Take a lesson from Arkansas. Last time we were there, and asked directions, it always started with "You go down here to Walmart, and turn...".

I suspect most fathers have had similar experiences. I was raised in a family of boys, and my language was a bit colorful, even after I got married. Our first was a girl, and I noticed her picking up some of it when she was first learning to talk. We were at my Mother and Father in-law's...

In our small town, all though the streets were named, I don't recall any of the houses having numbers. We got our mail at a P.O. box in town, as did everyone else I knew, except maybe some of the very rural farm houses. Footnote: Everyone knew where my grade school teacher lived; she died in...

I'm with you. I never could watch it all the way through. All of the rave reviews must have been an insider joke, because I couldn't see it. Haven't seen Hollywood Boulevard, but did watch Sunset Boulevard. Great movie.

I recall one sleepless night a few years back, watching "Silent Movie Theater" and a movie entitled "The Cameraman" with Buster Keaton. Being silent, you have to concentrate (which I was able to do late at night by myself) and It turned out to be a hilarious movie. Made in 1928...

The town I grew up in, in NW Oklahoma, had a population of less than 300. Everyone knows everybody else, including the postmaster. A few years back, I wrote a letter to my elderly grade school teacher. Not knowing her address, I just addressed it to her in care of the town. She of course got...

This historic barn, built in 1941, is near Ponca City OK.

I'm wondering if that isn't maybe from a motorcycle? Seems to me auto tires were taller and skinnier in the spoke wheel days. In any case, if it's an automobile tire, my guess would be 1920's.

"Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt." – Herbert Hoover

Watched Top Gun-Maverick last night. It was no "Gone With the Wind", but it was worth watching all the way through. I did nod off for about 10 minutes just as the action started, but rewound it enough to see what I missed. I had a little difficulty making the connection all of the characters...

I know one thing; if you grew up where I did, you had better be one tough SOB if you wanted to wear earrings and dress like a swish.

I knew someone would say that! :)

I thought everyone had heard this hit song:

I like it!

I'll tell this story, but in a way it's not the worst Christmas gift I ever got, if you consider that it was from my cousin, who was not only desperately poor at the time, but one of the most gracious, likeable, caring and beautiful human beings that ever lived (RIP). It was Christmas about...

I recall asking my Grand Father why they put lightening rods on their house in the country (built in 1913) when houses in town didn't have them. He told me that you couldn't buy insurance back then if you didn't have them.

You are so right. It's been forever since I've seen a good comedy skit or a good series. I think "Last Man Standing" and "Blacklist" were the last of the Mohicians. The media is too "woke" and too politically correct to do anything funny or interesting. TV was better in the 1950's than it is...

We used to drive by there at least once or twice a year, when we went to buy fresh sweet corn.

Route 66 icon...

I agree. The Elephant Garlic is a bit too mild...but good!

Yeah...or..."Ambalance" and "Po-leece".

That brings back some memories. I bought a 70 Chevy Nova brand new; six cyl, three on the tree, radio (no AC). I'll never forget writing that check; $2,330.00 (company fleet discount!).

Here's to America, the land of the push where a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush but if in the bush a fair maiden stand, a push in the bush is worth two in the hand!

I've heard it a million times. I think it was a product of the times and the very rural area where I lived.

ME TOO! 😄

Wow! Makes me want to walk down that aisle! I notice they are about out of Bad Byron's Butt Rubb; my go to rubb before I came up with my own, which I think is better, at least for me.

Da boid sat on da coib, boipin and boipin and choipin and choipin.

Yeah, it's a typo. I meant to write "grills".

I recall reading this in the Reader's Digest many years ago, and I never forgot it. Seems the author was from South of the Mason Dixon and moved North. He said a saying they had up there was "It'll cost you a nominal egg". It didn't make sense to him, until someone told him that what they...

Garlic is welcome in our kitchen; and as I've gotten older and more experienced cooking, I have discovered that garlic is essential in several instances: Shrimp grilled on the Weber, and fresh corn on the cob, no matter how you cook it: Garlic, salt and butter. Pork of almost every kind...

Here's an article with a lot of info on Grills and smokers: https://www.pelheat.com/wood-pellet-grill-smoker-guide

Well, you certainly have me there. I am completely lost.

My Grandfather was born in the late 1800's in Kansas. He was not an uneducated man for the time; he did attend a business college in Kansas. His family was all from Kentucky and Virginia, and he retained a lot of their speech patterns. Examples: "Fetch me that hammer" "Them little devils...

I have heard various individuals pronounce the word "Business", as "Binness" or "Bidness"

Don't forget...put onion juice on a bee/wasp/hornet sting, and it will stop the pain almost immediately.

I watched "Legends of the Fall"; I thought he was miscast in that move. Very forgettable.

My pleasure. I've been looking at them on the internet; I'm pretty much home bound right now, but I'm going to take a look at one in the store in the near future.

Have you looked at these? They are designed to be much more than just a grill though. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/outdoor-living/grills-and-smokers/charcoal-grills/8047280?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI76zH3ZHX-wIVyhJMCh290AG3EAQYAiABEgLPifD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Rained (mostly drizzle) all day.

They look really good.

I have a friend with and Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker and he really likes it. They make a pretty good quality smoker at a very reasonable price, compared to some of the higher end offset smokers. https://www.oklahomajoes.com/smokers-and-grills/offset-smokers

Yeah, they are fairly new. Royal Oak makes them.

I have a Weber kettle that I use for hamburgers and steaks, and a Big Green Egg that I use for everything that I smoke, like ribs, pork shoulders and brisket, but it is very limited in capacity and heat control is manual. I also have a Weber Smoky Mountain smoker that turns out some great ribs...

Me too!

Although it doesn't apply across the board for every species, there's a phenomenon called "Bergman's Rule" that basically says that the colder the climate, the larger the animal...presumably the larger size reduces the surface area to mass ratio, and thus helps to conserve heat. It would seem...

It's a book full of phone numbers, that my kids sat on, and about the same size and thickness of the Sears and Roebuck catalog that I sat on.

If you're a fan of the Corsair, then I recommend the book written by the test pilot who developed the prototype. His name is Boone T. Guyton, and the book is "Whistling Death". https://www.amazon.com/Whistling-Death-Pilots-Story-Corsair/dp/0887407323

Potted meat. Last I ate was maybe 75 years ago. That was enough. Talk about a colon cleanse!

Head cheese is a gelled concoction of trimmings from a cow or pigs head, that has been boiled down and gelled.

My Uncle was with the 3rd Armored Division during the war, and he was with them when they liberated the slave labor camp at Nordhausen. Anyone who heard his stories would never deny the Holocaust, although he talked about it very little.

Where can you find your number?

You got me beat by a couple of years.

Went to an airshow about 10 years ago; was walking across the tarmac and spotted a B-17 with a sign nearby, which said something "Rides...$180". There was a guy, with a noticeable limp, walking nearby, and I said to him "Look at that...you can get a ride in that old warbird for $180". He...

My sentiments also.

Maybe I come from another era, but I can hear more vulgar language from a segment of Yellowstone than I heard in a month when I did construction work, painted houses or hauled hay. Vulgar language? Yeah, it was used, but not every time someone opened his mouth.

I remember Grandma's headcheese; I also remember the cracklins...a bit greasy, but good!

I agree about the language; I don't think gratuitous vulgarity appeals to anyone of my generation. It's a sign the writers are bored, I think.

Watched it from the beginning. Considering the great wasteland of today's TV, it's about the only thing I have seen in the last few years that's worth watching. As a matter of fact, TV was better from the beginning, when they at least showed some talented performers/entertainers/comedians...

Isn't that what they call "Haggis"?

It doesn't get much better than this! “Stuffed Bell Peppers” 4 medium Bell Peppers 1/2 c. chopped onion 1/2 c. instant rice 1/2 teaspoon each oregano & basil 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (or to taste; more if desired) 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2/3 pound ground beef 1/3 pound sausage 1 -...

I like cabbage, especially with corned beef. Like it simple, cooked with sausage occasionally and even fried. Besides, if you have stomach problems or arthritis it might help; seems to help mine.

Remember my brother begging Mom to make some ice tea; it was hot and it sounded good. He said, "I'm so hot, my lips are all peached and cracked and every thing". He of course, meant "Parched".

You mean the kind that came in a foil envelope and you mixed with with water and heated it up?

"Say, a Democrat is somebody who expects somethin' fer nothin', and a Republican is somebody who expects nothin' fer somethin', an' a Independent is a cat that greases his own car." Brother Dave Gardner. Another of his: "Rejoice, Dear Hearts. Don't you know that a diamond ain't nothin'...

They also found that if they left some scraps of the wire and insulation they like to chew on, at the bottom of the pole or nearby, they took the easy route and went for the bird, er the wire in the hand.

Big garden, peach orchards; and some pear trees left over from the early settlers.

You are a wise Arkie. It's so much easier to keep the conflict at a minimum than to create another mini WWII.

I have two Boston Terriers; coyotes and bobcats like them for a snack if they can catch them out alone. I'd hate to have that happen.

Being predators, they follow the prey. No experience with cougars, but we have bob cats and other predators. I would suggest when you have a problem, look and see if you are attracting their prey and attempt to remove the attraction. Our neighbor used to (no more) put out a lot of corn for...

OMG! My Dad had one! It was a dog!

Good advice. Don't forget an important detail that often doesn't get enough attention...reclamation. Surface mining especially has some drastic environmental consequences, and often ground water, drainage, vegetation, etc. are affected. Used to be they only paid you for the loss (diminution)...

"I'll give ya me affy-davey" Long John Silver to 'awkins me boy.

Last movie I watched was "Starling" on Netflix. It was recommended to me; but I'm still scratching my head. It was interesting enough to watch all they way through, with a good story line, and some great emotional ups and downs, but it was a bit contrived in places I thought. Might give it a...

Law school has been nearly 50 years ago, but as I recall, if you own mineral rights you have the legal right to access them...that may mean access to the surface rights. I suggest you contact a lawyer after you know what they want access to.

Here's to America, the land of the push...where a push in the bush is worth two in the hand.

Yeah, somewhere I have a Beatles lunch box...probably in a safe deposit box somewhere.

You might check with a real estate lawyer; it would be highly unusual for a restriction in a deed or contract to pass to the next owner in perpetuity. I suspect the "no development" restriction would be voluntary, enforced by contract, for a limited time. This is an old common law restriction...

We used to order a take out pizza and take it down to the outside tables at the old Progress Brewery in OKC. They would give us a pitcher of free beer.

I have always noticed how my dentist's office was so light, friendly; people laughing and smiling all the time, so I mentioned it to him, that everyone seemed to be so compatible and happy. He said they interview people who meet the requirements, but ultimately they hire based on personality.

I suspect if you research it enough, you might find a forum where someone has published a copy cat recipe. I found one for Bad Byron's Butt Rubb that was right on.

You and me too. Have a friend with one just like it. He might sell...

Might be a good idea to live there (rent) for a few months to get used to the culture and general overall suitability of the area. He might be ready to come back in a month or two, job or no job. I've seen it happen.

Naw. I'm not very thin skinned, and my sense of humor can only be described as "sophomoric". I think my career and my country upbringing keeps my mind sharp and young...as do my six grand kids!

Leonard Franklin Slye...1911- 1998

Thanks to my irreplaceable TBN friends. You have touched my heart.

I am very conservative; however I am very casual in my dress. I look a bit haggard and frumpy; I'm going through a series of chemo and radiation treatments.

Here's me in my Roy Rogers & Dale Evans shirt that Sharn Jean made for me some time back. Roy was my hero when I was a kid, always admired him. I wore it to the doctor's office recently, and nobody knew who they were! I knew I was getting old, but didn't think I was that old!

Somewhere I have an old DVD tape of this movie that I recorded from the TV. It's the only colorized version of this movie I have ever seen. Oh, I forgot to mention. There's an obvious boo boo in the early part of the movie. The setting, I understand, is the 1920s; and one of the early scenes...

Me too; but I think my all time favorite movie is "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", with Bogey, Tim Holt and Walter Houston. I also liked Picnic, The Shootist, Shane, The Quiet Man, and Sunset Boulevard, to name a few.

Yes!

Don't forget, if you get stung, put some juice from an onion on it, and it will stop the pain almost immediately. Yeah, I was a skeptic and brushed it off as an old wive's tale until I tried it when a bumble bee got me in the palm of the hand.

I grew up in rural Major County Oklahoma, and we had lots of these things. As far as I know, they just lived with them. The would ruin your bicycle tires; we took old innertubes, cut them up and lined the inside of our tires with them and added stop leak worked pretty well. I'll ever forget...

It's possible that what you bought, wasn't what you got. You might check your source. I know when I worked at the lab, they bought a batch of calcite to treat some effluent water, so they tested it when it didn't function properly. I turned out to be dolomite, a Magnesium salt.

Well, if I were the professor, I can see why. Let the Captain hang around with his "Little Buddy" and let me cultivate the two rather fetching feminine members of the group...and wait for rescue!

I have to admit...with some reluctance...I used to watch it all the time. I had a rather strong attraction to Ellie May.

I couldn't find this with Google, but I remember it from the movie, "The Grapes of Wrath". It's a quote by Grandpa Joad...and I paraphrase: "When I get to California, I'm gonna get me a hand full of grapes, mash them all over my face, and let the juice dreen down my chin!" The only other time...

Happy wife, happy life. Happy life, more children!

My guess is that the problem is massive incompetence. For that much Ammonium Nitrate to be stored in one place for any length of time is absurd, especially if you didn't manufacture it and have no clue what, if any, contaminants it has in it. Pure Ammonium Nitrate is generally safe to handle...

Beautiful! My brother lived at Corrales (sp?) until he passed; it was nice there , especially during the balloon festival!

I lived in Albuquerque for three years; about the only thing I enjoyed there was the climate. It was pleasant, even in the Winter, and my allergies were almost non existent...but for an Oklahoma country boy, the people and the semi desert terrain was almost too much. Enjoyed attending the...

We spent a week in St. Thomas, USVI and rented a car there. I was elected to drive, and believe me, it takes all of your concentration driving on the left hand side of the road. Thank goodness we didn't get in any heavy traffic.

Same with TV. Even in the early days of TV, you could find something entertaining, funny, enlightening, interesting or restful. Today, there is not a series worth watching. I haven't seen a good comedy show or comedian in years; they aren't even on TV any more unless you watch a rerun of...

Not exactly a hole in the wall, but the Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo has great steaks and the BEST CALF FRIES in a tri-state area. We always eat there when we are in the neighborhood; and you can always try your hand...or stomach...as the case may be, on the 72 ounce steak...free if you...

And so do green almonds. Cyanide was first isolated by alchemists from peach tree leaves.

My quick review indicated that they treated the reduced Magnesium metal with Hydrogen gas under heat and pressure, and the Magnesium reacted with the Hydrogen to give a solid (or a paste). When the Magnesium/Hydrogen paste is contacted with water (H2O) it releases all of it's Hydrogen plus an...

When I worked in the lab, I heard a small explosion coming from our storage room. I went in, and found a jar of powdered metal (I forget what kind now, think maybe iron) that had shattered and made a mess. The consensus was that it had taken on moisture, formed H2 gas, and blown the jar apart...

We built our house in 1972, and are basically happy with it, although I wish it were bigger and had an upstairs walk in attic. One thing I did later (our garage is a nice 2 car garage) was to build a floor-to-ceiling cedar lined closet on the far side of the garage, with some storage shelves...

My dad called these ball coolers.

Wow! What an amazing discovery! Now if they can just do the same for smegma and the heartbreak of psoriasis.

I think the advice to contact a KNOWLEDGEABLE lawyer is right on. Look closely at the easement; make it as specific as possible. I would limit it to the company only, so they can't let anyone else use it or otherwise abuse it. I certainly would look at restoration and maintenance. I know from...

Wasn't he in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"? Big Daddy?

Same here. Last year I put 400# of Urea on my yard, at something like $18 for a 40# bag. This year, it was $43...so I just let the crab grass take over. Oh, I could have afforded it, but it's the principle of the thing.

I agree...it was a great movie, but it is a bit out of the norm for Andy. I also liked "No Time for Sergeants".

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. Buy the best grade you can; Prime if you can get it, but nothing less than Choice.

Thank you for that. The quote was attributed to Einstein exactly as I posted it. I guess you can't trust anyone any more. I don't know what their motivation was, but it is patently dishonest.

My admonition works in the South, also. I bought a BBQ sandwich in Paduca KY, and a little hole in the wall cafe; my guess is they had some old left over roast that was getting blinky, and they doctored it up with BBQ sauce. That was my second experience; no one had to tell me there was a...

The one thing I remember learning on vacation...If you crave BBQ in a strange town, wait until you find a dedicated BBQ restaurant.

Can't argue with that, but he obviously pulled the pin and let go of the handle. His whole body was fricasseed, and they found the pin and his finger somewhere in the blast area. All I can say is the guy was some kind of a megga nurd if he didn't mentally assimilate the connection between an...

James Lewis? Get away from that wheel barrow! You knows you don't know nothing about machinery!

Watched an episode of "Homicide Hunter" where some guy moved into a house in Colo. Springs, and found a couple of grenades in the garage. For some reason, the guy pulled the pin on one, and just held it. They found the pin, with his finger still in it. Seems as the previous occupant had been...

Exactly. As Alan Ladd, in Shane said regarding guns, "Guns are just a tool, Marian...like a shovel or a rake or a hoe...no better, or no worse than the man using it".

The manufacture of these rare earths, and the processing and disposal of the waste and tailings over the years produced an environmental nightmare. I was aware of this facility back in the 1970's, and at that time, rumors were that the environmental clean up costs would run several times what...

My brother retired from the Albuquerque fire department; among other things, he was the cook, plus he was with the emergency team that responded to the serious traffic accidents. I still remember his description of the motorcyclist who hit the pavement face first, going about 70 mph. The helmet...

To my knowledge, we don't have many dug wells, if any at all, around here. I recall my grandparents had a cistern at their farm house, but no indoor plumbing. We have a drilled well, drilled in the early 70's when our home was built in what was then a very rural area, and it has been more than...

I had some of the BGE charcoal do the same thing. I have only cooked on it once, but don't think I will again. I usually use the Royal Oak brand, but I got a batch that acted like it was contaminated; burned like crazy and gave of a pungent smoke. I never cooked on it, and tossed it out.

My wife has won a few bucks on the lottery, but I suspect she's not won enough to pay for her tickets over the years. My Sister in law won 100k at the casino a few years back. I got a telephone call the other day; apparently I won 2.5 million dollars in the Publisher's Clearing House drawing...

I have seen one of these, but only one. I don't know what happened to them, other than t he depression.

No fight here; I was once a steak purist, and I NEVER added anything to my steak; not even salt and pepper until it was cooked. Over the years (yeah, my taste is fading a bit), It seems to me that butter and seasoning, instead of drawing out the juices, actually enhance the taste. There is also...

Rented a house and stayed a week in St. Thomas USVI a few years back; found out a few things about island life. Number one, in this location the only available water was rain water, so they had a collection system that stored the water in a tank in the basement, and a purification system. You...

This is a repeat, but I'll post it anyway. HOW I COOK MY STEAKS If you have a reputation for cooking a good steak, let's hear it. I have several tell me I cooked the best steak they have ever eaten, and when we cook steaks at the Lodge, some want to make sure I cook their steak. Here's my...

Yeah, I think they were a factory option beginning about 1955 with Ford, but the macho mentality at the time didn't do much as far as paying for the option.

I think seat belts, head rests and turn signals were required about 1968.

I'll accept that challenge...I cook the best steak this side of the Mississippi! No secret; I'll tell you my method if you tell me yours!

I drove it about 8 years, was rearended and totaled.

Loaded and stacked fertilizer at a plant in Trona California one Summer; as I recall, they were 50kg bags, for export, equal to about 110 pounds. I was really in shape when I got home; we worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We called that "2-40 air conditioning"...Two wind wings and 40 miles per hour.

Bought a 1970 Chevy Nova brand new; I still remember writing the largest check I had ever written: $2330.00. It was a six cylinder, dark green, 2 door, three on the tree, radio but no AC.

Was it cooked, or did you cook it?

There is a frozen brisket we buy at Sam's, called Sadler's. It's excellent, and reasonably priced. I prefer something right off the smoker, but this stuff is great, and never tough. https://www.sadlerssmokehouse.com/brisket/

I love those also; however, I do like a smoked sliced brisket and a good Reuben (corned beef) equally as well.

It's a long thread; hope I didn't post this before. I remember hearing of the plane crash; I was at work, checking groceries in a Furr's Supermarket in Albuquerque New Mexico. While I thought it was tragic, I was a 100% country music fan, so it didn't take on the gravity of the loss of Patsy...

I'll never forget my old Erector set...do they still make these?

When I worked for the Health Department, the Radiation service had a set of Red tableware. Turns the red pigment was made from Uranium, and the dishes were "hot" when checked with a Geiger counter.

We did that for years; either raised our own or bought it fresh picked right out of the field, took it home, cleaned and blanched it and put in in the freezer. Still hard to beat, although Green Giant makes a pretty good product. My concern any more, is the GMO products, and corn is one that...

I can remember when you could buy lead based paint; it was outlawed in the late 1970's, as I recall.

Yes! I got eleven "good posts"! I guess the way it's set up I can't give myself a "Good post", but who cares? Maybe I just now noticed it. Thanks everyone, problem solved...as long as you can see it!

How come my posts no longer have a "Good Post" notation at the bottom? It has a "Quote" and "Reply", but the good post isn't there any more. Am I in TBN detention because I never make a "Good Post" any more? :)

We used to live in a Polish community when I was in grade school; great people, family oriented and loved to have fun. The one word I learned in Polish was "Dupa". Heard it a lot.

I understand Tom Cruise is an accomplished pilot; he even owns a P-51 Mustang and flies it well. However, I also understand that the Navy would not allow him to fly the plane in the movie.

Hey, man, no reading involved here, I've lived it. Never bitten, but I had my own "Spider stick" that I kept in the privy. You simply thrust it into the hole and run it around and around until all the little boogers were dispatched. Never forget that sound... I also knew a guy who told his...

You and I are of the same mind it looks like. I like my ribs with a bit of "snap" to them, not falling off the bone over done. No BBQ sauce is needed if they are good in the first place; but Sharn Jean does like Woody's Cook'n Sauce on hers...and it's good, not sweet or salty or too tomatoey...

I sure miss the fried eggplant my Mom used to make. Not to mention the possum grape, dewberry and sand plum jelly.

I know one thing; after a couple of bottles of that stuff, I couldn't get my tongue back in my mouth.

I had a neighbor who whipped up a batch of home brew; he thought putting it on the roof in the sun would speed the fermentation. It did; it ran over, down the roof and off the side of the house. You could smell it a block away.
