 Friends        | Disabled combat Vietnam vet, Recovering Addict - 34 years clean Married to Teri Farmer 52 years Life is like a roll of toilet paper -- the closer you get to the end the faster it goes!  wfarmerjr: I was a doorgunner on a UH-1N Huey which has two Pratt & Whitney Engines, two 2.75 FFAR (Folding Fin Ariel Rocket) Launchers, and two GAU-2B Mini-guns. The mini-gun is capable of firing 6000 rpm - rounds per minute. We only carried 15,000 rounds per gun so we geared the gun down - we had a butterfly grip with two triggers. Pull one the gun fires at 2000 rpm - pull both triggers and it jumps up to 4000 rpm. If the pilot heard the gunner go to 4000 rpm, he knew our Shit was in wind and it was time to leave. I got paid an extra $4 a day to be a gunner, but on the good side Beer was only 10 Cents a Can. 2 years ago • Report 0  wfarmerjr to WitchySYLO: I have a son who is an artist and him and his partner started a greeting card business that was for Bikers. He told me that he had talked to someone who wrote for a Biker magazine a few years back and I was wondering if you might be that person. His name is Brian which is his middle name - first name John. wfarmerjr to vgakathi: 71 couple married 53 years - Choctaw OK Question - do you make quilts? I bought my wife a really nice sewing machine because she said she wanted to learn how to make a quilt. hat was ten years ago and it's still in the box. I can't complain too much - she bought me a work bench for Christmas many years ago and it is still in the box in the garage as well. 😂 Surely there is a senior's group that get together to do quilts somewhere in the OKC area. wfarmerjr to connier1154: First off you don't look 66 but I am not the first person who has mentioned that. Bought a car for my daughter in Purcell but I like to go to Paul's Valley and eat at Pumkins BBQ and get their Fried Green Tomatoes. You have a blessed day and stay cool today. wfarmerjr to sassy_lady123: Five sons sounds like that old John Wayne movie "The Sons of Katie Elder" and she only had Four - congrats on a job well done. I do have one question - you say you have 5 grandkids - 3 boys and 3 girls? Is that the new math I keep hearing about? wfarmerjr to sassy_lady123: Hi - first off I am not looking for a relationship either. What I miss is the friendships I developed online when AOL first started. I would chat with these people that I would most likely never see in person, nearly everyday. We laughed and shared our day with each other. Before the internet we use to call them pen pals. I thought this site would be like those old chat rooms. I am happily married to Teri for 52 years - I am a disabled Vietnam vet, and a Great Grandpa. Teri's health is not good but not life threatening and our roles have switched. I now do all the cooking, cleaning, yard work and Teri sits in her Lazy-boy watching TV asking for me to bring her another Diet Coke 😊 I am joking of course, however cooking has become my new hobby and I get most of my recipes from watching YouTube. Baking has been a challenge. I usually cheat and buy a Deep Dish Pie Crust, but I have tried to make my own from scratch - some good - some not so good. I use real butter and have not tried using lard. Also it's Spring and I have a strong desire to start a garden but don't know where to start - do I start small, say in containers or dive in head first and buy a rototiller? Both options sound expensive and then there is all the landscaping work I need to do as well. Anyway, I am new to this site and I am most likely not doing this right but I have a good excuse -- I'm 70 Oh and one more thing and I am assuming a lot but anyways - Happy Mother's Day wfarmerjr to CeruleanSins: I have been married 52 years and I am a happy camper but I have watched a few YouTube videos on polyamorous relationships. I took a few sociology courses, and traveled the world, so I am a bit of an amateur sociology nerd.. 😎 I have heard shared from people that are in a poly relationship, that it seemed to work best when there are no kids or property involved from what . Poly is nothing new and has been with us since the dawn of history. Do you see polyamorous relationships being legalized in the United States? Gay Marriage rights have been won, so why not poly. Personally, what two or more consenting adults do in their home is none of my business. I am 70, a disabled Vietnam vet, and recovering drug addict with 32 years Clean and I say all that to say - life is too damn short so grab all the gusto you can because when the game of life is over there is no Do-overs. I wish you well and go have fun and make some life long memories. Peace Out PS - I am new to this site so if I messed up please forgive me. |
