When I was a kid a trip to Rickles and Channel Lumber was a monthly tradition with dad.

He has no morals and lies about practically everything. How you can think that's moral is beyond me.

I served him and his old girlfriend soup, salad and desert back around '81. He'd be jogging down the street or at the DQ. He was all over Monmouth county.

Spent a lot of nights at Trade Winds in Sea Bright after I was legal age to drink. NRG, The Nines and the other regular bands were always good to see. Pretty sure they tore the nightclub down years ago.

That's considered reckless driving and 5 points on your license so be careful. Stupid teenage me can personally vouch for that.

Lol, like I said: politics ... and ...
Tricky Dicky despised his political opposition and ran a smear campaign out of the Whitehouse involving other government agencies. I was a kid but I still love the fact that he had to resign, it was great to watch on TV!

I saw them land on the Moon and hope to live long enough to see them land on Mars. It's been a wild ride.

Skylab was built using parts from Apollo 18, 19 and 20 that never flew to the moon as it was supposed to. The Apollo program got cut short due to politics, costs and waning public support. Skylab is what became of Apollo's leftovers.

I own a lot of darker colored clothing and the hair from my black cats isn't all that noticable on it. When I had a white Siamese cat I was going through a lot of those sticky tape lint rollers every year. Now with my voids I haven't bought one in at least a decade.

There were issues a few years ago about black market carts causing lung issues in users. Whatever was being put in it was causing lung damage in some people. That's far too risky for me.

You can't even shame Republicans these days for doing bad thinge so there's no way you can embarrass one. If it were me I'd have that kid caught with their hand in a cookie jar look on my face.

Heck, the crew from Ohio that restored my hoods power after hurricane Irene said the lines hadn't been worked on since they were put up in the mid 40's. JCP&L is pathetic with their "maintenance". My power goes out so frequently I had to buy a generator.

That bluish eyeshadow is so 1965 and the expression is a great Cruella DeVille impression. Hide your Dalmatians and your kids too before they become a coat or an Edgar suit.
