Maybe went to Rock Away beach. area.

I didn't type everything I was thinking. The free admission was at Silver Dollar City. The few shows in the area (Shepard of the Hills play, Bald Knobbers, 1 or 2 other things) weren't free. Never cared for Rock-a-Way Beach, always had more fun back home in Springfield.

America is the name of the continent, as in North America, Central America, and South America. All residents are Americans, whether you live in Canada, or Chile. So, to be more accurate, it is more common to see U.S.of A. as the country.

In diplomatic circles, the residents of other countries on the continent sometimes get riled when one suggests they are not "American."

The first time saw the Sheppard of the hills play Actors spoke there lines not a tape and they also were college studants. They fired up the steam engine and ran it before the show. And the "Panther" was shot out of the tree on to who ever sat under the tree.
That alone was worth the price of the show.
The Bald Knobbers had a good show as well. and owner of most of the land along 56 hwy.
Getting old when remember when they were kids.

When you remember 20 cent/gallon gas & "new" Ford F100 cost $3000! My first job was @ $330/month (lumber yard). ~~ grnspot

You stroll past the Apple store in the mall, it's packed full with people a$$es-to-elbows, drooling and slobbering all over the displays and wonder what the big attraction is.

I like Gala apples but I never get excited by the displays...that would be just weird...

It is long, and starts slow, but worth the watch and listen. This lady pretty well sums it up:

Getting Old = Mary Maxwell

i had good reminder of my age this weekend you know your getting old when you roll out from under youe car truck or tractor and got to grab hold of something to pull yourself up on your feet

Not at all, seems since I retired it is impossible to buy anything under $50 and most are $500. Replacing the cap on a fuel tank cost 50 but at least it was a new part that I got.

 

[taogden]

Nope.
prices have gone crazy on EVERYTHING! The aggrevating part, is no one on the news is saying a word about the inflation, just here them talk about how the economy is recovering????

Really?

Try buying electrical wire.

I am looking at it, getting prices on 3500 feet of 3 phase direct bury for the sprinkler system, wow, what a shock that has been.

lol good one...
Or like me today i actually had a Home Depot employee follow me to the car. not to think i was stealing but he helped me load some cement..Nice guy and Good service there..

Had a little gal following me on the slopes when skiing with the kids, she kept watching following everywhere I went, thought wow, awfully cute to be a stalker. Followed the son up to one slope, green, started down, dang thing changed to black and had the Oh Boy feeling in the pit of my stomach and made about 200 yards good before losing it and pegging myself to the slope by one ski with the other sliding away down hill as well as my pole. The little gal slid up, I put my glasses on, and she was cute, real cute, around early 30's. Asked if I was ok, needed help or anything, I asked her if she could run down and get my self respect, I think it was down with the other ski, she laughed and then I saw the emblem on her jacket, she was ski patrol. I asked why she had been following me around, she said we always follow the old folks around in case they get hurt. , where's that son when you need him, looked like good daughter in law material to me.

You think you are getting old when you forget to zip your pants up. You know you are getting old when you forget to zip them down.
