would have people call me if they had any question, no matter how trivial, etc. And "I especially liked how everyone listened to everything I said and did what I told them. (pause) That lasted only a couple of hours, but it was great while
it lasted". :)

I hear those voices as well.

I occupationally had a very low ringing as well, but mostly the infection is a feeling of having water in my ear. No real pain but sounds are muffled in that ear.
I can always tell when its starting because that is one time the ear is very painful for about 24 hours, then the dullness and muffled sounds, etc start in.
Just before it re-opens there are popping and snapping sounds (like I have rice krispies in it) then about a day after that is a pop and ok again.
