I bounce between two brands of soap as my favorites.  Dial and Irish Spring because both get me equally clean.

My favorite childhood toy that is now my favorite adult toy is a Lionel Train Set.  Complete with a steam locomotive that blows smoke and dinging crossing gates at the station where the little station agent comes out and flags the train as it passes.

I enjoy the ballads of the country music genre as well.  And I really can't stand the bashing violent music of the rap genre.

And don't forget the 30 minute cassettes and reel to reel tapes that were also popular during the late 70's and early 80's.

Off-Topic / Re: Weather Channel

I have to agree that I think the Weather Channel along with so many of the Discovery Network chnnels are focusing more on drama events than actually reporting on what they should be and the Weather Channel is a classic example of it.  Luckily here in the DFW metero mess we have so many channels reporting weather that it is easy to keep up without haveing to depend on the sporatic information from the so called Weather Channel.

Have you ever returned a gift?  My 3rd grade grandaughter was given a rather expensive gold chain by one of her classemates and her mom had her return the gift with a nice thanks but no thanks note.

Off-Topic / Favorite Folk Song

Do you have a favorite Folk Song.  Not a modern or popular song.  But a Folks Song that has been passed down from generation to generation.  Mine is On Top of Old Smokey.  What is yours?
