Just a rant of an old man.

The bigger the breast  the more fat tissue.  So if you like big breast  then you like fat.    I have been with people skinny and fat to me the most import thing is do they keep them self clean and their personality.

Maybe I do not understand narrow mined people or people that judge without knowing someone.  But the older I get the lest patient I get with people like that.  There is a lot I do not understand  But just maybe with out hate and judgeing this old world would be a better place.  So Many songs from the 60 about peace and love from the Beatles and others I wish that the whole world would have head the songs and today would have been a kinder world.  Or maybe someone should have pushed the button.  I'm sure the the  people that should read this won't but I feel better for writing this.

It's a fine post Dth, though you could have done without the illustrations. I'm not a biology person. But I understand.

I don't care about tit size.

I like a happy smile and a caring, intelligent, creative and loving woman. I just like heart of gold, I guess...

Sorry Foamy I just stayed a little to long at the Old Dudes Bar.  So to make it up to one and all I will post one of the many Loves of my life.

The 60's. Wow. I grew up in the 60's, I lived in the 60's and remember them. Robin Williams said that if you remember the 60's you weren't there. Crap, he was probably spaced out but not everybody was, it was about more than that.

The music was awesome and a huge variety from soft ballads, flower power to rock. Soul came to the shores of the UK with Tamla Mowtown, then got even heavier with recordings from Stax Records, music never heard of much before. Whatever you liked, you'd find it.

You have to remember that particularly for the UK, bit racist but I'm concentrating on the white anglo saxon Brits, Yanks, Canadians and Aussies here, our parents and grandparents had lived through two world wars. The kids that grew up to be teenagers in the sixties, didn't know what war was, hadn't lived and been brought up under a constant threat. The so called baby boomers. Our parents didn't have much so we had to go out and earn a living. After that, it all turned to shit.

Maybe you are right, maybe someone should have pressed the button back then, because it's never going to be that good again.

I was there for both the 60's and 70's. But I don't remember a lot of it. I was in a coma for the most part, but carried on none the less. I always had a good job, did a good job, made good money, but spent a hell of a lot of it.

Women, drugs and booze. What more could you ask for? Cars were just a way of getting the girls.

There were some interesting skills I learned in the 1960 and 1970's.

I learned to read a paper road map. I know what a compass is. I know how to use a slide ruler. Occasionally, even today, I can write a sentence without a spelling checker.

I know how to land a stylus gently at the perfect place on a spinning vinyl disk without scratching it. I don't need a cell phone to coordinate logistics for a large family event.

I can rebuild a real automobile engine in my garage in the dark with my left hand tied behind my back. (Fuck the computer-contolled stuff. Ain't got the equipment fo' dat.)

My first radio was made in Japan. It had transistors. I could carry it around when I was a six-year old. I should have kept it in the box and sold it last year on Antiques Road Show for $20K.

And I should have bought Google stock in a private placement at $2 per share after it was first formed.

Excuse the rants of this old man, but hey, I'm staying on fucking topic for a change...

And, after the coming cyber war, our skills will be appreciated again.

Putting the arm down on a revolving vinyl without causing damage and making a pigs ear of the sound, now that is an art...  My old Thorens TD125 was great for that. (was it 125 or 150 ??  I'm getting old)

I had several turntables. The best designed models had hydraulics to control the lifting arm. Some had actual counter-weights. My favorite was the Dutch made Phillips turntable, which was controlled by capacitance. I loved that machine, and I still own it. And it still works.

As you know, the money's in the quality of the stylus cartridge and the needle.

Old man rant story: When I was a little boy, my grandparents had an old Edison cylinder gramophone in their gazebo. They died. I do not know what became of it: I was a little boy. But I will always kick myself for not having taking ownership of this device, as it, and its amplification system (a large ear-horn) were beautiful in design.

My children will inherit my first 8-bit computer. I promise. It still boots.

I got red of my slide rule about 5 years ago. Turn tables are on the way back  so are the big  33 1/3 I saw them at Fry's.  If someone was 18 in 1960 I wonder what she could get for her cherry on the Antique road show if she still had it today. ;)  I do remember carry an old radio down the the beach for my mom.  It was just about the size of a laptop but wider and weight a lot.  And also the TV repair man checking tubs when the TV was not working.

Peace Love give your honey a hug
