I may indeed Ebay them. I have heard of young (0ver 21 but under 40) people coming into 7-11s and asking if old silver dollars are still usable, then buying gas with them (to the joy of the 7-11 clerk), so to me leaving older stuff to a younger relation is a waste of something held onto for decades for the sake of old things.
@ 1to1, I do understand and agree entirely. LoL, you use an alarm watch, sometimes I use a 1907 Rockford or a 1922 Hamilton Railroad watch (as issued to and used by railroad conductors and engineers back in those years), kept on a little chain. They just don't make things like those anymore and to me, there is an intrinsic value just in the old craftsmanship snd the patience and skill required to make it.
Half Dollar coin from before the War Between the States.
The 'guts' of a Rockford (and yes, that is real gold in the lettering). Accurate to at least about a second a month if not better. Back then, in the days of single track rail lines, Sometimes the window for one train to pull onto a siding to get out of the way of another train was less than 2 minutes. Regular pocket watches back then weren't up to the job, so the railroads banded together and paid for a super accurate watch to be developed, made and certified. Being accurate and on time was all that stood between, two trains going in opposite directions on the same track head on colliding, so your Conductor's and Engineers watch had to be super accurate and reliable too.
There is one line you wrote that both jumps out at me, AND would be a true show stopper with me.
"not willing others to see that he is dating my cousin sis"
Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
Anytime a man (or woman) wants to hide the relationship it means there is someone else they see who they are lying to. There simply exists no other valid reason for that stance.
Usha, I am in the habit of gobbling my food for decades and decades. Several times I have had employments where meals were a sometimes thing even on 16-18 hour days, and even if you found the time to order something in a fast food restaurant, the odds of being able to finish it before being called away were really slim, especially if your pace in eating was slow. Indeed there were times when food was ordered but I had to leave before it could be bagged. Just throw some money on the counter because it was being cooked per your order, and go. After about 6 months of this you learn to eat fast and eat big because there may not be a second meal today. Gotta love the microwave in the convenience stores. A big burrito and a quart of milk to go. Many a day in my youth that was it foodwise for the day. Older now, life is more sedate, but I still eat fast. Old habits die hard. Today's dinner at breakfast time was one of my longest cook times. Canned mixed vegtables heated in the microwave then drained, a half pound of macaroni (that was the slow part to cook) with some butter, a can of tuna fish with the water pressed out, all mixed together in a bowl and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Washed down with a half quart of orange juice and coffee and some milk. Consumption time, about 10 minutes or half the cook time. Not pretty but starches and proteins and calcium. :)
Well of course the body reacts to lunar tides just like the sea does. A rhythm that has been around so long we evolved around it. So even rested we yawn at 3am and night workers often have difficulty sleeping through the day because no matter what the boss says, we are not nocturnal mammals.
Ooops, I forgot. This was the breakfast I wrote of above. All gone now. Not my best visual presentation, but trust me all the nutrition is in there. Venison steak (buried under the mashed and spinach) was cooked in olive oil with pepper, a tiny dash of paprika, black pepper, sliced onion and a clove of fresh wild garlic from the yard. Total cook time, 11 minutes. Consumption time, maybe 4. :)
Exercise, get potassium into your diet (banana is good) and as stated always rinse your mouth before bed time with water, then drink a glass of it just before sleep.
Sigh. I don't think the first sender ever gets to read our first reply. I think there is instead a program that monitors the mail and indicates victim #24021 has replied. Send form letter #2.
Male perspective. Put on the slightly, maybe, soiled bathing suit then jump in the water and swim, swim, swim. The motion of the water will clean everything. :)
Place a work, more than one man there wears an ankle bracelet. Possibly unwarranted for some, but better safe than sorry. If the guy you like is covered with tattoos, you may be smarter to look elsewhere, even if the ankle bracelet is no longer there.
The 'missing link' was a 1700s concept. The critter evolved from the gorillas that became Man. A deeply flawed concept as it didn't understand the meaning of 'distant cousins' and how there did not have to be a single common ancestor. DNA and the concepts of A, T, G, and C identification were centuries away.

I know someone like that. At first I was like super angry and it is good the person was miles away when I learned how much was a lie. However with the passage of time, the anger became replaced with sorrow, not for myself, but for them. The more they lied, the further into deception they had to go, and that had consequences when different people and governmnet groups learned of the deceptions. Divorce, child custody issues, jail time, all those things and now a ruined person without their own child and unemployable (regarding upwardly mobile profession, due to the jail time) loss of their home and driving privileges and of course without many prior friends who had believed most if not everything they said. It will (assuming they stop lying every time they open their mouth) possibly take decades to recover half of the honor and respect and good life they once had. Just have to feel sorry for someone who has placed themselves in such a situation.
Well the first time, there probably wouldn't be any expectation. The women are often too jumpy and paranoid on their first visit for anything good to come of a move. However somewhere around the third visit, the guy is thinking, hey, she likes me...
123, suggested reading, the lectures of David J. Bohm of the Oxford University Physics Department. His stuff about quantum mechanics and a holistic approach to the Multiverse.
Owlsway Sigh, you touch upon a blog I am still editing in my head before writing it. The reality is all of us truly are both alive and very much quite dead at any given instant of time.
U wrote about that somewhere. It is in the rules somewhere, one blog per 24 hours. If you violate it, they semi hide the blog. I just view all sometimes because I know how to find what's missing, but a lot of viewers don't.
I am kind of with Budda on that. My reply (if I bothered to dignify it with a reply as the very question sounds so pathetic) would be on the order of 'first right something interesting about a topic I have an interest in, then if I feel like it, I may.' We owe no one our personal comments into their blogs.
The joke is media on VCR keeps or lasts much longer than the same media stored on CD or DVD. This is because the reflective backing on CD/DVD is INTENTIONALLY designed to be of much shorter shelf life and to literally rot away after a decade or two. Conversely magnetic media on tapes, properly stored on edge can in theory last for a century. Maybe longer, time will tell.
A kitten is a good pet. Full of energy and life. After about a year the personality will come out and if you spend 15 minutes a day talking with the cat, it will love you back and teach you to speak cat too.
Well I remember that day. Like you I had been at camp. Ten Mile River BSA camp to be exact. The camping trip ended and we went home. I got home around 7PM and after greeting my parents sat down in front of our B&W television where I remained till the early morning hours and watched in awe.
