The antique shops were friggin' awesome today. I got a bunch of bottles like Hostetters bitters, Blue Lick mineral water, Sher-A-Coca, some beers, some soda's and a nice post Civil War beer. I also saw some beautiful, authentic Harper's weekly engravings of war time scenes, and a Richmond Confederate States of America ten dollar bill. I was already in the hole with the bottles, so I reluctantly gave up the ten dollar bill for a better purpose...;)
 

I was digging around in my favorite bottle vendor's booth. There must be an easy 1,000 bottles in there. It's crazy! I am literally on the floor digging under shelves because there are bottles even under the shelves! GB, You would spend a year in there. I'll be right there with ya too!


So anyway, I am digging under the shelves for some bottles, When the spitting image of a Greek goddess comes walking in the both with me. Black hair, big brown eyes, tight t-shirt, and every man's favorite, black yoga pants.

I just about died of heart attack then and there.

She immediately went for the older beer bottles and began browsing. I did a bit of browsing myself. :)

After a while, the curiosity got the best of me. I managed to say, "I have never seen a girl into bottles before". She replied that she was actually looking for Civil War era bottles.

Gimme a ring, I wanna marry this girl.

I then made my move, by asking why the war era? She went on about how her 3xgreat grandfather was in the Confederate Army, and he fought in Gettysburg on Culps Hill. She got interested in the war after that. I dug into my pocket, and handed her a Civil War bullet. A bullet from Culps Hill. Those brown eyes got huge. After a while of staring at it, she said, "So you carry Civil War battle munitions in your pocket?".


"Oh yes. I carry CW Bullets, coins foreign and domestic, cash, two marbles, a dowel, (inside joke, lol), Military buttons, and whatever else fits.". She asked why on earth would I carry all that stuff, and I said because I love to show people tangible pieces of History.


After a lengthy discussion about our CW ancestors, she asked, "Is this the first time you talked to a girl?". "What was your first clue" I said. "Because you are clenching that bottle like you are going to break it, and you are pale.". Oh yeah, that's how she knew.
I told her that I was homeschooled, and indeed she was the first one I had ever talked too. The fact that she liked CW history had me in a state of shock as well.

After some more talking, she sighed and said that she was looking for a Civil War artifact to buy, but she hadn't found any yet in two years. I dug my hand down into the basket I had for my "acquirements" and took out the Confederate Ten dollar bill and handed it to her. She was very happy and thankful, and I was out of breath.


I could see my little brother in the next aisle, over her shoulder, giving me the grin that only brothers know about. Oh #$%^, I will never hear the end of this one.


She said she had to go, and she bent over to pick up a bottle she had selected. The view of that perfect posterior made me feel like I was going to black out. Whether she did that on purpose or not, I don't know. She smiled, shook my hand, and left after that. Then I resumed digging under the shelves for some dusty old beer bottles.

That. Was. Fun. I officially change my mind about Lexington City Girls. ;)

You were so busted. And a bottle nearly was too.:laughing7:

You did not correct her for her own good health by telling her to bend at her knees ,not her back?:icon_scratch::laughing7:
 

They very fact she bent at the back, not at the knees tells me it was on purpose. Either way, I do not care!:love4:


Yeah Bill, I fell hook, line, sinker, rod, and reel for her. I think I will smell that perfume, and remember that face for a good while!:tongue3:
 

Well I think Ima goin' t' bed now. Got good material to dream about now...

I'll get some bottle pics in the morning.

Night y'all!
 

I was nervous talking to a married lady the other day....

Needed to renew my drivers license and truck registration.
Talking was not the potential problem , failing vision leaving me farsighted was.
And the Secretary of State is known for no nonsense automatons.

So , I gambled going to my hometown on the way to visit Dad. Just for luck maybe ,and hopes of less waiting.
Being easily distracted I did not make an appointment.
One good barn sale would have messed me up.

Went in the Secretary of State , pulled a number off the reel. (Didn't note any discarded numbers from impatient folks or I would have shopped for a lower one) and sat near and facing the door with my back to the counter. Pushed my crutches out just far enough to trip the unwary...

Half the people coming in tried to push the door that had the sign saying pull. So I felt better about my odds. At least I could read the door.

Listening to conversations at the counter there was a guy and a gal having quite a chat with lots of laughing. Figured they knew each other.
When my number was called , all stations at the counter had folks at them ,and I had not seen who called my number.
I went along the counter pretending to have some clue of what I was doing and a guy moved over at the far end where they take your license photo.
As I approached nearer the gal behind the counter said to the guy ,"I went to call the next number one time when it was fifty . I said fifty dollars.
And no one would come up to the counter..." More laughter.

The gal asked what "we" were doing and I handed her two slips of paper . One each for what was needed.
I'm noticing her wedding ring ,aprox. age ect . out of habit and she and the guy are still bantering about his wife asking him about his shirt choice for his picture and telling him that dog won't hunt.
He then asked if I knew? I said ,yeah ,it's usually warmer in the house come winter , than outside..
They laughed.

After some computer time she asked how I was going to pay.
Cash , I said. Straight faced. I'm going to get back in line and wait for you to call fifty dollars. More laughter. The guy said "that'd be cheaper" and the gal said "you guys".

The guy was still bantering and said when his son took the vision test ,he told the poor kid he failed. And laughed.
(O.K. ,now I'm distracted... Vision test..)

Vision test time!
I faked the last half of the second line.
By this time we had been clowning around so much that the distraction/ self-consciousness of the vision test had me wondering what the folks awaiting their turns thought was going on.
More paper shuffling and the gal looks at me with a knowing smile and said , "you barely passed that vision test....."
I said ,"thank you". Then wondered about the joking earlier about the guys son , and was she playing off it. But I knew my eyes were not excelling at the test.
The next look in her eyes told me she had given me a break, I think.

I can read a gals mind usually , unless she expects me to....???

The guy was getting his picture taken in the shirt his wife picked for him.
"Momma be proud!" Was his shirt statement again.

He wished us well and headed out.
"Let me borrow that shirt" I said , a little to loud without looking.
From halfway across the room came "Momma be proud!" followed by laughter.

With my picture was finished I went back to the counter.
The gal sat there looking at me , mildly amused.
"Is that it?" I asked.
"That's it" she said.
I stood there starting to feel awkward as she did not call another number or say anything , just sat there watching me like/with a Mona Lisa smile.
Not being able to read her mind again for sure .....
I thanked her ,wished her a great day...And left.

That is good advice. I'm sure he will remember next time ;)
But no phone number? No invite to Tnet? Oh Grasshopper...
When I was a teen most pretty girls were Greek goddesses in my excited eyes.
 

I would never say bad things about you Captain AARC!
.....imply them maybe [emoji15] [emoji1]
Your shirt is now famous.

Nite RR, sweet dreams.[emoji4]

RC, i get to renew my license this year too, i'm hoping all goes well.
....i have my doubts.
They are issuing the "secure" license that will require every proof of who i am and any supporting documents from birth to present. Thats not the problem though.
No vehicle presently, and i would need my doctors ok to drive one anyhow.
I just don't want the DMV taking over that approval.
The doctor is reasonable, DMV not so much.
I will be showing up in a chair, Aidp...so far.
My plan was to ace wrap both ankles and tell them i spranged them & presently don't have a vehicle. Which is the truth...just not all the info.
I will not be driving untill and if i can anyhow, with my doctors approval.
I need my license for ID. starting in 2020 all licenses will have to be secure ones to even get on a plane, bus, train, or in a federal building.

Sometimes if needed... but mainly used for a fresh water rinse / soak.

First rinse.. soak in pool... then rinse... hang air dry in shade... when dry it all goes in those 2 bags.

This was a day when I was picking up dry and decided a funny picture for Tnet was in order and had my girl snap a "super hero stance".... heh

IT did not "come off" very well :P

I think it came off well ARC, even that stance. I know I made fun of your fence, but I was only joking and you should know that. It appeared that you take care of your equipment and are organized. And the pic of the guy throwing up....................ah he was seasick, yes, that is it. Seeing your pool made him seasick :icon_thumright:
 

Curious ARC, years ago I "think" I read an article that said a kid on a surf board had discovered that wreck site. You were surfing ? Or maybe I was thinking of someone else at a different site :dontknow:
 

Hi Sis, the lack of sunlight has my sundial not working so I can't tell you the time either. :dontknow:
