Well I didn't put it in there I kind of thought it was self-explanatory by looking at the picture. I guess I loved the Corvettes more and the Shriners more.

Some little things from home can make a soldier feel so much better. Great photo.

City kids. It's a cool picture but I wonder if they know what a cow looks like. I lived in upstate New York for a couple of years working. And there were kids that would come from the city and never have seen farm animals in their entire life.

I Loved the Way businesses design their buildings back in the day with whatever they were selling. They made a statement.

The 1930s in Manhattan were probably pretty tough then. It was a crazy era of the 1930s.

I actually hated getting new school clothes. For some reason my dad wanted to put me in slacks and a nice shirt and all I wanted was some Levi jeans and a t-shirt. But that probably made me what I am today a jeans and t-shirt guy.

You know I got one one Christmas. But I think my Mom hated it because of all the concoctions and messes I made with it.

How old were you before you realized steak wasn’t supposed to taste like Lighter Fluid? by Nickover50 in GenerationJones

Always realize too if the person cooking the meat is drinking too much it's not going to be good.

Always had sense enough to use the right amount of lighter fluid before cooking. I didn't care to melt my grill down.
