store

In 1999, two men have a conversation about whose car should be in a space in front of the store. It was an older man an younger man. The older one says "You have every right to park there." Younger man "thank you" Older man "I just think it's WRONG." Younger man "Your wrong is my right."

I was working out in front of the store the day before thanksgiving 1998. A woman calls another woman a "dummy" or something for parking right there in front, maybe she parked in her way or something. Then the woman called Dummy yells "OH HAPPY THANKSGIVING! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"

Here is another memory that doesn't have anything to do with the store. In fact in was in July of 1979. I was 9 years old. It was a whole different world back then. It was a vacation in Chincoteague, Virginia and my Mom took me and my brother down there. We couldn't get into our cottage this Friday night so the 3 of us have to sleep in the car. On Saturday morning I try to push the door open without a key and the door opened! Saturday was great. But here is why I write this: Sunday morning we don't have a can opener to open the can of Hormel Chili so I go over to another cottage, knock on the door. A young woman answers, and I ask her if she has a can opener so I can open my Chili, she says yes and lets me use it. She was polite. Then, later, as it's nighttime, I turn the light on again in our cottage. From the cottage where I used the woman's can opener, I hear a male voice bellow "turn it off" and I turn the light off. It doesn't bother me that much now, only a little when I think of it. I just want to say, I still remember.

Only last summer, a man was taking his shopping cart of groceries to his car in the parking lot. As I was approaching him to help him, he said "get that cart over there, and I'll do this." I got the stray cart, and then went over him to help him. I never knew him before, never saw him before. So as I finished, I said "Thank you" a little sternly. Even last year, I thought just because I was still doing this job, people underestimated me. I had customers take me for someone less-abilitied than I really was, but for the most part, customers stopped being mean to me in 2005

When I was 10, I kept hearing the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight" on the radio. But I thought the song was called "Hard day tonight" because I thought that's what the singer kept singing. Also, Foreigner had the hit "Head Games" but I thought the song was "Games" because I thought the singer kept singing "at Games". These groups are O.k. but I like some groups better.

I have a great memory. I read an article about people like me who have great memories. Anyway, it said that the are "unknowns" out there who haven't come forward yet, and I never knew how to come forward. I didn't want to blog about this, but I think I have the right to say that I am one of these "unknowns".

You do have a remarkable memory, suffix. Can you remember exact dates, as well as interesting tidbits from your past? Are you good at math?

I can do math in my head but in school, when I did assignments, I was bad at it and I wasn't good in algebra in school. I can do some algebra but I was "snowed"in college algebra and had to drop it.
I remember lots of exact dates going back to the mid-70s. I remember things i saw on tv only once in the 70s, like sesame street.

Earlier I said that I remember lots of exact dates back to the mid-70s. The truth is , it tapers off going backward in the 1970s. The exact dates really pick up in 1980. I remember lots of things I did as a boy, in the 1970s. For example, 1976 was the only time in my life I was in St. Louis and also In the state of Nevada (Reno). In the summer of 1976, me, my Mom and my brother visited our relatives in California and Nevada. On the way there we got off the plane in St. Louis, from Washington D.C. and I saw a computer at the airport. I was staring at the blue monitor of the computer. It was July of 1976.

I guess I could share another childhood memory. I didn't like tomato soup and sometimes I didn't drink my Milk when I went to elementary school, in 1st and 2nd grade, when it was lunch. So when I was "done" I poured the milk into the tomato soup, making it rise. I have never liked tomato soup.

I was in 1st grade; the gym teacher was Mr. Valentine. There were 5 "squads" that my class was divided up in, and they sat in lines, and I was in squad 1, so this had me sitting in the line in the left side of the room next to the wall. An ant came by so I killed it. Mr Valentine said don't kill them, I asked why and then the whole class said they're pets. I must have not paid attention when the teacher said it at first. It was the 75-76 school year.

I have followed football seasons closely since I was 11. But in the football pregame shows they use the word "swagger" an awful lot now. So far this season of football, telecasters I've seen have used this word 9 times, and it's only 4 weeks into the season. Also the word swagger was used once in the baseball playoffs yesterday. In the dictionary "swagger" is defined as "A group's way of walking together." If you watch NFL football, look to see them use the word "swagger"; it seems to be used a lot now.

Back in the pitiful 94-95 season of Saturday Night Live, one time the musical guest was David Bowie. One of the songs he did was "Rebel Rebel" with some rather young backing musicians. Then, shortly afterward I read in a magazine or newspaper that this performance of "Rebel Rebel" wasn't real good, or something like that. So I refer now to this performance as "Rebel Rebel it wasn't that good."

Hi suffix,

Since you follow football closely, do have favorite teams? How do you choose which teams are your favorites?

I like the Washington Redskins and I have for a long time. But they don't seem very good this year and they look like they are going to collapse. They have many problems. Nonetheless, I don't see myself going for another team.
I have just been captivated by watching football on TV since I was 11. I started being hooked on it when I was 12. I still enjoy following the whole NFL. I am pretty good at picking what teams are going to win but I am not the best. I like rooting for teams that are underdogs, and I don't want teams to win who have people I don't like on them. I used to like Seattle but they changed their uniforms. I loved the Seahawks' old uniforms. For you Cowboys fans out there, sorry, I don't like the Cowboys, but they seem to be doing better than the Redskins, who need serious help.

Hey, I like rooting for teams that are underdogs, too! My favorite jersey is that of the Tennessee Titans. The two shades of blue look very nice to me.

Which team to you predict will win the Superbowl?
