post up any picture/s and tell a little story about/behind it. 

this was back in the early 90's.  I remember going to soccer tournaments and asking mama for a dollar to go and get papaya salad.  life, back then to me, seems a lot more simple.

Left-overs from my trip to Thailand. Had to swing through Hong Kong, so got some Chinese bills, too.

[Mr_Mechanic]

cool.  what do you do with left over money?  keep it or save it for next time.

anyways, this is a very cool and useful tool.  I have 3 of these.

[Reporter]

Save it for next time. I'll be going back there again.

This bug has several weapons as circled. Plus, it's venom.



The scorpion beats the centipede any time, because of that.

when is the last time anybody seen these pay phone?  funny thing.  my work place has one.  lol.

[Reporter]

I've seen torn down phone booths but no more phones inside.

One wonders how this tree survives here and others won't. It must have secrets it doesn't share with others.

I was just clicking on a link called "unbelievable renovation fails that actually happened" on yahoo and I just had to chuckle a little bit.  I'm no expert but this just doesn't look right.  lol

[Mr_Mechanic]

I still see a few of these phones around but they are non-operative. Did you use this type of phone to make free calls back then? lol

most times, I just pay.  other times, I collect call.

[Mr_Mechanic]

I guess you missed the free phone calls back then.

yes, I did.
