  • Yep, same here. I too "was" on the Atkins diet from January through mid April of this year and lost 70+ pounds. (I was almost as big around as I am tall) There were two or three times that the scale seemed locked at one weight, but after a few d…
  • I must admit that I recall the term beach-combers, of course that is from the late 50's maybe early 60's but for the same short pant leg or high water pants as my grandma would call them.
  • My better half is always telling me about the kids that show up for class ( college) still wearing their pj's - tops and bottoms. I'll have to inquire about their style of footwear. As I tell her, at least they came to class.
  • Since I am closer to 60 than I am 50 - guess I had best be gettin' ready for the new 40's. I can hardly wait to inform my young bride... 40's and 50's have been so much fun I can't wait to see what the 60's will bring.

  • Same in ... very conservative bank in central MO
  • When they make a big deal out of going to a $500 a plate dinner for orphans. What kind a ding-a-ling would charge orphans $500 a plate to eat? When you drive by a cemetery and someone says "Wonder where you have to sign up?" Sign up for what? "T…
  • To cnghr: your daughter-in-law only lives five minutes from her mother-in-law.... I trust that is working out ok for her.
  • Has Ray left again??? I have not been able to view the site much lately and I must have missed Ray leaving. I recall they he left once before but after a what seemed like a long period of time he finally returned.
  • While out an about yesterday morning - I noticed the price for a gallon of regular was down to $1.49.
  • Yep, been hearing 'bout that for some time. Plus about a new group that is being or has formed along the lines of a GPEC that hopes to be able to ensure the price of natural gas will also be controlled. But I can't claim credit for dems as I vote…
  • This is the first opportuniyt for my 19 year old son to vote. As we were discussing the candidates and their platforms last night he commented that when this election first started there were some really good candidates that he could get behind and…
  • This will be the frist Halloween my family has not particated in Halloween in many years. We all four ususally are in custome with the outside of the house decorated as well as in the front entryway. We have always had between 800 to 1200 kids mak…
  • I used to love to go to Overton Park (I think was the name) in Memphis for picnics and to visit the zoo. This was only about 45 -50 years ago.

  • I may just be having another senior moment (or just pleasantly confused as they call it at the home) but I do not recall ever receiving so many phone calls every darn evening from all of the various political candidates and folks coming to our front…

  • ... a repeat but fitting... If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left. With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left. With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left. But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of …
  • With "Holy Cow" it must be about Harry Carry and the Cubbies. Oh well.... there is always the next 100 years.

  • The website at the TPA for our 401(k) Plan is down this morning due to such high traffic. They "hope" to have it back up and running by noon. I signed on very early this morning and the entire Plan account was down 6% from Friday's close. I have…
  • I have to agree. I found it very distracting. It finally quit moving but now it has stated up again!! If anything, in my opinion, it creates a negative impression for Aetna rather than a positive. Don't know what HRHero is being paid to run this…
  • "Very Interesting...." DJIA: Monday closed down 504 at 10,918 Tuesday - closed up 142 at 11,059 Wednesday - closed down 449 at 10,610 Thursday - Closed up 410 at 11,020 If you are keeping count that is still down 401 for the week. I can hardly w…
  • I have always heard that the U.S. is tilted being highest in the North East and lowest in the South West and every loose nut in the country eventually rolls out to California.
  • I too recall the Kennedy/Nixon debates but then I also remember Eisenhower being in office. The first election I can remember actually being involved in was the Johnson/Goldwater. I remember the AuH2O bumper stickers...
  • There are several major league baseball teams that have employees responsible to teach English to their players. Speaking of baseball....how 'bout them Cubbies! Is this they year they finally make it to the World Series?

  • I hate to admit it but Paul hit on the same topic they were discussing on the sports channel this morning. They want all of the players to come across good in the TV interviews etc.. and therefore they need to be able to speak English. Popular on…

  • We have a chili cook-off every year. Every participant is a winner in that we make sure there are enough categories for everyone. Winners are: hottest, mildest, best mystery meat, best overall, best with beans, best without beans, etc…. This i…

  • If I could find my wallet, I would check my driver's license to see... Not many years to go. The 50's have been so much fun, I can hardly wait for the 60's. I'm hoping to maybe have grandkids while in my 60's.
  • but... what color is it?

  • Well.... what kind of sports car did you get that requires this high octain fuel? (I fess up to being a dues paying, card carrying member of the AARP for some time now....)

  • Congrats on your new position. And you got there just in time to root-root-root for the Cubbies...
  • She needs to inform Glass that he can't run the Royals like he did Wally-World. This is not the time for discount players if you are gonna win....

  • Favorite team would be who ever is playing against the Yankees and then the Cards and the Cubbies.
