     Since the age of 18 I have kept a daily journal of my life.  (I would say   
   diary, but that sounds a little girlish).  Save for three periods of my life   
   every day is recorded.  If I should write my memoirs it would be rather   
   easy, just look up the event as it   
     (Two periods are missing wwhile I was in the Navy.  One six month period   
   was never written since too busy with booth camp, etc.  The other is a   
   period towards the end of my Naval career that was lost.  Plus the entire year   
   2000 when I went from handwritten

     Yes she was.

     One summer I was part time cashier at a local amusement park.  Admission   
   at the time was 25 cents.  (They made up for that on costs of rides,   
   concessions, etc).   
      Occasionally a group of people would come in and I would count heads   
   then pretend to add them up in my head.  They were amazed I could sound an odd   
   number with the right amount so quickly.  They didn't know there was a cheat   
   sheet taped to the register and   
     "Forty seven people in your group?  That'll be (slight pause)$11.75"

     He's dead, Jim.

      You and me both.   
      I do enjoy re-reading my old journals and reading just line the whole   
   event is replayed in my mind as if it happened minutes before.   
      And a whole lot of things I had completely forgotten about.   
      Good and bad in both of these cases.   
      
   > I had already stoped talking about it because appasrently that's no longer    
   a thing these days. . . oh well. . .   
      
     Sometimes I'll read something that was done or said and think "Can't say   
   or do that these days".   
      
   > So you're a Yankee?   
      
      Sir, I take that as a personal insult and request your appearance   
   tomorrow at sunrise on a field of honour.  :)   
         
   >  & your radio stations begin with W, not K?   
      
      W is east of the Mississippi (except KDKA in Pittsburgh and maybe one or   
   two others) and K is west of the Mississippi.   
      Matters not if north or South.   
      
   > We're pretty mild where I am =- I call us the tropics of Canada. . . :)   
      
     I recall a line from the Goon Show (BBC radio) that was talking about   
   Cornwall and referred to as "The Riviera of England".  :)   
      
   > until I foolishly stated an opinion. .    
      
     Opinions are no longer allowed, unless they agree with current group   
   think.

      I sometimes enjoy tweaking the nose of some self righteous people who is   
   you disagree you are a bad person.   
      And I will often question people, sometimes for more information or if   
   they are a pompous you know what, to get a reaction.   
      "Follow the science!"   
      You mean the same science that says men can be women and women men when   
   the mood strikes them?   
      The same science that says men can have babies, etc?   
      
   > I'm not in MEMORIES looking to fight; just casual chat weith friendly   
   > strangers old enough to "get it"   
      
     Most of us are too old to do any serious fighting, esp when its near nap   
   time.  :)   
      
   > But good times while it lasted as a casual chitchat place. . . & that's all   
   I seek in here. . . :)   
      
     Seek and you shall find.  That's the way it is here.   
     I've been a mod for years and have never had to step in on a   
   conversation.  But then we are a much smaller group than in years past.   
     I think the worse I've had to do is write something "that's a bit too   
   close to current events.  (And I may need to give myself a warning re: the   
   lines above about science...)

     And also with you.
