You know what I like about Chicago? It has viable, identifiable, bona fide neighborhoods. You can live on any number of residential sidestreets, in just about any section of town in the city...

I am cracking up, too - I forgot about being told to behave or be sold to the sheenyman! I remember our sheenyman as a grizzled old guy who drove his horse-drawn wagon down the alley between Georgia...

Well, seeing as how I already don't have long distance on my land line... I have basic phone service primarily to have the DSL. Now that Bomb-blast - excuse me, Comcast - has so graciously chosen to...

OK so maybe I won't feel entirely totally dense asking this question; ty for the 'be kind' request, bobl, because I do fear I'm more dumb than I pretend to be.

I presently have a landline and...

I heard Fred Upton on the radio yesterday... he said the official amount for Cash for Clunkers was $4 billion, but only $1 billion was funded. So, program might continue........ and for sure, not one...

As of yesterday p.m., every Chrysler Dodge dealer I contacted was pretty much out of everything worthwhile, and I'd e-mailed several. Meantime, I have been test-driving various used vehicles to see...

Match number went down to 14 when I filtered by price; and to fewer still when I asked for manual shift [[which is a preference, not a requirement). But THANKS! because I've shot e-mails to the...

Today is the first day I could take advantage of the Cash for Clunkers deal. I've done my homework on the couple-three models I like. I'm preapproved for enough loan to cover the vehicle I...

The word looks Viking, spelled that way... like it's the surname of Thor, Norse god of thunder. Perfect fit.

BTW because of a typo on a package 30 yrs ago, it's 'mariglods' that I plant in my...

I will be eligible for $4,500 because my old truck gets [[per cars.gov site) 16 mpg. All the vehicles I researched, and I tried to compare apples-to-apples with engine sizes, transmissions, etc.,...

Hmmmmm regarding the scam on the cash for clunkers thing. I was going to hit my local dealership[[s) Monday after work - alone - to test drive any one of several choices winnowed down by several...

Oh, thanks, now I'm going to be singing this all day. LOL

The first time my older son saw a pizza with sliced black olives on it, he gasped, "Blueberries!" So ever since, pizza with black olives is blueberry pizza [[and he's 24 now). The same kid came...

Good morning, Tponetom. We've not met but I read your essays and I think I like you... if my father had lived past his mid-50s [[died 1982), I suspect he'd sound a lot like you, in writing. With the...

I don't know what cable station my kid had on not long after Billy Mays passed, but whichever it was blared out one of his ads and caught me by surprise, too. I was thinking they were being pretty...

Mama mia, I did not see this thread sooner. Probably just as well. Meantime, I was just lamenting how I can't go see the one guy for whom I would've gladly been a groupie back in the early 70s......

Duh, Bobl, it only takes me re-browsing days later to realize we may have been neighbors at one point or another. The only school I attended was EDHS because I was 14 when we moved there in 1968...

Somehow, reading this thread, what came to mind is how foam soap has replaced liquid soap in numerous restroom dispensers. I figured out why, because I decided I liked foam soap and researched how...

Yeah, as a former East Detroit resident, I thought the name change to "pointe" was ludicrous and superficial. Heck, it's not even really east of Detroit.

It would've been better [[IMO at the...

Tomorrow at 6:34 am, it will be exactly two years since I quit smoking. Not that I've been counting the minutes. I quit for the same reasons as Linda from Detroit, though my dx was COPD on top of...

My younger brother and his whole family are CW re-enactors... 2 of his sons are Union infantry and I wonder if they were among the soldiers today. Couple years ago, one of them had the opportunity...

Bunch of Catholics on this thread, LOL. I'm seeing names of schools that I haven't heard in decades. Amazing that we did not disappear even though our schools, churches, and neighborhoods did. My...

I cannot point to a single event or time in my life that made me passionate about preserving history. I loved being able to sense the past in buildings, being able to feel previous lives in them. ...

You've made me homesick.

I don't reside in the Detroit area anymore, but TV out here in the south mitten hinterlands has always sucked. We get no reception without cable or a dish. External aerial got us 2 fuzzy local...
