Walter (Radar) O'Reilly... beat those skins like a mo-fo!

You guys whining about the weather in the fall are nuts! My birthday is in the second week of November and for as far back as I can remember over these 70 some years I've been around the weather has historically been pretty much nice during the first half of November. I've relocated some snow on Halloween more than once and then cooked out on the patio just a few days later! Other than a few unpredictable short-lived storms over the years the REAL crappy weather that's here to hang around for a while doesn't arrive until mid to late December.

To the best of my knowledge "pre-school" didn't exist back in 1956? However... I have a black & white photo that my mother took of me on my first day of kindergarten in 1957 and I remember exactly zero of anything that went down. My earliest recollections are from the 1959 era around the time my father bought his first brand new Buick. Man... those fins were a sight to behold for a little kid!

I guess you'd have to ask Samsung that question but smart tvs were just becoming a thing when we bought this one... and I DO have a Firestick. So how does a Firestick get me HBO?

Thanks for the idea but I feel a sense of accomplishment just making phone calls on the damned thing!

Thanks! I'll have the Boss give them a call. I have no clue what our account login would be... I'm old and smart enough to leave that stuff for the more intelligent part of the marriage :)

OK... thanks for the get-back... appreciate it! I guess I'm screwed since I don't own a Smart TV and watching stuff like that on a phone seems pretty silly to me when I have a 55 inch Plasma TV sitting there.

NO!

I've got a few questions here if you don't mind? Which Spectrum "package" do you have and what channel are you getting HBO Max on? Also... what city is your Spectrum account associated with? I've got Spectrum from the Rochester area but I don't see any HBO channels at all listed in my guide. If I type in "HBO" in the search box and choose a channel in the list that comes up all I see is a prompt to upgrade on each of them. So... I'm guessing that you're getting it "free" because it's included in the particular package you're subscribed to and paying for.

How does one go about getting their GTA? I don't think I have one of those either... would I really need one of them or are they just for football players?

Only thing I've been able to come up with so far is it's an "upper body injury". There's lots of things to injure in the "upper body"... it would be helpful if they would be just a tad more informative. At least tell us exactly where the "upper body" begins... my guess would be anything above the waistline?

The place I tended bar at had a bowling machine that used a puck like on shuffleboards instead of a ball and I'd play that damned thing most of the night if it was slow at the bar... I have no idea how many 300 games I racked up. The owner of the place left the key for the change box in the till and told me to just take out a bunch of quarters before my shift started so I actually never spent any of my own money playing it.

I've never heard of the guy myself but from the way it's worded (my leadership has become a distraction) it sounds like there was a bit of head butting going down.

And yet you "wasted your time" responding to it. Ya know when ya point one finger at someone your four other fingers are pointing back at yourself... right?

I thought they were still playing but like I said I was never into country music so they're not anybody I'd have kept up with. As far as Primitive Scene/Devils Rock goes I only went there a few times as I worked from 7 pm to 7 am six nights a week between 1977 and 1980 and having a night off on a weekend was a rarity! How about Nightlife... does that name ring any bells with you? They were one of the few really hot bands around here for a while in the early 80's. When I confronted a couple of the guys in the band about doing our wedding one night they checked their schedule and both of them said almost in harmony "might as well... about half of our regular crowd will be there anyhow" :) Being a bartender at one of the area hot spots back then we drew a lot of the same crowd that Nightlife played in front of.
