Doris, Frank calls his wallet, a"pocketbook", I think thats funny. Seems we NJ people have a different language. Pat I remember the "worter" and here its watter and tares for tires. Betty terlet reminds me of Archie Bunker. Diesel... I have my Moms fancy Ronson lighter its black and silver. Lost her orange ashtray, push down the thingee on the top and it opened up, we had fun just pushing the thing.
