Comments: Mike, What do you think of Mitch McConnell saying let President Obama handle the debt ceiling. It seems to me the Republicans are shrieking their duty to govern. If this is the only solution, to the country not forfeiting on their debt, then this is good solution. I am sure the Republicans plan on using this against President Obama later on. I guess they will do anything short of bankrupting the country to get rid of President Obama. Congratulations to the citizens of Wisconsin on their recall election process. I have always liked the idea of "kicking the bums out."
Comments: Been away for a while; just got caught up on all the news and I must add, enjoyed a few chuckles. Seems like Peaches and Brenda had birthdays; congrats and best wishes to all on their special days.  ROFL regarding the words offered up regarding the Honored One in Washington. The audacity of him wanting to mess with our SS when he will not need it; he has a better deal. 
Comments: Cousin Johnny, thanks for the personal email, checking up on me, and inviting me back on this site with my SOC brethren to remind you all how that bleeding heart, left wing hopey changey thing is working in Washington. Workin' out okay fer ya? Yesterday it was threatening withholding SS checks. Heaven knows what today will bring. Hi to all my SOC '63 friends.
Comments: Well, Barry, there was a time when I wanted to get close to Ellie May Clampett - but somehow she turned 77!!!
Comments: John: All this time I thought you were related to Jethro Bodine of the Clampitt family!
Comments: John - all I can say is that you have wasted talents. We have been forced into reality TV when you could have written some great comedy series! You always make my day
Comments: From the "What Goes Around, Comes Around" Dept.: I read today that NBC will be trotting out "The Firm" as a 22 epidsode series on TV. This is their version of John Grisham's legal thriller book from 20 years ago. Now why would anyone want to invest 22 hours of their time watching this when they could just rent the movie? Also, I cringe each time I see the new TV ads for resurrecting "Dallas". I thought Larry Hagman passed away years ago? Oh, well - at least it gives me another opportunity to display the Ewing Family Tree which proves my lineage to J.R. (sort of). I'm sure some of you still remember my grandmother Eleanor (Miss Ellie) Southworth - over on Atoka Street. And it is just SO obvious that the Sue Ellen character is a thinly veiled copy of my old Kimball girlfriend Suanne Carr. http://people.consolidated.net/swsw/ewing.jpg
Comments:  Busy at my computer, but wanted to stop and wish y'all a great, blessed and happy day. Love you each and everyone. B.J.
Comments: Part of what fueled the rapid growth in North Dallas was the expanded alcohol sales when Oak Cliff dried up.
Comments: Oak Cliff went dry in 1956..we had just moved there from the other side of Dallas..
Comments: Oops. Guess that should have read convenience store, but, they were convenient!
Comments: I barely remember the jingle, but I do remember taking the TV tubes to be checked and buying a new one right then. I don't remember ever buying a Slurpee, though. KLUV played some old Slurpee jingles yesterday, and what I'm sure was really funny in the 70's, seemed somewhat lacking today. What year did Oak Cliff vote "dry" and all the convenient stores quit selling beer and wine?
Comments: Rooster, raccoon -- I knew it was one of those R animals. Thank you, John Anders (cousin to our own Miss Charlotte Anders) for supplying the lyrics. I found this in the Dallas News archives, dated May 4, 1977. http://lynell.smugmug.com/Other/empty/7138883_u7cxL#1379104937_WfWQ6mp Click Slideshow to make it full screen and readable. Gee, I miss John Anders' column in the paper, but I'll sleep better tonight knowing what they sell at 7-Eleven.
Comments: In the old 7-Eleven 1950ish animated tv commercial, the two critters singing were a rooster and an owl (subliminally indicating their hours of operation).
Comments: Happy birthday, Brenda! Remember the little owl in the 7-Eleven cartoon commercial on black and white TV? Seems like they had ice, milk, beer and something else. "Seven days a week we open up at 7 and seven days a week we’re open till 11. We’ve got ____, ________, _____ and _______ 7-Eleven's got everything!"That must have been some catchy jingle to have stayed in my head this long. Somebody help me figure out what the owl said they sold. There was another animal, a raccoon maybe. Right now, I have to take the TV tubes to 7-Eleven and check them on their machine!
Comments: Happy Birthday Brenda. I hope you have a wonderful day and a great year ahead with great health and God's blessings.
Comments: FYI - Today is FREE Slurpee Day at your local 7-Eleven store! [That's an even better deal than last week's Free Meal Day at Chick-fil-A where you had to show up in a "cow suit" to earn your grub]. Some Oak Cliff trivia about the very first 7-Eleven in the world: "It was located on the corner of 12th Street and Edgefield in the north Oak Cliff section of Dallas. Back in the 1920s, it was an ice house, until the owner decided to start selling groceries as well. It was open late and on weekends, a rarity for the time, and the convenience store was born. It was a popular location for kids, with Greiner Junior High School located across the street. It eventually closed in the mid-1990s, and now houses a LULAC education center. Today, few people even know the small, unassuming building was the start of a multinational company still based in Dallas."
Comments: Brenda, What Peaches said!!! 
Comments: Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dear Brenda Brown Kemp, Happy birthday to you!!!!!!! And many many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Camille, will love sharing my birthday with your mother. What a wonderful way to celebrate a 90th birthday. She must be in really good health to make that trip and get on stage with THE Platters. We are so fortunate to have still have our parents. Thanks for my birthday wishes.
Comments: Jud, I didn't know Bruce personally, but I understand..
Comments: Really missing Bruce Gaines, my best friend, college roomie, and Best Man.
Comments: Camile, Wish your mother Happy Birthday for me. She is such a sweet person. Today, happens to be my mother-in-laws ninety first birthday. She is celebrating it with her friends in the nursing home. Being able to take your mother to Branson, is a much better way to celebrate. I am glad you, your mother and your sister had such a good.
Comments: Since it is never too late to send Birthday Wishes to our precious Peaches, I thought I would join with the group and wish her a Happy Birthday. I haven't been on the SOC site since mid June. My sister, Becky, and I took our mother to Branson to celebrate her 90th birthday, July 1st (yes, Peaches, you have to share your day). Had a great time and she was chosen for the spotlight time with the "Platters". Had her on stage, gave her a rose, and serenaded her in celebration of her birthday. This was a birthday she will always remember.
Comments: Phyllis, we have an address for Sandra but do not know for sure if it is her. We have never heard from her. Send me an email and I can send you the addresss. peacheswalker@gmail.com
Comments: Sorry to hear about Bill Wilson. I didn't really know him, but Sandra Weldon -- and her sister Cheryl -- were good buds at SOC. They lived in the apartments by Kips on Zang, which I thought was quite glamorous. This was the "swinging 60's," and they had sleepovers, and we went swimming and enjoyed the "singles scene" around the pool. Does anyone know how to contact Sandra?
Comments: As always, Leftnell, what happens at Chester Clinic stays at Chester Clinic (unless The National Enquirer meets certain monetary requests).
Comments: Is Dr. Proctor offering any discounts on premarital exams or STD treatment in honor of this event?
Comments: Restland, Cutlery Shoppe, Home Depot (nothing says I love you like duct tape), Bronco Bowl, and of course Wally World.
Comments: Ken, how lovely. Can you tell us where the happy couple is registered? |
