Same thing happened to us. We had a nice, tidy place in Central Oregon, and we really took pride in it. We hand dug a beautiful pond (with a waterfall and a circulating pumps) in front of the large front deck and landscaped it with flat lava rocks into a multi-tiered flower/herb bed, we...

If I remember correctly, his name is Oscar. Cute kitty. :)

I grew up in the Valley (mostly Portland), and made good my escape in 1995. Back then, it was almost one big city between Portland and Eugene. I shudder to think what it's like now. I really like where I live now. Have to drive a mile and a half to get to the next door neighbor's place...

All the way to Eugene! :oops:

That's how cold it is here this morning. -29F with a wind chill of -65F and sandblasting snow. I have no idea how I'm going to do chores in this. A little bit at a time, I guess.

I make a mouth-watering steak in a frying pan, but only in cast iron. Heat that pan up, slap the steak on, 4 minutes on one side, 2 on the other side, and it's perfectly seared outside and medium rare on the inside. I only use the cast iron for steaks now. YUM!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I used to race cars. Just bracket drag races, nothing spectacular. But my little 318 Coronet was just half a second into "C" bracket, which was "everything else," including those damnable VW bugs. I HATED running against one of them, because they...

She can, like, write? :rolleyes:

You can't eat just one! I hardly ever make them anymore. So much work, and they're all gone in less than 10 minutes...

On behalf of my husband, thank you all for these posts. Some of them brought tears to my eyes. My husband was in the Air Force during Viet Nam, and of course, was spit on and berated when he got home. Every time someone thanks him for the job he did back then, he's surprised. I'm going to let...

Yesterday, my husband told me he had a bad joke that I should pass on to "those guys that tell the bad jokes" on the cattle forum. It's pretty bad, but you should appreciate it. I hope this isn't a re-run, it kinda sounds a little familiar to me... A wife is doing the laundry and finds a comb...

Emergency? You young whippersnapper! ;) Was it metal? That was well after my lunchbox time. I remember my metal lunchbox's unique smell when I opened it. It wasn't a bad smell. More like a lot of cheese sandwiches and apples had been in it. I don't remember what was ON my lunchbox, so it...

Oh, roller skates! I think there were a few years when I never actually took a step! I rolled everywhere I went. My skating fascination lasted well into my teens, and if I still had the knees, I'd be skating to this day. I love it! I never hit anyone but my own self with my clackers. I had...

My favorite toys were my Clackers and my Shoop-shoop Hula Hoop. I could do either one for hours at a time. It's no wonder my mother went insane. It's her fault for buying them for me, right? ;)

Argh.

I know EXACTLY what those are. Mucilage. God, I'd forgotten all about that, but now, seeing the picture, I can SMELL the stuff. ...smearing the back of your construction paper creation to stick it on to another piece of colored construction paper. Second grade. Yowza, I can remember it like...

In my house, it would mean CHEESE! ;) In fact, that looks very much like my cheese pot.

"I knew I should have taken a left toin at Albukoykee..." ;)

I wouldn't say I'm a Trekkie, but I like Star Trek. And Star Wars. All those sci-fi shows and movies. :)

DOCTOR Spock? God save us... (Dr. Spock was the baby doctor that said you shouldn't spank your children, and look where that's gotten us. MISTER Spock would have just Vulcan-neck-pinched the bad kids and let them sleep it off in their room. WITHOUT their TV and game computer. I know that...
