    Adjusting to small town life.

    I grew up in a very small town. Yeah, every small town has its share of Gladys Kravitzes who are busy minding everyone else's business. Most people accepted it and just shrugged it off. The few disadvantages were a small price to pay and I cherish my smalltown roots. I had a storybook childhood...

    Adjusting to small town life.

    I'm sure that's much closer. I know the area well. I grew up about sixty miles northwest of there in an even smaller town.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    Hmmm. Fairmount isn't close to 7000. I'm guessing Gas City or Alexandria.

    Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

    I can't decide if it's Ava Gardner or Grace Kelly so I have to list both. Maureen O'Hara runs a close third.

    We could use a chat room on this forum, what do ya say????

    I have no objection to it, but I wouldn't participate. Been there and done that. The conversations digressed into politics and other controversial topics and ruined some good relationships that had been established on the forum. Be careful what you wish for.

    What is your biggest vice?

    I'm impulsive. Sometimes it works in my favor. Sometimes it doesn't.

    Raisin Toast

    I like raisin toast, but prefer toasted raisin bagels. I make my own topping that I like much better than cream cheese. One stick (1/4 pound) softened butter One cup honey 1 tablespoon cinnamon Blend ingredients together. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Spread on bagels...

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    Agreed. You could make short work of that with a nice piece of crusty bread. For anyone who doesn't have local access to cheese curds and would like to give poutine a try, here is a place where you can order them. You might want to wait until the weather cools off a little if you're in a warm...

    The Filson Thread

    Orvis and L.L. Bean are suffering from the same drop in quality as Filson. If you read reviews of products on both of their websites, you'll find many of their longtime customers complaining about the quality of their merchandise. Sigh.

    What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

    Me too. It's amazing how often I think of him. In one sense, he was practically family because he was virtually in my home several times a week for nearly twenty-five years. I was born a nightowl and began watching him when school was out at about age thirteen and everyone else in the house had...

    Your favourite commercials

    I go for the oldies. Here are a couple of old favorites from Alka-Seltzer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErgdUhZteqw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFKifpMtlNs&NR=1

    Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption

    This is near the top of my "books to read" list. I have an acquaintance who had an opportunity to hear Louis Zamperini speak at his church a few months ago and recommends the book highly. I read "Seabiscuit" by Hillenbrand and thought it was very well done. I look forward to reading "Unbroken".

    Chocoholics Anyomous meeting has come to order.....

    In my fondest dreams I jump off a diving board and do an absolutely perfect swan dive into a huge vat of Swiss milk chocolate. In the meantime, I struggle daily to overcome my addiction to Hershey's kisses.

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    Go north of the border into Canada and there will usually be a vinegar bottle on the table for French fries. You'll usually get asked if you want gravy for your fries. Anyone ever had poutine when visiting Canada? It's French fries and fresh cheese curds covered with brown gravy. It's delicious.

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    That is definitely fare for a pregnant woman. It's sort of like pickles and ice cream. :)

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    I eat all of those things exactly the way God intended for them to be eaten- with a little salt and pepper. ;) There is no ketchup in my homemade meatloaf.

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    I should probably post this in the "things forbidden in your house" thread. There is no ketchup in my house. My preference on scrambled eggs is Louisiana Hot Sauce.

    Boots for soggy terrain

    I have a pair of Damned ankle-high hiking boots that are twenty-four years old. They have a Gore-Tex liner and keep my feet very dry in the wettest of conditions. They aren't cheap, but unless you put hundreds of miles on them per year, they will last you a lifetime. Make sure you get a good fit...
