Comments: Happy Birthday, Peaches!
Comments: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEACHES AND HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MORE!
Comments: Birthday Greetings to the young-ish Peaches. Save me a piece of cake!
Comments: Peaches Darlin, Happy Birthday!!! To me Oak Cliff is Oak Cliff...east, west,north south...it is Oak Cliff and I am proud that I lived in south, went to church and hospital in north.
Comments: Happy Birthday, Peaches! Are you full retirement age (for purposes of Social Security) now? Also, as a former North Oak Cliffite, what would you say are the boundaries? I'm thinking west of I35, north of 12th Street, east of Hampton and south of West Commerce? Hope your day and year are happy! 
Comments: Happy Birthday Peaches and many many more!
Comments: Happy Birthday, Peaches!
Comments: Well it is after midnight and officially July 1st so this nightowl wants to wish one of my favorite people in the world a very happy birthday...I love you Peaches...have a great day!!!
Comments: You know - I think it is the non-natives and those raised across the river that get things so confused on OC. I have heard people confused on SOC - South Dallas before and told them they need to look at Fair Park and areas around there for South Dallas. North OC came into play when they started renovating around Methodist Hospital, Bishop Arts and FW Avenue. I found a site called Oak Cliff dot com http://www.oakcliff.com/history.htm that is a little interesting. There are eras you can link to and it follows what happened back in certain years and the resulting OC. Oak Cliff is not that big in the scope of Dallas but much bigger than Fruitdale. I am always surprised when I hear some talk about Fruitdale because that is where my grandmother had a huge garden and chickens with a barn yard and peddled her eggs to neighbors and the community. Remember when Richardson and Duncanville and FW where neighboring communities and now you do not know where one starts and the other ends...almost. What a life to have seen so much!
Comments: Sharon, we live between Emmett Conrad DISD high school and Lake Highlands High, and pay (high) RISD taxes. I do not understand the districting process. Have a great long weekend!
Comments: Lynell: Some time ago, my sister and her family lived in Lake Highlands, but it was south of Northwest Highway and both of her boys went to Bryan Adams. Go figure. I always thought it was very strange. Of course, I never could understand why Lake Highlands HS is in Dallas, but is part of the Richardson ISD. I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow, so Happy 4th of July to everyone. Be safe.
Comments: There is, however, a neighborhood called Moss Farm but we're not in it. We're in Highlands West. It's all part of Lake Highlands. Confused? It seems like some changes are for no good reason.
Comments: Trinity Heights, Fruitdale, Lisbon -- all those little towns have virtually disappeared. I suppose that could be said of Moss Farm, where I live now. I heard that term once or twice when we moved here in 1980, but not in the last 20 years or so.
Comments: And what about Fruitdale. I grew up there and I never hear about it anymore. Just think, I had a choice of going to SOC or to Wilmer Hutchins HS. How different things would have been. I would never have met Geo Johnny or all the other wonderful SOCites.
Comments: I've heard news stories lately about South Dallas, only to discover they're talking about South Oak Cliff.
Comments: What happen to South Oak Cliff...now it is North Oak Cliff? Is there a distinction now? 
Comments: Phyllis: Sorry, but the neon is already spoken for. Now, if you really want it, Joan might make you a deal!
Comments: Hey, Geo Johnny:
Comments: Jud, now that you mention it, my will is in need of revision - let me sleep on it and I'll have the attys contact you if they need any info (I can never remember if it is "Judson Harmon" or "Harmon Judson"?). Barry, tell Joan I'm not sure how many miles the neon lights have on them, but it is fewer than the 20,487 mi. that are on the 2004 Miata. I guess I need to get to drivin' it more frequently.
Comments: John, does this mean you have written me out of your will?
Comments: Joan was speechless when I informed her of your pre-demise bequest. It is rare that she does not have something to say. Tell Dru to remove them from the Miata with care and package them carefully (not with wire cutters!). If you have not promised your metal detector to anyone, I would like it, as well. And, anything else you might have that you don't owe money on......
Comments: Pretty cool stash. I like the ring. Also like the lighting in the Mitia - lucky Joan.
Comments: Suburban "beach" hunting: Yesterday, rather than trek down to Galveston, I decided to metal detect a local fishing pond. The drought has caused the water to recede, exposing a new 4 ft. "beach" that was once underwater. In less than two hours I discovered an interesting variety of items once lost to the Ages. I found my 3rd ring of the year (sterling silver woman's band) and I also found the proverbial "hook, line and sinker" (uh, minus the "line"). My pal, renowned gemologist Spuds Macpherson, authenticated the pedigree of the ring. Here are the expedition pics: http://people.consolidated.net/swsw/06-25-11_a.jpg http://people.consolidated.net/swsw/06-25-11_b.jpg http://people.consolidated.net/swsw/06-25-11_c.jpg
Comments: Let's see...one drink at sixteen months interest. Mike may owe John a whole bottle!
Comments: Note To Self: Peters owes me a drink in the Fall of 2013.
Comments: Mike P. - I'm pleased to hear that the U.S. Postal Service got the parcel to you. I still look exactly as pictured in that directory. Barry, I've willed the blue neons to you. If Joan still has the MiniCooper (at the time of my demise) you might consider installing them under her dash. Frankly, I don't do much night driving and most of the time I forget the neons are there. An independent switch operates them. (see pic) http://people.consolidated.net/swsw/mx5-neons.jpg
Comments: GeoJohnny: Received the book today. Thanks a lot. Make a note, I owe you a drink at the 50th Reunion.
Comments: John is so full of it. After reading his post about assigning me a new ringtone I decided to test him. I called-he answered! He's always glad when anyone calls-even those he continues to poke fun at. He did say that I could have the Miata neon lights when he meets his maker out in the woods of geo-cache land. Now I'll just have to figure out what to do with them!
Comments: John: I like it! |
