I also saw "Talk to Her" last night... wow, another film that's even better the second time. Saw it first... didn't want to end the day in a heavy note...

billygoat is downstairs watching The Incredibles at the moment. I am dead tired, and have the chance to sleep in tomorrow (and I have every intention of doing so!!)
Nighty night all!
I'll leave the plate of girl scout cookies.......

Goog night mom.

Boobs - when I left the office the hard drive transfer was at 69%. I am not joking. We will see in the morning if it worked.

Morning all......coffee is brewing and there are buns in the oven.

brdlwyr...Lusia is back and I hope so is your hard drive. Maybe you can give it some Viagra if it's not.

Here's some memories for you.....

A little house with three bedrooms and one car on the street,
A mower that you had to push to make the grass look neat.

In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone, And no
need for recording things, someone was always home.

We only had a living room where we would congregate,
Unless it was at mealtime in the kitchen where we ate.

We had no need for family rooms or extra rooms to dine,
When meeting as a family those two rooms would work
out fine.

We only had one TV set, and channels maybe two, But
always there was one of them with something worth
the view.

For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip,
And if you wanted flavor there was Lipton's onion dip.

Store-bought snacks were rare because my mother liked
to cook, And nothing can compare to snacks in Betty
Crocker's book.


Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play,
We all did things together -- even go to church to pray.


When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because we liked to be together.


Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own,
But we knew where the others were without our own
cell phone.

Then there were the movies with your favorite movie star,
And nothing can compare to watching movies in your car.

Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season,
Pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason.

Get a baseball game together with all the friends you know,
Have real action playing ball -- and no game video.

Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend,
And didn't need insurance or a lawyer to defend?

The way that he took care of you or what he had to do,
Because he took an oath and strived to do the best for
you.

Remember going to the store and shopping casually, And
when you went to pay for it you used your own money?


Nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount,
Remember when the cashier person had to really count?


The milkman used to go from door to door, And it was just
a few cents more than going to the store.

There was a time when mailed letters came right to your
door, Without a lot of junk mail ads sent out by every
store.

The mailman knew each house by name and knew where it
was sent; There were not loads of mail addressed to
"present occupant."


There was a time when just one glance was all that it
would take, And you would know the kind of car, the
model and the make.

They didn't look like turtles trying to squeeze out every
mile; They were streamlined, white walls, fins, and
really had some style.


One time the music that you played whenever you would
jive, Was from a vinyl, big-holed record called a forty-five.

The record player had a post to keep them all in line, And
then the records would drop down and play one at a time.

Oh sure, we had our problems then, just like we do today,
And always we were striving, trying for a better way.

Oh, the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun,
How can you explain a game, just kick the can and run?

And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle
spokes, And for a nickel red machines had little bottled
Cokes?


This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways,
I love the new technology but I sure miss those days.

So time moves on and so do we, and nothing stays the same,
But I sure love to reminisce and walk down memory lane.

Hi, mom!

Boobs I'm not the least bit accident prone. It's just when some people throw things at me and poke at recent injuries of mine....

[Broadwayboobs]

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 3/18/05 at 9:26am

[mominator]

Good morning mom BB, and all.

BB - this is coming from my new Seagate 80 GB Barracuda that is much quieter. I also had to put in a new drive to run the program the install the new device.

Remember when the storage devices were actually similar the name to which they were called. I still have a few of those storage devices at home with college papers on them and no equipment on which to read them.

Happy weekend.
