Comments: Kathleen... They ran the Independent Lens program about the Buddhist monk looking for the child-reincarnation of the Lama again tonight.. It was quite interesting...It was 2 hours long...
Comments: If you haven't seen the azaleas and tulips blooming along Turtle Creek this spring, they are now at their PEAK and well worth a drive through the Park Cities.
Comments: I liked Death Valley Days and Rosemary DeCamp...I remember the ads.. WD-40 bought Lava...? Gee, I hope they don't mix the two...?
Comments: Ron, I didn't remember either, but my brother Roe (from the class of '66) told me that the show would feature an outcast and everyone in town would make fun of him and then at the end of the program, it would turn out that the outcast invented something spectacular like "barb wire."
Comments: Death Valley Days is the only show I remember sponsored by 20 Muleteam Borax..I remember Rosemary DeCamp but don't remember any lesson associated with the show..
Comments: Lava was developed in 1893 to help coal miners clean their hands and was marketed to clean just about everything off your hands. The company was bought in 1993 by WD-40 which also produces a liquid version. Now to test your memory. Does anyone remember the 50's TV series sponsored by 20 Muleteam Borax with Rosemary De Camp. The series usually taught a history lesson at the end.
Comments: They have all these 'exfoliating' things now..Maybe....they were based on ...Lava.. Makes sense.... 
Comments: You know you mention something about using Lava on your face. I had such oily skin in my teen years that I remember using it but I don't think I did it for long. I believe it was successful at drying it out some and then my Dad used it after working on the car and outside. I think I just abandoned the idea after a short time but without a doubt, I sure did it as someone suggested. Funny how things change things - been adding moisture to my face for years and by golly, got wrinkles anyway! Oh for the perfect solutions huh? Have a great tomorrow. Today was beautiful. Cynthia
Comments: To add to the list of LAVA uses . . . if you have trouble getting grass stains out of your kids' - or rather - grandkids' clothes, it works great. But with all the other stain removers out there, I never hear of anyone using it anymore. I have one bar still in the wrapper that's been on the top shelf of the cabinet in my bathroom for years. Maybe my grandkids will have it appraised on the Antique Roadshow one day.
Comments: Dear Wooden Head II..(no wooden heart), A pumice stone... would do it... Wooden Head I (no wooden heart) 
Comments: Then again, you could just skip the middle man, use sandpaper and not have to get your hands wet.
Comments: Lava..hurts...! Ajax probably hurts...less.! 
Comments: Maybe if we wash our face with Lava it would be like a cheap chemical peel. Ouch!!
Comments: Sharon, I agree with you about it being rough on your skin. I guess it is a mostly a man's soap because you have to have grease on your hands to even consider using it. Did you know that the word "lava" means "wash" in Spanish, as in " lava los manos" wssh your hands?
Comments: Barry, do you live in the country or outside a city boundary? I think firing off a shotgun within a city's limits is a big no no. Perhaps something quieter would do. There is probably something in my gun vault that you could use. Sure hope Buddy rehabs okay. Kathleen, we still have a few bars of LAVA soap. Steve used it for years but now he's more into the gunk-off gel stuff. I tried Lava once and thought my skin was going to fall off. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Comments: Charlotte: We think the babies were killed. Before the injury, Buddy would eat and immediately head back next door. I tried to follow her several times, but was unsuccessful. After she was hurt, she would eat and then climb a tree in our back yard and stay there for a long time. We saw her checking some of last year's nests, like she was looking for them. The neighbor's tree that I think has her current nest is a huge Post Oak that has fully leafed out and we can't see the nest, but the neighbors have seen it. They also have seen a hawk numerous times at their bird feeder. They have seen the hawk fly down and carry away several mourning doves at the feeder. We have also seen the hawk in our yard, but have never seen it get anything and we have a lot of doves as well. Guess I need to get the shotgun out, just in case.
Comments: I am so glad that Buddy is being treated........what is happening to her babies? Do you know where they are? I spend muchas $ on my Cows and horses and anything else that happens to wander to the ranch and is needy ...even vultures(yech).......so I know how you feel about Buddy. She is special and you really care for her. I am so glad you are able to get her help. You are an animal angel!! Sam, you must be kidding.....come over to 62? haaaaaaaaaaa!! Oh sure! haaaaaaaaaaaa!! When you post here we do not yawn or tell you to shut up and go back to your own GB even if you are a Pinocchio head...haaaaaa. I happen to think you are funny and truthful, but I think this GB is about keeping up with classmates through the years and posting pertinent info about each other's families, squirrel pets and events going on....not arguing over political jargon. Anyone can say anything here if they sign their name and own it. So I have the right to say that I wish politics could stay off this GB....That is not a rule.....it is what I wish. It will never happen......I just find it, "yawn", troublesome that some of us insist on "ruffling feathers" when we know that is exactly what will happen. We all have our views...right or wrong...left or right....conservative or liberal......that is America...WE GET IT..so is free speech.....so have at it if you must...but I am just asking you to please do it in your own personal emails and not preach to all of us.......I find THAT disturbing.
Comments: So...Kathleen..What does she win...? G (Pinnochio)
Comments: Sharon is CORRECTO! The soap commercial of the fifties with the DEEP male voice and is spelled out is: L A V A, L A V A , L A V A.
Comments: Barry, at least according to Elvis Presley, "We don't have 'wooden hearts'... signed Pinnochio....(I spelled that right..I think..? This 'Word' thingy has Pinnochio underlined..) Pinnochio 
Comments: LAVA
Comments: Barry, great news about Buddy. You'll also get the vet's bill for tiny, special instruments needed to work on Buddy. Oh, wait ... maybe I'm thinking of a Seinfeld episode.
Comments: Good news from squirrel land. Buddy has been caught and delivered to the vet. They asked if we wanted to donate $50 for the rehabilitator or if we wanted her back. "We'll if we've gone to this much trouble, we want her back". That will be another $100 deposit. This will probably end up being the world's most expensive squirrel. We had other pet owners wanting to take her picture. We are totally nuts. I was holding the trap on my lap and she got close to me so I could pet her and then she summed up the day by marking her territory on my leg. At least she didn't "mark" Joan's Mini on the way to the vet...................... And, Ginger, I've never been called a wooden head before. It has a nice ring to it! Thanks.
Comments: Kathleen, Lux? That's only three letters though.
Comments: Golly, Phyllis, it's nice to see you on here!
Comments: Today's issue of Oak Cliff People listed some Oak Cliff-centric Facebook pages, including: Oak Cliff, That's My Hood F*ck Oak Cliff That ain't My Hool __Htown representin Oak Cliff Moms Dogs of Oak Cliff Kessler X+ Bishop Arts District 10 Ways To Know You From Oak Cliff Although, it's possible I may be the only one still living in the OC. After Peaches crossed over to the Dark Side, the only other Cliffite that I knew of was Karen Dollar White, and I've lost contact with her, so am not sure if she's still here. Does anyone else still live in Oak Cliff?
Comments: Okay, I've tried to resist making a comment about Lynell and Charlotte saying "Boo" to any political postings, but I can't. Charlotte, to say that "No High IQs, enlightenment, or peace and light can come from it (making political comments)" is just plain.......well it speaks for itself. And I'll remember not to talk politics or religion when I become a barber, Lynell. Point made ladies. Squirrel stew it is. Politics and religion are part of our fabric, but not on this site. Challenging comments is one thing. Dictating the direction is disturbing, at least to me. Visit us on SOC '62 sometime, or email me personally. I'm always up for a political discussion. Our country's future is at stake.
Comments: second hint: The name of the commercial soap is a four letter word that begins with the letter "L".
Comments: That's true... no converts...Sam knows that.. I hear that you-all have had those arguments long before I was on the scene.. always keep it light, if possible,but we ought to be able to be 'lighthearted and joking' about politics or religion.. or what's going on in the world...The discussion of Yahweh, Buddha, Jesus, Hare Krishna or whoever..or the mention 'thereof' should not be nixed because someone likes to preach...(lecture) etc. If you want to hear boring long discussions, go to the 62 site..Sam likes that stuff..They do go on.. I read it, but don't comment..anymore. Some of it, has to be tolerated..as long as it is light.. If people can't engage in conversation over 'what's going on in the world', then we will only have what Sam calls the 'women's forum'.. or the reverse on the 62 site is the 'men's forum'.. ** I really don't think Barry and I calling each other 'wooden heads' constitutes a serious, tacky discussion. 
Comments: My dad was a barber. After the Army, he learned in trade school not to discuss politics or religion with customers, lest he create people who didn't like him for his views and who would never come back for another haircut. He, unfortunately, did not learn to stay out of the beer joints along Lancaster Road, but he always had plenty of haircut business because he figured out early on that he'd received some good advice about keeping the conversation light. At our age and most of the decades we have lived through, nobody's going to win any converts. |
