Yeah Fred!  Nice Rides!!

If only I could figure out how to hook up a Briggs & Stratton motor to one of those chariots, I'd have a way to cut my lawn....

Oscar the chef was in demand for his culinary skills!

When we'd visit my Grandmother 'n Granddad in Indiana, they substituted "whipped cream" instead of mayonnaise.  It was different but was a real treat!

We grew up eating Waldorf Salad. I too like it with pecans or walnuts but had never thought about using whipped cream. 🤔.
I've not been participating lately; had right hand thumb surgery. But things have calmed down a bit so I'm glad to get back to the "Forum". 
Happy 250th Fourth of July, America!🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎂

Us Girls have got to stick together!!

"Fútbol" (or futebol) where is this spelling from?

Yes, I'm Watching Football/Soccer tonight!!
I can see Soccer being called football or even
head-football Where the US Football maybe
should be called Hand-Football!

Well Folks,

I was curious, so watched the USA vs Bosnia soccer game last night. And learned a few new quirks of the game.  I asked a patron at one of our many "sports bars" here in the Pecos Valley: "Why do those players fall down, grab their knees, and cry out in anguish, as if in terrible pain? Do they get points awarded for it?  The patron said, Nah, those soccer 'drama queens" try to convince the referee to pull out a yellow card and award them with a penalty shot.  I said hmm... it's a real "miracle" how a "badly" injured player who was just writhing in great pain on the ground, can stand up and immediately run around... chasing after the ball as if nothing ever happened!  The patron shook his head in disgust saying: "Yeah, they'd be hauled off on a stretcher if they were playing NFL football....

Rex Booth

Sherry, here ya goes!

Soccer was invented by the Brits.  They introducted the game to Spain and South America. The Spanish countries took the English word football and called it "fútbol".

I just figured the soccer players learned this tactic 
~~~~~~
from the NFL players!! HAHAHA!!~~~~~~

• Strategy: The high-level, long-term blueprint or overall campaign plan designed to achieve a major objective.
• Tactic: The specific, short-term actions and operational moves used to carry out that strategy. 

Learned it from NFL players?  Not even close.  More strategy less tactic...  ~ The Shadow

I also watched the U.s. beat Bosnia.  I just cannot get in5o futbol and FIFA like so many others.  My sport is basebal, especially Little League.   Played it, and then coached it.  Follow the Rangers now...

But my favorite has to when they first start out playing t-ball...

Fred Miller

All of a sudden the FIFA games have my attention.  Now possible corruption allegations within FIFA to keep the U.S. top scoring player out of the games.  Next game. -  U.S. vs.  Belgium this coming Monday, 7/6/26 at 8:00P Eastern.

Fred,

Yes, I watched the USA vs Bosnia game, and I agree with your assessment. The referee made a bad... very bad decision.  Since the foot work was not an intentional act, the worst call should have been a "yellow" card. But for a referee to make a decision to pull a red card like that, speaks volumes about him and his intentions!  Because of the red card, the USA team is playing Belgium without their star player . The USA must figure a way to rise to the challenge! Doncha just love the enthusiasm shown by each fan representing their own country..!!

I loved the video of the kids playing T ball and their inter-action with each other!

Thanks for posting the video! It was fun and a treat to watch those youngsters hit the ball and run the bases! One kid hit the ball, ran to first base, and kept on going straight to the outfield!!  Real Fun!!

Paula Carl (Cowee Miller)

Thanks for the video's on T-Ball. All my great-grandchildren have and are still playing. Absolutely hilarious!!

Happy Birthday, America!

Yes! Celebrate Our Nation's Founding!!

It has been 10 or 12 years now since I visited Roswell.  Recently I found new way to visit Roswell.  I found a multitude of videos on You Tube about Roswell.  ie - driving through Roswell, driving around Roswell, a walking tour of Roswell, etc.   

One thing stuck out in a video driving the length of Main St.  Is there some new city ordinance that you cannot have a business in Roswell unless it is alien themed?  Or at least have alien pictures or figurines standing out front.  

I could probably count the non-alien themed businesses on all of Main St. on one hand.  I don't remember there being that many in the past.

Winner at the UFO Festival. Rumor has it this alien may have applied at the police department as a candidate for what is humorously known in these parts as... Roswell's finest! How would you like to have that riding shotgun while on patrol?

Laying all kidding aside, The Roswell city council was looking for ways to create more income for the City. The former Plains Theatre was converted into the International UFO Museum in 1992. The mayor, Tom Jennings and an oilman Stand Crosby organized the first Roswell UFO Festival in 1995. The annual event was later officially recognized and fully endorsed by the city starting in 1996.

At our 35th RHS 1962 Reunion in 1997, Fred Tucker jokingly admitted he had a hand in the UFO event as well... (which would not be hard to believe!)

You may be correct, before any city license is approved, a new business just might be required to have an "alien theme..."

May the gods forbid, a huge flying saucer is found... half buried in the lawn of the Courthouse!!

I have often wondered about this...

Rex Booth

Yeah Fred, I hear you.

The "so-called" no-call list...  

When I moved back to Roswell, I kept my California mobile number. Why? New Mexico politicos looking for your vote will call you day and night and bug the daylights out of you, that is... if you have a New Mexico land line or mobile number. 

Fred Miller

Half of Congress is texting me for donations right now.  I have been blocking numbers left and right (no pun intended). 

And from the sound of 3 or 4 texts from DJT Jr. and his brother Eric, DJT Sr. Is upset with me for not answering his texts to be the voice of Texas in some polls. 

And my my favorite text almost daily for the last 6 to 8 months from the RNC, if I don't sign and send $35 immediately, my RNC membership is going to be cancelled at midnight that night.

It gets kind of ridiculous after awhile.

Rex Booth

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having to block spam texts and emails. Pleased you could find some humor in thier ploys. One could always write a proposed bill to curtail  "Harassment by Congress"... send 35 bucks... just in case! 

Rex Booth

Quiz... 

What U.S. city was once known as the “Rubber Capital of the World”?

John Landess

As a former hot shot service manager of Goodyear, I would say Akron, Ohio....

As to the calls, my super smart son says just delete from your call list. If you 'block' them, this alerts them that yours is a good number, and you will continue getting calls with a variety of sending numbers. I don't know if this is so, but since I started doing it, it seems that the volume of calls has lessened.: 

You might change your answering message.....something like: " City Morgue, please leave a detailed message" ;)
