Ah, yes. City slickers rubbing shoulders with the country bumpkins. At the other end of the spectrum are Jeff Foxworthy's Rednecks: "If the biggest city you've ever been to is Wal-Mart..." Actually, @D'Snowth , you'd appreciate this. Every episode of "Green Acres" is funnier than the last.

I think part of the blame of technology is from being thrown on people so fast, people don't have time to get acclimated to it. Technology evolving faster than people can absorb it. It wasn't that long ago when Windows 95 was state-of-the-art, or this wonderful new thing called DIAL-UP, which in...

People text others standing right next to them. How is it the only way people feel empowered is with their head down and thumbs whizzing, but can't establish eye contact and verbally express themselves? In some ways, all the texting and obsession over social media dehumanizes people. For a lot...

Sharon and I celebrating 17 years of marriage. A couple from our church took us out for dinner (it's their anniversary too, but they have a few more years on us). Went to the fanciest Italian restaurant around. Makes Mackaphoney Grill look like Burger King. This is the type of place with valet...

It is unsettling seeing all the cars evacuating. People driving to find safety. Even if they have to drive several states. One would be lucky just to find food and water, let alone a hotel room. How far will people have to go? Georgia? The Carolinas? Texas is still reeling from Harvey. This...

Bacon ranch popcorn. It's still wonderful to enjoy something as simple as popcorn. My whole life, it's been a constant staple, and I've had every popper ever made. Some you pop with hot oil. Some you pop with hot air. One that pops kernels over a campfire. Jiffy Pop and microwave bags a mixed...

Steve Harvey blew it big time when he announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant (or was it Miss America? I can't keep up). Still trying to host Family Feud and fill Richard Dawson's shoes is not an easy fit. Greg Proops, Richard Karn (and the other guy who passed away some time...

Had Chinese for lunch. The best thing on the menu is Crab Rangoon. Actually there's no crab in it, but they are deep fried cheese wontons that you dip in sweet and sour sauce. Fantastic!

Only when I drink grape soda. 8)

Well, the university I graduated from (Montclair State, 1990) there were over 5,000 caps and gowns on the floor of the Meadowlands Arena with me. It would've been impossible for everyone to speak. I didn't even get to go up for my diploma, I got it in the mail a month later, just because of the...

I remember when this was brand new, around 1970-71 or so. Even as a little kid I thought he was cool as can be. Little did I know I'd grow up looking like him! My hair is darker, but we have the same lavender skin.8)

Same thing could be said about Jim's death and Sesame Street. I really thought that after hearing about his death, Sesame was finished. After 20 solid years, how much longer could the show go on? It outlasted anything else PBS ever aired (Mr. Rogers aired new episodes sporadically, he didn't...

The 1979 Muppet Movie was as perfect a movie as you could get (maybe not flawless, but still stands up to repeated viewings more than most). Still riding momentum from the Muppet Show, plus the unmatched chemistry of all the performers, Jim still a decade away from the heavy-handed Disney deal...

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme? 8)

There are still people (usually old men, like your grandfather, maybe) that still blow their noses on handkerchiefs or bandanas. They take it out of their back pocket and just like in cartoons blow their nose with 120-decibel force, then put the germ-laden snotrags back in their pocket until the...

Raw tomatoes don't agree with me, because of the texture and acid in them. My whole life, cannot eat them without gagging. Once they're cooked, they're fine. Sun dried tomatoes are also good. Taking the moisture out removes the slimy feel. We have different types of mushrooms where I work-...

I had a classmate that ate like a pig. 8)

If you can find anyone born before April 21, 1968, on here, I'll hand my crown over to them (along with my hearing aid, false teeth, Epsom salts and colostomy bag).

I do like hot foods. Jalapenos are mild compared to Habaneros. Ghost chilis are too much for me. But even with Habaneros, there is only a tiny bit of capsaicin in them, but it is so concentrated, it takes a gallon of milk to put the fire out. Indian and Thai foods are delicious. How those...

Not quite sure on the celery, but I can tell you why they serve wings with ranch or blue cheese dressing. The heat from the sauce (a wonderful little enzyme called capsaicin) that burns your mouth can only be put out with something dairy. If you drink anything, water or soda won't stop the heat...
