Love this! Not foolish at all. What is the machine in the picture, Jerry? |

Thank you, Lori. <><> Nicole, the machine is called a linotype machine. It is what all the books and newspapers of the world had their type set in order to print them. Computers phased it out. I loved that old thing. Still have printers ink running through my veins. Thank you for asking and commenting. You have two choices in life: |

Thank you for sharing that with us...I bet it was an art form in and of itself, printing. It's unfortunate that our 'efficiency' has replaced that; there's nothing that can ever truly replace the feel of paper and the time spent printing on it. |

Nicole, you are a wonder. Most people could care less. But it was a feeling of accomplishment when the book was finished, or the magazine was printed. I set type from pornography to Baptist Sunday School Books. It was a prideful thing all the way around for most printers. You have two choices in life: |

Cool Dude!! Never had the sideburns, but Elvis was king of R&R and what ever he did at that time was boss, so I understand, and I know you weren't alone. ( Did you say, "Thank-U-verymuch..." to the guy taking the picture)??? Heeeheeee.... JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

That's a very beautiful picture, I also "studied" the machine and I guessed well. I think you look very good with those sideburns. Elvis was the hit and only at distance of time you might think you looked like a fool, but no doubt at the time you were very much "in"! Very enjoyable, Jerry! Margherita |

Haha! Of course I gave the shooter of the photo a genuine "Thank-U-verymuch," JL. And yes, he was very much the king. <><> Thank you, Margherita, and you're right I didn't think of myself as a fool at the time that picture was taken. You have two choices in life: |
