Location: Keller, TX | My friend just pulled this out of her closet. (Sorry for the lousy pictures, my phone was all I had). She thinks it is a Country Artist but isn't sure. Label is missing. Couldn't find a serial number. Thinks it was made about 1975. Medium bowl. Slothead. Nylon string. Single knob on the base side near the neck. Wide neck. Any ideas? What's it worth?

And everyone knows that any photo's of me supplied by you have no credibility - we all know your special gift. ( Insert Llama here ) |

I have 2 daughters, who are significantly older than yours. You have so much to look forward to during her teen years. Some of the guys they pick and that pick them are pretty amazing. I recommend you get a strong leash that you can attach to whatever ring she pierces her body with. |

In Jersey, you DON'T use your backyard, and you don't "mark" anything . . .
Y'just have t'remember that when scattering the "parts" to the various locations, you remove the EZ-Pass transponder from your car (I learned THAT from Al ;-) |

If anybody who looked like I did ever showed up to date one of my daughters, they would have left the house sad, alone and hopefully scared! |

Location: Keller, TX | She's my second. Oldest is 13. A friend of mine let me in on his secret... Everyone in the world knows one sound, even if they have never, ever heard it before.
Picture this. Your breaking into a house. Don't ask why, you just are. You are walking down a dark hallway so you don't wake the occupants when you hear it.
Ca-chunk, Ca-chunk.
Yep, that's it. You just heard the worst, most recognisable sound in the world: Double pump shot gun, NOW LOADED.
That sound will put the fear of here. Tell the boyfriend that she never comes home late or crying, for ANY reason. |
