John grew up...a very good kid...in a very bad situation. A Spaniard In The Works I rode for nearly an hour on a bus going from my father's to my mother's with a young teenage girl my age sitting about 3 rows in front of me. She was reading this book and would hold it up sometimes and turn to the side a little. It was the summer of the year that the book came out. God Bless Those National Health Glasses As Well ! //oo\\

Good to see you get back to where you once belonged

Need is the correct word. Take away a teenager's electronics or have them download at 48kbps and see what happens.

Exactly!

It would have been nice if Bush had apolgised 4 taking us to war for no reason...therefore deleting the US economy and way of life for generations to come. But isn't all of it just a Game and all politicians know they are playing, but the working poor don't have time to notice it is all a Game? And the Rich don't care it is a Game? That is my view on the whole world system of Gov't. Back 2 Nick...he is easy on the eyes.

The no shoes that I was stating is around my house ...... when I go for a walk it is regular gym shoes / tennis shoes / sneakers/ all purpose .... what ever you call them in your parts of the world And no shoes on the beach

I'm happy with an Android based smart phone

JordanOnTheRun:

Great first post.

I bet it's his only one and we never see him again. Really worth to register on a Paul McCartney-forum for asking a question like that instead of in a TV-show or computer-games-forum

Then or somewhat in a younger part of my past. The school system taugh Home economics. That was taken out of the curriculum and a lot of the skills that particular course is now missing from some lives and it does show. Perhaps if they improved it and brought it back people would have skills like setting up a budget, and such. love doris

it's called Skills for Living now.

la shana tova!

I always liked that song though I've heard some lousy children's covers. My old Italian boss loved it and everytime it came on the radio, he'd sing it

edcrawf:

Amazing. This is why film preservation is so vital.

I live in the UK but I remember exactly what I was doing, where I was sat and everything about seeing the terrible story unfolding live on the news.

Who, me?  Yes, I was Snow White and my roommate was Aurora, except she wasn't my roommate at the time.  Now, she teaches buxiban English to children.

I used to be an optimist.  I retired recently.

Mrs Pepper, That comic strip is my favorite! I gotta get back here more often!!

It's great, and it explains very well how my brain works 😉

I should not have led off the thread with that story ..... (The Church and waffer thing) because that caused it to take the direction it took .... it should have been more open ended and allowed to go in more directions than it has here ..... a long long long time ago ..... I opened a can of soup to use in cooking something ..... I "doctored it up" .... by adding many cut up veggies in there .... I used the soup can to throw away all the unused parts of the veggies .... I left the can near the sink..... I got busy doing something else ..... later that night I went into the kitchen without turning on the lights .... I saw the can that I left behind .... picked it up and was going to throw it in the garbage .... when I thought I felt something moving in it .... like a mouse .... I threw the can across the room and quickly turned on the lights .... only to see that it was the cut up veggies .... and the end of a carrot gave it the feeling of something moving in it when I grabbed the can and shifted its contents .... silly me .... I cleaned it up .... threw it in the garbage and really felt like the_fool ops:

I wish I could have had you talk to my son 2 years ago! (I tried & he would never listen to me) He graduated from college (here in GA) with a degree in Film & Video and because of his reluctance to move, hasn't done anything with it. (I think he mostly didn't want to leave his then-girlfriend behind!) He does have a job here (in retail) and knows he'd have to quit it to even get any job here in Atlanta in the field as it would all be freelance work, not a steady job. He is also a musician and plays lead guitar & drums--would love for him to get into that if not Film work. He's 25 and I hate to see him waste his life!

I have two kids 25, 28 and my oldest I feel that way. You can't go to school for ambition. My younest is the opposite. She was 5 credit short of her getting AA with honors to go become a Esthetician. I don't doubt she'll make it. I betting she have a salon in just a few years. I did have her talk to someone I used to use. She actully write text books for the schools so really know the inside out of the business. She loves what she does and makes good money. I had her interview all three schools. Just wish she get the AA for the sheep skin. The oldest has never had any zip but she says she happy. I was hoping she marry well. LOL.

I am 43 years old. A VERY young 43 years old.
