The subject of Tab Cola came up today as we were enjoying, for a limited time, Coke Lime.

Does anyone remember the commercials? Could you imagine this today? So freaking sexist!

My Tab story.

My momโ€™s middle sister was like the lady in the commercial. Thin, elegant, and impeccable taste.

We used to do these family jaunts out on the salt flats behind the dunes and crab and fish all day. Weโ€™d load up the two middle uncles 4-wheelers (the uncle in the hospital had a โ€˜73 Bronco, and the other a โ€˜74 K5 Blazer) and make a day of it.

That particular day my parents didnโ€™t go but I did. And promptly sucked down all the 7Upโ€™s and water. Baking in the summer heat, and pretty thirsty from doing kid stuff, I went to the cooler and there it wasโ€ฆnothing but TABโ€ฆbecause thatโ€™s what my Aunt drankโ€ฆprobably due to that commercial!๐Ÿคฃ

I had to drink that crap the rest of the dayโ€ฆIโ€™m pretty sure it did lasting damage. ๐Ÿคฎ
 
I hope your uncle is doing better!

When i read this, tho, I was thinking it would be cool if your uncle could strangle people and crush their windpipes from his hospital with his kind from his bed like darth vaderโ€ฆ

Sorry - donโ€™t mean to make light of itโ€ฆ but thatโ€™s where my fevered brain goes with itโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚
LOL! Wouldnโ€™t that be coolโ€ฆheโ€™d do it too! Heโ€™s ready to go home.

Heโ€™s doing well. O2 levels are back up, His extremities are warming up. I felt his hand yesterday and it was ice cold. Took momma today and they had a good visit. The last of two of six kids. Both of them with health issues. Sux watching your family dwindle and get run down, but both of them were joking and having fun.
 
Worked at the farm today. We are hosting a tree planting on Friday and we wanted it to look nice.

It sorta rained all afternoon. Just a steady drizzleโ€ฆ but by the time i really noticed, I was soaked. I wanted to do more, but we got enough done.

Then we watched the Indiana /Oregon game. It was a good one. I love big 10 football and my mom was an Indiana alum.
Osu won as well
 
I've turned on my furnace. I need to learn how to change the filter. My nephew is coming here; he will show me.
Itโ€™s super easy. Glad you have a good resource!!
He's right - easy, peasy.
When I replaced my furnace, the guys took a marker and wrote an arrow on the cover for where the filter goes. That way I never have to guess which way the filter goes in - I just match the arrows. It's awesome b/c I never thought to look at the arrows until I was putting the new filter in... and the old one was by then folded up in the trash. :rolleyes: :LOL:

Really??? Now we're going to do like the PB and correct grammer, speeling, and sintax????
Hey! I resemble that remark... I consider the threads as a form of Grammar Police Therapy. :ROFLMAO:
There are extra spaces between your periods, Wat.

Unneeded.

Always more to learn.
Today it's more sneaky than overt... but still there.
Women are typecast more in US ads than anywhere else

๐Ÿซ‚ So glad the two were able to connect and have such a wonderful visit together!!

Indiana is for real: good coaching. Oregon is a good team but young. So like UM which is also a young team, they make mistakes. The losses are good learning experiences.
 
Good morning Sunday morning dwellers of the greasy spoon. Lots of football upsets yesterday. More football today. My plan - take it easy. View attachment 2570611
Right there with you. Missed the early games as I was carting momma around most of the afternoon. Had fun with cousins and hanging with my uncle. We eventually had to go look for a new dryer for momma. Seems the kids have worn hers out!๐Ÿ˜‚.

We have gale force winds today. It rained all day yesterday, but itโ€™s windy and damp. After this front pushes we get some cool weather finally.

Everyone have a great Sunday!

The countdown for HMMZ continuesโ€ฆ

Up. Coffee. Drippy rain outside. Some website thinks that my life will be infinitely more gooderer with this new-on-sale rifle scope. I think that I can wait. Maybe at least until next week. Kitten is holding down the desk papers. Shooping list is made. As soon as clothes are on for goin' out, out will then be gone.
