  1. Yeah, but if I recall correctly, it wasn't all that much money. I remember you got a lot for a "nickel" and vaguely remember $65/lb. In Phoenix, you could get in a lot of trouble for five bucks.
  2. It makes you really intelligent!! Hey! What if the earth were really just an electron in a giant atom that we call the solar system! .......and what if atoms are really tiny little solar systems teaming with life, wondering if they were just sitting on a giant electron in a giant atom?!?! ....Who has the Cheetos?
  3. If all one does is focus on the pebbles on the road they will never enjoy the journey. If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass every time he hopped. I hit a nerve. Ok which one of these three is you! Come on say it? The porn? The bossy wife or the out of touch one who thinks Heff has tickle fights. OK, I spent 5 minutes laboriously reading your whole post so I would know wtf you were talking about or what your point is.......I still don't know. I want my 5 minutes back. (at my age I hate wasting them)

  5. Actually I stopped reading when I got to the "yin-yang" error. I was hoping you were re-opening your great advice column.
  6. Also, I think yin is spelled "y i n"....not "y i n g", as in the eastern concept of the yin and the yang. A "ying-yang" is a synonym for "kazoo".
  7. You are still talking about the email folder.....right!?!
  8. No, not really. It explores both sides of a fairly typical parent-child relationship as it evolves over a lifetime, and illustrates how ordinary busy lives can often use up so much time and space in any family's relationship. The lesson is, take the time to make the time for all of your family members, while you still can, because all opportunities are finite. Anyone who's ever lost, for example, a close relative has probably experienced this. Probably better word than "neglectful" would have been "detached". The song is about a father lamenting his lack of involvement in his son's early life which has resulted in the son's similar treatment of the father later in their lives. The behavior of the son was learned from the father. "The Cat's in the Cradle" phrase refers to the son's upbringing by someone other than his parent........not that the parent is "missing", but preoccupied by work, friends, and his own interests. It usually means the child-rearing duties were taken over by a substitute or nanny who was more involved in the child's daily existence and emotional needs. Edit to add: You are right, though......unfortunately it is "fairly typical", even if the "substitute is the mother.
  9. That's about a "neglectful" dad. The opposite would be Cat Stevens - Father and Son. The father tries to bestow a little wisdom and the son is too stupid to even listen. (I was on the son's side when I first heard this song.)
  10. This one always brings a tear to my eyes for some reason: Alan Jackson - Drive http://stlyrics.com/songs/a/alanjackson152/drive292150.html
  11. I'm assuming they would have to make the decision to leave while the plane is still flying straight and level. I can't imagine trying to get from the cockpit to a door behind the wing while the airplane is doing pilotless aerobatics.
  12. Didn't some of the earlier 007 films use TSE Equipment?.....maybe Zerox (looks a lot like a vector)? I seem to remember that being discussed years ago on the porch after jumping but the beer light had been on for a while, so......(shrug) who knows?
  13. My guess is Tiger's house (....and it's in Florida).

    bungee jumping

    Maybe that's because you didn't look at the ground.

  16. The short answer, of course, is to wire them all in parallel to the 2-wire cable going from the switch to the existing light if you want them all to come on at the same time with one switch. How, exactly, you do this will determine whether you are within "code". I'm not sure, but I don't think you can use the wires with the cut off plugs "legally" if they are to be hidden within the "ceiling". You may be able to get away with it if you run them inside a conduit, flexible or otherwise. (It IS Alabama, after all.) Also, they will need to be connected inside a junction box as mentioned before. (disclaimer: I'm not an electrician but my boss makes me do some of that work anyway.)
  17. You mean this past Saturday!?..... or some Saturday way back in 1965?
  18. Yep, all the rest are just movies with surfing scenes in them. "Endless Summer" really was a great flick but I'm not going to go find it and watch it in case my memory is making it a better flick than it really was.
  19. Thanks for posting this link. Very hard to read the copyright date at the end but it looks like it may be MCMLXX (1970).
  20. Just do one. Then, you could do a real time A-D comparison. More scientific that way.
  21. NOT ME!! .......Oh, You mean........ oh OK.
  22. I was hoping there were other living people who remembered "Endless Summer". Just us old farts, I guess. I've always loved the idea of traveling around the world, in tune with the rotation of the earth around the sun, so that you are always in the summer season. I'd like to do a year-long skydiving vacation like that sometime. I can't believe no one has mentioned "Beach Blanket Bingo". Complete with surfing AND skydiving, waaaay before "Point Break". DZO in the movie was Don "Big Drop" Rickles. Oh, Yeah! Only the old farts would remember this one, too.
  23. Yep! the fifth one down. .... the red and black one.
