1968 Chevy Impala in high school drivers ed class. I had to parallel park that huge car to pass the drivers test to get my license, and I did it on my first try. Now I doubt I could parallel park my little Toyota Corolla.

learned to drive a stick , in a Milk Hauling truck in a 1959 International Double Clutch , when I was on the milk route to the farms with my cousin learning the route a the same time . He only went once with me , he didn't like my driving , LOL. Eventually I got upgraded to a Peterbilt with air ride , loved that one . And later my cousin put me in a Kodiak , a tanker with automatic transmission

a 1948 Chrysler. It was like a tank and had a stick shift which you only use 1 shift to 2nd & 3rd shifts. It only had 4000 miles on. I drove it another 3s years.

Growing up in the 1960s (England) my mum spoke of the "horse-road" not the "road". An expression inherited from my grandparents. Past the 1970s she probably discarded it though

"Oh..no you didn't!

Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Isn't that feeling rough? Often brought on by over imbibing

I'll write to you..

I remember discussing with my grandfather in the late 1960s the expression of "feeling tough".
Then it meant feeling powerful, unstoppable.
In my grandfather's younger days it meant feeling ill.

Okie Dokie

Thank you

I read today that he turned his life over to God and changed everything about himself.

Could not have said it better myself laura.

Guess some people have never made a mistake in their lives or done something others didn't like.
A person can't even R.I.P w/o someone throwing up there politics'.

I agree with you. He did some mean and racist things. While those thing were bad, he has a mixed legacy like most of us. Remember someone who died needs to include the good and the bad. I also think his support for Trump was not his best moments.

I went to a couple of his concerts in Rochester in the early 70's before he was well known. He and his brother Gap were incredible.

Yeah some People are without any faults so they have to mention everyone else's faults, just right after they recently passed. Just a shame....SMH

I too will miss the Hulk...he had a good heart and even Turned his life over to God, even got baptized too. So I am sure God has forgiven his sins but I see some cannot..SMH

Oh man I loved Chuch Mangione, have a couple of his LP's still. And you are right he did a lot for his community.

Losing some greats here, make ya think..We are never promised another day!!

Connie Francis passed on July 16. She is known for songs: Stupid Cupid, Pretty Little Baby, and Tiny Bubbles, just to name a few.

A lot of big losses so far in 2025

If you want to talk about a really great person who did a lot for his community, Chuck Mangione also died yesterday. He was a great jazz musician and philanthropist.

Sometimes with ozzy and hulk dying recently. We only see the public persona and personality and not the real person for what they stand for or who they really are? You can judge them for what they do in public but we do it all the time not knowing the real person for what they really believe it! I'm guilty of it myself. Ozzy was married for a lot time and good father and told his fans at concerts, I love you many times. He don't sound like a prince of darkness but sang music like it in heavy metal as his public imagine says.

I remember going to Shea Stadium in New York City seeing The Hulkster wrestling.. My husband loved wrestling and we used to go to most of the matches that went on in the New York, New Jersey area..

That is such a mean thing to say. Yes we know those things about him, but we're trying to mourn his passing just the same. The man just died. And there are good things that we remember him for. Let God be his judge.

If you knew anything about his life outside of the wrestling ring, he was most definitely not of "good character". Even in wrestling, he was a union buster for athletes trying to get better conditions & health benefits. He made very racist remarks and was recorded freely using the N-word. I think a lot of people are mourning part of their childhood with memories of him and not the real person. Sometimes our childhood idols don't stand up to grown up scrutiny.

Six yrs longer. It is amazing.

How amazing that Ozzy lived to be 5 years older than him.

He single handedly made the WWF what it was...an iconic wrestler and great character ..

It's a sad day I can't believe. Watched him and he was a great wrestler .

R.I.P ... The Hulk passed away this morning at age 71.
I watched him for years on wrestling.
Prayers for his family.

Nice guy, great and awesome creator of heavy music but bad role model lol I remember "Ultimate Sin" song in 1986. Story of his life, ultimate sinner, but great musical genuis!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, when I was 18. Drove 50 miles to see it. I'm so freaked out that all the way home I kept checking the back seat. The next morning I'm telling my dad about the movie while we're driving to drywall some new apartments in a very rural area. He was at one end of the apartments and I'm at the other. Then some dude on a motor bike shows up and starts jumping the mounds of dirt all around the apartments. I go running to my dad an he's peeing his pants laughing. We went home. (Apologies for the long post)

I'm with you, laura lee. That movie terrified me.

Afaik there are three buttons, each one held by a senior member of the US Goverment, & two of the three buttons must be pressed for the launch of nuclear weapons to happen. Idk what are the UK, French, Russian, Chinese, & Israeli (?) protocols for a nuclear launch. Given the stated intention of the IRGC to destroy Israel it is unlikely that they will build in any restrictions or safeguards to prevent use of their nukes should their supreme leader decide to launch. The operating assumption of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) is that nobody wants to die & will therefore be most reluctant to make the first launch which will doubtlessly trigger retaliationry strikes that will assuredly destroy the initiating country too. The entire basis of MAD falls away & ceases to play any role when at least one party with nuclear bombs does not value life as Westerners do. Islamicsts from various organisations have repeatedly stated that they love death more than Westerners love life hence the preponderence of suicide bombers in their ranks who have detonated explosives which eliminate themselves

Milestone Events is a good spot for announcing these tragedies. Many are done on this DB as well like you just did.
For inquiring about missing players The Side of the Milk Carton Club is a good resource.

After the motley crew that had their slimy fingers on our button from 1995 'till 2000 with no occurrence of global thermonuclear war I realized that chances are we will survive anybody's possession of nuclear weapons.

Did you not think if or when Iran developed a nuclear bomb they would not use it ?

To be a bit more specific, driving a manual transmission vehicle.

Do you not think if or when Iran develops a nuclear bomb they will not now use it ?

or possibly increased the chances of one

It probably stopped a nuclear war.

I don't think Israel was in on the bombing of the supposed nuclear sites but they've been involved in the lead up to it.

A dangerous escalation

It wasn't only the USA, BUT Israel was with that also.

solution to the problem eliminate all humans from the entire world and then no more war or bombing or fightinh or anything world peace then will be

fixing a problem that enabled Iran to this point , by 3 D's , 1 SoS and 2 different P's . Now you can moderate my Post , for it being on the wrong board .

I did and now I will apologize for my action and own it

That would so amazing

Lol hi! Im talking about multiplication table. I think all kids should memorize them up to 12 for everyday use. That's all. ..lol maybe I'm the dinosaur!

I am that dinosaur that you haven't yet met.
I must admit though that I do use a calculator for the more complex problems.

Agreed !

I am a little late on the subject but..I agree with you in that i haven't seen or met anyone that does math in their head anymore...everybody just "whips out " their cell phone to use the calculater app..it's sad..an alittle scary!

Lol happy dad day

(Shared with me) This Father’s Day, give thanks to your dad for bringing you into this world, because your mom probably wasn’t even in the mood.

Isn't everything already retro? I haven't seen anything "new" or "eye opening " in years!

I agree with this for sure. It has to stop.

We had dial up telephones hanging on the wall, phone booths, different ways of listening to music, streaming on our TV's, not to mention clothes, hair, etc. It's hard to think of what might become retro that we take for granted now but I'm sure there will be so many changes, everything now will seem retro.

I've no idea what any of this thread means, most of the entries have no relevance to anything posted before or indeed what the original post meant

Cool!

I think so....

Are you two done? Lol...I'll wait! Have a nice day!

Ok. So I'm not quite all here. I was looking for someone else to have posted the two-parter. I'm too tired (sick) to try & figure out why.

Amen to that, without hesitation.

hating anyone who doesnt believe as you do. this has to change

I think I was clear: Anything that is popular now, is bound to be consider retro by some future generation.

I only see that split in your entry.

1. What is popular now
2. that future generations will consider retro

Oops, it seems I went to another thread.

I don't see a second part to the question.

Combustion cars we drive...within a decade or so driverless electric vehicles will be the norm..

The 2nd part of the question is redundant. Just "What is popular now" should have exactly the same answers.

The term "woke".

I'm afraid I disagree. SOS has endured since WWI.

Social media...people will eventually realise how moronic and damaging it is and move away from it....

What isn't?

Some people sign up for far more games than they have time to play, I wish I knew why

Each game we play has a 'clock' for moves.
It is our 'clock' and we can choose when to move.
Also, people who rush you to move are cheating; trying to make you 'Blunder',
they want to win the game.
It is your clock and it is 'YOUR Choice'.

Nobody sits idle here. We can play a lot of games, and there's discussion boards and clubs to talk in. I just read the newsletter and that probably took half an hour. Just because we don't look busy doesn't mean we aren't.

i just dont understand why people come in here and sit idle or whatever when they can see they have opponants in here and dont play or update the games... this is a game site ppl not a come in and leave ur nick idle while u go do whatever you do.....

There are two separate banners. One is Bloomsday and the second is May the Schwartz be with you - this latter one flashes back and forth between the regular GT logo.
Today you are seeing 2 logos, Bloomsday & Schwartz because both are scheduled to be shown on the same date.

????? why is it flashing , but not continually (Bloomsday amostly)

Yes we had the same issue last year.
Today is the Lilac Bloomsday run, held on the first Sunday in May in Spokane.
It has no relationship to Joyce other than the name

When I was a young boy (early 1960s) there was a Neisner's and Woolworth's a block apart in downtown Massillon, Ohio. Both were 5 and 10 cent stores and had snack bars inside where you could get breakfast or a hot lunch.

Yes June 16th. Not sure why it was cited as today.

The graphic on the banner today is sometimes a picture of James Joyc, with the tooltip reading 'Wishing You Te Happiest Bloomsday.' I didn't know what this was so I looked it up and apparently it's in June, not May.
