[CarltonsKeeper]

I don't think Doc still Practices as an optometrist but, he is still heavy in the OIL BUSINESS and he is about 82 in age.....Daughter's name is Sandra and I think the boy (his son) is named Keith.... that was his name a few years ago......When you find out I'm right you can apology to me at Cattlemen's and bring your credit Card and Money......

Do you know Doc Smith's life long secretary's name??? She eats lunch with him everyday, Sherri's Diner quite often and that joint that was once Kip's Big Boy about 60th and S. Western!!!!!!!!

I didn't understand what you were bumping up and there wasn't a link.
I've never understood what bumping up means.

Bumping, in this context anyway, is posting primarily so new content moves the thread to the beginning of the new posts lists, as contrasted to posting primarily to add significant content.

I was bumping this thread to the top of the list so the newbies wouldn't have to hunt for it down the page... it would be at the top or near the top when they log into OKCTalk. Havent you ever been on a forum where you just saw someone make a post that just said, "Bump".....?? They were doing the same thing......making it go to the top of the list.

But what was the post you were bumping to the top? I
couldn't tell. This is the only forum I've ever seen "bump"
used.

It simply means that, when you look at the page under Nostalgia and Memories, the thread for Southside OKC Memories will be at the top because it had the last post. Hence, it was bumped to the top.

I wasn't bumping a post.... I was bumping this whole thread, "Southside OKC Memories", to the top of the Nostalgia & Memories list. Here's the definition in Wikipedia.....

Bump (Internet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread's profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active threads. It has been suggested that "bump" is an acronym of "bring up my post",[1] however this is almost certainly a backronym and the usage is entirely consistent with the verb "bump" which means "To knock to a new position".[2] It can also be used in personal messages (PMs) or instant messages (IMs) on the Web, to return an older message to the top of the list."

OKC Memories will be at the top because it had the last post.

I can understand someone wanting a particular post to be at the
top of the thread. But a specific thread wasn't posted. Since
this is already the Southside Memories thread the last post will
always be a Southside Memories post and will always be at the
top of the thread.

I'm missing something or am making this too hard.

Yes, you're missing something. I'm talking about when you're looking at the page under Nostalgia and Memories which shows all of the various threads. It moves the Southside Memories thread to the top of that page. It has nothing to do with the where the individual posts are located within the Southside Memories thread.

Hey Pruner:..........are you drinking that "Fermented" Prune Juice again?????? If so, be careful...Mom's know what to do....

Well, it's about time for the Southside to come "Alive" again. School is in the air and the kids (as usual) don't want to go. What can any of you tell about your first days of school? I remember being told that all the boys had to have their Levis run up the flag pole on the first day of the Seventh Grade at Grant. I first thought how stupid...then how humiliating....was petrified the first two days of Junior High....Or, how about that first couple of days shen you had your first car???? I remmebr having a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and thought it so cool...then as I drove into the parking lot one of my friends drove up in his "Brand New" 1962 Impala. I was bummed out however, as the year progressed I notice he was hardly at any of the school functions.......CAR PAYMENTS.....gotta work....welcome to school...any stories from any others???

Couldn't stand it. If there was one place on Earth I never, ever
wanted to be, it was school. The first thing I wanted to know
was when the next federal holiday or scheduled break was,
i.e. school was out.

Does anyone remember the name of the Pizza Parlor on S.W. 59th and May Ave?......

[Prunepicker]

Does anyone remember the name of the Pizza Parlor on S.W. 59th
and May Ave?

Pizza Inn.

I remember the 'All You Can Eat' buffet for $1.59! A friend and I,
highschool aged, nearly put them out of business one day. I alone
put down the equivalent of 4 thin crust pepperoni pizzas. My
friend was bigger and ate a lot more! His mom, who treated us,
ate like a normal adult. I mean a normal northsider adult.

There's something that happens to the mind and body of a
teenager when "All You Can Eat" and PIZZA are used in the same
sentence. In fact, it still happens to me as we speak.

Oh, it's still there. I like Pizza Inn thin crust pepperoni.

You're too smart for us, and especially him. LOL!

I think I answered that question but it was a long time ago.
Maybe it can be found in the archives.

Mom's the best! She said so.
