This page is dedicated to my BEST FRIEND, Barbara Holt,
who recently passed from this world and MUCH TO SOON.

Barb, being a Rookie to the internet, told me she had learned
how to best use the internet thru the use of my Silly Site.
Hugsies and many Thanks for the roses my dearest friend!!!

Thanks so much for being such a great friend to me over the years.
I'll miss you so very much Sweet Lady. May your soul Rest in Peace.

Linda "Another best Friend" and Silly Barb.

Linda is a retired Rock Springs, Wy. Police Officer.
She's pictured above and sent the next one to me.
Linda's my BEST FRIEND now and we consider ourselves
to be as close as any true blood Sisters. She was
a long time resident of Wyoming. Brrrr!
She now lives in Redmond, Wa. next door to Microsoft.
Where's the umbrella Linda?

True Southerners and their sayings:

a hissiefit and a conniption fit.

7. True Southerners know instinctively that the best

How old is Grandma or Grandpa?
Stay with this - the answer is at the end -
It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about
current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he
thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age,
and just things in general. The granddad replied,

"Well, let me think a minute, I was born, before
television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods,
Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill.

There was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or
ball-point pens.

Man had not invented pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers,
clothes dryers, and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh
air and man hadn't yet walked on the moon.

Your grandmother and I got married first
and then lived together.

Every family had a father and a mother.

Until I was 25, I called every man older than I, 'Sir'-
and after I turned 25, I still called policemen and
every man with a title, 'Sir.'

We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare
centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the
Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.

We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong
and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

Serving your country was a privilege;
living in this country was a bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.

Having a meaningful relationship meant
getting along with your cousins.

Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors
when the evening breeze started.

Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in
the evenings and weekends not purchasing condominiums.

We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric
typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.

We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the
President's speeches on our radios.

And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his pains out
listening to Tommy Dorsey.

If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan' on it, it was junk.

The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.

Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.

We had 5 & 10 cent stores where you could
actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.

Ice cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi
were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could
spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail one letter and 2 postcards.

You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600 but who could afford one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day, 'grass' was mowed, 'coke' was a cold drink,
'pot' was something your mother cooked in,
and 'rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby.
'Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office, 'chip' meant
a piece of wood, hardware' was found in a hardware store,
and 'software' wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe
that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.

No wonder people call us "old and confused"
and you say there is a generation gap! ...

So how old do you think I am ???.
This person today would be only 58 years old!
