Thanks kerry and Bellin ! It looks like a rag top too !
Whats funny up there in Appleton Bellin LOL
No snow here either :-)~ so there bellin
yes you wasnt cool unless you had a cigarette hanging out of your mouth - isnt it cool how every generation has their own fad
No guy was cool without the cig hanging out for a photo us girls hid ours LOL
And now us smokers are treated as lepors !! sp?
Boy isn't that the truth how did we all live from unsafe toys to parents who all smoked we all smoked we breathed asbestos and ate lard ect . We should all be dead we just don't know it I guess Hedge :-)
Don't forget the lead chips...they were great with sour cream.
"Lead Paint Chips"
yes we ate lots of lead good grief maybe we should book our plots now hedge LOL
All those "dangerous" toys I consider educational toys.When your finger got pinched in the spring pony spring you learned a valuable lesson!As I've stated before...Pain is an excellent teacher!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL Bellin !
Yep get your foot trapped in the spring of the pony and fell off you learned to ride it Hedge and I learned if you stick your finger in a outlet it shocks you bad ! Never did that again !
Hedge and Mani , we called them growing pains at our end of the world. tipping the swing set was always good one also.
Yep our generations way of weedin out the dumb ones.They didn't live long enough to reproduce!Of course a few got lucky !!
Yes those sets that you could push over kerry . What world do you live in not the same as me and hedge LOL ??????????? You said in your end of the world :-)
Yes a few got through Hedge but I think we are much smarter in common sense then new generations . We learned by thinking things out no PC google for us :-) But kerry on the other side of world may have an advantage because he has to hold on so he doesn't fall into this side :-) You guys are funny and it is refreshing !
Oh geez kerry your living just under my state LOL I could knock on your door . I lived south of you for a few yrs in Arkansas in the back woods . It is beautiful there are you in south Mo ? been threw there many times ! I just looked I thought maybe you were in South pole :-)
I should have put it a little different, but then again, most of the people that know me well, have always said that I live in my own little world, lol
I find that's the safest place to be kerry...in my own little world. Can I visit yours some time?
Lived down south for several years, now just a north-western Mo. dweller, closes bigger burq is 20 miles away and they got running water there, lol
Anytime Hedge, drop in and we'll smoke cigarettes and drink some barley-pops.
Mani and her hubby, the once a leatherneck always one,
are welcome to ride in too.
I'll throw on my steel towed shoes,mount my spring pony and be right over.I'll bring the chips !
Can I come too ! But skip the barley hops I had some once in Arkansas wowee a sip of that will put you into another world now I get it LOL
Live in my own world too been there done that now I just figure I am what I am and can do it my way . I am a good nurse and was vaccinated for leprosy too ! So Hedge not to worry about being a leper :-)
Bring some Looney Tunes band aids Nurse Mani in case my pony throws me.
Heck yes Mani, I sent you and hubby invite, once you ford the creek, go about half a mile along the ridge and you'll see the still, once you get there turn due south and back in the oak grove sets the house, don't worry about the dogs, they be freindly.
BELLIN you have a standing invite too.
I knew it !! The dogs are gonna spook the pony.Bring the big band aids Mani !
We can both fit on the pony BELLIN.You got steel toes?
I aint never gonna get past that still.
ROTFLMAO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Love the 50's ragtop cadilac!
Love the 50's ragtop cadillac!
Gee I go sleep and you all partied all night LOL I need to oil my pony and go in basement and find those old loony white band aides ( we called them straight jackets :-) But we can call them looney tune band aids I will pack several and be on way if my pony has any get up and go left in it . When I see copper I will turn by that tree or maybe bellin can swing by and get me on his way he has to pass by here . Poor POP he can't come he lost a needed part of anatomy to ride a pony last night LOL
Thanks official ! The man on car would have loved the fun he created he was a character .
After hearing about pop I'm gonna sign my donor card!! A man ain't a man if he can't ride his pony !!
Hedge we were supposed to turn those in after living through all the toxic elements we grew up around but who wants are parts after all that ? . Poor Pop he laughed off his backside lastnight so how can he sit on a horse ? :-) geez did you see the post I have at 11 mo I got a horse that could have shot me clean to the neighbors house never mind a electric hot iron :-) How did we live ?
