Comments: What movie did we decide to go see? By the way, here is a way we can save some money on popcorn and fry our brains at the same time: http://tinyurl.com/46frwo [sidebar: I hope this link works. I'm experimenting with a URL shortener]
Comments: SNL, Hughes was my homeroom teacher as well and I'm under the impression he did pass away some time ago. Alive, or not, he was a good guy...I remember liking him and his style.
Comments: Just in . . . The next SOC '66 & Friends Get-Together will be on June 13, 2009!! It will be our usual place, the Double Tree on Luna Rd 1 blk down the street from the Omni. I'll post an invite on our Events pg soon. This should give everyone plenty of time to make arrangements to be there & let the kids know Grandma & Grandpa can't baby sit on the 13th of June!   Question - Does anyone have any info on our teacher/coach Harold Hughes? He taught history & was the baseball head coach. Someone sent me a note saying they "think" he passed away some time ago? But to effectively search I need at least a middle name/initial & anyhting else wd be helpful. If you have any additional info abt Mr. Hughes please let me know. Apparently we are the only SOC site that lists our teacher deaths so I have nothing tin which to compare notes! TNX for any info you may have!!
Comments: Sally, that Bishop Arts area you referred to is quite the deal...very impressive. The quality of the restaurants there is comp. to anything I'm aware of. We have two Brits at our company, though they're US citizens now. They speak quite highly of the medical care in the UK. One thing that struck me, is they both think that Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday...no other country they're aware of has a holiday to just be thankful. JD, you probably take this for granted, but I was with my grand kids this weekend at Big Bear Lake (a ski resort). It was their first experience with snow. Watching a 1 & 4 year old in waist deep white stuff builds quite the memory.
Comments: Bay Watch, only guys that hit from the red tees drive a F-150. Look behind you, my guys hit from the blacks and drive F-250's, 4 wheel drive with diesel engines.
Comments: bUTTERFINGERS-Looking for a 09 F-150 Texas Edition in drive today (red would be nice with double T on the back, Oh need the trailer package too. No sissy wheels here please). When I'm too old to fish and golf pull the plug time to go
Comments: Where is my lexus? where is my driveway? This article says the French despise "socialized medicine" . http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92419273
Comments: Pool Guy - thanks for the Lexus. Good luck on the tour.
Comments: This morning I felt the need to blow my nose. I removed a tissue from a nearby box. Holding the fully utilized tissue over a waste basket, I opened my hand - observing gravity drawing the tissue in a downward direction through the circular rim of the aforementioned receptacle of waste.
Comments: J.D., our new President and his group believe that Health care should be controlled by our government. The model Daschel wants to follow is France and England. My daughter has a friend that lives in London. She has 2 toddler girls, and must schedule a apt. 6-8 weeks out. The service is free, the care poor, and most Doc's come from other countries. Private care Doc's are available, expensive and very busy. Daschel, who President Obama tried to apt. to his Cabinet, has written a book on the subject. He has made millions as a lobbyist to the health care industry. He proposes a government oversite committee to regulate costs, procedures, and who gets what treatment. If you are elderly, and the procedure will not insure quality of life, you will not receive it. I'm bringing this up, because if the Democrats are thinking this is how we should live our lives, I have a problem with this. Politics has become a touchy subject with this group. We as voters should discuss the issues, express our opinons, respect each other, and lookout for the well being of our children and grandchildren. These people are making decisions that will affect this country for many years to come. If you have taken the time to read this, there will be a new Lexus sedan parked on your driveway today. And I am joining the Senior Golf Tour next week. Have a great day..... Pool Guy
Comments: Sally there are many interesting places to see and eat at in Dallas. Are you planning a trip to Dallas? I will email you later this week, I've got to get to the hotel. It's going to be a late night.
Comments: James, the airplane was a few miles down the river-- I am at 115th St and it landed in the 50's or 60s I think. What an amazing story! Sandy, the name sounds familiar but. . . I would love to stay there--probably quite expensive though ( I didn't check). This got me thinking-- I haven't been to Dallas since the reunion. I go to Galveston all the time but. . . I have to think of a way. . . So, my favorite Mexican dish is chicken enchiladas with salsa verde and the place my parents would take me closed. Where can I get that? Are there any places to hear country western music? We used to go to the Longhorn ballroom many years ago. What places should I go to?. The NYTimes article was trying to say how cosmopolitan Dallas is but did not get any of the local flavor. We did finally make it to the Nasher but other than that, when my parents lived in Richardson (for almost forty years) we mainly stayed in N. Dallas. My daughter loves the shopping malls since we have none but . . Really! Is there anything in Oak Clff that is interesting? --has to be!! Isn't there a place called Bishop Arts? I would love all the information you can give. I didn't get the condescending tone of the article but I know from experience that what is written about is often not worth doing--and is out of date-- unless it is specifically focused on one thing, such as a partaicular art exhibition or event in town. Best wishes to Bobby, and special thoughts to Karen's mom and Ada Ann (hope you are warm!) and her mom. Actually, at this point so many of our parents need special thoughts and prayers! It is tough getting old!
Comments: Now we do have a problem...go to Drudge Report and find the report on Health Care under this new stimulus plan...wow...if the overseeing body thinks you are to old to get a life saving procedure...you won't get it...sounds like President Hussein wants to get rid of us old people...but it will save money...especially if the old people start dying because they can get medical aid because of their age and life expectancy!
Comments: Happy BD Mr. Bradford...but please stop the bubbly...we need you around...Hot Tubs and booze don't mix.
Comments: Happy Birthday to Bobby Bradford. Sally, How far did Sully and Crew land from your abode in the Hudson River ?? |
