Proper pronunciation is "bowled".
@buzzmobile hearing me talk you would probably hear it that way, as well as other texas and southern slang.
Having lived in Texas, I have heard:

"Thoe it on the dest." <-- Translated to Yankee: "Throw it on the desk."
All right now it is time for Current Events.

MamaD and I got married on Indian Rocks Beach 43 years ago today. She was the girl next door when I moved into the apartment she was leaving. I was working as a photographer for the Olan Mills Face Factory in Seminole one morning when the studio manager came into the camera room after I finished a set of baby photos. She had a very serious look on her face when she said, "Buzz, I have a telegram for you." That was a first for me. I opened it to see the following message:

"Happy Sadie Hawkins Day! I'll give you 10 years to marry me. Please don't make me wait that long."

I said Yes.

We have an Elopement Anniversary November 17. That came about after her Mom came down before the wedding and changed all of the plans that MamaD had put in motion. LOL

It's another Leap Year.

We have plans to go look for a Corona on April 8, 2024. Commerce TX is in the path of totality. Fingers crossed for clear skies.
That. Is. So. Kewl. Yer MamaD is a treasure.

Tell your friend I wear a ball cap and a buff around my neck in case the wind comes up. Wow....I have been wanting to get that off my chest. I feel better now!
I don't... understand. Which kind?

Wow Dog. I had no idea! Isn't getting old fun. Take care of yourself the best you can. I don't totally trust our medical system anymore. Sign of things to come🤔
The medical system we knew back in the Olden Days, Pute... is gone.

The best investment I ever made in my life was to pay for Scooter to go to college and then medical school. He has literally saved my life -- twice.

And he has opted out of the system (which is in the same shape as our now rogue gummint).

I fear for the next generation. They are in for some real shit. The vaxx has worked just fine:

Comparing US 2010 and 2023 annual rates, deaths are up 28% and births are down 15% – comparing averages of 2010-19 to 2020-23 averages, the death rate is up 22% and the birth rate is down 10% –

I’ve always wanted a skitter, but after paying $3500 for that miniature backhoe loader combination I am spoiled and see no sense in buying any other equipment. I’ve got a 24 foot rough terrain scissor lift. It gets me up in the trees.
Brother @Boo -- Is there any kind of vehicle you DON'T have?? That neat little backhoe loader just paid for itself. Between serious injury avoidance (you in't no spring chickum) and the fact a staghorn that size in a nursery would require a mortgage.

I always tell the blood-drawer that I know the real reason for one of the blood tubes is for the doctor's roses out back. Great for them.

Side note: I have given 8 gallons** of blood. Cannot do it anymore per Scooter's orders.

**Took 50 years, but I got there.
I have fun with the Ladies who draw my blood.
In life I hurt myself more getting a romex connector out of my truck than a needle.
When I leave I hold the other arm and complain that one hurts.
Then I charm them out of a 24 hr specimen jug in high visibility orange.
I collect them like some people collect reading glasses..

Funny my Bro had twins and they got their pictures taken by a photog.
I remember he told me when you get babies pictures taken they crank up the heat and make it warm and the babies sleepy
One of the moves I made to make an infant smile was to get down on one knee in front of the posing table. I would lean back and then rock forward towards the baby while saying, "Ahhhh- Boo!" That move killed on the baby circuit until the morning after a Beach House Halloween Party. I was very very headachey as a result of Mr. Daniels and his free flowing brown liquor. Baby was posed on the table and I tried all kinds of things to get a smile. No luck no smile. I took the AhBoo position and the first three rocking attempts got me dizzy and nauseous but no smiles. Stoic Baby finally broke up when I switched to the 'fake sneeze' "Ahhhh-Choo!" move.

Got the shots! Baby gave me a fist bump and a wink.


I drank some water.

Just in case you lose the ball cap.

Hmm - I think that you can change your sig - just fiddle around on ya profile page - and something might work -

All good 👍 here at the Nirvana home - kids back to school on the 9th - Mrs doing her 👩‍🍳
cheffing at the Vietnamese restaurant - all healthy and happy mostly 😀 -

- Yup - we are surely old farts by now - can say that happy in the knowledge that this year I will be 64 - knowing that more by luck than design - I have finally made it to being a legitimate old man - 👴 - lol -
Any technical stuff about past forums etc - best ask the Admin explosiv -

* Prawn - I upgraded you to senior member - that might help
Hey mate, I think you might have hit the wrong button! :unsure:

Still can't see sigs and now all my posts need moderator approval before they go live.

And I've been on my best behaviour, too! :ROFLMAO:

On a different note, I'll officially be OAP this year when I hit 55. Finally got back to Hong Kong last year after three years of Covid lock-outs, but you wouldn't like the place now. I was there during the riots in 2019 and there was a big disconnect between the young-uns and the older crowd. The young folk wanted their freedoms like they had under British rule, but the old folk knew trouble was brewing – and they were right.

I got gassed a couple of times in 2019 but last year the place was dead. You hardly see any foreigners there now, mostly just mainland Chinese who have taken over. We were there at the best time, before the handover.
