Are you an old antique (Page 6): You could give me algebra problems until there are ice cubes in hades, put a gun to my head and might as well shoot me as await my solving the problem.

Quid pro quo; and you AntiE could put a gun to my head and might as well shoot me, as await my completing a post with good and proper grammar.

My late Father and I had a standing joke as to which was more important, math sk**ls or reading/writing sk**ls. He use to tell me I had to be better at math to run my budget, balance my checkbook, etc. I use to look at him and say, "Daddy, if I cannot read, I do not know to call you (he was a CPA) if the IRS sends me letter about my taxes." :D The compromise was once per quarter I presented him with my checkbook. He went through it with his "fine tooth comb".

Sorry to be gone awhile, AuntiE...and others.

The Sgt. Major, with her unlimited capacity for mercy and compassion, issued me a temporary pass to spend time with friends for lunch and play.

Either that, or she wanted to be rid of me for a period of time.

I am back, and need to catch up with the latest postings.
Has anyone mentioned "swamp coolers"?

I too was gone for a while. Before leaving, I was seeking to care for your well being. You best seek out the comments.

I immediately remembered, "For every he and she."

Below is the rest of it;

"It's plain to see that you can tell it is me with my checkered hat and my checkered coat, the funny giggle in my throat and my silly dance like a billy goat. Put 'em all together..put 'em all together and it's Whoooo?

I do not think anyone remembers beyond, "fun for he and she" until it was time to say "Pinky" after the "Whoooo?"

It appears that "Salty", aka "OldGringo", had my back.

I suspect that, perhaps, you and my Sgt. Major may be on "speed dial" with each other. I must be wary!

Hey, Salty, you got a spare room...for another antique?

I'm confused (again), AuntiE. How is it you're able to recall the lyrics to a song from a '50s show that hasn't been syndicated for years, if ever? I am impressed...unless your Mother/big sister wrote them down for you!

Thanks, Salty. It's always good to have an emergency plan to protect antiques.

Notice how I make use of the thread topic in my post?

I thought it was fish last evening. Did she take you bird hunting today? :lol: :mrgreen:

We are both correct, AuntiE. We, indeed had the fish she caught. I had a sidedish of "crow" with my fish. I always tell her "today...is my day to catch".

Tonight, I eat crow from my questioning your source of knowing the lyrics to the Pinky Lee Show. You put me in my place with your response...one I should have foreseen. I was "crowing", in effect...prematurely.

I saw/read your LOL. I was letting you know I understood the foolhardiness of doubting the capability of the fairer (?) sex. Worse yet, you/she understood it.

Sigh......

I am, once again, eating "crow"...so to speak!
