    We lived in the Highlands a few years ago and The Grape Leaf meditteranean restaurant on Frankfurt Ave was awesome. Darrell. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

    Protecting yourself

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An excellent heart-felt reply Rae, to the crazy excesses of our recent national obsession with gun control, at the expense of commonsensical questions of why we have folks out there with socially destructive habits.&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif"...

    Honored to be here.

    Hi Brian and welcome from Darrell. I am one of the lurkers here. We had an rv for several years but due to economics, we gave it up. I give feedback whenever appropriate and I go on the chat side here and hang out in case folks want to say hello. We are in the sticks and bricks for awhile but...

    Dwelling in Portland and Seattle

    I wish I could help you on that question. we live near portland. I would imagine that living in suburb areas would be safe, we live south west of city in a small town. Of course there are high crime areas in parts of portland to avoid. Good luck from Darrell.<img...

    We drive an 01 Olds silhouette minivan and it gets 23 or more depending on driving style. the pontiac and chevy vans with 3.4 engine I guess do the same. Darrell<img rel="lightbox" src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="bbc_img" /> We have put 10K on it since buying last july

    working in the disaster areas....

    Hi folks. I second what Bri said about the Red Cross and it's hierarchy. I worked for them when we lived in L.ville a few years ago. I made the innocent mistake of climbing to the 3rd floor, curious to meet the Director. The secretary made a too-do about having to have an appt. to&nbsp; see him...

    sounds like a delicious way of getting to know a gal's interests, Howard. I used to date when I was single and gal's who did not like cats got my disapproval, along with smokers.<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /> Darrell.

    Eye candy!

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wow, a beauty. Hope the head gaskets were changed on that Subie engine at some time. We bought a new 01 Outback wagon and traded it in a year later, was a lemon. Most Subies are ok. I wonder if Subaru extended the warranty on certain recent engines since alot of them...

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interesting topic, folks. I have dealt with mental&nbsp; health issues all my life. I sometimes wish to have been born in a later era or to parents, father actually, who showed me more love, and not his neurosis. My wife and I have discussed these matters many times...
