I remember my grandparents talking about it, but I've never actually used or known of an actual party line. My parents bought a brand new house in 1970, and we got a touch tone phone! Those were great, I could play mary had a little lamb, and twinkle twinkle. :D The thing my son and i were talking about today was phones with the realllllllllllllllllll long cords, so you could take them out to the porch -- we had that, in the apartment we lived in when our son was growing up. :D I got one of those when my folks bought another house in 1978, and I had the bedroom upstairs -- the phone in the den upstairs was a princess phone, with a 25' straight cord, and I got a really long curly cord for it, so I could take it into my room and have "my own phone." :giggle:

I remember those. We didn't have a party line in our house but my aunt did and we used it when we were there. My grandmother had one beside her bed in the house I grew up in where you held that ear piece to your head and talked into the funnel on the wall.

Remember how the first cordless phones were giant? Like satellite phones. You can see them on old eps of Seinfeld.

BTW, the Moto phones are excellent -- this is my 3rd smart phone, and I wanted one with just a bit more oomph, speed, memory, etc... I got mine from Verizon when they were running a sale, and it's a damn good phone, the Moto Z2 Play, and costs about HALF what you'd pay for a Samsung.

Good morning all :coffee2:

I couldn't find the "I'm still in the bed with a bad case of dragass" emoticon so the coffee one will have to do.

Thankful to still be on this side of the grass today :)
Hope you are all doing well.

Let's seeeeee..... 5 bottles of diy this morning. Lemon Cream, plain ol' Strawberry, Strawberry Cream, Candy Grape and of course Orange. I love Orange.

I remember both but it was my parents watching them. Also Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Daniel Boone, Leave It To Beaver, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show... Andy Griffith. Milton Beryl. Ed Sullivan (before it went to color).... That's when there were only 7 network channels. 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 (in Los Angeles anyway). When I was very small TV was still only in B&W. TV commercials were almost all for cigarettes, cigars ("Should a gentleman offer a Tiparillo to a lady?"), kitchen appliances and cereal. And at 12am or 1 (maybe 2?) the networks all closed down and you got that standard broadcast image if you still had the tele on. :)

o/` o/` "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

I remember all of that! :) Where I grew up in TN, we only got 3 channels out of Chattanooga, and if the weather was just right, sometimes we could barely get a channel from Nashville and a couple from Knoxville.

When I was in grade school the big deal was "Dark Shadows" which aired in the afternoons and was a soap opera about a vampire geared towards kidsl! LOL!!! I never cared for it... but I did watch it.

I was addicted to Dark Shadows. Barnabas Collins was my hero. I managed to find a few episodes of it on dvd a few years ago and it was actually better than I remembered.

I stick to 17 whenever possible, though sometimes stray into early 30s. 4? Not sure I could live through my youth again unscathed. :D

Well, I was four going on fifty. Mom & me were living in the town of New Market. The grocery was across the street, post office too. Mom would help me make up a grocery list, send me over. There i was met by the old man owner who give my list to his boy, Smoky. Smoky would walk around the store with me reading him off my list to him, put stuff in the cart.

Mom told me it was not right to call Smoky boy like the old man owner did. I never did, he was Smoky or "hey you". Not this past time back to VA but the one prior, I saw him again. This time he was the old man owner. He had a young fellow he called boy working in the store. His boy was white. Smoky had took what a four year old boy told him to heart, "learn to read and you can rule your world." He had gone through college & gotten a business degree.

From what he had saved up all his life and some seed money from an uncle, Smoky bought the grocery. Mom taught me there is no color between human beings. We're all the same family like all lions are lions, fish are fish. To me racism would ultimately be me calling someone an elephant trunk platypus with stork legs. That way I could avoid insulting any one animal.

Mom taught me a good bit as we lived there. I learned that if someone wants to break in and steal stuff, help them carry it out, laugh but not at them. Don't worry about stuff, there's always more stuff but not always more you. I learned it was okay to be scared but you had look it in the eye, too. Me & mom had fun there as well. I played with kids from down the block, marbles, jacks, tag, hide-n-go seek. We could run all over town so long as we remembered the polite rule, "children are seen but not heard".

Looking back I realize it was a time when there was no fear. I'm sure there were plenty of child molesters around, kidnappers, crazies. But us kids was let be to enjoy growing up in a small town. There were some grown ups we knew to stay away from and we did, if not mamas whooped our butts. We saw afternoon double feature matinees, Boris Karloff, Bela Legosa, the Thing, The Blob. Those movie trips cost us each a whole nickle and moms didn't like turning nickles loose none too quick.

We started a delivery and message service. Two pennies and we would go from one end of town to another to tell a message. Three pennies and we would haul light packages the same. Then, we divided up the money in our pool for movies, candy, drinks. Back then folks sure saw the world different as well. They liked us kids pitching in and helping out. Folks took the time for kids, set us on the right way and it wasn't all concerned with what got taught in books.

Everybody then was also poor like today but then we knew everybody together had more money than we needed. Stuff was that and that alone, nobody took to hording stuff, folks would pass it along among one another. If you were hungry you ate. You needed to rest they let you snooze on the couch while they looked at the silly t.v. box, or listened to the radio and did their house chores. Poor but nobody was without. Poor but so much more wealthier than the most flush rich person.

Now, don't go reading what I scribble here as indicating I'm all for socialism, communism or anything of the like. I'm not but I am for humanity and people giving a damn. Some of that seems to have got lost in thirty to forty years time. Folks might say we ought to blame Muslims, Christians, Jews. I don't think we need to blame anybody but what we see in a mirror. Gravestones don't care who you are, who you say you worship or how, nor about colors, who you take to bed. Love also doesn't care, love is love. Where did it go, love? Well, it's okay to be afraid but you gotta look it in the eye too.


Well piss, way out of topic here. Apologies. I better get some :coffee: & get the day started. Same morning vape for me, unflavored.

Ha Ha! Old style Mil Spec satellite phone, or what they used to use and in some cases still do. :) Those things rock. "oh I need my bars, ..." *lol* "Can you get through to so and so on that, they're over in that India?" "Just a second, it's ringing now ... yes, hello, ... here you go." Bars my ass.

I remember all of that! :) Where I grew up in TN, we only got 3 channels out of Chattanooga, and if the weather was just right, sometimes we could barely get a channel from Nashville and a couple from Knoxville.

We got two good channels on VHF and maybe one fuzzy channel on UHF. The UHF channel had good cartoons on Saturdays. It was out of D.C.. After a few years we got a third channel on VHF, PBS. Here now, wife can get about six channels with an amplified indoor antennae, they're those over the air digital ones. We got Roku hooked up downstairs.

Of course, we're strange it's either some documentary stuff about serial killers or Stargate shows, or Forged in Fire. Hoping for Fall to bring back Oak Island, American Ripper, Zodiac. And yep, I'm an axe murder, her granddad approved. I'm also a cereal killer. :)


ARR! Awight, i go gets me coffee bad puns are no funs.

I often get accused of being some fictional character. Sometimes, I think such an idea would be funny if I had not lived what I write, continue living it. Other times I can see how folks might think that. Well, worked myself out of housework today. Reckon I'll do some more weaving later on in the morning. Got a big round bit started, thinking I might do up a ditty bag. :)

Orange diy one shot with a cream cheese kick added. On the agenda today is cleaning out the closet for the pregnant cat I've been feeding. Finally just let her in and she's already nesting in the closet. Named her Junebug, should make for an entertaining winter; it's been years since I had a house full of kittens.:inlove:

Thank you for the reminder:hug:

:hug: I've figured out what that work I got told when I died, entails. It is being here and loving.

Sometimes, I feel a shit heel like my wife's bro in law. My wife takes me to task though.

"You'll never compare to him. All anybody needs to is ask you to do something and up you get and go and do, or at the very least try doing it your hardest. We need to ask you simply because even if you do read minds, you still don't always know for sure what needs done. That's okay. Him? Well, he'll sit on his ass and not bother or tell you how great he is and defy you to say otherwise," she tells me.

It's very rare I might say no and mean it seriously. When I do though I notice that it's never a big deal of it made, whoever asks will try to go on and do for themselves. Something I told my wife when we first started talking, getting together, "I won't make you promises but only because I don't want to foul up with something beyond my control and not honor one."

Her granddad got me to promise something though. And I'll be damned if that's ever broken. He'd come back out of his grave and rightly kill me. Of course, I'd not run from him but go to him so he could. We'd take a walk way out in the back wood where nobody would even dream of looking for my remains. He'd come back, I wouldn't. That promise is all concerning love.

And this morning's vape is still again unflavored. *chuckles* I might be afixin here in a bit to go fetch some powdered cinnamon and add to some base, shake-n-vape, or I might not, not finished my debating. *grin* Probably talk myself out of it. At any given I know i need some :coffee: You're welcome, hon. It's easy enough anymore to forget, we got all this random information whizzing by us. If we keep sight of something more, even information warfare will do no good against us. Yes, I do believe information war has began. Recall reading a bit on it back when, some Sgt. Tolliver wrote up about "silent weapons". Well, I'm a gonna, ..

Dream Bar and a Monster this am. Wake up too thirsty and craving cold and fruity since I started vaping only so switched to Monster for my morning caffeine fix about 3 years ago. Finally let in the pregnant cat I've been feeding for a few weeks. She's been inside for a little over a week and has no interest in going back out. lol Named her Junebug, it's the only thing she will answer to. Last night was the first night she ventured out of the closet to join us.

Yeah... our 7 yr old, Tuxie, STILL hasn't accepted Annabel, who's now 7 months. Annabel mostly stays in our son's room, and anytime she's in there, Tuxie either sits and hisses at the door, or runs thru the hall past that door like her ass is on fire. :giggle: We're just waiting for Annabel to grow to mostly full size, then we'll let them settle it. :D She's nearly there. :devil:

My son says I've *mostly* nailed that "clove cigar" flavor I've been working on for him. I'll know I've really got it when he stops buying cancer at $5/pkg. :facepalm:

He desperately needs a car of his own, so you'd think he'd be hot to save money wherever possible, instead of wasting it on fucking tobacco. :facepalm:

Question for you coffee vapers... I have a couple coffee flavors I like but I never vape them b/c I'd have to change the wick afterward and don't want to bother. Do you keep multiple mods going to avoid having to do that? I know some flavors (fruit, whatever) don't matter as the first 20 hits might be a mix of flavor when you change the tank, but soon you get 100% of the new flavor. But coffee just doesn't go away. Especially the Espresso!

There were only two periods in my life I smoked daily for a limited amount of time. One was the OJ trial and I was smoking clove cigarettes. Usually on the treadmill I dragged into the living room so I could have something to do while watching. Sometimes with a drink in one hand, and a clove in the other, while I yelled at the TV. :D

To me, clove just reminds me of the dentist's office, one of my phobias. The only reason I can tolerate him smelling like it is because it hides a good bit of the tobacco reek. And I'll tolerate the smell of it in my kitchen if it gets him off those damn cigars. I think he just hasn't smoked long enough to really hate what it does to his body -- 10 yrs off and on -- versus the 39 yrs I smoked and 30 of which, I wished I didn't. But at least he's not smoking Camels anymore.

I remember decades ago at a place called the Tinder Box they sold clove cigarettes from India. GACK!!! Evil in a box. Oh they were nasty. Knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.

Ah well, ... I did watch it via CBSN. My view of it, I could believe Dr. Ford & think he was a bit evasive. I'm not convinced he did what is alleged with her, nor convinced he didn't. :popcorn: One big dog and pony show I think, likely a bit of :cloud: & mirrors as well to lull folks away from seeing something else. Oh well, just another circus day.

We used to watch Outlander nearly religiously. The second season started and a few episodes into that, the show for us jumped the shark & our interest waned off. Similar happened with the Sleepy Hollow show & think The Librarians, The Magicians. We never got into GOT or TWD, liked Penny Dreadful a while but it followed suit in jumping the shark. We are both not really horror movie buffs, though I've watched all the Nightmare On Elm series, Hell Raiser series, Alien series, Predator series. But we can watch documentaries about serial killers like nobodies business, she though does flinch away from looking at the autopsy or surgery stuff.

I don't mind that so much but then again I helped in a car wreck scene where the driver had gotten decapitated, his head though sat in place. His little girl had been in the seat behind him and was considerably mangled to say it politely. *shaking my head* It was, ... one of those kind of scenes, well you don't forget it and it settles your stomach. The fireman on scene pissed me off, refusing to so much as help block the interstate for the e.m.t's and police. None of them came over the side of the hill lugging the 80 lbs Jaws of Life and peeled the car roof back off the patients, nope, that was me. They had no clue I had got certified to use it a week prior.

Yep, I'm certified, baby! :) *grin*

I recently watched a two hour long movie that could have been reduced to two minutes. That drove me about ready to go find a dull wooden spoon and do a full frontal lobotomy. Save yourselves, do not see Gemini, it reeks of well, waste. It wasted film, wasted time, wasted being a story. Still thinking the lobotomy might not be a bad idea. I also did more yoga today, go me. :)

Think I'm heading to the rack. Shrek keeps wanting me to nap with him & I'm feeling oddly fatigued. So I'll :hug: :hug: just, ....

I'll admit I tried to watch some of it but I just got disgusted and turned it off.

This morning however, I am on my 2nd cup of coffee and vaping one of my absolute favorites, Squeezee Super Good (raspberry watermelon candy). Yuuuuuum yum!

Tried to watch the news as I usually do but I just didn't want to hear all the negativity this morning.

I hope everyone is having a great morning.

Hard to imagine being disgusted with Outlander. I read all the books, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next, and I even read all the Lord John novels, novellas, and short stories... but I'm all done reading everything she's published about the Outlander world, so my only option is to watch the shows. At first it felt odd, because Jamie didn't really look as I had imagined... but damn, that's a good looking man, so I got over it. :D

I never ever watch the news, because it's NOT "the news", it's just some pretty talking heads filling up space so there's a reason to show ADVERTISING! The only things those talking heads will "report" is whatever their corporate paymasters tell them to, which doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to "the news". Y'know, crap like "vaping is just as dangerous as smoking." That kind of corporate paymaster crap. For weather, it's weather.com or nothing, because they're really the only ones who are even CLOSE to being accurate, even if their corporate paymaster wants them to blether endlessly about global warming. The weather is for-sure doing a lot of strange things, and all the poison in the air is undoubtedly contributing to it... but it's really not possible for humans to know anything about what the climate is doing; climate is much too long a process for humans to notice much about it -- sorta like, yeah the mountains are being endlessly ground down by weather, but they're still gonna be there when everyone alive today is dead and gone.

Busy morning and forgot to check in. Mandarin kiwi this morning with a Rockstar orange energy drink. I haven't watched TV in about a year, most of my news comes from the forums and chatting with neighbors while walking my Em. Only thing I really miss is PBS music specials, Axis, and Burns & Allen. Thought I would jones for a couple of series I was into, but nope, not even curious what's going on with the characters.
