    Trains

    Traveled from San Antonio, TX to Atlanta, Georgia in 1954 when I was three years old. I still remember it and have remained a railfan all these years. I watch train videos on you tube and my favorite channel is Jawtooth.

    A story about a bully from my school days

    I loved your story! I was bullied all through school in the '50's and '60's but as I was very shy and afraid of them (it was a group of seven girls) I always hid instead of standing up for myself. I now wish I had stood up to them. You did an excellent job with your story and I would love to see...

    'Tis Confusion (left vs right and others)

    I also get left and right mixed up. I was ambidextrous until I was in first grade but was made to only use my right hand to write in school. It was considered a handicap to be left handed in the early 1950's so all left handed students were taught to write with their right hand.

    Dream Car

    Love the old Vettes. My first car in 1967 was a '66 Stingray fastback. Milano Maroon with a gold interior. 327 with 350 horses 4 speed. Edelbrock with Holley 4 barrel. 10.5 to 1 pop ups with Cyclone headers. I used to street race it on Friday nights. That's where I met my husband. He had a '67...

    Dream Car

    I love Willys but I also love Anglias. With a super charger sticking out of the hood. I used to love watching the AA Altered classes before they were banned. They were really wild! In the 60's when most of the girls were at the dances, I was at the track. Maybe that's one reason they called me...

    My food tolerance is decreasing?

    My husband and I both had covid last year. Since then, our tastes have changed dramatically. He used to love bananas, avocados and chicken. Now he can't stand any of them. I used to love sautéed mushrooms, hamburgers and spaghetti. Now even the smell of them puts me off. I had a mild case of...

    Dealing with general practisional prejudice

    Suzanne, I have had type 2 diabetes for 20 years now. I am 70 now and was 50 when I got it. I wasn't overweight and it was not in my family but I got it from a med I was taking to prevent migraines called Inderal. It's a beta blocker and it raises your blood sugar and over time causes you to get...

    Independent Contractor

    Have you thought of hotshot? When the oilfield was good all you needed was a dually or 3/4 ton pickup and flatbed. You hauled everything from drill bits to BOP stacks. There's not much going on in the patch right now but maybe construction? It's typically for when a company needs something ASAP...

    Would This Bother You?

    I actually find great comfort reading about Buddhism. I have several books by Thick Nhat Hanh and HH The Dalai Lama. The problem is I have been isolated for too long and don't know how to respond to people but then I never have. When I married 43 years ago I took over the ranching while my...
