Evening, folks. I'm just up under the sink replacing a faucet at the moment.......*grumble*

*OWWWWW!* My !@%$* knuckles!

Cool, I need to look into this. Two thoughts, first, I kinda like the bizarre Lipton Tea lady on Inner Sanctum- don't know why. Second, they're right about the scariest, we've heard probably half of them; especially the first two and they gave me chills in my bed.

Hey. What’s new? I was there with you yesterday fixing a leaking dishwasher. Now it doesn’t leak but sounds like a tractor trailer.

Best Show Introduction: Suspense

Completely agree, but they need to have Lux Theater there too.

[citizen]

Well, great! Keep the quality programming from old time radio alive!! It’s the best entertainment around.

[Vision]

Love these Dream Girl commercials.

[citizen]

If you do an old radio ping list, please put me on it.

[WXRGina]

I always sing along with the Lustre Cream jingle! I love it, too!

[WXRGina]

Viking! I’m glad to see you! I’ve been wondering how/where you’ve been, and now I see you are submerged in a hassle plumbing job. Get the Neosporin cream for your knuckles.
:-) (You’re very good at the .gif smiley faces!)

[Vision]

Sure

[Viking2002]

Oh, you should have been around for the Nuclear Hot Water Tank Explosion a few weeks back. I replaced both elements one evening after the hot water stopped, then it died again the next morning, so then I put a new thermostat control module on it, took a hot shower, and went to work. The missus calls an hour later - she said she heard a big bang come from the utility closet, so she ran outside to throw the breaker, and when she walked back into the kitchen, the entire bottom of the tank blew open and scared the bejeezus out of her. By the time she got to the water main cutoff, we had a swimming pool inside. It took two days to wet/dry vac the living room carpet clean. Needless to say, I put in a cutoff valve in the cold water intake pipe when I replaced it. While all that was going on, we had a cascade failure of all the electrical outlets at the opposite end of the house, and I spent a day replacing all of them when I wasn't wet from the plumbing problem. We must have taken a power surge - that was all a little too coincidental.

So, how's things?

I guess I'm doing better than you. (:

We've had beautiful weather here. Sunny and in the 60s. Lacrosse season is in full swing. Might have some landscaping done but am still considering it. O’Mally just legalized homosexual marriage and folks are going through the process to overturn it this Nov.

These guys like the spooky shows, just like we all do. I agree with the Suspense intro, too, as well as the Lux Radio Theatre intro.

[Vision]

Night Gina, all. I’m off to listen to Suspense by the radio.

Have a great week.

[Viking2002]

Yeah, I saw where he not only legalized gay marriage, they're looking to increase taxes again on gas and alcohol, now they want to tax barber shops, beauty shops, car repairs, shoe repairs, fitness centers, escort services, and just about anything else they haven't levied fees against in the last fifty years. If it goes on much longer, the only residents left will be in the top 20% of household income earners, and then half of them will be living in trailer parks.

Goodnight, Vision and Viking.

Our country is in worse trouble than we can imagine.
