My father and I went to town earlier. First stop was the nursing home to visit my mother. She's a little better today which isn't saying much. She was alert and at least knew we were there. My younger sister and her other half are supposed to be coming down from Pennsylvania and her daughter will be coming from Colorado to pay her a visit. Time is short and they won't be getting many chances.From there we went to Captain D's for lunch then to Wal-Mart then back home.That so far has been the extent of my day.

Good luck with that.
You remind me of me, from when I was a much younger man and knew so much more than I do now. I was a angry young man then.
I myself am kind of tired of all of those who say, " I / we want our country back." Tell that to the native Americans that your and my ancestors stole it from and see what they have to say, Life is change, teach your children well.
Jeffery, prayers for your mother.

Brent,
I agree with you wholeheartedly. My take home pay last year was a miserable pittance. I have a daughter in college and trying to support her, even in Florida (to a certain extent). I work long miserable hours and my commute is ridiculous, by my standards.
I was told I should go on food stamps, some kind of federal or state assistance and the state will take care of my medical for my daughter.
I can't and won't do it. Like you, my father's mother side can be traced to the Mayflower II. My family is dotted with those that has arose to make, protect and defend this great country. I have 2 nephews in military service and a brother serving in hostile territory.
Those that leech off the system and steal from people like Ryan should be racked like the old days. There should be a hand up and not a hand out.
Ryan, it absolutely sucks that you have to go through this. I feel for you. Make the right changes, don't panic and the ship will right itself and you will be better off for it. There are honest people around, some times they're just hard to find.

Evening all, Well I broke down and bought Standard Catalog Of Lionel Trains: 1945-1969 Seems to have a lot of what I always want to know about post war trains like what years and what was in what set.
Brent agree I have always felt when they 1 stopped parents from being able to give a wake up attention getter spanking but not to extremes and they took god out of the school is when all this Bull started. I feel we wouldn't have half the problems with a lot of the trouble maker/lazy youths that you see so rampant sorry to the good ones as I'm not including you in this but there more bad than good from what I can see and take the dang cell phone/what ever other type of electronic device that they can text or what have you with, from them especially in school. end of rant sorry stepping off of soap box.
Evening all just relaxing and getting ready to call it a night. hope you all had a good day.

Ohayō,
I had to be at work early today; nothing major is going on, I just had to cover some things for the boss. I am enjoying a quick coffee break now to write a brief post. The weather is nice and cold, and there’s a possibility more snow may come tonight or tomorrow – I hope so. It’s time to get back to work so I can take the wife out for lunch.
I guess Brent posted something that ended up being deleted. Otherwise I missed it somehow.
Jack – I would write the letter and post the comment. Even if one person reads the comment and decides not to buy from them, then you helped someone out and affected their business. Trainworld refunded me half the shipping cost so I am pleased, even though the package still isn’t here.
Kev – Same here on the conversation the other night. I might be able to chat longer this weekend.
And who says train buffs aren’t well-rounded. Just look at the Poe references. I hope all you sick folks get well soon.
Sayonara,
Joe
Good evening.
Looks as if we might get more snow mixed with sleet. If I'm not on tomorrow, that's why. However, I don't think it'll be that bad. I think we'll have school, and maybe not any delay.

RT: nobe..cad speag broberly..too stubbed ub....
Ryan: I really wonder what happened to these 'individuals' ...so ungrateful the lot of them. My suggestion? Fire those that were caught red handed and watch the others real close. Don't just close up the firm over these louts.
It might be different if you feel burnt out over this..take some time off..and see how that goes.
KRM Brent Good luck with that. You remind me of me, from when I was a much younger man and knew so much more than I do now. I was a angry young man then.

Many schools are now issuing e-readers because they are cheaper than issuing books. I tend to agree with this. There are schools around here where they issue an e-reader, and some even laptops, and some both, when you start middle-school, then high-school. They then make the text books and assignments available for download to the various devices. If a child loses their device(s) or damages them the family is responsible for replacing it. Pretty good controls in place too that help keep track of it all, so far very few reports of fraud, etc - Not sure if the kids turn them in after the school year or if the keep the devices throughout their schooling.As for cellphones - depends on the child. Some are responsible, others aren't - it happens and IMHO it starts at home with Mom & Dad. Oh - and all schools in the area ban their use during school hours, unless there is an emergency then they can use them in the presence of a teacher/administrator.

^^^ Why I stay away from the forum for months on end ^^^
Thank you BOC,
Ignorantly??????????
Brent, Don't take it to PM I am not interested, grow up, spit out the spoon. No trash talk here.
This is the same person who would not post for months because someone wanted to know why it was okay a coach he liked let a sex offender loose on campus under his watch.. As someone else would post
This is so sad, What did I do?? Medication my be needed here, but I am glad someone cleaned the counter off. I did not complain but I could never get something like that post past the post button, or would I even want or try to be so rude to someone else who has never done anything to deserve it.. It would not be a very good essay to show any tolerance in raising children.
I am good with it.
Well I have to crash early, work tomorrow, driving up to Milwaukee for the car dealer to deliver or pick up some cars. So you all can trash me when I am gone.
Night.
Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.

Just do what I am going to do and walk away. After ten years, I can't take it anymore.
If anyone needs me, you know where to find me.
Thought I would stop by, perhaps I came at a bad time....
TCA#09-63805
Single digit lows, sunny during the day with about 30 degree highs for the past couple of days.
V8 - A bit of automotive trivia for you - the TR3 engine was based on a tractor engine. It is said that they had good low end 'grunt' but not much top end. I had a Spitfire for a while. Fun car. The swing axle rear suspension taught me all about 'tailing throttle oversteer".
Brutus - We missed you, you didn't miss us. My wife and I got to the train show about 1:30 on Sunday. Bought a book, traction tires for my 'new' 4-6-2, and a MKT medalion that was a Post cerial giveaway. Got 'thrown out' of the MTH booth for mentioning an orange bag too.
All for now.
I thought that I was getting bitten on when I got thrown out of Starbuck's for asking whether they had any REAL coffee...

You are part of the 1% so you can afford it! At least that is what our Media, and the 99% would want everyone else to believe. We used to have a term for those 'occupy' freeks... squatters, freeloaders, worthless pieces of human excriment... ----- I WAS SUPPORTING RYAN - KEV!!!!!!! Got it?-----If you want to discuss the framing of Paterno I will do so offline, I will not do it here as the FACTS that I have cannot be posted here.
Oh I understood your post and why it is gone, Easy to defend something no one can see. And even if you don't know it, I knew you were supporting Ryan but at the cost of others you would just dump in the ditch. You just need a few more years under you, and your young and not so smart belt and those kids of yours will set you right,
And the "framing" of Paterno??? Get a life. To each his own.
The last reply, Sorry if you want to get into this Jimmy T. It seems you don't like anything? I have no problems with you. You know the hard road.
Sooooooo - why don't we talk about something a little less controversial for a while. Anybody have any good religious or political wars that want to start?
Sorry - come on guys, let's all calm down for a while and just have a nice cuppa and think about YORK in April and Old Mills by the fireplace. I am happy to report that Char broke her fever finally and took a turn for the better. It's a good thing she had that flu shot, because otherwise she might have gotten much worse. Overall, we are doing really well now.
Got a new TCA magazine and also a flyer from the Ozark Division. I need to contact TCA and get a copy of my current card or something for April, as I can't find one they sent me the last time I renewed? Or do they not send a new one each year now?
TARDIS is ready and we have some goodies - you all turn on your beacons and let's just have a nice relaxing time. Maybe watch a movie on the big screen? TTFN!
PS - Prayers for your Mom, Jeff.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

This guy attacks me and the mods delete MY post DEFENDING MYSELF... this is beyond ridiculous... I'm done with this site. MODS - Please delete my account.
OK...Look...enough of this Kindergarten klopperei...we are adults right?
Try to imagine that you can ACT like one....
Defending yourself by accusing someone else of being an Internet Tough Guy?
Roight...
. I attacked no one. And named no one in tonight's post, in fact I left a very short post.. But sense you brought it up, we do have opposite opinions on a very important subject.
