  1. Boy I really need cataract surgery, which I am getting in 5 weeks. I look at the thread title and thought it said "...pays the fish" 😄
  2. Just build a BIG wooden horse...😀
  3. Maybe being not so riled up in the AM will help. For me it's to bed at 12 or 12:30,up around 4-5 to pee (depending how much I had to drink (non alcoholic) the night before), and then up at 8-8:30 unless I have an early Dr. appointment. Take a nap on average twice a week. Usually nice restful sleep.
  4. They are one last gasp for the 60s hippies to think they are young and relevant again before they die off. All of the geriatrics in those groups look to be late 70s (about 10 years older than me).
  5. She has to get up now to be at work at 9AM with all the traffic. In the SF area I had a 35 mile drive. It took about 75 minutes o a good day.
  6. Why am I thinking of Lucy Van Pelt?
  7. I never served. At an early age I knew that I would never serve in the Armed Forces. I had a kidney taken out at age 4 and when I expressed interest following my dad in the Navy as a kid, my parents let me know that I would not be accepted (4-F). Nevertheless when I turned 18 I went downtown to register to vote, get my sheriff's card (ID to drink back then) and to register for the draft as everyone had to although there was no draft for 2 years. They told me that tthat they would now have people register 2 times a year and the a few months later they stopped the registrations altogether. My friend that is 2 months older than me had a draft card.
  8. Dummy, yesterday was the ARMY's 250th b-day. The Marines is in November (don't know when the Navy; or the Air Force's is. Blame his mother for having him on June 14k which also is Flag Day. Are they going to have soldiers at the Navy b-day parade or drag ships down Constitution Ave?
  9. Well, Nan can't do that with a walker nowadays.
  10. Muppy, Like I said " Lighten up Francis". It will be better for your overall health.
  11. I'm watching it on a delay. Love the music they are playing now- Barracuda, Back in Black, Thunder, Enter Sandman, etc,
  12. That's what she said!
  13. If they have one in Buffalo, no one will be there.This weekend is the Allentown Art Festival AND Juneteenth. When I was young (almost 50 years ago), we'd make two trips around the Art Festival. One to quickly look at the art, and another much slower one to check out all the girls.
  14. He's probably scared of clowns too.
  15. I'd rather have fast girls and young cars!
  16. Parade this evening with the Golden Knights jumping neat dusk with the American Flag and presenting it to there POTUS.
  17. WGAF about human traffickers, wife beaters , MS-13 members, rapists, and murders?
  18. Film all the scenes with Yogurt (Mel Brooks) first.
  19. I think that goes both ways. I hear commercials here in Buffalo from lawyers advertising that they can get that taken care of so you can cross the border. Don't know if Canadian legal system allows then to do that.
  20. The first week I started in the lab in Grad school (back in 85), the lab went to a conference on yeast genetics in Toronto. We had me, my advisor, another grad student, a lab tech (all of us American natural born citizens), and three people with green cards. Going into Canada we all had to get out of the car and the nonUS citizens went into the office at the Peace Bridge for about 19 min to have their papers inspected. Coming back at US customs. the man in the booth looked at their papers quickly and asked us why we had gone to Canada. We explained and then he asked us how many cases of beer we had in the trunk. We were perplexed at the question He said " Since you study yeast, why didn't you bring back some beer? You could have brought back a case a person duty free!😀" This part is for the people that either didn't grow up here or move when little: Back in the late 70s we have a car full of guys going to the strip clubsin Ft. Erie. At the Canadian customs, we would just say " Canadian Ballet" abd he would say "Have Fun!"
