This has been around about three years now. Hopefully this is the last time we have to see it.

You're right. It's an interesting document but, it can only be interesting for awhile. It seems like it shows up about once a month. But I figure people who "discover" it think they've found something they should share and they get pretty excited to do it. Oh well, a little patience goes a long way.

that was super helpful thanks. <-----sarcasm


i really appreciate this being posted. ive never seen it before and i think it's neat.
that's why i come to this site....to learn and see stuff i havent seen before. and i think you're wrong. tell me anywhere that i could have gotten those kind of prices in the past 3 years. it's gotta be older than that.

Around the summer of 1973 the Metro 500 station on Central Ave on the South side of Blaine Minnesota had gas at 21.9 cents a gallon and 4 young ladies in "shorty" shorts and tight t-shirts would pump your gas, check your oil and wash your windshield. It was almost worth letting your car run in the driveway 24/7.

Jack, I feel the same about a lot of old photographs. A lot of them are poor quality and keep getting posted as someone new finds them again and again.
Sometimes over half the postings on one of the other forums are old photos.
Current tour pictures and other current T pictures are great.

Thus a constant reminder of the dangers presented when first cousins marry.

It has little to do with "how much it costs". Rather, how long do I have to work at a job to be able to afford that which I want to purchase and own.

Have I got your permission to use this line in Minnesota. Around here a lot of the guys go to family reunions to meet girls. We don't have family trees. We have family wreaths. The branches are so intertwined the squirrels get dizzy, pass out and lose their nut's.
