Way off topic but y’all have turned this into one of the best threads.

My Mom died of Alzheimer's. That is a horrible disease.

Never tried this, but my father-in-law put campho phenique on a cut i got at the beach one time and I swore i'd never trust him again.

I was a product of the currently less popular ass-whoopin'. Lol.

If we had a penny, we’d buy one pack of Bazooka bubble gum with the comic paper inside. It was perforated and we split it between the two of us. We’d split a candy bar, but they were a nickel. Mr. Cola bottles would break against a tree. The old Coke bottles would bounce off. Turned in tons of bottles. Back then, a kid could buy packs of cigarettes for their parents. It was legal and the store clerk probably knew the parents. Man how times have changed.

Heck, no AC in the house, just the attic fan with windows open at night.

72 April 7th.

Remember merthiolate for the scrapes? It hurt worse than the scrape, lol.

My skateboard sucked also. But, it was all the more exciting when you took a rope, had a buddy tie it to the back of their bike & haul butt pulling you while you jumped your homemade piece of crap ramp made with half rotted plywood down the middle of your busy street. Oh, and with no helmet or knee/elbow pads. Just shorts, flip-flops & clean ears from the Q-tips. The rest of the alcohol was used after a few jumps & the butt-whoopin came when you finally went inside later that night looking like you’d been in a bear fight and it was found that you’d ruined a half salvageable piece of plywood your dad was saving for something and you’d left the water hose running wasting water. 😁

also, why would anyone read that report and think "i better get on the website and rub this in!" that mindset might be the reason some people feel the way they do about the hill.

[Hidden Content] 'Nearly a quarter of young Americans believe the Holocaust didn’t happen or has been exaggerated.' 'Survey shows stunning lack of knowledge among Americans aged 18 to 39, with some believing in conspiracy theories shared on social media.' On a side note, Neil Armstrong was an elastic toy with a nickname of "Stretch.' Not a real person that actually did anything.

Saw a meme I’m at the age where my mind firmly believes lm 29. My humor suggests I’m 12 And my body possibly died in the civil war.

I walked to school 10 miles uphill, both ways.

My wife and I still laugh about our grandmothers giving us a half a stick of gum.

O’Bannions was the store on Cleveland street in the north end where I grew up. The other convenience stores were Jone’s 7-11. I remember cigarettes @ 25 cents, gas @ 10 cents, candy bars @ 5 cents. Yes, I remember Tab. It came along later. Took one sip and that was it for me.

A little levity is good for the soul.

Lmao. Still remember that dude. You’re definitely from Texas. People still wonder why I laugh so much & jam out during ‘The Big Chill.’

I used to go down Gulfway Drive and pick up coke bottles, I remember getting a nickel for some. Me and a buddy would do that about once a month and make a few dollars. Then that crying Indian came on TV, and hurt our income because people slowed down on the littering.😃

Got em after I got back from the Navy. Was a late bloomer. Always told people “Uncle Sam taught me how to blow things up. I figured I may as well learn how to rebuild them.” LOL

I'm 59 1/2........ And in a few months I will be 59 3/4 and at some point I'm going to be 59 15/16ths

No matter your family’s economic, ethnic, religious background, we were all privileged to grow up in the lost era of humankind. Remember collecting glass coke bottles that you found in a ditch or out of somebody’s trash or just laying on the side of the road to turn in for some change to buy some Penny candy?

I felt that....lol

Neighbor had some tallows that were easy to climb. Climbed them all the time. Step across my street and you were on the Jr. High campus. Had an oak tree that was a leaner. You could almost run up it to the first limb. Campus was our playground….football, basketball, tennis. It wasn’t fenced off. Good times. Brings back old memories, which is all that life is….a collection of memories.

she was! Alzheimer's has taken it's toll on her, but it's my understanding that she still gives her caregivers about all they can handle!

Out of likes, definitely a good era to grow up. Certainly glad no one had a cell phone in my youth. 🙂

And the frickin President always came on at the worst time.

Is she hard-headed like a good Aries?…..lol

Wasn’t anything to do inside, only had 3 channels and Saturday morning cartoons was only thing to watch. Sandlot sports, “hunting” with the BB gun, good times.

My grandmother's birthday. She turned 87

66

Currently 48, will be 49 this summer.

That was MY spot. Another thing you had to gauge by the sun. Lmao

…..and Mercurochrome. Lol. Those were the days. You don’t see kids out playing anymore. Creating their own fun and just being kids. Now they’re glued to Ipads and Playstations. You don’t even see army men in stores anymore. If you had a collection of marbles, you were somebody. Gosh, I could go on all day. Those days are gone and sorely missed. I feel privileged.

Lol, hated seeing that bottle come out of the cabinet, seemed to be a daily thing.

Oh I get it, all the venom is welcomed to get spewed at BH here, that's all good, but if anyone dares to post anything positive about BH then you think its a problem and you call them out. Got it.

If the hose was lying in the sun, you better let it run for a second or two. I learned the hard way. My homemade skateboard sucked. Lol

The House has already passed a bill to limit these district judges to their own districts. The Senate has their own bill that will eventually pass. And the President will sign it. [Hidden Content]

61 last Saturday

Lmao. This is no exaggeration. I do the alcohol on q-tips thing to this day. Just did it this morning. It's funny you included that...

I bet you drank out of a water hose, put Vicks in your nose, and alcohol on Q-tips in your ears too. Good Lord Man! How are you still alive? (This is my ghost speaking. I rode my bicycle & homemade skateboard without a helmet and knee/elbow pads.)

I love the proximity to saltwater fishing access in Port Arthur. Past that, I can't imagine thinking, "You know, when I retire, I'm heading to Port Arthur...". Lol. Ain't happenin'.

I don't think people realize how scary it is having politics or an agenda in school. People are a product of their schooling and upbringing.

Do you believe the Holocaust actually happened? Or is it a lie?

I am pretty happy with what we have in Football. Next year Jacaleb will be the QB and he will be outstanding. After that the job probably will go to Haegyn and I think he is a man amount boys. Silsbee will be fine. The job here is to hire a basketball coach and there is one right down the road who has defeated the man from Westwood every time they have played. He also has a number of State Championships already earned. Folks Silsbee is not out of talent. There are at least a couple of ninth graders who can play. The JV program is solid and there are a couple of eighth graders who are as good as any I have seen. We will be all right.....

He is just a basketball coach looking to advance his career in basketball. English is not leaving Nederland just yet so the head basketball coach position is not open for Bryant to apply for. Bryant will not go to Nederland and bring his sons without being the head basketball coach.

Well it wasn't meant to be. We will be fine and i guess he will find a team that will pay for his kids.

Chase got his 1st MLB win last night

I totally agree with this message, cause I would travel almost two hours to do a game @4 finish that game then drive back almost an hour to do a 7 game, then drive home. I spent so many hours away from family, I would umpire 4-5 nights a week just cause I love baseball and umpiring, but if only the parents would suit up in umpiring uniform and become an umpire! Remember were human we all make mistakes!

Goslin is so cute when he’s mad 😂. Dude you’re so eat up with BH. If I teach you the secret handshake and let you hang out with us will that make you feel better? I won’t even tell anyone that you live in Baytown and voted for Kamala.

“Just messin’ with ya”? Bull. You said what you feel and what a LOT of folks on The Hill feel and say all the time, not just amongst themselves but what they say on social media and right to the faces of the poor folks down here. I’ll bet you just reread your prior post, saw how bad it sounds when you type it out like that for everyone to read so now you come back with “I didn’t really mean it, I was only foolin’, actually it’s Y’ALL who are the haters!” At least be honest and own it. You said what you said, feel the way you feel, so own it. Don’t talk big and then try to walk it back later. You think you’re so much better than everyone else? Well then at least be honest about it, but you can’t because of what you are, what BH is. Just a bunch of haters and bullies who get a kick out of picking on cripples just to make themselves feel bigger and better. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t envy y’all, I pity y’all.
