they're known as marmite cars in the uk.

you either love them or hate them.

i love mine.. what do you think?.

Everything you wrote helps and is on the mark. I thought that mileage was considered low, given the truck's age. But, I'm sure you're correct. All my jobs are within a few miles of home, my monthly mileage being some 200 miles. So the gas issue isn't too horrible. I Googled my truck and its particulars and bad gas mileage is a complaint many owners wrote about. Repairs for an old vehicle can be pricey.

What you said is what I've already figured on -- drive it till it dies. I go nowhere to speak of, but traveling beyond the borders of my community might be nice!

Look forward to seeing more, when you are able to post, Blondie and GrreatTeacher.

Swimming pools are a lot of work and are often a detriment towards a property's sale, GrreatTeacher. Thanks, Blondie, for the description of your wonderful garden. Your "guests" must appreciate what you tell them. Below is a photo, circa 1950, of me in front of Nana's garden. She taught me gardening, a debt I could never repay.

Only recently did I learn how to transfer photos from my ancient Apple to my DELL (in use now). When Simon went to https, the Apple no longer allowed replies to JWD. You just have to know all the "back doors," I guess!

Gratefully, . . .

Looks good!

I have a '93 GMC compact pickup truck (lorry?) that's paid for, runs great, but "nothing" works: electric windows, heater, instrument panel, etc. Oh, the gas mileage is terrible, although it's a six cylinder.

Does having a vehicle that's low mileage -- 110,000 miles -- trump laying out the cash and buying a new vehicle?

Sure would love to lower the windows (AC works fine).

A local has already set out his tomato plants, which is not recommended till May.

Where is that lovely old thread "where are you from?"

by clarity in

big hello again to all.

there was an old thread, many pages long, where we could say where we lived in the world.. many just put the country but others told a bit about their hometowns.. i cannot seem to find it and just wondering if this still exists ....blondie maybe??.

now that there are so many of us, it might be pretty fantastic to know how many potential friends we have living in our areas.

Wow, Pete Zahut:

On FHN's hometown thread, Mulan posted a view of the Seattle Space Needle and commented that Mt. Rainier was hiding behind the clouds that day.

THANKS!

FlyHighNow's thread (link above):

When I was almost seven, we moved from the gulf coast town of Mobile, Alabama to Morgan City, Louisiana. On Brashear Avenue, which was also Highway 90, the Gulf Coast Hwy, going towards the now old Atchafalaya Bridge, there was a shrimp boat in the middle of the road called The Spirit of Morgan City. At Christmas time they decorated it with a Santa on the front and his reindeer out front, as if it were Santa's mode of transportation through cajun country, rather than his regular sleigh.

This was one of the coolest landmarks of any small town I have lived in. This picture is not the best view of Spirit of Morgan City. What landmarks do you remember fondly from your hometown? Share pics if you can. I hope this pic will show up. If not, I will find a way to post it.

Dear Friends,

One of my greatest enjoyments is a daily walk. I see things in far greater detail than when I am driving by. Naturally! The beautiful architectural design of a particular home and its landscaping, for example, are always of major interest to me.

Today was incredibly beautiful, with a crackling-hot feel to the air. I was awed by the deeply-hued, stately pines and glossy-leafed, black oaks, set against a sky of deepest blue. In the foreground were well-rounded oleanders, whose scarlet blossoms and snow-white blossoms filled the air with their heavy, sensuous perfume. I even spied a novel specimen with salmon-colored blossoms. Far in the distance proudly sat, bolt-upright, the world's smallest mountain range: "When God was creating the mountains, some mud fell out of His hip pocket," so the legend goes.

An hour-and-a-half never passed so quickly; I was exhilarated.

What's it like in your neck of the woods?

JW.Org claims they have fullfilled Jesus command to preach in all the inhabited earth.Have they really done that ? I dont think so.

by smiddy in

apart from the fact that they have mainly followed in the footsteps of christendom before them what virgin territories have they ever gone to that christendom before them has not gone to .

i would think none.. how many lands ,countrys ,are their that they have never made any significant inroads into ?.

we are not talking about token service in any of these countrys in major cities , but a real door to door witness to every individual householder that gets it every few months as in western lands.. some that i can think of : north korea ,mainland china , bangladesh ,india , pakistan , jordan , israel , iran , syria ,burma ( sorry cant think of the new name ).
