Concerts. I know it's THEIR business but I'm amazed at fans..... - Today

That will dish out $$$$$$$$$$$ to sit in the front three rows and then watch 90% of the show through a three inch phone screen. I can see catching a few moments but GEESH! Took my Wife to see Michael Buble, about 10-11 years ago. I KNOW those front few rows were a minimum of $1700 and I saw several people on their phones the entire night.

The cost of concerts is disgusting. Personally, I'm done with them. Even FOOTBALL is headed that way. - Today

I simply cannot afford to go to games like I used to. Concerts??? I am SOOOOO sick of paying $$$$$$$ to sit at the opposite side of a stadium to watch.... A damned replay screen?? U2 in Tampa was my last straw, in 2017. HUGE RIP OFF! NFL games...I have NO idea how someone can afford season tickets for families larger than 4. I know I am ALWAYS on here griping about this. It just pisses me off t

I love all animals. Hard for me to say. - Yesterday

Owls and Eagles stand out. I'm such a softy, I hate the fact they have to eat small critters but it IS nature. I'd rather not see it though.

You sound just like me. I loved the 1976 4th Of July! - 2 days ago

I was 9 years old. I remember the excitement leading up to it. As I have sat around today with little energy, I have thought back to 1976 a few times, wishing I had the excitement and buzz of that day. I remember spending a lot of time with my Brother that day. We too watched a lot of the festivities on TV. I vividly remember the boat parade in NY Harbor. I remember hearing (Because my Brother pl

To think Nimoy had a prior book called "I Am NOT Spock". - 2 days ago

I think he took a while to embrace the role / Character. Eve Plumb (Jan) of the Brady Bunch was another. She HATED talking about the Brady Bunch and "Where are they now" interviews for years. She later got more involved with it.

As much as I love seeing the Yorktown...Right by the Yorktown is the USS Laffey. - 3 days ago

That little Destroyer had a INCREDIBLE run in the Pacific! She was hit by several bombs and a couple of Kamikazes and took on much larger ships. On board, they have a very interesting video presentation on its History.

Lesser known in Charleston, is a Fort called Pinckney Castle. - 3 days ago

Small, round structure in the Harbor, that you pass on the way to Sumter. We were told that it went waaaaay back. Used to hang Pirates there. Last time we went, we caught the Ferry by the Charleston Aquarium. That was 4 years ago. Prior times, with my Dad, we caught the Ferry by Patriots Point, close to the Yorktown. I'm not sure if that one still operates.

It's a good one! - 3 days ago

Hard for me to pick a John Wayne best. I wish he could have had a role in Midway, somehow. I know his health was NOT good at that time. I watched "Fort Apache" just 3-4 days ago. That's a good one. I like Henry Fonda in that one as well. And OH BOY!! Shirley Temple was quite a cutie in that one!

Charleston....You MUST see Ft Sumter and the USS Yorktown! - 4 days ago

My Dad was from Myrtle Beach so I have visited both several times. I LOVE the "Low Country" of South Carolina. Ironically, the drive towards Paris Island is one of the best in the State. Coming through Jacksonville, I would take 295 and circle West of town. That is USUALLY the smoothest sailing to get South of Jacksonville. You will also get to cross the 3.1 mile Buckman Bridge across

NON Touristy Pubs! - 4 days ago

Heard that from several of my USAF Buds who had been there. THE best way to get to know the REAL locals, from what I have heard.

Florida heat n HUMIDITY is a great place to get into shape. - 4 days ago

I am soaked to my socks after mowing for just 45 minutes, between 8 and 9 AM!

They really need to bring back the vans with two guys in white coats, to take people away. - 4 days ago

Made a rare trip to Downtown this morning, to my Pension Office. As I was walking back to my car, I am approached by some guy about 35 years old, who spat on the ground after every 5 -6 steps. As I was about 20 yards away, he starts screaming... and I mean LOUD.... "THE WORLD IS A FU**ING VAGINAAAAAA!!! DO YOU WANT TO SEE A FU**ING VAGINAAAAA???????????" There was a young lady about

What sucks and pisses me off to no end with my plan.... - 5 days ago

So many of the old school Mom n Pop places have become Dives and rather shady. So such a trip will take some luck.

SOME day, as I have told my Wife... - 5 days ago

I want us to tour Florida, via the back roads and Highways. I'm talking Jacksonville to Pensacola, back around and down to the SW Coast, to the Keys and back up to Jacksonville. I wanna see some of the old Tourist Hot Spots from the 1950s, like Silver Springs and Wheeki Watchee Springs. Eat at Mom n Pop Restaurants etc etc... All while not touching Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Daytona.

Just don't go around Wichita Falls......... - 5 days ago

Tying up kids by their Buster Browns!

Wow! I guess my humility with being a chick magnet Kazoo player gets no credit???? - 5 days ago

LOLOL Seriously, I agree with what you said. I actually respect all the Musicians on this board. I joke about the Kazoo stuff. Triangle too (The chick magnet stuff is real!!! Makes Stevie Nicks jealous!) I know next to nothing about playing any musical instrument or the Production behind it all. MANY times, I have had questions come to mind about Music and the Industry. I always find a LOT of g

Alabama. My Brother saw them in the Prime in the early 80s. All he said afterwards.. - 5 days ago

"WHOOOOOOOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I have never seen so many fine girls at a concert, in my life!!!!!!!!" And like Bama, he saw a LOT of Acts in their prime but he always brought up Bama being the best for pretty girls. But he also mentioned what a great show it was. Also...Used to have a neighbor (RIP). A lady about my Mom's age who LOVED Bama. If they were anywhere within driving ran

I never really cared for him. He's a bit of a phony. - 5 days ago

He'll show flashes of outstanding play and then disappear. We saw that during our Super Bowl run. Ramsey was practically a no show the last third of the season. Even before he got to the Rams, I never liked the B.S. he pulled here in Jacksonville. He cannot handle failure very well. When the Jags started to stumble after a good Playoff run in 2017, Ramsey started tossing people under the bus. He

This really sucks to see....... - 6 days ago

STILL not liking this.

My Cubs are doing their usual June Swoon. Cards are much more sound right now. - 6 days ago

Cubs rely toooooo much on the HR balls and Pitching is VERY inconsistent at best.

SST wardrobe??? - 6 days ago

Hmmm. Probably look into that. Thanks. I really miss playing Music Videos... - 6 days ago

Lining up several on a Que. I get having SOME ads but 1-2 between every 2-3 minute video is annoying as hell.

More n more, I'm turning off from just about all "News". - 6 days ago

Most of what I catch is headlines from our local news channel's page. I go there often for weather. Damn near everything else has become click bait or agenda. I'm a Conservative guy. I don't want CONSERVATIVE slants! What is most Sports "News" these days??? Drama! I could not care less about Basketball anymore but I feel for the legit fans of the WNBA. All I ever see is stories of Juven

Speaking of watching old Music Videos... What is the best way to do so these days?? - 6 days ago

My Wife and I used to LOVE to Chromecast Youtube. About 10 years ago, we got on a roll and before we knew it, had watched about 100 videos. Now?? It's an absolute ad fest. I'm done after 4-5 videos. Is Youtube the only way or are there better options?? I'm assuming either way, you have to pony up to not have ads?

Can the Internet get any worse?? Between A.I. and Agendas, it has become almost useless. - 6 days ago

Used to be you had to watch out for those few clips of nonsense. THESE DAYS, it's probably 60-70% B.S. and rapidly climbing. You are either looking at click bait......A.I. absolute B.S. ..... or some media outlet with an obvious agenda. I used to LOVE to surf all over the internet. But these days, you can find better credibility in The National Enquirer. Hell, you can't even play Music Videos wit

In two weeks, I'm getting Lab Work done. My white cell count is down. juuuust a tad. - 7 days ago

NOTHING like a cancer worry or anything like that. My Dr seems to think a drop in B-12 might be the blame. I haven't been check for that in close to 8-9 years. The past 3-4 years, I find myself feeling drained at times. I can sleep well the night before but still feel sluggish. This time of year (Heat / HUMIDITY) really doesn't help. I had been taking Men's One A Day gummies but my Dr said those

I have three Fire Dept Buds who LOVE LOVE to travel. - 7 days ago

One SORTA liked London because he was with a group of kids who were wowed by it. But he, personally, said he's done with London. One guy despised his time in London. Didn't help that he was there when that stabbing attack happened near or on the London bridge. Like my USAF Buds, he LOVED touring the Rural parts of England and mingling in Pubs. The third guy. He and his Wife are both Fire Dept. Th

No. But have always wanted to visit England. London, not so much. - 7 days ago

I used to be stationed with a few guys in the USAF, who did time in England. They all said ...And this is 35+ years ago....London is nothing but tourists and people not originally from England. To get the REAL English vibe, the Countrysides is where it's at. Personally, I wanna see Liverpool. Pretty boring and very industrial. But its where my Great Grandmother was from. Cliffs of Dover would be

LOL Feel almost hungover......When I had nothing to drink yesterday. - 7 days ago

Hate days like this. Happens to me more n more with age, especially in the Summer. Used to hear it ALLLLLL the time when I was a kid...."Wish I had your energy". I used to think what was the big deal?? I TOTALLY get it now.

He was a no show for the last third / half of that season. And now we have.. - 7 days ago

People wondering what we should give to get him?? Rams have already paid their dues for him and got ripped off.
