Coming back back to our dorm after lunch one day, Jim said he'd received a box of homemade cookies that day. He and his roommate, Doug, would bring them over. Chris and I couldn't have been happier, she having a crush on Doug and I on Jim.
Just as they entered our room and closed the door, I remembered I'd gone with Jim to check for mail and he'd gotten no packages! As I yelled, "Noooooooo!", he opened a shoebox full of chads, the tiny punch out part of a ballot. (In 1972, all the D.P. cards had punched out parts) Where he got them, I never knew, but he threw them all over the room, into the shag carpet to remain forever.
Our retaliation was to swipe Jim's car keys (he rarely used the old blue Impala) and stuff crumpled sheets of newspaper into the whole interior, so tightly packed he couldn't get in. Then, we toilet papered the outside with pink t.p. Unfortunately, our frequent rain caused the wet t.p. to bleed the pink into the blue paint. His pink and blue striped car was not funny at all.
Marching band, in 7-8 grade, and high school. My high school sponsored a festival for HS bands every fall. Following the morning parade, there was a halftime show competition. Bands from up and down the Valley attended. It was spectacular.
I don't make contributions, volunteer at shelters, take in every stray that wanders by, or belong to PETA.
Going to Houston soon. Kitchen counters and new sink due next week. Every day is a blessing, no matter what.
No, and I block those numbers, too. Sometimes, I'll do a search to find out where the number originates.
Sky diving
No, because I don't want it done to me.
My son was offered a "go-ahead" in a line at a Texas Wal-Mart late one night. A guy behind him got mad because the lady in front of both of them let my son, with his one item, go first. The two guys are getting loud, and my son yelled, "You're a #=/ #<[*. The #=/ #<[* line is over there (pointing). Go get in that line!"
My son was allowed to make his purchase, and asked to never return to that store.
If I had a penny for every potato chip, or almond, or pistachio, or kernel of popcorn I've eaten, I'd be rich!
I saw one last month,! Today, in an antique store, there were several rotary phones, different colors, about $65/US each. The phone in the hotel room is not hooked up!
Nope, I have to go looking for it... which I don't.
