How old are you?

[hashbrown]

That was me princess...
Way back at PS.

I almost adopted you as my grand daughter.


Ask Hashbrown about his under name... Peckerwood.

I was naughty back then...

Jim

That's what my Grandpa always called me. Had it under my name in the old place and Phideaux made sure and fix me up here!

Tommy was too much fun.

Those were great times.
Have you gotten taller or growed more hair ?

Jim

I have no memory of Tommy. Of course, I have forgotten much more than I remember now. I wonder why he isn't here with us?

 

[Weedygarden]

For those of us who didn't know the meaning, I had to look before I looked foolish or embarrassed someone. Isn't it a term that is used more in the south? I never heard it used in the Dakotas.

The whiskers are still functional, still 'salt & pepper' even. I think my brain overheats the follicles on top of my head though.

LQ Jones used the term in the Zorro movie.

Tommy did come here and sign up.
But , Tommy and his wife were having some serious health problems last I heard.

He just didn't have time for interwebs chatting.

Sad.

I was hoping that's what you meant and not "Princess" - heehee

It's like being called a hillbilly which is a compliment to me.

It's like being called a hillbilly which is a compliment to me.

Or me being called a 'redneck' (which to the dismay of many, is not derogatory).
It means one who works hard and can accomplish impossible tasks with little or nothing to work with.
Proud to be a redneck.

I am pushing the far end of the 37%, but the good new is a Am retiring before I leave it!:green man::lil guy:

 

[phideaux]

I remember growing up how red my grandpa , my dad, my uncle's and other farmer friends and neighbors neck was.
That's what happens when you work in the fields , in the sun all day.

I'm a redneck.

Outstanding!!!
Pull that plug by 62!
And I won't get on the soapbox

 

[Morgan101]

Don Johnson used the term peckerwood in the movie Django, also. The term of endearment around here would be Hoosier even though we are well West of Indiana. That is what we call rednecks. I don't much care what you call me. Just don't call me late for supper.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I shall be 63 in October.
Am happy to be alive.

I’m a brown skinned Puerto Rican redneck from Guilford NC. Just turned 60 a couple months back and still feeling pretty good. For my birthday I showed my 25 year old that I can still out lift him... yup
