OT September Chit Chat

[Howie]

I've always loved that song. I remember when it came out. Those were the days of AM radio, and when they would play it over the loud speakers at the pool I LIVED at, and the whole pool would come alive. Look at young Ozzy!

[SalpalSally]

They must all be males. LOL!

For females he'd w ear his thong!!

I've always loved that song. I remember when it came out.

Me too. This is what I was listening to when the other girls were into David Cassidy and Donny Osmond.

Agate, what's an iron??

ANN

[agate]

Agate, what's an iron??

ANN

My mother remembered when these were in common use. Very simple, no cords involved. You heated them up on the stove. You did have to use a towel or a potholder to hold them because they were usually iron throughout and got quite hot. A nuisance though because they also cooled off fairly fast and you had to heat them up again.

[Howie]

Vicky, I always knew you were a rockin' rollin' hip chick! Rock on!

Agate, I have an iron used a few times at most, by a guest I had. I'm like Ann, I don't believe in ironing. I would have given it to you.

At this time of day, and in this heat, I went to the dump and grocery store. I'm set until next week!

[stillstANNding]

Howie - you read my mind. I don't believe in ironing but grew up ironing everything.

Agate - I have my Great Aunt Christine's iron that is like that in your picture except thicker.

ANN

[Howie]

I've seen an iron like that somewhere. I think a grandmother had it, and now my sister has it on a shelf. A display of times gone by.

My granny had an old washing machine until her death that washed the clothes, then you fed each into 2 rollers that squeezed the water out. a Singer I want to say, but it was long ago, and now I'm her age when I first saw her wash clothes.

The perfect circle.

(Vicky, ever heard that band?)

[Frog42]

(Vicky, ever heard that band?)

What band? The washing machine band?

I looked up Perfect Circle and see they're musicians. I've never heard any of their songs.

[Howie]

You would like them I'm sure. Not hard, or soft, just creative musicians.

[Howie]

Sorry, I see they charge for EACH song. America.

[agate]

They don't seem to be charging for this one ("Judith"):

Thanks Agate. I was just listening, and let the songs run, and I guess they might be considered Hard Rock. I had never heard some, like the remake of John Lennon's "Imagine". But compared to the Rock I grew up with, they are middle of the road Rock.

[Howie]

Well, I'm a real rocker, I'm headed to bed at 9pm. I hate it, but my sleep cycle is all over the place. Good night all!

That poor lady would be dead from a heart attack before she ever got to her destination. Like said, we aren't close yet. It only has a chance of working if ALL cars are self driving. And Pinky hates the idea. She likes the way I shift gears.

If I can bring up this topic again, I didn't know that someone was in a fatal accident recently involving a Tesla on Autopilot. I hope someone will let me know if this link won't work. It's a New York Times article, and I can see about getting it here in some other way if necessary:
