60+ year old thread.

I actually like antique shops as long as they have lots of old wood furniture. We just don't have any more room. I put on two stripes while we were stationed in England. Both times all Kristi wanted to know was how much more weight allowance that gave her to go buy more antiques.

 

They did have some nice ones over there... I looked at a few but didn't get any... was trying to pay bills off

 

Two Hrs. drive time..One Hr each shop... God can they cackle. I check the few man things then sit outside so I can smoke & check the skirts

 

Evening all:
Darn, you mean you paid for a heater? I would think they would have a heater delete option.

Just read the article Capt.; not enough!

 

hi Jim, about 100 of those damn snow birds are from my neighborhood...please keep them cause now the roads up here are much safer

Hey Cheech...heater???59*. Hows it going over there in HI

Florida is a stand your ground State...usually don't work with the wife though

Did you get to Portabello Road in London for the antiques there...The missus had to go and we spent the better part of a day in and out of the shops there...she finally bought a ring which made me happy because then we went for dinner

Skirts

 

WTF is it with some of the people in the military...maybe a few examples need to made of them and then the rest might show some respect

Morning Cap...and still another one...

and these are the people that are protecting this country...When we were in there were problems, but they weren't out in the open like they are now...a few rotten apples make it bad for the rest of our military personnel

 

... I should keep my mouth shut, but the forecast is high of 42F here today. Supposed to be similar for the next week. This is about the strangest Winter I've seen in a while.

We made it there once. Did a lot of our shopping locally in the Mildenhall/Lakenheath and surrounding areas. There were antique sales organized on base from time to time. Most of what we bought wasn't really considered "antique" by British standards, but dated back to 1890s thru 1940s ... I guess they'd consider it refinished old furniture. We didn't have a lot of furniture when we PCS'd to England. After a couple trips to the BX run furniture store, we realized for not much more money than what they wanted for lesser quality new furniture, we could buy old refinished stuff made out of solid wood that was 50 to 100 years old and would probably be around for another 50 to 100 years.

I better stop there before WBO petitions to have my man card suspended.

And of course ... for skirts!

 

I have to laugh when you see a furniture ad and they say real wood andyou know it's Manufactured "wood"......Love some of the old furniture and the craftsmanship put into the building of it

 

I am no longer surprised

Hope with all the big cuts coming ,They know in each unit who to cut..

real wood, now is glue & sawdust

Nope, not gonna say it.

 

It is very difficult not to...

 

Morning all:

Reading the links; sign of the times?

Cute pup...Sue should be here soon

Hey Cheech...heater???59*. Hows it going over there in HI

Yeah, didn't know what I was thinking. Just thought it would be neat to see how the damn thing actually worked...HI weather is so boring.

Everything with me is going great, can't say the same for our local government though. The same ole crooks get voted in every election, so things don't change. One good thing, we probably have the most Tacomas per capita than most other states. Everyday driving down the road is like a Tacoma convoy.
