Maybe he drinks but he never drives a car either, you know, it's not the same with Johnny Carson. No, I think my, seriously my classification of, of invasion of privacy is trying to get personal information, and putting it falsely out or just bombarding me for the answers. Uh-huh. Without your, and without your permiss...
so I figure I can turn it off one way or the other, but I think that's the only bottom line thing that I dislike. Because it does, other than the U S Census, um, what was it. Oh the, the carpet place that called me three times, Uh-huh. that I felt was invasion because it was the same carpet place, and called me three t...
Uh-huh. that's, you know, that's the problem. Like the product I sell, uh, I sell mostly to older people which can't get it in a normal public situation. The only way we'd get to them is by telephone. Um. And, uh, most of them like it because the company I work for is nationwide, and, uh, reputable and they know that h...
Sometimes, yeah, some days it just rings off the wall. Yes, yes, yes. In other words you own your own home. No, no. I think that's where they hit most of us. Like I own my own home. Uh-huh. And you just know about what time, like some days I hate staying home because the phone rings all the time, but, uh, I don't know,...
and I no If I have to give them so much to answer the questions to get fifty rolls of film or something like that, they're taking something away from me and I don't like that. Right. Yeah even if, I guess it's for coupons, they, they have a survey they run and it, I guess it, one of them is supposed to be a smokers sur...
Seems like I just bought it. Oh, wow. It's an eighty-nine and I bought it, uh, in, uh, eighty-eight so, yeah. Well, I really, the last car we got was a, was a used car. I really don't prefer buying a new car. I like to let somebody else pay for that I know, I really will do that the next time, I buy it too. But, uh min...
And I've never been sorry, Oh, that's wonderful. however the need for that kind of car has changed now, Uh-huh. Oh, okay. and, uh, while it is still good, and it's quite serviceable, and I'll drive it until it no longer is reliable. Uh-huh. Huh. And probably then some I'll spend a lot of time praying over it before I g...
Is that how you, I have never, its reliability. Its Its reliability. And, uh, I, you know, I've read all the CONSUMER REPORTS and things, and they just run head and shoulders above the American made cars. If Ford was a head and the shoulders above it, I'd buy a Ford. Isn't that a shame. But I had, uh, had a Ford Escort...
Huh. And it was an older car, Huh. but, you know, Escort is supposed to have a great track record as far as sales. Huh. Uh-huh. But it's just, it just was not and you get stung a time or two, Sure. and you say, no thanks. No thanks. That's right. So, I just trusted the CONSUMER REPORTS and the auto, uh, reports Uh-huh,...
Wow. Uh, the Nissan came and, and we bought the Nissan for functional purposes not what the CONSUMER REPORTS said we should get. Uh-huh. But it served our needs. Uh, later on his reports, the reports that he studied showed that, uh, Nissan was head and shoulders above the rest in the in the class that we were looking f...
No. No, no. Nissan is Japanese. Oh, it is Japanese. Uh-huh, uh-huh, Okay, uh-huh. I didn't know. Yeah. And, uh, if I couldn't have my luxury Maxima then I'd buy me a fancy little red C R X sports car Uh-huh. Okay I mean, you know, every every one of us have two sides Yeah, I guess so that's true. Yeah. Yeah.
Now what about you, if you could have the car that you wanted what would you get If, if, if I had the car I wanted. and why? Gee. Uh-huh. Probably, um, uh, let's see, I like the looks of the Lincoln Town car Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah. See there, But I, I don't know the performance of it. That's a, Ford product, Uh-huh. Uh-h...
Yeah, yeah. Really was. Uh-huh. And, uh, I, I really have not seen, now a lot of the American cars actually are, are, parts are produced in foreign countries and assembled here or vice versa. Can I put you on hold for one minute? Of course. Thank you. Well, that was one minute. They hung up. Okay Uh, at any rate do you...
uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, wow. We like the stuff that glitters Yeah. Good. There's nothing wrong with that. Actually I think probably if I were going to get if I were going to be practical, which doesn't mean I would be, I would prefer white. Because, simply because it's more visible at night. Right, well, practical yes that'...
I don't care about the interior just as long as it's not black or red. Uh-huh, uh-huh. But if I had the little red C R X , I guess the interior would have to be black leather and I'd have to live with that. And if I got the C R X it would have to have a real good sound system in it because I'd want that too. Oh. I'd ju...
no. I generally would uh, prefer to listen to, uh, well, I listen to K C B I a lot but I will listen to the news and the, and the traffic and those things at work. Uh-huh, uh-huh. But if I'm going to be traveling in that car for any period of time, I want some real good classical music. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I love classical...
Yeah. W R R and the Oasis are the two that I listen to, more than anything else. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And I do like them. And I'd like to have a compact disc player in the car. That would be, something that I would really like. Those are nice, aren't they? Yes, those are nice. Those compact discs, really are good for cars...
Uh-huh. And, and I love having guests to dinner. I probably do that about once a month. And, uh, I usually prepare something, depending upon the guests, you know, it, it, I like to prepare chicken, that seems to please everybody, pasta or a casserole. Uh-huh. How about you? Yeah, those are things I like the most. I lik...
and, uh, basically, uh, I found a recipe to make it in the microwave and you sprinkled, uh, you swished around a little melted butter and do, uh, oh I do not know, microwaved them for about nine minutes. No, no, four and a half to five minutes and you had to add sesame seeds and bread crumbs on top, very simple, but ve...
Oh, yeah, uh-huh. Do you have any particular places you like going? Oh, there's a restaurant called String Bean on Spring Valley and Central. Uh-huh. I like that, it's just, it's just home cooking. Yes. I have been there. Uh-huh. And, uh, it's kind of, kind of like Black Eye Pea, but I do not think it's a chain. Right,...
Yeah, I, I do not feel like they are very healthy, and I always, feel like the home cooking places, are, are the healthiest meals. Yeah. You know, I tend to have chicken fried steak when I go, go to them. Right, and I, and I got, uh, chicken marinara the last two times. Oh, how was it? It was, uh, it was great. Um. Bec...
but and the thing about experimenting with cooking or anything else, is that some of the experiments fail. Yeah, that's true. Uh, the last time we had some, uh, friends over for dinner, I tried a dessert that sounded wonderful in the recipe and it was just a total bust. I was, sorry I did not have ice cream to fall bac...
Uh, and, uh, then he tried to made grapefruit citron one time. Uh-huh. It's, uh, supposed to be candy. Yeah. And, uh, it, it did not turn out very well, it was, you know. It like made concentrated all the acid of the grapefruit into, uh, into a kind of a candy stick, Uh-huh. so, uh. Huh, see I am not, that's interestin...
Uh, yeah. Yeah, just about. Yeah. And I, I also don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I can live without, live without dessert for the most part. Uh-huh. Use about half the sugar, or make everything diet. Yeah. Uh, do you cook for yourself or do you cook for others? Mostly, I just cook for myself. Yeah. Well, when I was...
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And, I mean, I never put anything other than a little butter on it, if I had, or if I had a little cheddar cheese, sometimes I would grate that up. Yeah, I always put cheese on them. And, uh, it's amazingly satisfying. Uh-huh. Yeah, but, you know, there's hardly any, I guess there's hardly any protein, ...
or, Yeah, yeah but, you know, I never really enjoyed cooking for myself, so I ate very simply. Uh-huh. And I was, that's why, I think that's one reason I like having people over, because I could try things. I mean, I must be a frustrated chemist or something like that. Right. Cause cooking is a little bit like, like be...
And, uh, I had this wonderful recipe and you were supposed to make a, a toffee like substance for a pie by, uh, boiling evaporated milk three hours, and it does turn to toffee inside the can. Oh, yeah And, uh, the only problem was, when I opened the can, it just flew all over the place. It was on the ceiling, on the wa...
just that one time. Huh. Yeah. And, uh, he, he was a gourmet cook, he was kind of pushy too. Acted like, he came from San Francisco and he had a very sophisticated taste. I, I really wanted to impress the heck out of him and, and well, it was a memorable evening anyway. Right. Uh, as far as, I, I do enjoy cooking so, I...
So, what are your thoughts on dining out? Well, I, I really choose restaurants more for the quality of food than anything else. Not for the price? Well, a little bit for the price, Okay. but, uh, I think that as far as quality of food goes the some of the most expensive places I've been had the the, really the, the wor...
Yeah. Oh. I'm serious. Yeah. Um, a lot of, uh, one place that we went just recently uh, was to Atchafalaya. Uh-huh. No, that's not right. That's not right. That's not right. Okay. someone in the What's the name of that restaurant? in the background Where at? . someone in the background The Hari Krishna. in the backgrou...
And where was that at, near your, Um, Kalachandji's. It's, uh, it's a Hari Krishna run restaurant. Where, is it in Dallas? Yes. Is it in the phone book? Uh, I think so. It should be. Do you know how to spell it? Uh, it starts with a K. Okay. So K A L A, I think, C H A N D. Kalli , K A L L I? Okay. That should get you c...
uh-huh. But it's, uh, it's just fabulous food. What about fast foods? Do you have a preference if you were going to, eat a fast food? Well, we like Arby's. As far as, fast food goes. You do, like Arby's? See I don't like Arby's. Oh, really? Why? No, because they use everything they can and make this into pressed whatev...
What they use is roast beef. Well, that's not what I heard, from one of, somebody that was supposed to know what they were talking about. That's what, Oh, my goodness. Uh-huh. I'm surprised. My dad worked for Arby's for several years. Really? Yeah. Unless somebody is trying to blackball them. Well, that's happened befo...
Uh-huh. Health food, uh, restaurants that, Like, like, name one Well well, like, um, well, I can't really think of any off the top of my head right now because there's so few and far between. I'm not sure what you're talking about. But they ought, there are restaurants that cater to the people that are very health cons...
uh-huh. uh, I don't know how expensive they are. It sounds like that it would probably, Well, it was pretty reasonable. I, it was around ten dollars for lunch. Okay, which is kind of high for lunch I guess. For one person? Yes. Oh Yes, uh-huh. A bit Yeah. Uh, but, um, you were served by maitre d's and, and, uh, um, men...
Maybe, maybe that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that, then maybe. Uh-huh. And now the Red Lobster I found is very nice at lunchtime. Yeah, I like the, the seafood that they, when they had it, you know, the broiled, Because they're, Well, they have lunch specials that you can't, you can't beat that price, uh, if you we...
Oh, it was, That's one of my husband's pet peeves. He doesn't understand why somebody would go to a seafood place and eat either chicken or steak, you know. Well, I've never had catfish either in a restaurant because I'm from the north and that was a no no. Oh, really? And I haven't gotten over that from the north. Oh,...
Well, yeah. So I am, and the, the best brand of chicken to buy is the, uh, Pilgrim Pride because they don't use all these hormones to remote , uh, unnatural growth in their products. Uh-huh. Yeah. So I mean, we have to be on the lookout if we want to stay healthy. That's true. So I'm, I, you know, I, Oh, on one hand I ...
And then they wouldn't think. They were floating around so they shot holes in them to sink them. Oh, dear. And this is before I was born. Wow. So, I mean we're taking thirty years ago, this happened, Sure. Yeah. and, and who's, you know, the tuna is radioactive to a certain extent. That's right. Everything we eat. Ever...
So I'm either going to be, I'm either going to starve to death or I'm going to get over it and just go ahead and eat as healthily as I possibly can, you know. Well, Becky, you know, even if you lived off your own land, that you would have to put caution signs, Do you use credit cards a good bit? I do, and I wish I didn...
Yeah. Well, actually, I, I have a whole wallet full of credit cards. Yeah. I don't use them very often. Um, oh, I may use, I try to use at least one gasoline credit card a week, and try to use a different one, so that, you know, I have, keep those active. Yeah. I have a half a dozen department store credit cards, and I...
and you do not have any other options Uh-huh. so I charged all three of those cards up, and right now I am paying and praying. I know how that goes But, uh, and that's exactly what we've, I mean I have to say I have been thankful for them, because there were times when it was just like that when we had to have the mone...
Most of my charges were, uh, medications. Oh, I see. Didn't have cash for the medications or it was, uh, the doctor would accept MasterCard or VISA. Oh. And, uh, a lot of times you can get by using those for, uh, uh, different labs will use those charge accounts for, What, Do you find now, though, that even some doctor...
Right. I'm reimbursed on insurance anyway, and I can handle, you know, paying for it and waiting two or three weeks. Right. Getting into a credit card fiasco is easy. Oh, it is It is easy, and it's very difficult to get out. I just cringe every month when I see those interest charges. I know. I say wow, I, I ought to g...
Right. And but it, but it is easy to get into a credit card problem, and I, I think about young people that think, you know, there's kind of that feeling of hey, it's so neat, I have my first credit card Uh-huh. and, and they just don't understand that you still have to be able to make the payments. Oh, yeah, and it's ...
Right. Uh, as long as I don't have a major disaster where I have to use it again, I can, I can do that. Right. Meantime, though, I'm not building any reserves. No, and that's frightening to me. Anything that I could be put aside into savings is going for interest on those cards. That's right. That's frightening, too. U...
Uh-huh. and they should pay through next month, and, and we're both just looking at each other every night going man, that will pay off like both of our MasterCards, you know. Oh, right, right. And, you know, just in one lump, because that's the only way you can do it, is to have a big chunk of money Uh-huh, uh-huh. or...
Sure, yeah. I agree. because you're living on the other guy's money for a while. That's right But I can promise you that those credit card companies are going to ride high on my money I know and, And it just irks me. I say my gosh, I had to work three hours just to pay the interest on this, and I've got three cards. I'...
but even the payment on that doesn't equal the payment on one of those credit cards. It's incredible. Uh-huh. Boy, I wish I could say that my house and, well, my car is paid for now. It was wrecked three weeks ago, but, but you see again the credit cards came in handy. Uh-huh. I had to have the money to pay rental car,...
I said for crying out loud, if I had the money to you know, if I could do some investing, you'd have to invest at better than twenty percent earnings in order to pay for the payments on the credit card. It's, Sure. That's right. That doesn't make a bit of sense to me. I thought God dang, where is his pencil? That's rig...
There is a bit of security in having the credit cards and knowing that in times of crisis, they are there to use Uh-huh. but you have to have a very good sense of saving, and or common sense not, not to get yourself in trouble. Uh-huh. Uh-huh You also have to have that willingness to commit to that because you're commi...
There was too many people, too many other votes. For example, you know, he'd say, Well, look, you and I see different sides of the fence. If I go vote you'll cancel my vote. I said, I sure will. And, He said, So, I just won't vote. I said, Then mine counts, because you could cancel mine too. Then does, Yeah, I think, I...
I did, when I lived steadily in one community, I always, I voted. Uh-huh. But this past time I didn't. Well, actually I voted it for the presidential election, but then I didn't vote uh, I guess, in the two year for, uh, some legislators and things Uh-huh. and, Well characteristically, in some, in the local elections t...
it's probably true. Well, of course, of course listening to government, the instructors, you'll find out that everything matters, but then you could go crazy worrying about everything. Well, you know, they also say that most people vote their local politics, that, that local is far, much more important than, uh, nation...
and that's completely unnecessary. In another particular case they were trying to put in a, um, senior citizen's home in, in an area very near our neighborhood, Uh-huh. but if you just cross that major street, the character of the neighborhood changes, and it's less savory. Uh-huh. Okay. And that, I was just very, I fe...
Uh-huh, yeah, easier targets, and so we, we did get a petition together and we very strongly resisted it, and it was placed in a actually, it was placed clear, closer to my neighborhood Uh-huh. but it was on the, right side of the street. Right side, of the tracks, yeah. And, uh, it, it, I think that they're, they're...
Well. Did that, did that seem to, because that that got national attention, national attention, I guess, having a woman governor running against a man and whatever. Well. No, I don't think it had to do to with woman running against man. I think it had to do with dirt running against dirtier. Uh-huh. And that's it Yeah....
and the people in Virginia are complaining, see Robb is married to Lynda Bird Johnson Uh-huh. and the people in Virginia are complaining that he is, he's using Texas politics in Virginia Uh-huh. and they're really complaining big time, because they said that We don't have that type of trashy politics up here like they ...
You want to do the one who can do the most good. Do the most good, yeah, that's true. And, uh, I guess that's why, I know that, um, I'm previously from Pennsylvania Uh-huh. and Dick Thornburg who's now the attorney general is going to run for senator because, uh, John Heinz, a senator from Pennsylvania, died in an airp...
Uh-huh. Yeah. isn't that too bad. We really could use a little positive motivation Uh-huh. hey, we think this guy can really make some changes and we're going to support him. Yeah. That was true in a lot of cases in, in a couple of the older sixties campaigns. Uh-huh. Uh. What, in Texas, was that when, you, No, I'm tal...
Right. Now, that's not to say what has transpired or what really was, I'm saying that's how it was perceived. Uh-huh. that's, right, that's perception, that's true. And, uh, Because the, those were big political, that was a big, um, turn out election. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Uh-huh. And, and it was people going to vote f...
and they voted their convictions. Uh-huh. Well, I think that also happened with Ronald Reagan. Absolutely. He was he was landslided in You're right. and people really saw that was, There we go. Uh, so, uh, what do you consider the most important benefit besides salary? Boy, I, I don't know. That's a, that's a, a tough ...
Well, uh, I, right now I'm in sort of a weird situation. I'm a graduate student that, uh Oh, okay. I don't have that many benefits per se Yes, okay, Uh, sort of get, But, but, on the other hand, one of these days you'll be out looking for a, Yeah, yeah. My wife has a real job and I can see from her angle. Uh, uh, I thi...
Now I'm covered by my wife's anyway, but I still pay them a hundred dollars a semester for, uh, mandatory. Right, okay. So that's sort of annoying that I'm paying for something I'm not getting in that case. I'd rather that, that went to something else. And, and, yeah, and the benefits you're getting for that hundred do...
I, it, uh, the, the, that, that's a, a negative about, uh, where, where I am in that, uh, well, I came out of, uh, I worked five years civil service and there it's, uh, if I remember right, you well, they, they accumulate it as hours per week or something like that and, or hours per pay period or something, but, anyway...
Well, that, that, yeah, that's, that's the thing is how, how flexible they are for comp time kinds of kinds of things Yeah. and, uh, uh, that's the, the, the, uh, yeah. That's a, why it hasn't made all that much difference is because the, with the civil service, that you could take, you could take your vacation in incr...
and now they're in the process of developing a list of, of, uh, designated doctors, uh, so that just routine visits, uh, they will compensate much better for, if you go to their designated doctors. Yeah. Which, which, uh, my assumption is that, that will not include my doctor since, uh, he keeps real busy without havin...
Least off, who decides. Yeah, uh, and, but it, but it's the, the same, the effect is the same as the, you, you, uh, get left out of the loop more. I, I, I know that their, uh, idea is that, uh, if, if you have to pay a bigger share, you'll, you'll be more careful about spending the, spending the money and, and helping ...
but, uh, I think it works better than many other systems, like having a judge decide. Uh-huh. I can't think of many alternatives that could be more fair than having twelve people decide, although it's difficult because they all have to be unanimous. Now that, do you, do you agree, that they should all be unanimous? I d...
I mean if one is determined that it's, you know, that he feels that he's, you know, going against the other eleven, they all stay until everyone agrees. So I don't know if it would leave anyone getting off more unless someone just gets tired of fighting, you know, just gives in. Yeah. Well, if it's, no, but they, they,...
and they can sway them that way, too. That's, that's just it. I don't understand. You're supposed to, you know, go in if you have, you know, like if you've never heard of the people before or anything, but I don't understand with racialism and the way religion is and everything else how you can get people that are tota...
I know. You know, so it, it's, I, I think, I think in, in the end, the judge has the presiding, you know, uh, vote. I think he can be, you know, I, I don't know if it's the way it is in real life, but I've seen it on T V where the juries go one way and the judge totally finds it obnoxious and he completely, you know, g...
I don't know. I, I think it's just, I don't, I mean, I think it's as fair as it can possibly get, but I just think it's really you know, I mean, some cases go on for years, you know. That's true, and I've never been on jury duty, but they have to keep going and going and going. And lose their, not lose their jobs, but ...
The unanimous vote is questionable, though. And, and how, how many cases get juries might want to be reviewed, too. Uh-huh. Yeah. Because, uh, I don't know if you should really have a jury for a small infraction. But I'm not sure who gets them Uh-huh. I don't know anything I know. I don't know that much about it either...
So, how long do we need to talk? Do you know? Oh, I think we can hang up anytime Okay. Uh, in, uh, what do I do now? Do you know? Anything, or just wait for someone else. No, I don't what else to say, so. Okay, well it was nice talking with you. It was nice talking to you, too. Bye. Thanks. Bye-bye. Well, how do you fe...
Well, basically I think it would be a good idea myself. I, uh, I think if somebody's not on drugs, they have no reason, you know, to be afraid of it. Uh-huh. Uh, I do think that there has to be some controls, uh, like, I don't think one test positive should, uh, be, uh, the end of it, you know. Right. I, I think they s...
There's so many jobs that, uh, really have other people's lives in their hands or even their own life and, you know, and it's, uh Uh-huh. uh, how can you do anything about a problem besides if you don't know about it? Right. You know, and I just, um, I, I think there definitely needs to be some control to it. Right . ...
Yeah. Uh, I certainly wouldn't want people's lives ruined uh, wrongly. Right, and, you know, I've the, the, the company that I work for, uh, has just recently, well, you know, within the last couple of years, instituted for all new hired employees, they submit to a urine test. Uh-huh And, they, they say that there's b...
Uh, to me, it's, to me it's not an invasion or privacy. I think it's people have a right to know if, if, uh, their, their life maybe's in jeopardy or, uh, Yeah. Or, the quality of their product. Their work, the work they're doing for their company. Uh, those things are all affected. If not immediately, it certainly doe...
and it's destroying a lot of people's lives and then and one of the few that they don't have a cure for Yeah, and it's, you know, it's, it's destroying people's lives and I, I think that person, plus anybody in danger should, should know about it and be aware of it. Yeah. I don't know. It's, it's kind of hard to I ...
Oh, that's probably why, my brother did live in Grapevine, Texas. That's near Dallas. Right. Uh-huh. We're probably about two, two and a half hours south of him. Uh-huh, uh-huh. So. It's pretty hot down there probably. Oh my! Yeah It's, actually, we got about two inches of rain in about three hours, yesterday. Oh, did ...
Uh-huh It's, uh, everything's really getting dry. It's, uh, Yeah It's been about three weeks since we've had any. Yeah. It's kind of at a dangerous level here. People hauling water, and, uh it's getting real bad. Um. Wow. So. How about that? So. Well, I hope you do get some rain up there. Um So do I I Uh, I can't think...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh, I can understand I know if somebody is using drugs and doesn't think there's anything wrong with them, I can see them objecting. You know? there's a lot of people that think that there's nothing wrong with . One of the things I found interesting, it, it's funny that you mentioned that, T I is pretty...
the different cultures and that too, uh Yeah. I mean, uh, uh, from a quality standpoint, that's not, I mean, just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it doesn't affect you the same way. No, no. I'm sure it would have to affect you the same way. I, I can't think that would make any difference whether it was legal or...
and, uh some of the countries are very much against drugs Right. and you use them, you pay for it Usually with you life in some places. Yeah, a lot of them. Yeah. Where, where is it they lose the, if they steal they lose a thumb or a finger? That's right. Yeah, from the Middle East. Is that where it is? Yeah. Iraq, Ir...
So, it's pretty strict over there Yeah. So I guess, you know, we, we have so many freedoms over here we sometimes forget about how great out country really is. Well, people tend to take the first amendment out of context. Which, which means you know, I could do anything I want to Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and you can't stop m...
Yeah. Uh, what, what contacts do you have with the public school Okay, well, I have a boy and he just went into middle school, and I have a girl, and she's in, uh, grade school, and then I have a little boy who goes to, uh, they have something just before kindergarten, and it's called Early Childhood, and I have a youn...
Uh-huh. and it was just packed. I mean, it was a, a fire hazard if we had any kind of assembly there with parents. Yeah. And it was just a real problem. Uh, so we had to do a bond issue and, and, um, vote to take money and either have students bussed to different schools if that's what the prefer to do, or to, uh, work...
