A picture from the Past.
For Today:
I didn't think I would use that number headline thing, BUT do you understand the topic? I really do not. I also do not know what ‘trolling’ is, in
today’s language. I have trolled while fishing, all my life, but I have never trolled people, how do you do that? Drag a steak behind you? :-O
I actually smile, because I
remember when my mama & dad had no idea what ‘cool’ was. LOL
“Made in the shade with
table grade!” that was cool in my day.
One of my dad’s sayings (from the EARLY1900s):
‘That ain’t worth a hill of beans!’
Hey, Daddy-O
‘That’s the living end!’
Every generation has it’s coined
phrases. I have gone thru a few of
course, but it is getting harder to make sense of the use of newer ones.
I do look them up and ‘gas lighting’ makes a little sense. Trolling also does, but I don’t see them
becoming part of my vocabulary. But hey,
if I live to be 115 yrs old, heck I just might adapt some.
Oh, there is another thing
of concern today, weapons. I have been asked several times, ‘Do you carry?’ Now believe it or not, I know exactly what they
are asking. My only answer is, ‘One never knows, does one?’
I have friends who ‘carry’,
they are proud of it and many pull it for show.
Not me. IF and I say IF I carry, the only person to know that will be
the one holding up a convenience store, etc if I am around.
I am not against personal weapons. They have honestly saved lives on several
occasions. On other occasions injury/deaths
have occurred unnecessarily because of ignorance. I am an expert with handgun
and rifle. I broke the range record once at Parris Island, the pity was, it was
not officially on a qualification day. LOL
I carried a weapon several
years in in the Corps, I still remember the serial #, 1572057. I still own a
couple and hope there is never a cause to use one against my fellow man.
Anyway, I do see LIFE different now at 85 than I did at 17. LOL.
So just don’t be a Party Pooper
or a Ding-a-ling. Some people are Wet Blankets.
But it would be better to be a Beatnik, they were cool. Just don’t be a square or a turkey!

I know all those sayings but what gets me are the letters when posting...like LOL, IDK, etc. I know a few but sometimes I just shake my head! We have weapons in the house but as far as carrying so far I just have a few extra pounds I'm carrying! Ha! Happy Halloween Jack and Sherry!
Well, I don't carry. lol - except the few extra pounds yaya mentioned which I am trying to shed.
I have heard of those words - and one I hear a lot is woke - I sort of understand it and sort of don't.
Gaslighting was the name of an old movie from 1944 - where the husband was trying to make his wife think she was crazy!
What a fun topic! I remember more than a few.
Yes, I believe one should never pull his/her 'piece' if they're not intending to use it. Threaten someone, and they're likely to take it away from you before you even realize what's happening.
Another one we used to say is, I kid you not.
