I just got my catalog this morning and was looking through it.
Oh, with the Santa Claus on the cover.
Uh-huh.
Yes,
I've already ordered from that one,
but we will probably be going up at Thanksgiving this year,
so.
Oh, do you live, where do you,
what state are you in?
Texas.
Oh, you're in Texas.
Yes,
I'm in the Dallas ... |
so I guess they get people from all over.
Yes.
Yeah,
driving for Thanksgiving, that's going to be quite a drive for,
Well it was when we left last year.
We left on the eighteenth, right before that big snow storm hit Colorado
Uh-huh.
and we pulled in just as it hit.
Wow.
So, how do you go?
Do you go up through the Rato... |
and then we go straight up through Trinidad and straight up I Twenty-five from there.
Okay.
Okay,
we, uh, went a different way when we went last Christmas because of bad weather and because we were pulling a little U Haul trailer,
because we had to take our dog in the car, there was no room for luggage.
So, we went all... |
Yeah.
Uh, anyway, I know here in, here in Plano some of the things that we do are, um, Kroger
and some of the other stores, too, have said, If you bring your bags back to, to the store to recycle, then they'll pay you a certain amount of money,
and that's one thing that started in the community.
They actually pay you m... |
I don't know, uh, if this would be helpful.
It said on the, the computer, what do I think would be helpful.
And I don't know if it would be helpful or not,
but I know on Monday, the, the garbage men pick up like just, um, any limbs or any extra trash that you might have,
Right.
And that might be an extra day to put out... |
but that goes out with the trash,
and it really could be recycled.
Yeah,
about six months ago I started
Did you?
yeah,
and, uh so what I do is, uh,
Tell me.
it's not bad,
you just have to have a place to keep everything,
but, uh, it, you'll be amazed if you ever start doing it.
Just put your paper in the same place eve... |
Yeah.
I don't, I don't scrub them or anything,
I just tear them off
Take them off,
yeah.
throw the lids and everything out,
but, uh, put all the glass in one place, and plastics, like milk jugs, uh, orange juice jugs, things like that.
Soda,
both liter sodas
Yes
can you do that.
those also.
Okay.
Um, and then, of cours... |
But, uh, you'd be amazed how quickly it all stacks up.
There's a lot that we throw out.
I, I know with our family that we could really be helpful if we could find a way to just, um, get it into different categories like that,
and I, I don't know what it would take to, to get my children to start working on it.
Uh-huh.
... |
and if it's got the little recycle symbol and inside it it's got a number, like bags from Drug Emporium have a ...
Hello.
Hello.
Hello,
Hello,
Hi.
Boy
it took forever to find somebody.
Oh, well I'm glad you found me.
Good,
well I'm, my name's Gail,
and I guess we have to, talk about credit cards.
Yes.
My name is Caroly... |
Okay,
well, I'm not,
this is kind of an interesting subject to come up for me, because credit cards are my downfall.
I just find it so easy to, to charge something when I don't have the money to pay for it,
and I'm really trying to get out of that habit.
So. I think they're kind of dangerous.
I think they are, too.
And... |
Seems just like our society is so, um, pushes so hard for, you can have it, you know, and then no interest, no payments for a year, and stuff like this,
they're really trying to get you into that situation, because they know they've really got you then,
so.
all I know is some of my credit cards,
like, um, we have a Sea... |
Uh-huh.
We haven't done it lately.
We probably need to do it again.
Well, we did, you know,
one time, we wanted to buy a truck, a used truck,
and so we went down to the bank,
and they said, Sure we'll give you a personal loan.
It was only a thousand dollars that we needed for the truck.
Uh-huh.
And they said, sure that... |
well, I guess that means these credit cards are closed,
and we didn't, you know,
about six months later we realized we could use them,
and so we charged them all up again.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
So then we were not only paying those bills regular like we were before, but also adding the lower payment for all of them,
So we were... |
Yeah,
yeah,
And, uh, if you could stick to that, you know, we'd get rid of a lot of indigestion and everything else.
Yeah.
That's true.
Oh, I just picked up my daughter
and she was eating a cupcake and now her crumbs all over.
Oh, dear.
Yeah.
What a mess you are.
Oh, so I don't know, if I, if I, I just feel kind of.
My... |
Yeah,
it's just, it's so easy nowadays, you know,
and it's, uh, especially when people are working just to come home and pop something into the microwave
and it be ready in just a few minutes
, yes,
and that's what we all are looking for, isn't it,
something that we can just cook in a hurry after we get off work.
Yeah.... |
and I try not to make so much that it lasts more than that week
Yeah
but, uh, I usually, I usually like to make spaghetti or soup or chili or, you know, something like that or sometimes a roast,
Right.
but,
Right.
What's your favorite thing to cook if you're having a dinner party?
Um, I have a great recipe for sour cre... |
and, uh, it
you have to cook very little to go with it, just some rice and some salad
and that's about it, you know.
Uh-huh.
Well, what do you put in it?
Uh, you make, you just take your boneless chicken breasts
and then you take and make a, a dressing out of, uh, Russian dressing, one bottle of that and a package of L... |
that sounds good.
and it's so simple, because I can pop it in when I come in the door, you know, and then, uh, go about my business,
and by the time I've got everything else ready, the chicken's chicken's done.
Is done,
right.
So that's a real easy thing for me.
Yeah,
that sounds good, too.
Uh-huh.
I've got a, um, a gr... |
Really.
and, um, you know, every month they've got all different kinds of recipes,
but, I got one in there about a year or so ago on cheese cake,
and it's just a regular cheese cake,
and then you can put raspberry, uh, topping on it
Uh-huh.
but inside the cheese cake, uh, recipe you put, um, lemon peel and orange peel
... |
I like a baked cheese cake, you know,
I don't,
I have had a recipe that someone has given me that it's kind of like you just mix cream cheese and stuff and refrigerate it, you know
Right.
Yeah.
but that's not the same as a, a New York style cheese cake.
No
it's not.
And, uh, the recipes that I've used,
everybody will s... |
Are you into serving wines with your dinner party?
Oh, sometimes,
but I mean, I'm not a wine connoisseur by any means.
Me, either.
I wish I knew more about it.
I've been to, you know, some wine tastings up in Napa Valley
Uh-huh.
but, um, you know, and I learned a little bit about them then,
but you know what would be f... |
Uh-huh.
and then you get to eat everything afterwards,
and then they also go into the wines, you know to serve with, you know, different types of of meals and that kind of thing,
Well, how neat.
Uh-huh.
and it sounds like it's a lot of fun.
We have some friends who've done that,
and they've really enjoyed it.
Um, well,... |
Uh-huh.
Um, what, what kind of experience did you have?
Well, I, uh,
one girl went in, in state and has graduated,
and then, uh, that was, uh, you know, that was her choice pretty much where she wanted to go
Uh-huh.
and I have, uh, one, out of, two out of state, both in Missouri,
and, um, I teach, uh, in a college,
and... |
let's see, my son got a full total scholarships
Uh-huh.
and so there's, uh, there's plenty of scholarships out there,
and so people should be advised to look for those,
and, um,
Did, did you play a, a strong role in helping them pick schools
or did you just sort of say listen to your guidance counselors
Uh.
and,
Well, ... |
they'd all been, uh pretty efficient as far as studies
Yeah.
and, uh, so I didn't have that much to do,
they just, uh they just knew they wanted to go to college,
Yeah.
and I, you know, helped them get there as far as traveling with them to look at different places.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We did do that,
and I would suggest a per... |
In the long run it's very, uh, reasonable if the person,
Yeah.
my daughter has been in, in Missouri for a second year,
now she's coming home at the end of the semester
Uh-huh.
so, uh, you know, she's already twenty-one.
She started late.
So that's, you know, strictly up to her,
and, uh, she'll finish down here, uh, uh,... |
so, uh.
Yeah,
well, back, back to this visiting thing,
I mean, I found that my kids had no conception what college was really like and, and that the process of going around to a few schools with them really helped them understand
Right.
Yeah.
and being able to go with them to at least some of them gave me a chance to e... |
Pardon?
What school is that?
It's Southwest Missouri State University
Uh-huh.
and, uh, it was twenty-five hundred when I went there forty years ago,
and, uh, my son's in a school about seven thousand,
and that's, that's not bad
Uh-huh.
I teach in a school about eight thousand,
and that's, that's even a little large
Yes... |
Uh-huh.
probably fine just to compare.
Helps to at least set up range of things to look at.
Right.
If they, you know, uh, they need to,
Okay,
who do you like?
Okay,
What kind do I like?
I like just about any kind except country and western.
Yeah,
that's the same with me, same with me.
It's, it's, course country
and wes... |
that's, yeah, that's the other guy I was thinking of was Garth Brooks.
Yeah,
in fact I think both of them have performed here.
And Kenny Rogers, he's kind of country western verge, you know on the verge of country western.
Right.
Of course, Garth Brooks lives about, uh, you know,
his, his home town is about, uh, fiftee... |
Uh-huh,
uh-huh.
I, I can't say he's real crazy about elevator music, as he calls it.
No,
no,
I, I don't, I don't, actually, we don't listen to any elevator music at my house.
But I've got teenagers,
so.
Well, my teenagers are all gone.
I can listen to any music I want to
Yeah,
that's good,
I, actually, when I'm home al... |
Right.
and I, I find that the classical music is very good for the kids too, it doesn't disturb them and yet it's, it's, it stimulates them,
Right.
Relax,
and and, uh,
Yeah.
What do you teach, what grade?
Well, it's ninth, nine through twelve
Good for you.
and,
A certain subject?
Well, it's, uh, business technology.
Go... |
it's just a real basic class,
but we're learning a lot,
and we have a home computer,
so it's, it's very interesting.
Uh, yeah,
I'd learn it too.
Uh, back to, I guess we'd better get back to music, though.
Yeah,
the subject of music
I, uh,
do you play any instruments?
I play, I play piano,
I took lessons for thirteen ye... |
I don't want to work full time,
so I just sub at the school,
and that's kind of my volunteer thing,
so that, it, it's really neat,
and my older daughter plays the saxophone,
my next son plays the drums,
and my third son just started baritone this year,
and my little girl will start French horn next year,
so.
Oh, well, ... |
sounds like you've got a houseful.
I do, I do, I love it,
but we have a, a marvelous band instructor,
and, and he's just, he's wonderful.
We have, uh, couple of hundred kids in the band,
our junior high band is just wonderful.
Oh, that's a,
He, lot,
and their concert band,
and then he has a jazz band that my older daug... |
and I love music.
I cannot carry a tune in a basket.
I know what I like,
but I
Uh-huh.
you know, and I love to listen to it, love to sing, and I, my kids, when I was little and, they were little
and I was rocking them, singing to them.
Uh-huh.
Oh, I guess, uh, this is a, a topic near and dear to my heart, since I am a,... |
I was going to,
there's a place, if you ever make it to Dallas they have the best prime rib.
Uh-huh.
It's called Lawry's, like Lawry's seasoning salt
Uh-huh.
and it is absolutely wonderful.
Really.
And, uh, we were there a few months ago,
and it, I mean, it's kind of pricey,
well, from New York it probably doesn't matt... |
Yeah,
well, I think the cheapest there probably starts at eighteen,
and it includes, you know, salad and rolls and, oh, some other stuff,
but it is absolutely wonderful.
Right.
It's the best I have ever had.
Uh, I was going to this place up the street from me is the best I've ever had,
so, I'll have to go there when I ... |
I'm not into the, the, don't do the, the raw, raw fish like that,
but I do like, uh, like a seafood bar, like a raw, raw bar like oysters and things like that, uh
Uh-huh.
that they, uh,
I go on,
I'm an officer in the Air Force and travel quite a bit on business
Oh, okay.
so I, uh, find myself down in Melbourne, Florida... |
seafood seems to be a a little bit more expensive than, than other types of food.
That's true.
But it sure is good,
and it's supposed to be good for you.
Yeah,
well, uh, it's really strange that, that, that seafood is so expensive, because when you, in reality, uh, uh, I, say that, uh, the oceans have the greatest reso... |
and those are really hot and the hotter the better,
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we, uh, we like spicy food down here, especially, uh, the hot sauce, Picante sauce, or salsa whatever you all call it
Right.
Sure.
and, uh, we, we sure go through a lot of that
Yeah.
But I like it hot,
but I don't like it real hot because then my nos... |
You talk about spicy,
that'll, that'll literally blow your head off,
it's so hot.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, and I can handle just about any kind of food without, uh, um,
well, but that, that stuff is, goes one notch beyond, uh, my tolerances,
Uh-huh
So. Although I guess on this topic are to talk about the, uh, service in a rest... |
Do you work for T I?
No, uh,
Oh.
I'm in the Washington area.
I work for N I S T .
Oh, okay.
Oh, all right.
Well, see we have the testing already here.
We've had it for, oh, about five years.
Uh-huh.
It used to just be for new employees.
And now it's for all employees.
And now,
They, uh, randomly select employee number... |
and what they ended up doing is, uh, kind of like doing a little bit of an undercover agent to watch what was happening,
and we had people using on the premises and actually selling and dealing, you know, on the premises.
Well, okay,
that's, that's a very different issue.
Well, yeah,
it was, you know, combination of, o... |
Well ,
Well, according to what they do at T I, if you take a prescription drug it has to be in your name.
It, you know, it can't be in your spouse's name
so they will look, I mean, the testing will look for, I guess, any kind of drugs,
and you have to tell them what they are taking a prescription for.
So they ask you t... |
They would be looking for the, yeah, controlled things, barbiturates amphetamines.
So what they are asking you to tell them is all the prescription drugs you are taking which are controlled substances.
Right,
right.
You pretty much, you know, put down what you remember even if it was just Contact or something like that... |
And he had taken some kind of, um, oh, you know, uh,
just, he had some kind of flu or something.
He got a real bad migraine
and he took his mother's,
All right.
What is your favorite show?
Well, I was just trying to think.
When they called, I didn't have as much time to prepare for this as I did some of the others.
Um,... |
Uh, we do let them watch NINE ONE ONE,
Uh-huh.
and we think that's kind of informative to teach them, how to handle things in situations.
It really is.
Uh-huh.
What do you watch?
I watch just about anything, but not a lot of, T V.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I mean I'll watch, you know, maybe a little while when I first get hom... |
I haven't gotten, into many of those.
Now, I do, like,
my husband is really crazy about EVENING SHADE that comes on, on Monday evening.
I have heard that's real good.
And I, uh,
That's, Burt Reynolds, isn't it?
Uh-huh.
Yeah,
I've heard that.
And I've got to where every Monday I rush around so I could sit and watch ... |
DESIGNING WOMEN is on that night, too.
Yeah,
and the one with the, the sergeant that married the woman with the kids, Sergeant McGillis .
Huh, I don't even know.
Sergeant, uh, MAJOR DAD.
Oh, okay.
Now I, we've never even seen that.
Yeah,
that comes on right after, uh, the EVENING SHADE and then MURPHY BROWN, and DES... |
Oh, excuse me just a minute to someone in the
The money is right there on the thing and the coupon.
Well, you can't hardly watch KNOTS LANDING with the little kids around though.
Oh, I know.
That's the thing.
And so, we,
Except they, probably are in bed, by nine.
Uh-huh.
Well, they are.
In fact, on weeknights they ... |
Have you watched that?
No,
but I saw that advertised today
and it sounds like it's not fluff.
It sounds like it's good.
It's really, you know, it's really pretty good.
Uh-huh.
I mean, it's kind of like, you know, um, soap opera I guess.
Yeah,
that's what they said it was kind of, a little more drama to it.
But it's a,... |
but I haven't,
I did.
I liked it.
Did you?
Well, they said that one and I'LL FLY AWAY are really quality, you know
and,
Now I haven't seen I'LL FLY AWAY yet.
I haven't seen it either.
I think what I need to do is kind of read to see what is on these days because by the time we get the kids in bed at eight o'clock and t... |
and then we've gotten to where we rent videos for weekend nights.
Uh-huh.
So, it's like, we are kind of, tuned out of our T V.
Yeah.
That's us.
If we are home on the weekend, we always watch videos,
so.
Yeah,
well, we do too.
But there are some good shows on.
I, I really probably should watch more of them than I do.... |
Uh-huh.
Well, my, my sister and them and her husband do on weekends.
They don't have children yet,
and they just turn it on when they walk in,
they turn it off when they leave.
Uh-huh,
uh-huh.
So they are used to that too.
I could be around here for hours by myself and never have it on.
Yeah,
I understand.
Same here.
B... |
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's, it's nice talking to you.
I guess we've kind of exhausted this one,
but it's nice talking with you.
Well, it's nice talking with you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Uh, I guess it's, uh,
watching the the T V today there had a lot of stuff on, on, uh, crime.
In our state right now, uh, recently they've... |
Wisconsin, uh, and Milwaukee area, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah,
that was really on the national news a lot.
We heard a lot about that in Texas.
Yeah.
So that's,
well, I, I live right on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin
so I kind of get both, both news
and, I know, in Minnesota, uh, they had, uh, the one that just, uh, go... |
Yeah,
uh, that's hard to say for sure.
I, uh, sometimes I wonder if these people aren't don't it just for the publicity
and, They, they get their names in the, in the paper
You wonder about that sometimes.
and they become big celebrities.
But,
Uh-huh.
That's kind of scary.
I, I wish there was some way that we could cha... |
Do you think that's a deterrent?
Yeah,
well, it's, it's, it's not going to prevent any people from doing it
but, the person that's caught, he'll never do it again if he gets the death penalty.
Yeah.
And that's,
and there are a lot of repeaters. Uh,
Uh-huh.
I guess that's another thing that to me is a, a real problem,
a... |
than they, maybe they just tend to learn from these people
and they, and when they get back out, they just go into worse crimes.
I think that could be true too.
Maybe they should try and separate them a little bit more. Uh,
I think the whole parole thing, you know, if somebody is convicted of second-degree murder or so... |
You know, I,
there's a lot more working mothers, a lot more kids in day care centers all that kind of thing.
Morality is being taught more by the schools a lot of times than in the home anymore.
And,
Uh-huh.
Well, a lot of the European countries, uh, they tend to sensor,
well, they probably won't sensor so much the sex... |
And, uh, hanging in the back of my mind is always the knowledge that I tend to drive cars for about ten years and a hundred fifty to two hundred thousand miles.
Uh-huh.
So I'm, I'm real picky.
if you are going to keep something that long, you know, you better get something that you wanted to begin with and that you are... |
Uh, and I guess I like to take care of it, uh,
so I don't have to buy one too often.
That's true.
Uh, do you have more than, than one vehicle in your fleet?
Uh, do you have a family fleet
or,
Yeah,
I, I, I got an old, uh, seventy-six, uh, Grand Fury that, uh, doesn't want to die on me
so I, I just keep running the thin... |
and that's the, the family travel vehicle.
You know, not only does it do all the, the, uh, carpooling around during the week,
but it's also the vacation vehicle that we all drive in.
I think that what I'm getting ready to get next is probably a Suburban unless they drastically change the, the vehicle a lot.
Uh, I'm jus... |
Um, it's, um.
Does, does he, does it have a happy ending,
or.
Yeah,
really good ending
Uh-huh.
um, uh, it was the, it's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
I generally don't get into movies that much,
but I saw that one,
and then before that one, I saw, um, oh, NAKED GUN TWO AND A HALF.
Oh, that was funny,... |
So, now these are for two very different movies.
One, one, uh, absolutely slapstick comedy and one clearly, you know, serious subject.
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah,
I, I guess I have similarly broad tastes.
Um, my most recent, um, movie that I, that I liked a lot, not my most recent movie, was HENRY THE FIFTH.
I only rented it, yo... |
and I also like just some strange movies.
Do you have any.
Well, the, the one that comes immediately to mind, I, um, is the THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, HER LOVER.
Um, but there are also these various, um, David Lynch movies.
Uh-huh.
Um, I got, I got hooked on TWIN PEAKS.
That made me go out and watch every David Lyn... |
Uh-huh.
They're, they're just strange.
Are they, I mean, is it, like mystery, or suspense
Well, uh. I think suspense is the right word.
or,
Uh, and, but, but, a little bit strange and esoteric
and, uh, in the case of TWIN PEAK a little, there's some elements of the supernatural in it, too.
Oh really.
That was the telev... |
I do, I do like movies a lot.
Right.
See, I don't do that,
I don't go to movies that often,
but, just recently I've been to a couple
Do, do you rent them,
or.
Um, no,
we, I just go to like the dollar movie theater around here generally,
Yes.
but, I don't know,
I just, I usually fall asleep
or I get bored pretty easily
... |
Right,
that's exactly right.
Well, well it was good talking to you.
Yeah,
it's good to talk to you, too.
Take care.
Uh-huh.
Okay,
bye.
Bye-bye.
Okay,
did they tell you our topic?
Uh, no,
somebody else answered the phone and put my number in.
Okay,
it's, uh,
Uh, what is the topic?
The topic is cars.
What kind of car wil... |
Okay.
Uh, my next car to buy probably would be a Cadillac.
Okay.
I've had, uh,
well, I'm on my third one.
And I'm not real sure that I'd be in the market for a car for quite a while.
Yeah,
I'm the same way.
I was, uh, I had two Cadillacs.
I went to my first Lincoln this last time.
I travel
and, uh, my grandfather worke... |
but I've always been a G M man.
I'm in the auto parts business myself.
Oh, are you?
And, uh, the last Cadillac I bought was an Allante.
Uh-huh.
And I just love it to death.
I'm not sure I'd ever get rid of it.
Well, I'm a, I'm a traveling salesman.
I travel on the road
so I like a little heavier car
but,
I used to do t... |
They seem to put, They seem to be put together a little bit better.
I think so, too.
And, you know, the buttons on the controls and things like that are a little easier to get to than Ford products
and I think that's one of the things that makes me shy away from, uh, imports is they put so much, you know, gadgetry on t... |
and, uh, I think at about sixty thousand miles I finally had it lined up.
Did you.
And I had them do all four wheels.
And the only thing I miss about a Cadillac is,
a Fleetwood Brougham was my last car
and I traded it in, traded it in on my Lincoln
and they're just not as large as before.
I do miss that.
That's true,
y... |
Yeah,
now, I have the Town Car
and it's, it's a deep trunk, but not as broad as the, uh, the Cadillac.
Well, the Town Car, I noticed, uh,
or with the, with the Continental, uh, I was, rented one, one time uh, we could, uh, put golf clubs in them.
Uh-huh.
Oh, good.
You know, straight across.
I mean,
They went all the wa... |
and I need to, you know,
that's about the same size as a golf club.
Uh-huh.
They need to, samples need to stretch out and gun cases and things like that
and,
I don't know if you've ever looked at a Continental.
Nope.
Uh, it's not as peppy as a, as a Town Car
Right.
because it's a V Six,
but it, uh,
I I drove it from he... |
but, my main thing is space,
so if a Continental,
I might consider it the next time,
a Continental has more trunk space.
You might take a look at them.
They, they had a, a lot more trunk space.
As a matter of fact, they had more trunk space than my, uh, Sedan De Ville had.
You always have leather interiors on your Cadi... |
Uh, so my favorite team is about the Rangers.
Is it?
I'd have to agree with that.
They are my favorite team, too.
Yeah.
A little disappointing the last few years.
I'm telling you.
You think they'll sign Ruben?
You know I really don't.
No?
I just don't think, you know, with that guy from Pittsburgh getting all that mone... |
Right.
We just can't seem to, you know,
I think we've been in this spot,
I think we finished second once or maybe even twice.
I don't know,
I I'm, I haven't been to a baseball game in a couple of years.
Yeah.
It's just, it's just too disappointing.
I just watch them fall every year.
Right.
I was a Pete Incaviglia fan
a... |
Right.
Right,
yeah.
So, and that's the name of the game, too.
You got to make money. You know, pay these players so much money,
Right.
now, it's just it's frightening.
Right.
You and I should be so lucky to, you know, to go out and swing a bat and get two thousand dollars every time you swing the bat or something like ... |
but, I realize the difference,
but, I just don't understand,
Yeah,
it's sure aggravating when you go out and bust your butt working, you know, your day job and you can work your day job the rest of your life and not bring home as much money as they bring home in one game.
Oh, I know.
I tell you.
It's real aggravating,
... |
Just real aggravating to
because I've lived here, you know, since, well, I was born and raised here,
so I've been a Ranger fan since about seventy-seven,
so it's a lot of losers
Oh, I know.
It's about to get, you know as bad as the Cubs or whoever, you know.
I've been one,
Yeah,
I've been, I've lived here since seventy... |
Right,
I think this town would go crazy if they ever got a, even a playoff team.
Oh, I do, too.
I mean, It would be packed.
And they got that new stadium they are building.
So, at least, at least that will be exciting when we get that,
It will.
but,
Well, where do you think they are heading this year?
Uh, it's hard to ... |
Right.
and they give him all kinds of money
and then he just goes right down the tubes.
And Valentine and Greave, they're about to get, you know, they're about to get old.
But I like this Sandy Johnson.
Hello.
Yes,
I forgot we had to hit one
Our time will be up.
Well, I hit one and nothing happened.
What's going on?
We... |
we're supposed to talk about lawn and garden.
Yes,
I'm, I'm supposed to find out what you do for your lawn and garden.
What do I do?
Uh-huh.
Well, I, uh, I cut it occasionally.
Good.
Uh-huh,
you're ahead of me.
Is, uh, is that good?
Okay.
That's better.
And I edge it occasionally.
Oh, that's really good.
Yeah,
see, am ... |
well, I call my lawn man, Eric, whatever his name is, I can't remember. Who's going to come and build me a fence, too.
Uh-huh.
Oh, he is going to build you a fence.
Well, he's giving me an estimate.
Uh-huh.
And for ten dollars a week, I don't see any reason for me to be doing it.
What, for a fence?
Oh, well, I thought,... |
Yeah,
but you know, you ought to get him to pull the weeds.
Well, he won't pull weeds.
He says he'll spray them,
but he won't pull them.
Oh.
Uh, he won't cut them is what he won't do. Because he said with the rocks that it's too dangerous for him to take the, the trimmer over the rocks
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
and he's ri... |
No.
There are two out front
I thought I'd grab one of these days,
but I haven't bothered as I walk on by.
Yeah.
I started to pull the weeds in the rocks out front
Uh-huh.
and all of a sudden I came cross this big clump of weeds
and there was dog dirt in it
Oh, oh, goody.
and I threw the gloves in the trash bag that was... |
I haven't gone back over there.
It really made me mad.
Oh, God.
So anyway but,
But, uh, how are your, your flowers, your little things you planted?
Did they die or what?
Oh, yeah,
now they died.
Oh, they're all,
so they, oh,
are they going to come back in the spring?
I don't know.
Oh.
I don't know,
and then I got some ... |
Oh.
So, I don't think any of it comes back
but I don't know,
Yeah.
maybe these,
sometimes things do that aren't even supposed to.
I don't know, uh,
So,
Those flowers, remember those little ones you gave me?
Yeah.
Yeah,
well, they're, I know they were still blooming up until about a, a few weeks ago.
Really?
Yeah.
Well,... |
and sometimes, they're not supposed to come back,
but lots of times they do.
Uh-huh.
So,
Yeah
We'll see.
They're letting us have a lot of time on this aren't they?
Yeah,
I mean isn't it supposed to be five minutes?
But that's because we didn't hit one for a long time.
We didn't disconnect, did we
I hope not
Neither one... |
Uh-huh.
where was the person last night was from far away.
You're kidding?
Really?
And we get each other down the street.
This is so funny.
Well, the, uh,
I, I talked to someone woman from Oklahoma City and some woman from Dallas
and that was it.
Yeah,
I've had Dallas, Arlington.
I've had, uh, one Plano and then a lady... |
but I'm thinking Colorado,
Yeah.
but I'm not sure
I'd know the place, anyway.
Uh-huh.
So,
I don't know,
But mostly they're from the area.
Yeah.
It,
Well, there isn't really much to talk about as far as lawn and garden goes.
Not for me.
Not for me either.
You know, not not for me because all I have is rocks and weeds.
W... |
What do I do with it?
I know,
we're not typical Texans.
No.
What's going on,
are they going to tell us to stop or what
I don't know,
I hope so.
Come on,
come on.
Isn't it five minutes?
I don't know.
I, I mean, I'm all talked out about gardens.
I know.
Well, we can talk about something else.
It's just a suggested topic.... |
We could talk, Let's talk about the baby.
Let's talk about the baby.
Do you want to tell me about your budgeting plan?
Yeah,
our budgeting plan includes me getting a job
We're, we're at the point now,
I I quit working about six months ago to start this house
Uh-huh.
and I'm out of cash
and I'm not out of project yet.
O... |
Oh.
Either savings or investment, one of the two,
but we don't ever put it in a high risk.
It's just always going to be there.
Well, that's pretty good.
And as far as the rest of it's concerned, we don't have any kind of, uh, what I would call extravagant expenses, you know,
we, uh, we pretty much live on about eight, ... |
But it's easy to find a contractor for a couple of hundred bucks who'll sign it and let you do it
Yeah.
, where I live, that is.
And where I live, it, it's pretty scary, because Texas is one of those strange states where if you have a contractor sign on your note like that and you screw up, you don't get it finished,
U... |
but as far as, uh, you know you're pretty much bullet proof in this state.
Well, that's kind of handy.
Yeah.
I just finished James Michener's TEXAS book.
Uh-huh.
Pretty interesting.
Uh-huh.
Texas has quite the history.
Well, you know, we're, we're not ones to budget much, you know
We just going to spend it all.
That's ... |
We're fortunate that way, that I make enough to do what we want to do.
Yeah,
yeah,
we're pretty, pretty fortunate as far as the, uh, the budgeting is concerned, because, you know, we don't have any long term debt.
You know, uh, we paid cash for car.
Well, we bought the car on time, one of them,
but we, you know, we sin... |
I'm into computers, too.
I I'm a E D P auditor.
Right.
Oh.
And.
You into mainframes?
and P C s.
oh really?
Yeah.
I'm just brushing up on, well, C plus plus.
Are you really?
Uh-huh.
And,
I just got that a few days ago.
Three oh?
Oh, gees,
don't get me to lying.
I bought it at a fire sale.
Oh.
This guy's place burned dow... |
