You will be more careful this time. - Granny would store her dried fruit in cloth bags. Apples and Peaches.
- She also had Fig trees. She made delicious preserves. I still love those things. I made some a couple of times.
- We would pick Blackberries and wild Plums.
- They raised Peanuts for our pleasure.
- Do you know what a Rolling Store was? Granny would trade hen eggs for stuff that she wanted/needed.
- I ran into a Whitetail doe this morning. She was having a ball in our Lenten Roses.
- That is it.
- As you were.
- Carry on.
Maybe it was because I was a lot younger but those days just seemed different. Fans truly loved that team and knew everything about them. I saw two women argue over the brand of peroxide Jay Shidler used to dye his blond hair.
I sure wish players hung around long enough these days to get to know them as we knew the Joe B teams.
Kick it a few times. It won't help, but it won't hurt. Good luck to you.
The people have changed Sir, not the times. The genuine respect is not there any longer for way too many people. That really comes from respecting yourself first. When a person respects themselves there are TONS of things they will NOT do. It starts with; Self. (Not the ku coach, he ran out of self a long time ago.)
You can say that again.
Chicken Stew II is complete. Exceptionally good. Note the peas and carrots. Here ya go and many thanks, @cordmaker :
I use a huge band saw daily. It takes a 216" blade. It's a heavy one piece saw built around 1920. I (or employees back when I worked a full crew) have cut over 3 million lamp shades with it over the years.
In the spirit of St. Paddy's Day we'll be watching The Commitments tonight. Tomorrow, The Quiet Man with John Wayne. BBUK will approve although it's a different kind of role for him. Maureen O'Hara looks stunning as always.
Probably nobody interested, but since most people don't know how a lampshade is made, I'll tell you. The most popular type shades today consists of cloth laminated to styrene. I buy it in prelaminated form in rolls 48 inches tall and 125 yards long. I used to buy it semi loads at a time, but now it's a pallet at a time. I have an automatic sheeter. I load a roll of material to the sheeter and set it for number of sheets and length of sheets. I draw a pattern on the top sheet and staple them all together and saw. We have binding machines that are similar to a sewing machine that attach the patterns to the wire with tape. The next stage is machines that seal the ends together. Then you have stations where shades are trimmed and next you put the protective cellophane around the shade. There are differences for different type shades, but that's the basic idea for the most common shades.
The Quiet Man is one of my favorites. I had it playing in the background on my computer before I started reading this post.
I've read several times talking about your business...but I don't remember if you've ever mentioned who your customers are. Wholesalers, retail outlets, etc?
I've got an 8-pack of Guinness Nitro Stouts locked and loaded for tomorrow after work.
I just piddle with it these days. It keeps me and Jan busy with a little extra spending money. I don't even look for or want new business anymore. Most of my business is the middleman who uses my shades with their lamps on motels or furniture stores. I've made a few small orders for a Trump property in Miami through a middleman. Through a middleman, some currently go in Rent To Own and Ethan Allen. Before China, I put a lot in Target and a few other name stores and lots of mom and pop stores.
I have a supply of Yuengling I have been saving for just such an occasion. May drink three tomorrow. (Haven't had one in a few days.)
Nice! We're doing an Irish breakfast for dinner tomorrow. Boxty, eggs, Irish bacon and soda bread. Washing it down with some Kentucky Irish Ale.

I spaced out for some reason. I said Rent To Own, I meant Rooms To Go in my earlier post.
Aladdin Magical Mantle Lamps - Another quality product from Crownplace Brands, Ltd. (aladdinlamps.com)
We make these for the Aladdin kerosene lamps. Because of the heat from a kerosene lamp, you can't use regular lampshade material. These are from a poster board type material (dulkote). They used to be out of Clarksville Tn, but they sold out to Crownplace Brands in Ohio in 2014. We used to deliver to them in Clarksville on frequent trips to Nashville, making it a business trip. It's a very unique store right in the heart of Amish country in Ohio now, but to far for us to deliver.
My feet are what hurts me the most. Could not get much satisfaction out of Reynolds Army Hospital for them so, after much prodding from friends and family and 23 years after retirement, I am using the VA for many problems and started with a psychologist in November, and Audiologist in December. This Friday I have an appointment with a doctor about my feet and one for my shoulders. They do move slowly about appointments but, the PA's at Reynolds always had the same answers: "I don't know what to tell you" I would not go to them for years unless I was really hurting. They did not even do an X-ray for the injury below I received playing softball 2 years ago. Was going for two and the ball was thrown high to the second baseman who was a big man. He went up to get it, I did my Pete Rose into second and he came down on my leg. All they did for me is look at it feel around and ask me when they touched if it hurt. Since I walked in with it I guess they figured I was ok and said it was just badly bruised and if it got worse come back and see me. When I broke my hand back in January 1997 6 months before retiring from the Army it was Saturday on MLK jr weekend so, only emergency doctors were working. Two bones in my right hand were broke in two and my hand looked like it had a pup tent on it. They just did an X-ray, splinted it, gave some good pain relievers and told me to come back Tuesday. Went back on Tuesday and they did another X-ray, gave me more painkillers and sent me home until Friday when they operated to repair it. That was not the only problems I have had with Army medical but, I wont go into that now. My wife wondered why I don't like going to doctors and only go when I have serious problems. I have to use Reynolds because of Tri-care otherwise I have to pay out of pocket. Yes, they can refer out but it takes a lot to do it.
I'm with you, if the apple is as crisp as a potato chip I am good. A little softer is okay.
I like a bunch of different apples; (In no particular order but at times I like certain apples the best.) The Red Delicious (A Michigan apple I remembered), I mostly eat the Gala and Fuji apples with a variety thrown in as to if they are as you state; crisp. (Here near the DC/ Northern Virginia area we have an abundance of fresh produce stores; Lotte, H-Mart, LA mart and Fresh World, these are supermarket-like stores and they sell at good prices. (I have a crisper completely full of a couple varieties of apples in my fridge right now as this past weekend we hit all those stores. My Darling and I like to browse these as they are all within a few miles of each other.
About to eat a Fuji apple as I finish this post. (A noisy eating apple, it's a goodun.)
I mostly like sweet apples but I switch off to the sour apples on occasion.
Oh, and may you not eat from the table of Satan to where you take your eye's off the abundance which is Jesus. No need but the Tempter is walking to and fro seeking who he may devour. Stay vigilant and diligently seek Christ in all things. Christ can be found. God Bless you all...
You are welcome, I like sharing a good recipe!!!Chicken Stew II is complete. Exceptionally good. Note the peas and carrots. Here ya go and many thanks, @cordmaker :
My nephew ( a M.D.) has talked a couple of times of the fact that the VA doesn't have very good doctors. Never was quite sure if it was because they really are perhaps the lower end of the med school graduating class or if it was bit of professional arrogance on his part (he's a good guy) in that they weren't working in big, prestigious hospital or private practice.My feet are what hurts me the most.

Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.

If I had beer for breakfast I'd be worthless for the rest of the day.
Happy St. Patrick's Day folks. I'm lucky enough to be married to an Irish beauty from a big sprawling Irish family that came over in her grandfather's generation and settled in New York. Her grandfather became a soldier in the 29th Infantry - the Blue-Gray Division, in WW1, and for years after the war was the unit's historian. Her dad was a lawyer and a union organizer, a gregarious, decent guy but not to be messed with. The whole family is a colorful bunch.
My family, on my maternal grandmother's side, were from Northern Ireland, but had come there as protestants from Scotland -- the Scots-Irish.
In any case, I hope everyone has a great day.
