The finished deal. Amazing! - 10 days ago

GEESH! Check out the details on this 1/350 Japanese carrier Akagi! Disgusts me!! LOL - 10 days ago

I'm telling you guys, this takes incredible talent. I can bend and curve basic rails on ships but that is it. Just cutting many of these pieces off the sprues takes talent. These PE (Photo Etched) brass parts are almost too easy to bend. To cut them, shape them and place them properly takes some doing. Also....Having an air brush is a MUST. I never experienced with that. Probably should have th

I prefer the ORIGINAL and not remastered effects in Star Trek but I have to say.. - 10 days ago

I just watched the episode "The Galileo Seven" and it actually enhanced this episode. Especially the shuttle craft burning fuel as a flare.

Stupid commercials that actually annoy. We had a local News channel do a report.. - 10 days ago

On silly local commercials and their impact. Used to have a Mattress company that had some Owner named "Dr Sleep". He ran around the ads in a white coat, acting over the top silly. At the end of every commercial, he did a VERY stupid dance. The News interviewed him and he was quite serious and not dressed silly. He said the more corny the commercials became the more his business sky roc

I had JUST seen the ad and then commented. - 10 days ago

Had you asked me the name literally 15 minutes later, I'd have no clue. But these ads obviously work....I asked my Doctor a year ago about the ads and she said....OH YEAH! You'd be surprised. Me? I'm going with what it comes down to ultimately anyway....What my Doctor advises.

I caught the tail end of that Eagles game. Often, here in Jacksonville.... - 10 days ago

I'd catch the last of Rams games when the locally shown game was over. Had ZERO idea that that Eagles game was essentially the beginning of NINE years of pain.

Dang it! Have a bad feeling my Squirrel Bud, "Bob" might have been a Hawk victim. - 10 days ago

"Bob" is a Squirrel I have seen in my back yard and within a block of the house. He has only a third to half a tail. When he was small, it was just a nub. Hence the name "Bob". He often comes in our yard and eats sunflower seeds I toss out for the squirrels. BUUUUT...It has been a solid 2 weeks since I last saw him. The past week or so, I have seen a few hawks hanging around.

Hey!!!!! As a Cubs fan, I say you need to watch it!!! - 10 days ago

Because I just about choked on my water when I read this!! LOLOL

Sunday night TV memories. My other post on Columbo triggered this memory... - 10 days ago

And, IMO, worthy of a separate post. Back in the 70s, we lived across the street from my Grandfather . He ate Dinner with us every night. Sunday nights, after Dinner, I would go across the street with him and he'd watch the last half of Lawrence Welk. Then we'd alternate.....Either watch Victory At Sea on PBS or Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. When those were over, I'd go back home and see what w

NBC's Sunday Night Mystery.... - 10 days ago

I can still hear that Erie theme with the guy approaching with a flashlight.

LOL True. But the product. - 10 days ago

Seen that ad 6- 7 times and I have zero idea what it's for.

1990 Rams at Bucs. Came SOOOO close to going to this one. Instead.... - 11 days ago

I listened to it on the radio on Jacksonville Beach. I remember thinking then that it might have been a good game to miss because it was SOOOOO hot n muggy that day! I was on the beach and about to melt. I bet it was very brutal in the old Sombrero (I REALLY miss that stadium!) LOLOL When the Rams had the pick 6, I yelled "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" People on the beach probably thought I wa

Remember this early 70s TV gem?? - 11 days ago

UFO ! My Brother and I LOVED this show! I was only around 5 or so and did not understand the story lines but thought the action was cool. I was actually spooked by the aliens! LOL

What is the point of that Pharmy ad, Austedo?? Why does the camera..... - 11 days ago

follow the lady's Yeti cup???? Hardly paid attention to what the ad was about. Just wondering...WHERE the hell do they find some of the Advertisement Execs???

Saw a interview with Demond Wilson about 3 years ago. Talked about Redd Fox and the IRS. - 11 days ago

Wilson was not very sympathetic. Even as the Interviewer tried to get some sympathy over Fox having his stuff taken away. Wilson said (And I agree 100%). He knew exactly what he was doing by not paying taxes. Said Fox made a lot of money from Sanford & Son but would carelessly blow it on nightlife and Casinos.

Used to get it ALLLLLL the time when visiting family in Myrtle Beach SC. - 11 days ago

LOL My first time visiting my Dad, after I got home from the USAF, I bought a box on the way out. Stopped by a Burger King to get something to eat for the road. Ate my combo and then started munching on the Taffy. LOLOL Did not stop till it was gone. I go SOOOOOO queasy! Made for a long ride home. That was 1990. I think I have had Saltwater Taffy.....Maybe 4-5 pieces since.

I LOVE the coast . Go to the beach often but not sure I'd want to live there. - 11 days ago

Salt air is BRUTAL on everything. Personally, I LOVE breezy days at the beach. But not a fan, AT ALL, of really windy days. I have been out there when you feel like you are being sand blasted. It gets in your ears! LOL

My Mom often asked me and my Brother....... - 11 days ago

Why don't you two ride your bikes to visit Mama Hoke? Our Great Grandmother was in her early 90s in those days. She had a strong English accent (From Liverpool) that was even tougher to understand when she was elderly and frail. I just wish I could have had the maturity to go over there more. Man! The stories I could have heard. Now...I LOVE History and have been fascinated with MY family's Histo

RIP. Actress Lynn Hamilton passed away at 95. She played Verdie on "The Waltons" - 11 days ago

And was also Fred Sanford's Girlfriend. I always liked her.

Any Columbo fans out there? Never watched it when they first aired. - 12 days ago

But since we went to antenna TV and not much is on on Saturdays, I have found myself watching the Columbo Marathons on COZI TV. What I like best is all the familiar faces from 1970s TV. Wife and I just watched a good one that had Johnny Cash as the bad guy.

Sigh. My Son is STILL waiting on the Congressional Inquiry on his USAF MEPS D.Q. - 12 days ago

Gotta be patient. I have heard those inquiries can be slooooooooow. I also can't help but wonder if the current world situation will speed things up.

Watching "Baa Baa Black Sheep" on H&I TV. I LOVE LOVE it when...... - 12 days ago

They show the Corsairs land.....As one is touching down, 2 or 3 fan out overhead. Since I was 9, my favorite scenes from that show. I always loved the closing credits but DAMMIT, H&I promos other shows and puts it in a small box!

LOL MY Mom.....I drug her to a Jacksonville Bulls USFL game in late Spring 1985 - 12 days ago

My Mom HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED football. HATED is not a strong enough word. But it was a really big game and my Dad had to work. And , OH GEESH! It was SOOOOOO hot that day! It was so bad for her that I easily said Let's go, at Halftime.

23 years ago, when the ex and I had just built our house....... - 12 days ago

BY MYSELF, I laid 8 pallets of sod and spread about 9-10 yards of white yard sand......IN AUGUST!! While doing so, I was HOOKED on Minute Maid lemonade. In a day and a half of work, I know I put down about 10 bottles of it, along with LOTS of water. OMG! If I did a third of that work these days, I'd be in the Hospital or dead. About 3 in the afternoon of day #1, I filled out tub with nothing but

Fuss about Jaws when REEEAL shark drama is ignored??????? C'Mon!!! Everyone knows... - 12 days ago

Batman spraying the shark with "Anti Shark Spray" that he had on his utility belt.....from a rope ladder....from the Bat Copter????? THAT was FREAKING DRAMA!!!!! (Drop my Mike!) LOL I LOVE LOVE the Campy ways of the REAL Batman! If it ain't Adam West???? Kiss my a$$! It ain't Batman!

Call me crazy but Sharks and Shark Hysteria after Jaws never scared me. In fact.. - 12 days ago

The first Summer after I got home from the USAF...1990. I was out in the surf with my brand new Boogie Board (STILL have it) when a shark came between me and the shore. He was simply going after schools of mullet and showed ZERO interest in me . I learned at a VERY young age. Maybe BEFORE Jaws.....Sharks do not look for people. They want other fish and seals n such. When I was 7-8 years old and e

Hot weather just wears me down. I'm cynical enough without it! LOL - 12 days ago

By August, I can be a real SOB. It really sucks when you simply bring in 7-8 grocery bags from the car and you REALLY need a shower. We are in muggy mode now but its that ULTRA muggy crap that kills me. Your body literally feels like its suffocating....especially when doing yard work.

Though I wasn't paying attention to girls too much then... - 12 days ago

I thought Donna Wilks was a cutie in Jaws 2. Interesting to know about why she was freaking. Makes me think of Star Trek and The Doomsday Machine. About the time the Doomsday Machine is pulling the Enterprise inside with its tractor beam, it was SUPPOSED to put out a very high pitch / Erie sound. The budget was SO tight for that episode, they had to eliminate a sound effect?? When you watch that

I think of my Great Grandmother...1886-1983 - 12 days ago

She was old enough to remember The Wright Brothers, Titanic, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, First space flights, Man on the moon. I REALLY REALLY wish I had chatted with her more. She passed when I was in 10th grade but had been in pretty bad health for about 7-8 years prior. When she did have all of her wits about her, I was too young to bring up conversation. Was SOOOO glad that my Grandfather w

LOLOL Good ol Mr Spock / Leonard Nimoy used to scare the hell out of me... - 12 days ago

With that show "In Search Of". YEAH....Remember all the Scientist / "EXPERTS" that were saying the Earth was gonna be in Ice Age mode within a decade?? When I watched that particular episode, it was VERY VERY cold even here. I remember my Brother scaring me also.
