After viewing the poll options, a choice of "all of the above" would have made it easier to respond. Almost 50 years "pulling the plow" has involved several kinds of yokes at different times and for different durations.

SteveZ, I have to say I really enjoy your posts. Sooo much common sense and logic in your statements that it calms my soul and gives me hope for the world. That's not to say there aren't a lot of great posters on here and I realize this isn't the most complex issue you've addressed but your posts strike a certain resonance for me that makes me look forward to the next thoughts you share. BTW, I totally agree with your statement above, I have a great many hats left from all the occupations I have had over the years.

Thank you. Regarding my having any "common sense" or "logic, " I know of several who would disagree with you (especially my kids!) (LOL)

I'll betcha most Villagers have worn a lot of hats during their working years.

An interesting survey Captain, thanks for asking.

Oooh, Bare, did you have an occupation that required a white collar around your neck and a pair of "bunny" ears on your head?

OK Peachie, you've outed me. But that was a hundred years and 30 pounds ago.

And then I started working for IBM and they demanded I check my free spirit at the door. Just got it back a year ago.

Barefoot, still waters run deep, don't they? Here you are with this wild side that most of us didn't know about. BTW, have you heard about the new Hangers or is it Hooters that will be hiring shortly, per Talk Host's thread?

I'd think Droopers would be more appropriate.

Question New Restaurant?

If you're talking about the new Hooters in the Villages, I heard it was going to be called 'Droopers".

You asked what type of background allowed us to live in TV.
Chels and I once earned our living by displaying them.




Haha, just kidding. Joking Captain.

I guess I need to put up a category "No Collar".
