When I was growing up, if we got homesick for the YT, we'd just haul out an old 5 dollar bill and we'd be home again!

I wish it was still like the old days, I was born in 1990 and I HATE technology. Id love it if it went back to TV that only had 1 or 2 channels, no internet and lock up all the tree huggers {no offense to all trehuugers out there}. Everything is so complicated, stressed out and everyone is so worrysome now. I just wish I would have been born in the 30's-70's! Or maybe history will repeat itself? lol.

Why not just move to northern BC? I could recommend a few places that would suit you fine. You'd fit right in as long as you had enough long guns of the right calibre....

Actually, on second thought, Baffin Island is the place you want to go. I asked one young guy I met how many rifles he had and he said "12... and a few .22s". But he was looking for a new .454 cal Wetherby (or something like that). I asked him why he needed such a large shoulder cannon and he just smiled dreamily and said "Beluga". The previous winter he drove his new snowmobile home from the store in Iqaluit - a trip of about 600 miles.
Now THAT'S a country pre- X box neanderthals like us could get used to ....

This person of numerous years does not remember something of that nature ever being under the Christmas tree. However, I do believe it is a parody just so they can call the woman a ballbuster". Which was an insult back in the 80's??? Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone?...anyone?...Bueller?Trinity said:

Compliment or insult anytime???PMedMoe said:
Was just the 80's way of calling a woman bad or "spatch" without really insulting her sensibilities. Ane I did know a few ballbusters, either in the wallet or physically and mentally. Jeesh, you had to get rid of them ones quick. But, I digress.
The 80's were good to me... ;D ;D ;D ;D
And I don't tell stories out of school...
Later,BYTD
