60+ year old thread.

If I'm in the mood, and a telemarketer gets me on the phone, I play with them and string them along then BAZINGA I tell em to get off my F*#&EN phone(annoying men only)...Or I put the phone down and walk away...or if my grandkids are over I give them the phone and let the marketer talk to them...They always seem to call at the most inopportune times so if they want to waste my time I will waste theirs...It is as Tom said a pet peeve of mine too...

They always want to upgrade your service and get you to get more channels by giving you a 30 day "FREE Trial" in hopes you forget to cancel so they can charge you...There is always "The Fine Print" with everything they are trying to huckster...Ken

 

I be one, 64 and surprised.

 

Welcome to the thread Donnie. What is your pups name? Lots of dog owners in this thread.

 

Morning All, Welcome Donnie to the almost dead... Jim

 

Welcome Donnie...pull up a rocker and stay awhile...Ken

 

Morning All...Last day of the fall season...warm out today, tomorrow is the first day of winter...probably get a blizzard and the temp drop to 25 degrees...Ken

 

morning all: another "old timer" - Hi donnie!

 

Thanks Guys. It sure is warm, I fired up my anthracite stove too early again. Wasn't today the first day of winter?

I notice you guys all Vets, nice to be among friends.

 

Yup yesterday was the first day of winter. On the bright side, pun intended, we are getting 2 minutes more of daylight every day now.

 

Morning, all! A balmy 46 here in northeast PA on this first day of winter! Love it!!

Welcome, Donnie! You'll see a few of us kids playing around here - like Dennis the Menace, we're tolerated.

Got some projects to do today - have to stain 2 new rifle racks I got and then go into the TV station where Lynn wors and help her paint her office. By the time we get home, it will be time for a cocktail!!

 

Morning all....Thank You for Your Service Donnie...we have a good bunch on this thread...even a few youngun's that stop in from time to time. I heated with anthracite for many years and always had the warmest house in the neighborhood...used a spackle bucket a day and it was a lot cheaper than arabian gold at the time...

Hi Mark.... sounds like you have a full day ahead of you. Don't mind staining but hate painting...I try everything I can to get out of it...

Tomorrow and Saturday is a busy day with shopping and getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner. we have a house full so we have to start getting ready tomorrow. Heres pic's from last year after it was set up...

 

Morning All,Its nice to wake up alive..Every day out of the ground is a good one.... Jim

 

morning all: where's the ice? It's winter; should be ice fishing by now. oh well, at least on mon. the flinchlock season opens, and I'll get another chance to run around in the woods again.

darn global warming!!!!

 

That is exactly how I rationalize the short, dark days of winter.

Hi Donnie Ho!

Good day to all us wise and mature ones.

 

DAM,,, 81 for a high today something is not right!!! Could al be right Jim

 

!

darn: and I was going to send you my old ice auger for christmas. !

 

Morning all...enjoy the warm while you can Jim...never know when it's gonna change...Don't give up the auger yet Carl I hear the ice age will be making a return in the future...just heard on the news here that 3 high school kids baked a cake and iced it with s*#t and gave it to another girl who took it home and the criminal charges said the family ate it and got sick...amazing what these yougun's will do...Ken

 

Morning everyone!! It's about 39 here this morning - lots of rain last night. Looks like a brownish green Christmas this year.

Lynn and I got her office painted yesterday afternoon - took about 5 hours from start to finish. Had to move all the file cainets, safe, bookcases, etc and it took two coats to cover. But, it looks great now!!

After trying to stain these new rifle racks, I have decided that paintwill look better - so change in plans and another trip to the local hardware store to get black paint. At least I have a project to keep me busy for a few days.

Have a great day!!

 

Morning All, Looks like I have to mow the grass today,That little rain last week and now 80's for highs the dam grass is growing in Dec... Jim

 

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I'll be snow blowing about a foot of snow off the driveway when I get home this morning...and it's 18 degrees fahrenheit. If that makes you feel any better?

Sorry for stepping on the lawn ... been reading through your thread tonight and thoroughly enjoying it; especially the parts about Vietnam. THANK YOU for your service!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Gotta run before the rock salt and/or buckshot flies!

I'll be back in 13 years...
