When I saw these shoes two things came to my mind - Great Gatsby and this song

Brain, that was a stroll down memory lane. At least they're clean shaven. Just not a fan of facial hair
In this instance Ruby you are quite fortunate, they are an affront to humanity. It was actually me who took the photo Melki - I was standing behind him debating if I should give him a slap Fortunately Grant the Plant is now history for as long as I can make it

Plenty of beards where I live, not just hipsters either. Donald J Trump would do his pieces

For those who asked what a fruit machine is ('bout 200 posts ago) it's a slot machine/ one armed bandit. They used have little pictures of fruit in the olden days

Big hugs Marty

Feel better soon HaF

Hi everyone! I'm back home on my bed...back to work later this afternoon just for an hour or so. I'm really not clear headed enough to do any serious work.
Those insects look horrible.
Marty...I agree that he is jerking you around and messing with your head.
ok...time for a nap.

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead walk into a bar.










You think at least one of them would have ducked.

3 old ladies are sitting on a park bench. Out of nowhere a flasher comes up the them and stands in front of them with his trench coat wide open.
The first old lady had a stroke.
The second old lady had a stroke.

The third would have but she couldn't reach that far



later...

Fruit machines.

Ah.

I worked as a supervisor and slot key person in a big Nevada casino back in the day when you had to feed them with coins. The old-style 1950s slot machines exactly like this one. I don't like the new ones with electronic "credits." It takes so much of the fun out of slots.




...and I really want to buy this machine. Except, who plays dime machines? Exactly. It's on eBay.

Good one Brain.

Marty...my 2 cents on the Don. Don't let him tell you when and if you are going to be friends. Why is it his decision anyway? You've gone through a rough few days and you don't want to have to go through this emotional hell again....and believe me, if you resume this friendship you will. It's not worth the emotional upheaval. You deserve to be treated so much better.

I'm grouchy today. Trying to be the go between is exhausting and ridiculous and puts me in a really bad mood. I need to snap out of it quick before I get stuck in it.

I didn't work in a casino in the 50s. The 1950s slot machine was still in service in the mid 80s when I did work there, though. There were probably 600-700 of them in the club. They were Old Reliable. The new electronic ones broke down much more regularly.

I'm old. Not that old.

I knew too, several pages back he commented about the commute traffic. Girls never notice things like that

I knew you weren't that old bim! Heck...you're not even old. The closer to forty I get the younger everyone seems!

And girls notice everything, Sao! We just keep it all locked in the vault for future use! Lol
