She likes the chicken and fish, Uh, yeah. and, like I said, we always ate beef and, uh, pork, you know, a lot, Oh, yeah. so I know, my husband did too His parents are Austrian and ...
My dad could eat, a, a meal with out any vegetables at all. Oh, my gosh. And, uh, Susan's, you know, they had, you know meatless meals, you know. Yeah, yeah. My dad wouldn't know what to do. Oh, gosh, so do you, Course, she grew up Catholic so you know, they, they sort of come with the, Oh, they did the, there's a cer...
but my husband always did it kind of grudgingly, he never, Uh-huh. There was dishes that he really enjoyed, eating. Uh-huh. there were several things that he liked but it never was really, something that he would have chosen. It's just that I cooked so he had to put up with it Right. So, but there was one thing that he...
it's hard to get a protein content up then Yeah, yeah. That's true Yeah, I like, I like them every now and then for a change, it's nice. Yeah, some of the stuff is good, but it just, it was a tremendous amount of cooking Because you do have to make sure you have the right combinations of different proteins to make sure...
He's set, oh okay. Yeah, yeah, I set him down. Okay. Do you like to bake at all, or do you, do you get into that's, that, Yeah, we used to do that, um, my mom, used to go crazy, every Sunday, until my dad like blew up, you know Yeah after he gained about eighty pounds after coming back from the Navy, she stopped doing ...
I know, that's the thing about baking. I used to, I, I don't mind baking at all and I, I can do a pretty good pie, we have this pie crust recipe in our family that my grandmother gave my mother and my mother taught me how to make it. Uh-huh. And, um, so I can make a pretty mean pie, but, um, I don't do it anymore becau...
but, Oh, uh, yeah. uh, it's made with, you just leave it out, Yeah. you know, and you let it spoil sort of. Yeah, uh-huh, I've heard of that, I've heard of it, but I've never done it. You know, yeah. That sounds pretty good. Yeah, it tasted pretty good, really. Yeah, oh yeah. But, uh, it's the sort of thing where you l...
and then you you make the bread but you pinch off a portion, or save a portion of it for the next time, or something. Yeah right, you take some of the batter out and give it to someone else and that's how they continue the thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, it sounds, it always sounded, I don't know how safe that was Yea...
well, I'll talk to you later. All right, well, yeah thanks. Where are you calling from by the way, Texas. Plano. Where? Yeah, Plano, in Texas. Plano, okay. Are you in Texas? No, Falls Church, Virginia. No kidding, gosh it sounds so close. Yeah, I know we've got a good connection, must be a, uh, T I connection, yeah.
Yeah, I thought for sure, I thought for sure you were in Dallas or something. Yeah, I, I talked to so many people from Texas that's where practically everybody I talked to is from. Yeah, yeah. I think that's why they call me because they want to get people outside the state, you know. Yes they're they're trying to get ...
but I grew up right here in Falls Church, right outside D C. Yeah, boy we'd like to get back over to the East Coast, I'll tell you. It's nice over there. Yeah, it's sort of funny, I have people that want to go to Dallas. Oh, really. Yeah, one of my, one of my friends here, he was just talking how he's thinking of leavi...
Yeah, yeah. We were saying we could sell our house here and buy one down there cash, you know. Yeah, you probably could, you probably could, Well Northern Virginia. Okay. Okay, well it's good talking to you. Nice talking to you too. Take care. Bye, bye, Bye. Well, I don't, I mean, I don't know what you think about the,...
they probably, need to change it somehow, uh, the whole system needs changing, we've just got too many people in there , and, uh, , are putting too many, uh, people in jail that probably don't need to be there I agree. and it's another form of sentencing. Uh-huh. But on that one thing, I, I still think it should be a ...
and I don't remember exactly how much he had but, uh, actually not selling it , there's a difference, couriering it is what, is supposedly a difference from selling then being a courier and, he was a courier. Right. And, uh, they, he's, he sat on that jury and they found him guilty, and they went through the sentencin...
and, um, after it was all over, uh, the they sit down with the judge and with the other two lawyers, to someone in the let me come over in just a second, okay, and sit down with the judge and with the other two lawyers and they were told that, uh, he would probably serve three, of the fifteen, and that he had three p...
Yeah, the judge might know or at least it, it wouldn't hurt to switch over there and see if it worked any better, if it didn't we can come back for something else or, That's true. That's very true. or, or what we've got, so. Yeah. Well, we definitely need a change in the system and, uh, Yeah, obviously what we are doin...
and either they're in there, forever or when they get out they're, you know, it's a matter of a few months Right. and they're going to be right back for the same thing so the system, We're just not willing to set a society not willing to spend the time or the money to do what it takes, so. That's very true. Yeah. Yeah...
Right. Yeah. And, we will continue funding you for the next two years, after two years we'll cut it down seven to seventy you know, seventy-five percent. Uh-huh. And after another year we'll cut it fifty percent, and in five years, it by then you should all should have a plan worked where you can make it on your own wi...
but we've got, you know, kids here in the United States that are dying everyday, too. You know, and being, abused and neglected Sure. Oh . and, you know, I don't know. I just have this problem with, uh, trying to heal the world when you're so sick yourself, you know, You bet . so. Right. Well, we seem to agree on the...
You too, bye-bye. Bye-bye. So I own a, a P C A T at my home. Uh-huh, I could never justify owning a personal computer at home, uh, I mean, that's quite an expense to look for, uh, well, who is this, what do you use yours at home for? Well, that's actually a good question. My wife works out of the home, our home. She ha...
And so I write programs to do little things I'm actually working on a data base at home just to keep track of things nothing special. And also I'm interested in writing some programs that will kind of like remind me of things like remind me that Wednesdays is trash day and the like. Uh, huh, well, excuse me, I, uh, uh,...
whatever there, your issue is then there really, Well, uh, space is a handicap with me, I live in a motor home. Oh, I see well. And I'm preparing for retirement. I see well, congratulations on that. And I'm not to far from it another year and a half. Yeah, well, actually one other thing I might ought to mention is that...
I beg your pardon. Yeah, they sure do. Yeah I actually was thinking about upgrading mine very recently and kind of look at the whole spectrum. You can actually buy a whole brand new computer with a not not a necessarily a slow one or inadequate one but a pretty good one for six hundred dollars. You're kidding. No. Incl...
Yeah, the prices had plummeted, you can buy the computer the guts just the guts with the power supply, the box and the mother board of a type of computer called an eighty, eighty-eight, for about two hundred dollars. Uh-huh. Huh. And then the keyboard is another fifty, the monitor with the card that drives is another ...
Uh-huh. So you just flip through there until you find a eighty, eighty-eight computer that that's called, it's the original P C. So it's, we call the T I, I'm sorry an I B M P C compatible. And you'll find all these things and you'll find the monitors forty dollars and the card that drives the monitor that goes in the ...
I ya, first of all I don't like a machine that's smarter than me. And secondly, I did learn this much about computers, they they are pretty stupid because they add one and one up and come up with ten. In binary. That's right There's great. Well, anyway that's one ever my favorite jokes. Oh, yeah One and one equals ten....
I did for years and then I was a scientist over in central research labs and just recently I've changed my job to actually do some of the marketing. Uh-huh. Uh, now I I type that one, but I don't use it anymore. Uh-huh, well I just recently started using one. In connection with my work. Uh-huh. Yes. Uh, I keep track o...
so naturally our equipment has to be in top condition and is constantly calibrated, Uh-huh. and they're dated. So I have to keep up with them, uh, and and it's very handy doing it on the computer. Yeah. I just run a printout every week and and it puts me right up-to-date what I'm, what I have to do, what I have to ship...
I guess we've kind of covered it. I think we did. Great, nice little conversation with you Jack. Yeah, Mike you take care now. Good day. Good luck to you. Thank you. Same to you. Uh, I guess I've had to return something but I'm can't decide, mostly it's been because I didn't like the color, Uh-huh. or, um, I'm not sure...
so, we'll talk about that some. Yeah, well, we could talk about that, and then we could talk a bit about, um, just quality of products in general, if they're better or worse like if they last longer or something like that. Right. Okay, I'm going to let you kind of lead the pack, because you sound like you're, let me ...
Oh, I just thought of something we have to return Good. There you go. All right. It, it'll come to us, okay? Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. Laurie, all right Right. All right, uh, tell me about your computer, Laurie, I think that sounds fascinating. Well, we bought a computer because my husband needed to use it to do some ...
and they felt they've gotten a good price. And we went in, we explained what we needed and yes we had to go across the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey to get, to meet these people. Uh-huh. And so we went there, we told them about the stuff and the guy said, uh, that the computer would fit our needs. And we these...
we'll buy it, and we put in our order. And a week later we went back and picked up the computer. And then we got it home and tried to put our own board in it and there's only one slot we could put it in. Oh, lovely. And at this point we only have one board so it wasn't so bad so we used it a bit, but we tried to figure...
They probably didn't know what they were talking about. Right. That's completely it. The salesman didn't know. Right. So, we went back in, and we struck an agreement with the people who said change the casing it comes in so that we could put in extra boards. Huh. Okay. So they did that. And we said are you sure this wi...
and you know, life's just a little bit complicated. Uh-huh. Uh-huh . And, uh, he goes and gets it, brings it home, first of all they're missing components of it like cables so you can't really test it out. And then second thing, we still can't put the boards in, because they have other things blocking where we need t...
So, well, actually some things are pretty good with that because I put it on a gold credit card and I just called the credit card company and explained to them the situation, and they said, well, you don't have to pay for it yet. Now that's an advantage, isn't it? Yes. It really is. I think, uh, uh, there's a lot not t...
That's right. No . But they'll just, you know, undo the credit that they did to them. Yeah, they will, That's right. They will, Yeah. they will put the kind of clout on them that you can't really do. Right. Yeah. And, We, Hal bought me, uh, uh, small, uh, well, uh, uh, little jam box kind of thing so I'd, my, I have m...
Uh-huh. Well, the first, uh, uh, the first time I turned it on, uh, I was recording, and the next thing I knew the tape was chewed up in the, thing. Oh, no. Okay, so after that then you couldn't get a you couldn't get a tape to play at the right speed in that side. Uh-huh. And then on the other side, when I, when I, u...
we weren't buying, on I B M P C Yeah. and I was wondering if you, No, I think this is a, I think this is maybe a name brand and I suspect that it's probably just a fluke, you know. I have the papers and everything and we're going to get, just take it back but, uh, Uh-huh. Do you buy it at some major store? Yeah, I thi...
So, I don't think, I don't think there will be too much problem but I, I guess I'm not sure whether I think things are not made as well. I think they deliberately sometimes, um, I think a lot of things are not made as well. Don't you? What, what, for instance, what are you, Um, oh, of course, it's hard to think of an e...
Um, I think that's right. The fact that, because I , they want people to replace it after, a couple of years. Right. The fact that they, that they have competition with the Japanese and whatnot sometimes, uh, dwells on a fact that, you know, uh, I've had, I've known people who have had Toyotas for years that have had ...
And it kind of has to start from the top and, and go or from the bottom maybe and go clear up. People, Well, I think part of the problem comes in sort of shoddy workmanship. The people just don't care about, what they're doing. No. Yeah. You know, the whole, nobody cares, no, nobody's, really paying, Yeah. Attitude i...
and also I think, well, I do research and so I'm used to sort of being underpaid for whatever work gets done. Uh-huh. But, and you get satisfaction out of it. That's right, And, But I think a lot of it, you know, I think things come both from the, uh, individual side and also from the company side I think they underes...
and so you need to really work hard at helping your kids to understand that there is value just in work for itself without any pay, you know. Little value just in whatever you do. Yeah. The, the, the that the value is in doing it well Doing a good job of it. and, Okay, Jay, where do you live in Texas? I live in Dallas,...
Yeah. Just moved here about, uh, oh, uh, one, about a month ago after twenty-one years, two miles to the east. Oh, is that right? Oh, how about that? So, it's a very different house from the typical Dallas, uh, house. It's a new home? It's about eight years old, About eight years. it's, uh, it's a duplex type thing. ...
And, uh, have a big sun room on the back of it. So it's got a lot of openness and light, also? No, Oh, it doesn't? it doesn't have Well, that's what my wife really wanted and so, uh, With openness and light? Yeah that's, I understand that, I would love that too Uh, our, our last house wasn't too bad, but it was just to...
So make one really, uh, contemporary and, and very modern and very open and very light. Uh-huh. Do you have children at home? No, I have three in college. Three? Oh, boy. They, they usually, get back for the, at least two of them for the summer, so, But, You still need space, plenty of space Still need a little bit of ...
It's four bedrooms and two baths and that, Yeah. We, we had, It has one wing built on that's a kitchen family room, and then the big room on the back. Uh, Yeah, we had four bedrooms, two and a half baths, uh, in the place we just left. Uh-huh. So down, now we're down to, two and two. Two and two, uh-huh. Uh-huh. So i...
and if you get in the, if, if you can find one in the right area you can really pick up a steal. I, I guess so. Uh, we, we really didn't go that route and didn't look. Uh, but, uh, the planning of them and the, the housing market probably still going to even go lower. There are many, many houses for sale just by the ...
So they stayed six months, and she got her job back, and he got a job down there. Oh. Because, Yeah, they're not moving very well. Huh-uh. For sure. Nope. And that's a good, uh, example of it. They live in Rowlett. Oh, yeah. I know where that is. I've been, we've been here for twenty-five years. Have you? I'm from Miss...
Uh-huh. So, What college are you teaching at? I'm at, uh, one of the uh, it's called Brookhaven College. It's one of the community colleges. Oh. And it's just about two miles to the west of where I'm living. Uh-huh. So it's very nice, very convenient. The only one I know is Richardson Yeah. Now Richland College is ou...
Right. And, uh, have a good life, the rest of it. Okay, thank you, same to you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, what are your suggestions in making a family reunion successful Have a big family, I guess, that's a start. Well I guess so. Have you had any in the well how old are you? Twenty-five, so, Okay so you you have been t...
every four years on one side of my family they plan on having, uh, like my grandparents and all their brothers and sisters and then all their kids and grandkids. Now how long in advance do they, uh, let them know? Well, we plan on it, it's like the third weekend in August, Uh-huh. so it's every four years and so, So th...
So all ages. Yeah and, uh, you know, there's some my age and then there are some a lot younger, an, about four generations, I guess. Well my husband has, uh, on one side has an extended family, Uh-huh. and they don't ever plan it as, like you do. Uh-huh I think if you can count on it every four years then people have i...
Yeah. And, uh, the few previous ones I've had, uh, I haven't known many of those people, but, uh, in the last few years it really has just been our immediate family and that's been very nice, with, uh, I have one sister, and three brothers Uh-huh. and they're only three out of five of us who have children. Oh. So, uh,...
they're a lot of fun, Yeah. but, uh, still, uh, they're not done on a regular basis and, uh, you kind of forget what happened, and who they were from the time before. Yeah, it's, it's fun getting together with immediate family. A lot of my cousins are real close and we always get together during holidays and weddings a...
it's a little north of Indianapolis, about an hour. Yeah, yeah, it's very pretty country in there I think, it's gorgeous. Uh-huh, so. Well I, uh, when is your next one, uh, scheduled now. Well it's like, the last one was my high school graduation the next one was when I graduated from college, so I guess about two more...
I mean you need another milestone, you know. Yeah, I guess that's, that's what, I mean I've been married now for about nine months so that was another milestone, I guess Yes, well I'm sure, and then all of your family probably has not met your husband. Um, yeah, he's from Indiana, Oh, is he? so they all met, yeah. And,...
he's trying to get in med school, so. Uh-huh, well, we don't either, but, uh, I have a friend who, uh, is working on this project. Oh, really. Yes, and, Are they getting all the data they need? Well, I don't know, uh, I, I have a hard time getting, uh, people on the telephone. Oh really. Uh-huh, getting through to anyb...
Oh, okay. And, uh, uh, we both look forward to going to our next reunions, I'm sure. Oh yeah. But it has been fun talking to you. Well you too. Thank you. And maybe I'll talk to you again. Okay, good. Okay, bye-bye. Bye-bye. All right. What, what changes do you think have taken place in the last generation? I guess the...
and, uh, my mom didn't work at all when I was growing up. She didn't start working until I was, um, well into high school. Uh-huh. So, I, I had the advantage of having a mom at home that nowadays kids, it's a luxury item for mothers to be home with their kids. Yeah, true. Well, mine taught kindergarten but she was alwa...
Uh-huh. and almost all the people that I clean for, believe it or not, are mothers that don't work Huh. Um, That's unusual they are, they're all, um, it's, and it's, I think it's kind of a new movement it's going back towards, you know, women have come into the work force in the last twenty, thirty years and now they'r...
Yeah, that is tough. Yeah, we're looking at that now, my wife's about six months along. Uh-huh. I think it's going to be a luxury item to be able to stay home with your kids. Uh-huh. You know, it's going to kind of kind of go along with the B M W in the driveway and, or in the garage or whatever. True. Um, and the quar...
but it's still, it's almost like a job, she just doesn't get paid for it. Huh. Well, I guess that's good that they, they've got something to keep them active. Yeah. When, when your wife has her baby, is she going to stay home or is she going to, go back to work? Yeah, we're, we're going to try and have her stay home,...
Uh-huh. where the, the attitudes were a lot different. Um, as far as, I think the kids back then seemed to be a lot more, um, there wasn't a lot of the drugs and alcohol and, um, a lot of the, the things that are going on in today's society, Uh-huh. I think morally, um, it seems like there was, people were a lot bette...
Yeah, I, I think that, um, in the future, um, the, the family unit as it, as it once was known, is, is going to be nonexistent What, how do you, what do you think? About? That as far as do you think there's going to be still a family unit or, or do you think that, um, the trend is going more towards single parenting? T...
kids don't, kids are bombarded with all kinds of junk and one of the reasons, I guess, is because there's so much more income in the family with both parents working. They get bombarded with junk and they don't have to do anything around the house. They never learned to be responsible when, Yeah. the bigger trend calle...
That's pretty sad. Yeah, it is, I guess unless, unless there's a, a major swing in the change of what's important to people, you know, probably keep going downhill. And I, I don't know we, we feel like that, that we can make it on one income it, it may be tough but we may have to give up on some, some things. I, I thin...
bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, uh, have you, did you, have you grown up in Dallas, Stephanie? Uh, no I've only been here for the last ten years, uh, Oh, where are you from? I grew up most of my childhood in Germany. In Germany. Uh, and, Well, we, we took a lot of vacations while we were there because everything was within dri...
That, that would be a, to me, a really nice vacation because I'm, I'm not in physical shape for something like that, but, uh, I, I sure would work on it if I had an opportunity like that. Yeah, that's neat, neat What kind of vacations do you like? Uh, well my husband and I are scuba divers. Oh. So, we both like to go...
Yeah. We were going to get a really good price. When, when our children were younger, we enjoyed, we lived up in, uh, New York, or New Jersey and, and used to like, uh, traveling into upstate New York and camping Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and we had a little collapsible sailboat and liked to sail and, that sort of thing, but we...
Yeah, we, After we moved away from Germany, we moved to New Hampshire. Uh-huh. And I lived there for seven years. Oh, I see. Uh, and I really enjoyed that because, you know, the mountains were real close, That's a really pretty area, too. Uh-huh. we like the, we like the white mountains and, Uh, unfortunately, I didn...
Uh, Not so much, huh? Not, not really so much. If, if, if there was some place that, that we went to where there was hiking involved, I, I would be you know, happy to go hiking, Uh-huh. but we, we never have really planned a vacation around, uh, places to go hiking. So your, your next, your plans are try to find somepl...
Yeah, it is. You have to try to figure out kinds of things that you can do that they will enjoy, too, and, Yeah. so, I think, Yeah, and diving is something that, especially for small children, uh, I think the, the minimum age for diving is, is probably, legal anyway, would be probably about sixteen. Yeah. Eleven or tw...
and, and the summer we have a, we have a, a reunion in, in Salt Lake area up by Park Cities. Where we're going to camp for a week with as many members of, of a rather large reunion group that, uh, as we can get together so, That, that sounds like a lot of fun. Our family had a reunion last year that was kind of like th...
Yeah. Uh, we have enough friends here and there, I would just love to just drive through the United States and stop and see people I know, and visit for a day and then go on and, you know. Uh-huh. My dad has been talking for years about, uh, getting a fifth wheel and just picking up, Uh-huh. he's retired Uh-huh. uh, he...
Yeah. uh, but he's been known to be gone for a month or two at a time and, you know, he'll say, this is my itinerary. I'm going here, here and here and I'll be back in about two months Yeah. There are a lot of neat, neat places to visit in America, that's for sure. We've, I haven't been much to the south, I haven't bee...
Uh-huh. I believe it was. Uh, had about three kids then I think, but that was a really fun, interesting trip. I we, we read Bruce book before we went, you know, and, so we were ready to look up the places we read about. Yeah, I I think right, right now while my husband and I don't have any kids we'll probably take as m...
that, that's a fun way to to, uh, cut costs and it's enjoyable, too. Very restful. I mean I find, Yeah, I, I do enjoy camping. Yeah, I find the outdoors very relaxing and, you know, kind of a change. As long as I have a shower nearby, I'm fine And electricity. Yeah Well, I'm with you. I need my creature comforts, too. ...
What kind of painting are you planning to do? Well I have wallpaper in both of my bathrooms right now which is really pretty disgusting. Uh-huh. And, um, it's a rent house and I decided it's too expensive to rewallpaper so I decided I'm going to paint. Uh-huh. And I've been buying some magazines and stuff and looking a...
I've seen that done, where there's uh, oh, I saw one that was kind on an ecru undercoat and then it had, a little bit darker sort of peachy color, Uh-huh. and in between there was a sort of a rust, uh, put on very sparingly. Ugh. And it gave the impression of very old weathered stucco. Yeah. Um, what I, what I'm trying...
Well, uh. Um, it's going to be a big experiment. Yeah, I was about to say, you ought to experiment on at least a small part of it before you just tackle the whole thing Yeah. Because you might find that it's beyond, uh, what you're willing to put into it. Although I think it could turn out really nice. Yeah, yeah. Yeah...
uh-huh. My husband would paint the walls and ceilings with the rollers and I got to do all of the masking tape and then all of the little fine, uh, trim work, where I'd use a small brush and, uh, try to keep the paint from dripping on the windows and things like that Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well we only have only one of our ba...
If it's really old, you don't know what it's put on with. It, it's hard to tell, it's, the patterns look like they're nineteen sixties style. Yeah. And I know the house, um, was built around the mid fifties. Uh-huh. So it may be the original wallpaper Could be, yeah. Um, if it's vinyl it should be easier to strip too. ...
Um, that's kind of an odd color for a bathroom. Oh it was awful, it was absolutely hideous and, and we had a dinner party before we started renovating it and a, a guest went in there and he said it's a good thing I went to the bathroom before dinner because if I had had something to drink and went in there I would thin...
Well it's not hard to do if you get everything prepared ahead of time. Because if you, uh, use drop cloths to cover everything and you use masking tape to trim out, uh, all the parts that you don't want to slop over onto, you don't have to be quite as precise about how you do it and it can be done a whole lot faster. A...
Yeah. It will come up a lot easier if you don't wait too long. And I've, I was told, I always used the nice wide masking tape, but I've heard from people who tried to get by and skimp on narrow masking tape that it was more trouble than it was worth. Because it, it rips as you pull it off for one thing Oh really, okay....
If you were, if you were closer I'd, I'd, I'd tell you you could come over and supervise Well if I were closer I might. Oh, well I hope your project turns out great and I, really think that it's exciting that you're going to try the sponge painting. I think that could give it a really a, Well, we'll see how it goes, I ...
and then I follow-up by reading the newspaper and news magazines about things that attract my attention. Well, I, I do about the same, I guess, but in a different fashion.
