Yeah, that's not a job I'd like to have during the winter months either. And the winds? Oh no, not for me.. I still have a couple of friends who do it though and they say they'd not have any other job. They love it.

There was a time that I'd have loved to have been an OTR driver. Way back when I was immortal, in my own mind of course..

Believe it or not, my heritage is a mystery, and I can only go back as far as my grandparents, on either side. My maternal grandmother never would discuss her life prior to coming to this country. All she would say is that there were severe limitations on one's freedom, especially freedom to openly worship, and that living conditions were very bad. I must have family ties in Eastern Europe, but no information. Sometimes I think I was just hatched out of an egg.

I had read Alex Haley's "ROOTS" which prompted me to search my own heritage. Maybe when we get older we have more interest in just knowing where we came from, at least that was my case. The paternal side was easier just tracing the surname. Maternal was not so easy since they lived remotely in Appalachia.

I did find it interesting to search about the history of the area, the coal mining community and the attempts to Unionize. I did find that my great-grandfather was murdered by illegal company deputies only because he wanted to join the Union, and the winter supply of sorghum molasses was spread over the ripped open feather beds and my grandmother and her Mom nearly starved and froze that winter.

They were all aliens...but legal. An angel, I am not. That's for sure.

Essentially the same stuff, but without the pimentos. I never knew about hog brains and scrambled eggs. When I first came here, I ate at a breakfast buffet in town and thought the eggs were the best I had in a restaurant, not dried out. I enjoyed them until I looked a little closer and saw stuff in it that wasn't egg. I nearly puked when I asked about it and the restaurant owner told me what it was. I get sick even thinking about it.

ROFLMBO!!

So was it brains, Lala? I don't blame you for wanting to hurl.

Take care Blue and be safe! Keep checking in with us! Goodnight and sleep tight!!

[Oglala]

Well, good night folks. Time to shower and go to sleep, for a little while, anyway. I never sleep more than a couple of hours at a time, and I'll be up at the crack of dawn anyway. Actually, it will likely still be dark when I get up for the day. I can sympathize with Roaming.

Yes, it was brains. Hubby suspected something but didn't tell me. I'm sure that he was just waiting for a reaction.

Once again, good-night.

[Ancient Wolf]

Well I am checking out too. Good night folks.

LOL! Your hubby sure does have a warped sense of humor!! How funny!! But I think you've mentioned his humor on here once or twice already. Weren't you the one a few days ago that said he pointed you out to a little girl who said a potty smelled bad inside? ROFLMBO!!! I laughed so loud here that the dogs got startled out of a sound sleep!!

You're so lucky to have a man with a sense of humor, albeit one that's a bit on the wicked side sometimes, LOL!

I guess I miss that most of all. The laughing together until your side are about to split and you're about to trip yourself trying to make it to the bathroom to pee before it leaks out by accident, haha!

@ Oglala...a few days ago when you mentioned your Russian grandmother I wondered if she was Jewish. Are you familiar with "The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews"? They do a lot to help Russian (and other) Jews. They have a program called, "On Wings of Eagles" where they help Russian Jews immigrate to Isreal.

If your mom's mother was Jewish you are considered Jewish and as I understand it, you have "return rights" to immmigrate to Isreal. They go by the women of the family to determine your heritage.
I imagine your grandmother had to live through things that she did not want to talk about.:( You might be better off not knowing...but I'd want to know.

I had to get up, sleeping with my neck in a crooked position. My kiddo is not exacly that, he was a 42 years old. LOL But the thought counts.

I am not sure that the souse had the pimentoes either, but it had red chunks and since I knew the meaty parts came from the hog's nose.. need I say more? LOL

The ex daughter in law loved to live high on the hog but she did not like that the son had to work to get the hog. I guess she thought money fell out of the sky or grew on trees. My dream of smacking her in the teeth and hitting the dog has not happened any more lately.
