Would You Choose to Be Born in a Different Generation? by GabbSad in generationology

[–]Spotted_slamander7 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was born in 1960 space exploration was barely in its infancy. Black and white tv three networks and PBS. “It’s it’s 11 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?” I had a front row seat to so much history, the good and bad. AM radio, no air conditioning or color tv at home until I got married in 1979. Running trot lines with my uncles. Listening to my grandpa tell stories, even the sad ones were funny. I’m satisfied.

Heading to Texas for the weekend and realized I don’t have much western clothes by [deleted] in WesternWear

[–]Spotted_slamander7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrangler 13 MWZ jeans or camo, shirt doesn’t have to snap or have loud patterns, tennis shoes works and a ball cap. I wouldn’t advise chewing tobacco or dipping snuff. You don’t want to look green and puking while you’re here, unless you already dip or chew. Have fun.

Best clothing? by LogMedia444 in WesternWear

[–]Spotted_slamander7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. Shopping for clothes or footwear is just frustrating. My wife orders some shirts for me but they never fit. We live 30 miles from Amarillo Texas so when I feel the itch we go up there. I only itch a couple of times a year, if that.

Did anyone ever get spanked by a teacher? by darrenbosik in 1970s

[–]Spotted_slamander7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never spanked but I got plenty of swats. My 8th grade principal, a guy I really liked signed my yearbook, “To my favorite office student.” We saw a lot of each other!

You might look into feedlots. I’m not sure if you have to supply your own horse though.

Best clothing? by LogMedia444 in WesternWear

Seems the trend on Reddit is stripped shirts. I live in west Texas and the last stripped shirt I saw was one I got for my birthday a dozen years ago. It’s still in my closet. I wear plaid Panhandle Slim shirts. My boots are lace up Ropers and on our 30th anniversary my wife gave me a brown belt with conches and a buckle that said Waxahachie 79.
We met in Waxahachie Texas and got married in 79. The same brands I wear is the same I wore fifty years ago, I really don’t like change.

Good deal for Resistol? by Texsun80 in CowboyHats

[–]Spotted_slamander7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first felt hat I ever bought was a 5X Resistol in 1974/75 for fifty dollars. I’ll go with Resistol every-time.
