LOL!   Funny, how even though it was taken well over 50 years ago, I can recall that moment...wishing the photographer would hurry up, etc..

I met Michael Medved also around 2005, at our Western WA Republican Picnic. Love his show.

Great pics Machiavelli!
I wonder when the lies will stop and truth begin, even as grim as the truth may be. And then I remember that for 70 years, the reign of terror in Russia called itself "the people's government." We have so far to fall, yet we are falling fast and Hell yawns to receive us.

Alice suggested I should post it. Note - this is not my picture, I found it while doing some picture research, and it floored me a bit. I had no idea it even existed.

I hadn't known or heard of "Throwback Thursday".   Started seeing Facebook "friends" post olde time pics and now understand why.  LOL!

Don't and won't post any pics on Facebook....I'm strictly a lurker.  Don't even have a completed profile with a picture.

TBR is my "facebook".....and love sharing time with the best "friends" anybody could want.

Thank you Lando.   And thank you all!    :beer:

Going through this thread for old times' sake.

Lost friends...enemies made...it's a damned shame!

You know...

By happenstance or whatever... a great group of people.

One question?

Where are they all now?       :whistle:

I'm speaking about the tone on this thread.   That and the friendships lost.

That's exactly the mindset I had when I revived it.   @Machiavelli

Was hoping that some of these #nevertrumpers would tone down their personal insults and insults per association of candidate...once they can put a REAL face (real person) on the avatar to which, they're speaking.     :beer:

LOL.  Did you have a bloody nose? 

Yes she was. This was during the global warming climate change scare of 1958 or 59 in Northern Il.   Couldn't get to the Piggly Wiggly to shop.   She went out and caught dinner.
