Do you believe that a 1/4" thick slice of Texas Sweet 1015 Y onion is an acceptable substitute for the lettuce in a BLT? Your man card may depend on your answer.

I use both, myself, plus jalapenos...

My childhood companions.

Just childhood?

I remember when these came out when I was a kid!
Everybody had to have one, and you were a nobody on the playground if you didn't!

That's the one that replaced the Pennsy Pinkie balls that were down here... same size with some heft.
One guy on each end of the block with one in the middle to intercept or grab the errant bounce before it took out a neighbor's window, or made things interesting when slammed into the open underside of a roof structure.

Wifey is home with me for the evening so I can take her for a doctor appointment tomorrow. We should get the pathology report tomorrow. She will spend tomorrow night at my folks to finish up her Tuesday morning dialysis appointment. Then she is home for good Tuesday after her dialysis. She has made some good progress this weekend. Still has some pain, which is to be expected, but she refuses pain meds because the pain meds bother her more than the pain.

Thanks again for your prayers and kind thoughts.

Just pretend this is hwitty.

I had a teacher that moved her big metal two door cabinet away from the wall and moved my desk behind it so that the only person I could see was her. The only person who could see me was her. Apparently, she was tired of me entertaining my classmates. No cap. No stool. No circle. Just solitary confinement.

Nobody knows...the trouble I've seen...nobody knows my sorrow...

Just pretend this is hwitty.

I'm also a big fan of any Auto Racing. Loved the Indy cars back in the 60's. I watch it from time, now days! The STP turbine car was always cool!

For about a year or two my buddies and I went to a number of road courses to watch. Mid Ohio, Watkins Glen, Indy...I always preferred the road courses to the ovals.

We lived at the top of a hill and could see the road about 1/4 mile below us. Couldn't tell you how many of these I lost trying to hit one to the road with a baseball bat.

Hey loknload, After listening to all those "one hit wonders" I'm sure glad you are not one of them. From you "the hits just keep coming and coming".

This is me leaving a tip. Math...yuck.

In second grade the teacher would just put me in the paper storage closet by myself, that was my solitary!

walkinghorse - 3rd grade "attitude adjustment" session:

Guess I should mention why I 'stayed' in trouble. We moved a lot, so was always the new kid. I started school (1rst grade no kindergarten back then) at 5. Somehow I was jumped several grades, so was out of synch in multiple ways. My Mom claimed advanced, my Dad said ( can't say that here )! Have always been big ! At the time I was in school everyone who was left handed was forced to be right handed. Multiple ways, some not so nice, were used to force right hand use. Did not work with me, and as the academic side was way to easy, no one could use grades against me! So a contest of wills! Became a game with me. Times were different in the very early 50's. No PC, just a contest of wills!
And after 2 years it was time to go to another state, another part of the country, where it started again?
My Dads last words to me was a question " Did all of the moving around make things better or worse?" Answer was "Made for a lot of learning independence which was good". So stubbornness, dislike for bullies, and tweaking rules is an acquired trait.
Interestingly enough, a childhood friend when we were in Maryland was from Staten Island. He was a new kid also, only there for the same short time and though much smaller, had a deviousness that I think is learned in NYC. We made a pretty good team against the others! Circumstances moved both families away and never heard from him again! Hope his memories of our time together are remembered with the same respect as I have.
