There always seems to be that kind of value in there somewhere. Yeah, I, I agree. Uh, do you like the sports programming? Yeah, uh-huh. Um, I, I enjoy those also, almost as, as much to a certain extent. I'm, our whole house is baseball fans Uh-huh. and, uh, we enjoy that, and, uh So you're going to watch a game tonight...
but, uh, you know, I'm, I'm annoyed that the Rangers got rid of him, and, uh, I'd like to see him do well, like all the way to the bank I guess Yes. Yeah, he's a nice guy. I take it you live in the Dallas area. Do you live in the Dallas area? Live in, live in Plano. Uh-huh, yeah, I live in Garland, and, yeah, I, I like...
Well, yeah, yeah, it's, uh, so I keep hoping the Rangers are going to do Yeah, one, one year they, maybe they'll make it, I don't know Right. so, but, uh, yeah, I like sports programming quite a bit, but, uh, I guess my, my favorite shows are the, and, you know, that getting back to the point that you made, that's real...
and and, uh, you know, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm an adult Yeah. Yeah. and I have adult tastes now, but I don't need that Yeah, yeah. uh, I, I like things that, uh, are, are wholesome, I guess. Yeah, well that, that seems to be more our values, too, like the WONDER YEARS, I, I mean, it's kind of risque stuff for, maybe fo...
and it's funny because the shows, like a lot of them that used to be considered risque, like THREE'S COMPANY and stuff, I think they, they maintained, people would watch them because there was that, uh, you know, there was really the period that was going on there, I mean, he really wasn't messing around with the girls...
I stay home also. Do you have children? Yes, I have two, a seven year old and three and a half year old. Oh, that's good. How about you? I have four girls Oh. they're nine and five and three and a newborn. Oh, my, you are busy Yes, and they're all girls, I have two girls, so, all girls around here Girls are nice, aren'...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, that's funny. and they're all in boxes or bags, and they all rotate all the time kind of the same stuff all the time, though, Yeah. I don't, uh, get a whole lot new right now, Yeah. Yeah, I know that's kind of how I am. I said, who ever I talk to is going to be board, because when it's summer time, ...
I just, I find I have to get the right kinds, though, or it's not comfortable Yeah. they, it, it works best if they have pleats in the front Right, yeah. and, uh, they have to, my waist is kind of small compared to the hips, so it has to be not the straight up and down levis kind Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. Well,...
but, uh, One of my daughters was born in June, and I remember, I wore sundresses and, you know, just those real cool dresses almost the entire time Yeah, yeah. And I had one that was born in December, so, um, it was a little bit, because it was a real warm winter Uh-huh. so even, even into like November and December I ...
and it's just great because you can put, you know, you can decorate them up, or dress them up, if you want, Yeah. or you can just wear them with, you know, tennis shoes if you want. So they're really nice and I've enjoyed wearing those Uh-huh. but I, I don't know if they expected us to talk about blazers and such here ...
and I would be burning up, like in the summer time Oh. by the time I got home I was like, Oh, I've got to get out of these clothes I, I remember that from when I was, I worked way before I was married, even, but offices, they keep them so cold in the summer that you can't wear regular summer clothes and be comfortable ...
I was afraid I'd make the car overheat. It's hard on the car. Yeah, so I would roll my windows down, it was still a hundred degrees Oh. and I would just be sweltering hot by the time I picked my daughter up, and um, I had a friend who used to take shorts to work, Yeah. and after work she'd go in the bathroom and change...
when you have children, you don't, um, even when I go to church I have to have something I can just throw in the washer when I'm through. That's right, something that it doesn't matter if it gets spit up on, too I know it. I've always been a creature of comfort, too Me, too. if it's not comfortable, forget it. I know, ...
but most of them are gone now Uh. so there, there might be, but we were taking, you know, uh, four, five and six people out Yeah, that makes a difference, doesn't it. Yes. What area of the country do you live in? I'm in Texas. Yes, I am, too. But, And we we lived in Ohio prior to this. I did, too. I'm from the Dayton a...
That's right. and then you're stuck and it's a pain to have to stand there and see what it is before you leave Yes. so I really don't like the drive-thrus that much. I, I like to go and eat there. But I would say service, uh, atmosphere, and whether the food is good, and on going out, I like steaks. So, we try to hit t...
right, I know. My husband likes, uh, Dairy Queens. He likes their milk shakes and their chili cheese dogs, I guess, Uh-huh. so he's a fan of, of Dairy Queen, and, and we'll go even in town here at times, just as a, a change although I'm not that excited about it. Uh-huh. But we've eat, we eat out so much it's gotten so...
And we, uh I sort of favor the ones, if I have a coupon we can go there and if not we can't, because it's cheaper Uh-huh. so mine is, monetarily, I guess strongly monetarily based. Uh, we'll go get pizza and, uh, at Little Caesar's, although the kids prefer Domino's. Oh, we are Little Caesar fans here Right. that's whe...
Oh. so, I don't, we don't go there that much. Where do you go if you like to have a nice meal out, or a big meal? A nice meal, oh, Where do you go for steaks? It's usually when we're out of town Oh. and I'll order steak or steak and lobster combined Uh-huh. so it's really not in town. Oh. You ever been to Houston's on ...
but the food is good, and they've got a nice patio area that you can wait and get something to drink, unless you get there at five o'clock, then you can go right through. Right. But they have real good signature salads there and nice steaks, so, that's our nice place to go. We don't usually take the kids when we go the...
and I've been eating at home all week long with the kids and would like to go out somewhere, so we have a conflict of interests on the weekend. but I think it all began eating out when we had, uh, the boys in, in different, uh, baseball on baseball Right. it was mainly baseball teams Yes. and my husband would coach, so...
I enjoy the beach. Oh, I am, after our last summer's vacation I am antibeach. Antibeach. Uh-huh. We went to, uh, Cape Hatteras. Uh-huh. Well, we, we were out visiting one of our kids in Maryland, and we went down to Cape Hatteras for a few days. Uh-huh. And, uh, uh, the, the waves were huge. I've never quite seen waves...
Uh-huh. So I'm never going to another beach again, ever. I'm You might be like I am. I enjoy, I enjoy going to the beach and to beach areas, but I really don't like to get in the water, the ocean. I prefer a swimming pool Well, I, I love to go and play around. At least I always did but although actually, my, I like the...
That would be nice. and someday I hope we can afford to just take a humdinger of a vacation up there. Uh-huh. I know I've taken several vacations to Colorado, and I used to live in Colorado, oh, sometime ago for a couple of years, and I really enjoyed that. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'd, I'd like that. Uh, I haven't been to Yellow...
You got that. Oh, I'm, we usually go up to Wisconsin at least once a year because this is where my husband and I are both from. Uh-huh. And my mother and his mother live up there feeling lost and alone because we moved down here Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And, uh, we've got one of our, our kids lives out on the east coast and so ...
Uh-huh. And, uh, that, that's what I, um, you know, that's what I would like to do. I have no interest, for example, in taking a cruise. Uh-huh. To me why somebody would want to ride around on a boat for a few days is mind boggling. It would be sort of, I feel like it would be confining. Yeah. You know I would rather m...
I can, I can do that too, and, uh, you know, I think if I had, if I had the money, I would probably go to Europe every year. Because, you know, I think that they have, they have it all over there in just a few tiny, two, two miles. Uh-huh. You know, there's mountains and there's beaches and it's all right there. So, Ye...
So far I've been trying to call all day because I keep getting these subjects like capital punishment so football, I love this. Oh, yes. This is great. Well, we're from Colorado so we're Bronco fans And, um, we just moved here two years ago and they went to the Superbowl when we first moved here and they lost again. Th...
I think they're doing pretty well this year though. Well, they haven't, they haven't, have they just lost one game this year? I think two. Two. I know they lost, yeah, to Washington and Philadelphia. Yeah. But they're not doing bad. People are pretty surprised that they, I mean they beat the Giants. Yeah, and wasn't th...
or I probably wouldn't have been there. Yeah. Yeah, well, I am, I'm a big football fan. I never my father was a football fan my whole life and he used to have the football pool at the office and all this stuff and I just hated it. And I think I was just mad because he spent so much time watching football on Sundays. Ye...
And if you want to see them, you might just as well enjoy football. Yeah. And I used to tease my husband sometimes and say, my gosh did you bet the house or something this week to get so excited about, these games. Uh-huh. Well, I do. I just, I love it. It's such, I just think it's such a fun sport. And, uh, I'm just h...
We've only been married for five and a half years. And, uh, we have two small children, and he had a, uh, just got transferred here to E-Systems, so. Well, it will take you a little while but you'll probably always have a soft spot in your heart though for for Denver. Oh. Well, I tell you this, the weather here and the...
he was one of ours, one of our boys. That's what I hear. So we are never, we never cheer against Denver unless they're playing the Cowboys. Which is rare. Yeah. Which is good. Yeah. But, uh, I, you know, it's funny in, in Colorado when the Broncos went to the Superbowl three times in the last, I don't know, five or six...
But, they, they do a lot of fun things. I think football is, football is kind of a, a sport that I think you kind of, it's hard not to like it. Because you know there's just, Well, there is so much about it to like. It's exciting. You know it's so exciting. Yeah. And when the Cowboys won the Superbowl here, of course, ...
it seems to me like they really love their Cowboys here. Even when they were losing pitifully, you know, people still support them. We drive by some houses everyday that have big signs, we love the Are, are we paying too much in taxes, and are we getting what we pay for? What's your opinion? Well, it's kind of a broad ...
And it's nice to know something doesn't work or something doesn't exist, but, it could be put to more practical use. Yeah, and I, I think that, uh, it's a, a tone of our times that politicians, uh, are into themselves more than they are into, you know, doing something worthwhile for the people they represent, which is ...
What, what state do you live in? Texas. Okay. That's, What do you think about Robin Hood? Well I work for school district and, uh, it's, it has hurt us a lot. Uh, there has to be some way, I think, to equalize education opportunities. But, uh, you know, our, we, we tend to think, I think, especially big government, ten...
So, we're comparable. Yeah. As a matter of fact, I just paid my Richardson taxes because I live in Richardson and supplemented the Robin Hoods very thoroughly, I think. Yeah, I think we've, uh, Yeah, we have got it on the line don't we. Our taxes went up tremendously. Yes. And it's not going to get any better. you know...
That's, that's the biggest mess I've ever heard of. You know, how can you, how can you justify raising anybody's salary if you, you know, if you have to lay people off? Right. But, you know, I'm not going to complain because Plano got, we all got a pay raise this year. Yeah. You all got a pay raise this year. Yeah. Is ...
very much. Uh, course, I, I still work two part-time jobs So, it's not really total retirement. Well, it's interesting, you know, because when you look at what Richardson has done with the early retirement you, Jeri? Yes. We're supposed to discuss crime in the United States and what can be done with it. That's a rather...
that is so frightening. It is, you know, Uh, do you have children in school? No, mine are already in college now, so I don't have to, Yeah. at least when they were in high school, it was beginning but not like the rampages. Well, I have, my oldest is his first year in high school so we have all this to, to look forward...
and I, I really don't know what, what can be done. Yeah, well, I just, I just don't understand how, of course, in my little world, how guns could be so available. Well I don't either, but apparently they just really are. Uh I mean, to me, in Plano you would think that would be about, you know, about as innocent as you ...
And all the neighbors said they heard her yelling for help. Oh, no. But nobody, nobody did anything. I just can't imagine that. You know, I mean they heard someone calling for help. Nobody even called the police to say, you know, I hear a strange screaming Right. I'm afraid, you know, if you, I don't blame people with ...
but I think that's real dangerous and, uh, I don't know. I try to tell my kids just, just kind of be aware of what's around them, you know and if you see a situation that looks like it could be trouble, just get out of it or call for help, whichever. Yes. But, uh, Yeah, well, you know, the call for help is what scares ...
getting back to your son's football practice because it really sort of astonished me that police aren't doing, he didn't have a license for the gun, correct? I don't know. I mean, I don't know the details. This was not a child that was on the team. It was someone that, uh, you know, just kind of showed up at the field....
And, uh, uh, course I've been working on it for five years, but, you know, Oh, but how wonderful. Are you close to getting it done? Yeah, yeah, it's getting real close to Oh. you know, of course there's still a lot of work to be done, and then when you get it completely, you know, the shell finished, uh, you still have...
But it's beautiful, it's, you know, it's Eastern Hardwood, uh, forest, there are a lot of pine trees, but it's mostly oaks and . Oh, how beautiful, and it's pretty flat there? Well, it's kind of, hilly, but, it's, you know, low hills, it's not, uh, See, I've only been to Texas once. I have two sisters in Texas now, um,...
it's really different because that's kind of the, you know, that's the chalk hills down there, limestone hills, Oh, and you've always, lived in Texas, have you? Yeah, except for time in service. Uh-huh. Born and raised Texan, huh. Yeah. At, at which one? Well, I had never been there, that's pretty neat. My sisters bo...
That's great. But they seem to like it okay. I think they're too far away from me, but maybe some day they can get closer, Well, yeah, we'll see. Pretty good trip. So what do you, what kind of hobbies are you in? Well, I'm mother of four, so basically I'm just, real busy with my kids right now in sports, and we have a ...
and I'm enjoying it. I'm around my kids That's pretty easy substituting isn't it? yeah, it's great, it's great, and what else do I do, I do lots of cross stitching when I have time Ooh. and I enter things in our little state fair, and that's pretty fun. That's great. Well, but, actually my hobbies is mostly is my sport...
we snow ski. We snow ski at Mount Bachelor mostly in Oregon, Uh, that's great. have you ever been there? No, uh, Wonderful place. I've skied in Colorado and we usually go to New Mexico because it's a little cheaper, you know. Ooh. Uh-huh. Where in Colorado? I've been to Telluride which is on the west side and, uh, Copp...
Me, too. You guys, are you guys getting snow? We, it is snowing right now. We're to get one to three inches tonight. Oh, gee, I heard Aspen got three feet. Oh, yeah, well we're, we are on the dry side of the mountains. Seattle is only about two and a half hours, so of course I'm a real Seahawks fan Yeah. and, um, going...
and we've, we have been to Whistler in Canada, which is just a marvelous place, Whistler and Black Home is in Canada, and then we've gone to Sun Valley several times, that's a, just a great place. But no not in Colorado since I was in college, since I went to school, What about Utah? Haven't been there, I keep hearing ...
that's great. Well, my boys are at the point where they scare their mommy to death. Uh-huh. When they're skiing they're fearless, and they go off, Okay. When they first said the subject, my mind went kind of blank. I thought, Gee, I haven't taken anything back for a long time. Well, I haven't either, uh, I, I hate retu...
Now we've had one lately, um, oh, a, uh, a Dustbuster Plus that we bought, Uh-huh. and we've had it for a while, but all of a sudden it just wasn't working, and it looks like there's a part missing from it. My husband opened it up and whatever, and of course we don't have the receipt any more, so we can't take it back ...
Right. Right. And you usually get what you pay for. We bought some walkie-talkies a couple of years ago for Christmas, and they were like ten dollars, and we expected them to work nice for the little kids, and they didn't work worth anything Uh-huh. So we took those back, and that's about that all that were taken back ...
Oh, really. It's hard. We never could get it declared a lemon, and the car would go and, without any warning whatsoever, you could be going down the freeway at sixty and it would stop Oh, wow. and I, there was just, you know, and, oh, we went round and round with the manufacturer and, and everything, and they got it fi...
and, uh, you know, I still don't have any, anything to do there, but, But I, I think, too, a lot of people don't buy their warranties either because they know that when it's that old they're going to buy a new one, Uh-huh. so. Well, I think that's true, and I, uh, now we generally don't buy a warranty, because you thin...
I think you've got a good point with the plastic and that. About quality. I don't think necessarily that, things are being made better uh, you know, Right. I, I, everything is so automated, uh, and things can be made without, I think a human hand ever touching it, you know an awful lot of things, Yeah, Yeah. and I thin...
Well, you keep up with current events? Um, somewhat. Yeah, somewhat Not, not as well as I would like to probably Is that right? but that's the way it goes. Yeah, where, whereabouts in Pennsylvania. What? Where in Pennsylvania? Um, State College, I go to Penn State. Oh, do you, well, great. Yep. How's, uh, well no, we'r...
We're supposed to talk about current events. Right, exactly, uh. Well, I'm a current event junkie. So I, I watch, I try to watch the news, and I read the newspaper, and I like to read TIME magazine and PEOPLE magazine to keep up with what's going on in the world. I see. Well, what particularly are you interested in? We...
But I always have been Uh-huh. and I stay up with it. But, uh, how do you, how do you, uh, stay aware of most of the current events. Uh, newspaper? T V news, or what? Um uh, well, some of both. Uh-huh. I read, I read the newspapers sometimes Uh-huh. and I watch C N N, that sort of thing occasionally Right. Yeah, that's...
yes, uh-huh. Oh, you've been there and, yeah. well, you would be interested in it then. Right, exactly. Yeah, uh, I follow it, you know, I don't just read everything about it, but I'm always aware of what's going on like that Yep, and, uh, because it is, it's interesting Uh-huh. and, uh, I don't know, I feel sorry for ...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and I think it's been better since he died, but it's still been bad Yeah. but, uh, even that priest that was in control there for a while that they overthrew, uh, I've read some things about him that he was, he wasn't too good himself. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he was pretty, pretty much a, he didn't mind having ...
I think it's pretty darned good, I think we're lucky to have as good a coverage as we have Uh-huh. I really do. Now, I, they sometimes they jump on it and, and, and go a little to the extreme, the media does, but, uh, but, that's kind of understandable, because, you know, of course if you watch it more, more than once ...
I don't think so. I don't think our news could be better. Yeah. I, I mean, I mean, what else could they do to make it better. Um. I don't see anything that they could do. Yeah, well, I think that, um, I don't know. Well, you always want to think everything can be improved upon The, um, Right. I understand what you're s...
Uh-huh. Well, that's true, I understand what you're saying, and then again, I understand why they can't dig too much deeper, that's why we have C N N. Right. C N N has the time, since that's all they do is news to dig deeper. Uh-huh. Right. Uh, well, I, I guess it's a subject I haven't thought too much about. Uh, I don...
Problems with our educational system, a lot of it's due to money. Uh-huh. And they're trying to spend money where we don't have it and there's a lot of things we need that we just can't afford. Yeah. Well, it's, it is getting very expensive to run schools, so. Well it is. They've got computers now that you got to train...
and, uh, I think it should go right back to the parents. If you don't train your kids right then Right. Right. I feel the same way. A lot has to do with how the kids were raised at home. Right, yeah. And then when the kids get to school, they try to take away a lot of things that they can do to discipline the kids. I m...
I feel that's got a lot to do with it. People aren't as afraid of misbehaving as they used to be. Right, right. Yeah It seems that'd be a subject that I, I don't have much to say on Really. We, we've talked some about it in my state because we've had a lot of, uh, our governor that just got thrown out of office was try...
they're teachers. And they may not know a lot about what they're teaching. Where they may have just had a teaching major and then had some social studies courses and they're trying to teach social studies. And they don't know a lot about that Right. Where maybe a physics professor, he, my professor was a physics profes...
one of the, there were four high schools in my county, one of the high schools was blown away by a tornado. So when they rebuilt that school, they had a, a top of the line, high tech school there. Uh-huh. And the other schools were built back in maybe the fifties or early sixties and then when, uh, the evaluation commi...
I know my son goes to a private school, but, uh, I think they're, big city public schools by definition are having a, a tough time right now just from, uh, probably from budget cuts and, and everything else going on. Uh, why did you choose a private school? Well, I had one that was needed to be able to be moved along a...
Yeah, it really is. Kind of gives them the, you know, I get a little leery of the real small ones that they don't get much interaction with kids but, uh, Yeah, that was, we were kind of looking for one that would be a mixture and he's done, he's done really well, So they don't, That's good. and just, he was just ahea...
Uh, one thing I think I've noticed is, uh, my oldest is in kindergarten, so I'm in a little different ballgame. You're just getting started. I'm just, starting her, but, uh, seems to me that, uh, kids these days, uh, can really get away with murder and the teachers don't have as much, aren't respected as much and, uh...
and, And, uh, the things they can say and do to a teacher and they do from what I understand, uh, I think that's wrong. I think we need to get back to the, show some respect and, course, I guess the teacher used to warrant that but, Yeah, but a lot of times it's not being taught in the home anymore like it used to be, ...
They have a whole lot more, uh, variety of things they they're, that they see and do at an earlier age, so life is not maybe as simple as it was at one time, but, but still, I think it goes back to a commitment by the parents to, to teach, uh, basic values and basic, uh, respectful of, uh, of authority. Right. And I ju...
Exactly. Yes. Because it was mini skirt time back there at one time. Yes, so it's really changed. It's, uh, really kind of gone the rounds, so I think that maybe that's effected it to some degree. They say you kind of act how you're dressed a little bit, so I, Yeah, I think that probably does have, have something to do...
Yeah. Well, considering you moved here from California, I guess, the rain for the past few weeks has been different than what you have down there. Yeah, we have, uh, in California, I'm in I lived in central California. We have rain couple times a year and other than that, you know, it would be maybe October and then in...
huh. Generally if we're going to get them, it's not going to happen, uh, prior to January one. Uh-huh. You may get a cold snap or two or some rain or something like we've been getting in December, but usually the bitterest weather, if we're going to have any, comes in January and February. Yeah. Um. Then by March thing...
and it's, it's really pretty. It's kind of nice to have it dry all the ground out before it rains again. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a, I'm a scoutmaster and so I wind up going out camping with, uh, a bunch of boys at one time and so, it's better for us if it hasn't been this totally wet before we go Uh-huh. Yeah. So you do that e...
I have and they're not too pleasant It gets so humid. To me it's humid here. People that I know that come from, uh, like Georgia or North Carolina, Yeah, they say, it's, Oh, it is. It's not as humid. As Houston, say, or Atlanta, but it, But more humid than Arizona Yeah. But I find it, and California for the most part. ...
It's in the usually, you know, for a good three, four weeks we have over a hundred degrees. But it's a drier, But it's a dry heat, yeah. Hundred when you have a hundred here, everybody's dying Uh-huh, yeah, I know. Well, I lived in Africa for a couple years in Cameroon Oh. and that's a tropical climate and it really fe...
So this is like the first thing that's written down or you know, first an alphabet is developed Oh. and then, uh, That's interesting. So, You don't think about that as a career, a normal career, uh, when you're thinking of things that people might be doing. Yeah. Yeah, well, it's based here, uh, the international headq...
but there's an awful lot of good weather, too, in between. Yeah I agree, I agree. I, I thought the fall was really nice. Yeah, and usually a lot of the spring months are really nice, too. After the last freeze Uh-huh. and, and when it begins to be in the sixties and seventies most of the time, uh, I like that. Particul...
so I guess we'll, Uh-huh. the only thing you have to watch out in this part of the country is during the change type seasons is the really severe storms that occasionally come through out here on the plains. Uh-huh. There's not much between us and the North Pole Yeah. And then when you get one of those tornado type sys...
Uh-huh. And, uh, uh, it's our first home, too. Uh-huh. Yeah. So what do you think of, of owning a home as opposed to, to renting somebody else's? Um, well before we built our home we were managing some apartments that we were living in, Uh-huh. and, um, that was quite an experience I, I much prefer having my own home a...
Is it small? It's not much bigger. Actually we had an apartment, two bedroom apartment that was about as big as this house is. So. Oh, really. Yeah, it's, uh, it's only like eleven hundred square feet. Oh, uh-huh. Do you, do you have children? Just one. Just one. Yeah. Oh. But, it, it, uh, all the rooms are small, I me...
yeah. Well, like, um, how does it compare to the ones in your neighborhood? Well, they're, it's pretty typical, I mean, it's a very, very middle class neighborhood.
