Comments: Nice compilation. No question that we grew up in a great era. Did it seem that way at the time? I can't recall?
Comments: Hey, Kids! Put on your bobby sox and loafers and get ready to do some serious boppin'! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=sDc0ID6PJeg&feature=youtu.be
Comments: That Macy's story took place about 1967. The glove department was about the size of most stores in Dallas.
Comments: I was shocked at Macy's in New York at the glove counter, patiently waiting. The customer with the clerk was having trouble deciding which gloves to buy. The clerk said, "Hurry up. Someone is waiting." I said, "No, no. It's okay. Take your time." Both of them looked at me like I was crazy.
Comments: I should have changed the spelling of my name a long time ago because that is the way so many people spell it. .haaa. I am so used to it Diane. No worries! Oh yes, even Floridians have commented on how friendly Texans are. I even had them tell me not to expect that kind of friendliness if I come to Florida...haaa. I remember being shocked at sales people in the north east...rude rude rude...at least to this Texan it seemed that way. But, it was every day behavior to locals.
Comments: Charolette, since I still have relatives in CT, PA and NJ I know what you mean. Love visiting there but I can't wait to get home. One summer I was rude to a Wal-Mart cashier as she just tossed my bag at me without saying Thank you or have a nice day. So I looked at her and said "you have a nice day too". She just looked at me as if I lost my mind. My cousin said "Come on Diane before you get upset. Remember this isn't Texas". They can't just refill your ice tea they have to give you a whole new glass. I hate that. Sorry if I misspelled your name.
Comments: Sharon, when we lived in Connecticut for three years in the late 70s my family would call and say I had a Yankee accent. I would tell them it was a Yankee telephone. Then when I would go home to Texas for a visit, I couldn't believe the way people talked here. AND that " Y'all come back now ya hear?" was so foreign it was comical. It made me realize how I must have sounded to the Yankees...haaa! When I would go back to Connecticut after being in Texas, my friends would say, "I can tell you have been home for a visit"...haaa! Oh, and one time when I came back there were bumper stickers saying "Freeze their Asses in the Dark" during the oil shortage...I was praying that wouldn't happen until I got out of there since we had oil heat....haaaaaaa!! One time we visited Fort Worth. The men would tip their cowboy hats as I walked by and I was in shock (but loved it)....NO ONE EVEN MADE EYE CONTACT IN NEW YORK CITY! I had forgotten how friendly and courteous we Texans are.
Comments: I lived in Augusta, GA for four months in late 1968. Even though it was a very brief period, I came back to Dallas and my family had trouble understanding me. I assimilated that drawl to the point of ridiculous! Seriously, it took me several months just to get back to our plain, old Texas twang. I personally like a little southern drawl. Back to the present, I watched both games yesterday. Wanted Atlanta to win but wasn't too upset when they got beat. But I was especially happy to see the Ravens over the Pats. The Superbowl might be a fun game this year.
Comments: So.....your mom is from Atlanta, Peaches.? Didn't know that. I've listened to those accents a lot, living in the midst of those 'deep southerners' for so long. The first time, I heard Martha pronounced 'Motha', was in Nashville...probably about 1978.. Now I have a tendency to say 'Motha' instead of Martha.. About the same time, my 4 yr old son was asked what 'Father Christmas' was going to bring him..? It's a small, small world, we live in.. Same place...Nashville.
Comments: That is wonderful news about Peaches' mom. She is such a sweet lady.
Comments: Charlotte, thanks for asking. I told her she got calls from (Mary Kay, Pat, Ouida, Bettty Gibbs, Betty Bogart and Rodger) and the messages on facebook. She just smilled and said in her soft sweet Atlanta accent "oh, how sweet. Tell them thank you". When I got her home Sunday she got sick that night and I stayed with her through the night and next day. She said one time........."You would have made such a good mother". I told her I had a great teacher. Then another time I heard her get up and I went in her room again and she said...."You are just like a mother...she always hears when her children get up through the night". Isn't that sweet? I am so fortunate to still have her. Thanks again for all the prayers
Comments: Hey, wake up, everybody..!! 
Comments: First snowfall of the season, but not bad enough to skip work. Drat!
Comments: I hope next time there's a SOC luncheon, Anna will come to it. She's sure to run into people she knows.
Comments: I have forwarded your info to those I know in the class of 62...hope I have helped....
Comments: I graduated from SOC in 1967. My sister, Anna Morris (now Anna Ralph) graduated in '63. She should have graduated in '62 but was too ill to finish and had to go back the next year. She is looking to re-connect with old friends. She is in bad health and homebound living in Alba, Tx. She does not have a computer but would love to write to or talk to long lost friends from her high school days. Please message me at secondchancered@att.net and I will be glad to message you her address, etc. Some names she has mentioned to me of old friends are Joe Alexander, Norman Forgey, Glenda Sigmon, Peggy Whiteside and William Elmo (Bill) Watson. Thank you!
Comments: Thank you, Peaches. I hope all is well with you.
Comments: Peaches, how is your mother??
Comments: Been out of touch. So here goes a little late........... Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday DearLynell, Happy birthday to you!!!!!!! And many many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Copyright. Copyright. This birthday seems to have wiped out whatever marbles I had left -- or maybe it was the ice cold beer at El Fenix.
Comments: Seems like Davey Crockett had issues with our friends from south of the border, so maybe not for a while. You should open up a restaurant called Davey's. Doubt if there's a copywrite on the name. Go for it, I say.
Comments: Do you think there is a plan for an El Fenix in Crockett? Love their tortilla soup and Tex-Mex and chips and salsa and on and on.
Comments: Mike, thanks. You should talk someone into opening a branch of El Fenix in your neighborhood. The company is expanding, and I certainly hope they do it right!
Comments: Previous posting should have included Lynell's name. I think she will know and identify.
Comments: Belated birthday greetings! El Fenix? OMG, I miss that place. The closest thing to Tex-Mex in the Northeast is On The Border. Close, but NO CIGAR! I became an El Fenix fan at age 13.
Comments: El Fenix still rocks, as does Rod. Thank you for the kind words. I've had lots more sleep in my life than my birthday mate. Truth be told, I'm about to nod off now. Great birthday, and I'm glad to still be here. I love SOC buddies! |
