  Being from Pittsburgh originally, our conventions were in Cleveland at the Convocation Center. That was 20 years ago. Is the same place used or is there another venue now? We used to stay at a motel in Westlake.

  the conversation soon got to spiritual subjects, this elder is company man all through and side kick well he's learning the ropes.

  bang mentioned snake antivenin, blood factions, then big geoffrey jackson saying presumptuous, then vin toole in the arc saying he had never heard of theocratic warfare.

  then told how god made exceptions to the rules on blood when soldiers ate unbled meat.

  I can't remember how many conventions I attended in Cleveland. Last one was in 1997. Since I lived in the Pittsburgh area, that's where we were assigned.

  You can't delete your old posts. You are in cyber space forever. Why do you want to delete them? Are you going back like the dog returning to its vomit?

  I saw and met Connie Francis in 1958 or 59 when she appeared at an amusement park in Western Pennsylvania. At the time, the park would bring big name stars to perform at the pavilion at least once a month. After her performance, she stayed to sign autographs for those who wanted one. I stood in line and waited and finally got to her. She shook my hand and asked my name and signed her name and mine. Wish I still had it! I was 12 years old then.

  Gas was all I've ever known in my life in Pennsylvania. But since I moved to Florida 3 and a half years ago,,, all I can have here is electric. To me, gas is the best but you learn to live and cook just as well with whatever you have available. Advantages to both!
