Hey Frig I was not part of the disco sucks crowd but also listened to the music you mentioned. Another one of the groups of that time was the Specials. Do you remember this one?

Patrick/Fred Remmber the "messenger" callls? They were primarily calls being placed to remote areas in Mexico & South America where there was only 1 phone in the whole town. You would place the call to the 'Messenger center", give the name of the party whom you were calling and they would give...

Little Fred I spoke with my partner about your phone problem. The older phones are polarity conscious but not polarity matching like technology. You could try and reverse the lead wires at the jack. If you need help, let me know and he can talk you through it. Do you have DSL? It is also...

Patrick Your comment regarding rudeness to male operators made me recall a situation that I had archived a long time ago. Upon giving my usual greeting ("Operator 837, may I help you?"), the male caller stated, "Why don't you get a job working in the field like the real men?" It really didn't...

A former TSPS Operator What memories this brings back. Fred N, you & I have shared stories about being telephone operators. I started with GTE in Redondo Beach, CA in Jan, 1975, as a toll operator. Worked the cord boards until TSPS was implemented. Bell had it well before GTE but then, that's...

Happy Birthday Wishing you a happy birthday here as I did in Vacuumland. Hope you and Todd had a wonderful celebration and will see you in FL as well. BTW, 3 candles each signify 10 years. Please, let me know what it is like to be 30. Huggs, Robb

Kenmore..... That Rotisserie is WONDERFUL!!! I have one that I inherited from my mother, which she got new in the 60's. I use it constantly and my eye round roasts come out to perfection every time. Robb

Toggles LOVED the clip. To quote the dearly beloved Weekend Update journalist, Roseanne Roseannadanna, "Well, I thought I was gonna DIE!" Most of my education involved attending Perochial school, having a 4 year break from it in high school, only to resume my formal education at a Catholic...

But you are! It must be said!

Hey 58 Thanks for the info. I thought that might have been a replica as the original 1965 Porsche 356, from what I last heard, is owned by Janis' sister, Laura. She lives in Denver. The Joplin family left Port Arthur quite some time ago and relocated to Prescott, AZ. Janis' parents have passed...

Hey 58 Port Arthur, eh? Home to one of my favorite singers, Janis Joplin. Her family home was over on Lombardy St. Initially, the Joplins lived on Proctor St. Not much I don't know about this colorful lady. Robb :-)

Charles I think the burger joint you are thinking of is Carl's Jr. I went to school with the owner's son. Robb :-)

Your Stove Robert, I see the exact model stove you have offered on E-bay right now. I just love it!! Happy holidays. Robb http://cgi.ebay.com/1950-1960-1970-VINTAGE-GE-YELLOW-ELECTRIC-RANGE-NICE_W0QQitemZ120200615010QQihZ002QQcategoryZ71251QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Here's mine! This was a family favorite.

Jeff Thanks a lot. I was 11 years old when we moved into that house and there were treasured memories spent there. The saddest day of all was March 14, 1994, the day my mother passed away there after battling breast cancer....a day I will never forget. It was her wish to die at home, the home...

Gary You are always among the first to give recognition. Hey, remember, my birthday is in March!!! LOL Robb

Gary Valiant effort. You tried. Hey, we all know you make a fresh cake each time you post. Opinions are like "noses" (better choice of words...save not to offend anyone), everyone has one. It's how we choose to convey them that sometimes causes ill feelings. Just tryin to keep it light, not...

It's a Kitchen Aid Yep, the DW is definitely a Kitchen Aid. It was the 3rd DW installed since we owned the house. Prior to that, the kitchen was home to a Maytag, which was the replacement to the original Frigidaire. All the appliances were Frigidaire when the home was built in 1963. I have...

This is Amazing Well, it was painful when my dad decided to sell our family home in 1996. We moved into it in August, 1967. After Mom passed away in 1994, he decided condo living was best for him, so he moved to Century City in a high rise, which my brother and I sold pursuant to dad's passing...

Austin Your quote: "What I AM saying, though, is what happened to just quietly removing someone and letting them fade away?" You have been removed, several times. Why is it that you have not faded away? You spend valuable time trying to weasel your way back into a forum where you and your...
