[quote=Wallen]I think I just caught the worst case of GAS.

I only have 2 pieces for many years & 4 in the previous 5, but just the last 40 days, it blew to a couple of dozen and i'm itching for more...

I had the same problem when I was younger. Once per year, K-mart would sell well-known watch brands for $29.95 and my wristwatch and pocket watch collection grew and grew. I just got tired of buying watches, so I buy one only when needed now, but I am 84 years old. There is no telling how much $$ I spent over the years. Thank Goodness that is a past problem.

I am much different. I can hardly wait to get out of any sleepwear and into street clothes Thus, I do not understand why anyone would want to keep their pajamas on. If the need comes up to go somewhere, you have to take the time to dress, but I am ready to go at a moment's notice.

What surprised me is that out of the group of twenty-one, only eleven have computers. How can they live like that? Even with a basic Chromebook, they could get and send email, browse the web, and use Facebook and YouTube. I'm not about to start promoting this, but it was a surprise to me to learn that so many are unconnected.

I got started decades ago with the Apple IIe, and I've been hooked ever since.[/quote]

I was employed by United Air Lines, now United Airlines, in 1961 and by 1965 we were using Sperry Rand Computers. There were made by IBM, BTW. My experience dates back quite a bit and I am happy for it. My grandchildren come to me with their problems, instead of the other way around.

Continue reading if you are interested in a little description of the Sperry Rand. The monitor was a CRT, as that is all there was back then, but the keyboard, Wow! It was about 40 inches long and had two sets of keys. The set of keys on the left side was the standard keyboard that we are used to today, but the set of keys on the right side were all symbols that you can only find with ASCII codes. They were not used in my department, but were made to help the "Load Planning Dept." calculate the information needed by the Captain and Co-Pilot for take-off, i,e, speed, flaps and ailerons position, etc. Anyway, it is the only time I had ever seen such a long keyboard. We had this type of equipment for only two years and then we went to a more standardized computer and they were blue instead of the old time beige.

Me too! I mean me either. In fact, a couple of years ago, I asked my wife who are they?

Hi, Jerry,

There are two sets of 3 dots near the top that are referred to as "More." The "Click Download" is in only one menu, so click of the one to the right of the reply arrow symbol to see it.

Your images are beautiful. Such good work. Thank you for sharing. They came across to me when I needed something beautiful to appease and rest my mind.

I live in the land of watermelon. In fact, a family of mine that lived in Jasper County, GA, grew acres of them, but I can not find the old fashion watermelons anywhere now. The ones you see now are what I call man-made. Produced to have little or no seeds. They are smaller and do not have as good of a taste. Man has destroyed a good thing and the general public has accepted it. I miss my big watermelons with seeds.

More trash from a displaced Yankee.

I went Culver's one time and counted it as two trips. My first time and my last time. They are awful and expensive on top of that.

Great idea. Thanks from an 84 year old that still thinks young.

My wife is going to France and I need to buy her an easy-to-use, point-and-shoot camera. It will probably be a one-time use, so I am hoping for an inexpensive one. She is leaving in early May so I will need it quickly.

I will appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks, Jimmy

Will Trent, GBI Agent in Atlanta, GA has some good stories, but the acting is not up to standard.

Yes, I think that this is a new gimmick of car companies now, to make you wait and wait so that you will buy another car. I have been waiting on two new seat belts for my Buick LaCrosse for two months. My car rental policy did not last that long, so I am in possession of one car and that is quite an imposition for a spoiled car driver with family.

Yes, they are that good when served fresh and hot, yum.

They finally came to Georgia and After trying their food and service, I wish they were passing through. Ugh!
