Fifty-five years ago today, at 11:00AM (CST), a beautiful bride and a VERY hungover groom stood before the Right Reverends Marx A. Jones, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, in Crystal Lake, Illinois and became partners for life.
It has been a great ride with the usual ups and downs (pun intended), sadness and joy, through the many good timers and a (very) few not-so-good.
Along the way we welcomed a daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter into the family.
Also several beloved dogs and casts.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HELEN!
I know where I'm going when I die.
No, I'm not concerned about heaven or hell.
I know where I'm going.
I'M GOING TO MEMPHIS!

I've donated my body to medical research.
They come and get you.
NO CHAERGE for transport!
You leave no loose strings behind.
No final expense for my family.
When they're done, your remains are cremated and sent to your designated recipient for memorial service or whatever.
Just a suggestion.
How do I get rid of NFL Sunday Ticket screen on YouTubeTV?
Just got a new roku stick and every time I go to youtubetv I get an NFL Sunday Ticket svreen that I can't delete or get past.
Thanks
Any old timers remember The 700 Club?
Many, MANY moons ago, when we were mostly newbies we had The 700 Club.
When you posts hit 700, you posted your ass off to get OUT of The 700 Club ASAP!
For the youngsters, The 700 Club was Pat Roberts' show on the Christian Broadcast Network.
The Deconstructed Turkey
If you roast a whole turkey until the thighs and drumsticks are done, you run the risk of dried breast meat.
This year our turkey has one whole breast, two thighs, three legs, and four wings. I bought all the parts instead of the whole intact bird.
I'll smoke the breast to 155F.
Roast the rest in the air fryer (in shifts) top 175F.
Dry brining all parts.
BTW, I didn't come up with this. Watched "That Dude Can Cook" on YouTube.
Best YouTube food porn?
I nominate Web Spoon.
Best staging and camera work and some really good recipes.
Do we still have Happy Hour in the Lounge?
AKA "The Attitude Adjustment Hour".
We used to, back in the olden days.
There was a jukebox.
And a long mahogany bar with really comfortable bar stools.
I think there were snacks, like pretzels and peanuts?
(Just throw the shells on the floor.)
I dunno...it was a long time ago.
Hoe do you like the new DU format?
Like most of us geezers, I don't like change.
It's hard for me to get used to and use the new format.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it?"
Wanna talk about your grandkids?
Grandson is 21 and a senior at William and Mary. Right now he thinks he'd like to go back to France and teach English for a bit. He's an English major. He spent some time there as a junior and also later with his family. He's a Francophile.
Granddaughter is 16 and a sophomore in high school. We thought grandson was 'the smart one', but she may eclipse him.
She's a dedicated dancer and on the 'dance team'. (I'm not exactly sure just what that is, but I think it's good.)
Also a cheerleader. Just started driving and we're all holding our breath. She's in a Boston suburb and driving can be brutal there. Almost a contact s[port.
That's it for me.
And yes, I'm bragging.
You?
Who is the oldest here?
I'm 82, 08/22/1941.
About three months prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, but I don't remeber much about that.
You?
