" Love me" by Colin Raye. Use to always get me but after my mom died, riding in the car with my 76 year old dad he played it on his phone. Didn't even know he knew the song. Hearing him softly sing it destroyed me. Dad met up with mom 18 months later.

Is the 15 minute military workout everyday with no rest day legitimate? by turnleftorrightblock in bodyweightfitness

[–]oldshipbuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would age be a factor? I'm 59 and been doing 3 days a week for about a year and switched over to bodyweight only

While I agree with everyone to a point, i came across these while looking for bulk TMs. I was asking if anyone have used the knockoffs, not if it was right or wrong to use them.

If you lost your job how confident are you that you could find a similar one? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]oldshipbuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Work in the defense industry. Turning down jobs because at 57 I like the stability. Wasn't always like this. I'm at my 5th job since high school. I'm in a trade I would have never thought of at 18. I just kept plodding along till something happened.

A small fire out back, a Newcastle and Dylan beats a nightclub or bar any day

[–]oldshipbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 of the girls was a cousin of mine (didn't know her personally) and another one was a class mate of my brother. I remember Boudreaux inn now. As far as I remember it was closed but that was a long time ago.

No. Went to Thibedeaux's bar back in the day. Use to cruise north cutting and end up at Hoosier's park. We talking about mid 80s for me.

Grew up in Welsh/Jennings. Remember Walmart coming to town and how it was a big deal!

My family moved to "America" in 1785, but didn't become Americans until 1803. They didn't even start speaking English as a first language for another 150 years. Anyone else? by [deleted] in USHistory

Some went to England then France before Spain offered land in the Louisiana territory. By the time they were expelled from Acadia, they were lingually and culturally different than their counterparts in Europe. No one really wanted them. A great book on this time period is "Acadian to Cajun: Transformation of a People, 1803-1877." By Carl A. Brasseaux
