Millard Fillmore... wasn't there a theater by that name close by. I saw "Little Feet" at that place, was it "The Fillmore"? I might be mistaken.

I lived in Buffalo twice, separated by a few years. I serviced CT's/Mri's all over the area. Strong Memorial in Rochester, St Joseph's in Batavia, Buffalo VA, Childrens. Our Lady of Comfort? Even down in Silver Lake and Jamestown, half dozen mobile units scattered.

I was looking in a old keepsake box the other night and found this... I lived in Tonawanda and saw lots of shows here... great place for a show. There was an incredible steak house near there, Jannics?.

Little Feat. I am impressed. Good band. Lowell George was a really good singer that died way too young.

True story, I was with a buddy once when he got a call from his wife about their car.

She actually said "I think there is a light flashing by the motor" 😂

I guess I should leave out the part where this woman is actually related to me... 🤣

Been there, done that. The radiator hoses will put it out when they melt.
 
@Terri9630 I was stopping at a gas station outside Bakersfield. There was a car ahead of me that also stopped. When I got out smoke was roiling from underneath that car. I grabbed my fire extinguisher and ran over just as the guy popped the hood, flames shot upwards.

I pulled the pin and put out the fire. Then the guy starts screaming at me about all the "white stuff" on his engine. He was angry and literally chasing me around the pumps when the cops got there. Within a minute he was a back seat passenger in cuffs. He had turned his anger with me on the cops... This guy was batting 1000, dummy!

The cops and the firemen thanked me, said the pumps may have gone up in flames. Who knows? What I still don't get is that guy's reaction to my keeping his car from burning to the axles. He was just nuts!

My wife was driving down the highway on her way to work. 8 months pregnant at the time. Chevy Blazer (appropriately named, it turned out). She said the temperature gauge was showing hot. Then she started to see/smell a little smoke coming into the passenger compartment. Decided to pull over (smart move!) As she stopped she reported a sound like "Fffwwwooommmpppfff!" Hmm. Best get out of the car. Grabbed her cellphone, which at that time was one of those original handhelds - the Motorola "Brick Phone". Moments after stopping she saw fire starting to peek out around the front tire. A van had pulled off the exit ramp right behind her, and stopped when it appeared she might need some help. Of all things, it happened to be a fire extinguisher salesman with a van full of product. I think he was in Heaven after he saw what was happening. He was knowledgeable enough not to flip open the hood and give even more oxygen to the fire. He opened it enough to where the secondary safety latch caught it. That gave him enough room to sneak in his fire extinguisher hose and spray things down. He couldn't get it completely out, and pretty quickly the fire department arrived (thank you Motorola Brick Phone!) The fire broke through into the passenger compartment before they finally got it all out.

After the fire department had gotten the car out, they asked my wife what it used to be. Chevy Blazer. They wrote it down, and then left. A nice policeman eventually gave my wife a ride to her work and I picked her up later.

This was on Sunday, and my wife had to call a tow company to get the burned wreckage off the highway exit ramp. Recently we had been having problems with our Chevy dealership - bad repairs, charging for unnecessary work, slimy mechanic crap like that. So my wife told the tow truck driver to take it to our Chevy dealership and drop it right in front of their front door, so they could move it around to the repair department on Monday (like a smoldering hunk of metal is repairable!) And that wonderful tow truck driver did exactly that! Around here, car dealerships are closed on Sundays, and that's when all the customers go looking if they don't want to be immediately accosted by a salesman. Our Blazer was a proud addition to their storefront for a large part of Sunday, for all those shoppers to admire, until the dealer got it moved (it was gone by Monday morning, but I don't know exactly when they found and moved it).

That vehicle had been a mess since day one. Lots of problems. We had nicknamed it "The Antichrist" (name stolen from the vehicle in the old movie "The God's Must Be Crazy").

16 is wrong!! YA'LL'S is the plural of ya'll!! I remember the first time I heard that, I was 20 years old and just moved to Texas, thought I was going to have to move again!! Got worse when I heard the word "FLOWERDY" to describe something with flowers on it!! It's REALLY bad when I catch myself using such language😁😳!

Also,# 19. is wrong we use cinn-a-mon & sea salt, honey & molasses, too.
 
Kroger sale crushed red pepper as a spice.
Red pepper is a fruit of the vine & a vegetable in the kitchen, but dried & crushed it is a spice.
Coriander seeds are a spice, but the leaves are a herb called Cilantro or Chinese Parsley.
