  1. Like knick-knacks on the mantle, a good conversation piece but not worth a lot.
  2. Very impressive number. Probably explains why Stacey Abrams changed her tune. [Hidden Content]
  3. My light bulb went off again. Gotta post it before I forget (again). I can only relay the way I see things. Others may be more observant than me, or put more thought into visual impressions. One of my initial awakenings was when a friend and I, after work, started building cedar fences (could fill a post about digging post holes in mid-County gumbo when it hadn’t rained in a month, lol). My friend was known at work as Mr. Metic(ulous), so when putting the fences up, we took extra pains to make sure fence was straight & level. When we finished, the Lufkin Rule Company could use our fences to make straight edges. Point is, prior to this, when I saw a cedar fence, I just ‘saw’ a fence. After starting this, I looked at fences with a critical eye, admiring the good ones & frowning at the bad. Recently, my back started giving me a lot of trouble. I use a cane to walk. I have to use a cane for support. Now I notice others with canes. Again, prior to this, just a person with a cane. Now I notice the difference. A very few seem to carry one just for show. The majority seem to use one primarily for balance (yes folks, many old folks no longer have a good sense of balance). Then you have folks like me who have to use one to walk. I guess what I wonder, are most folks like me, not really ‘seeing’ things until you have a connection, or am I unique? Lol, doesn’t matter a lot, just curious. What matters is how could a former soldier who won his Company PT test for two years, be resigned to having to walk with a cane. How the mighty have fallen....😂😂😂

  5. Seems our country is filled with idealistic people. They pick their subject/agenda and present to the world ‘a caring person’. But - But, their caring only goes so far. Take the slave labor in China. Those caring folks should be up in arms. Same with the Africa mining. But - But, live without our Nikes, without our cell phones? No way. Seems their caring only goes so far.
  6. I don’t mind. My password is........is.........I don’t remember. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂
  7. I’m just glad I know how to login. 😂😂😂
  8. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
  9. Once again, firefighters struggle with electric car fires. This one had 8 firefighters fighting it for 7 hours & used 28,000 gallons of water. By comparison, the average gas car takes about 300 gallons of water to extinguish. Then the article mentions the harm to the environment from all the future used batteries. From the article, We’re trading one problem for another. [Hidden Content] Can you imagine the backed up traffic if car fires tie up traffic for 6-7 hours? Holy Moly.
  10. Another. How to frighten the new generation. Put them in a room with a rotary telephone, an analog watch, and a TV with no remote. Then leave directions on how to use them written in cursive. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  11. A rare agreement. 😄. Progress!
  12. Teachers today have a lot of the same problems Police are having. No one (in this case, students) shows any respect anymore. If the District doesn’t have a strict policy, and I bet few do, kids are going to go as far as they can. Students calling the teachers names, right in the classroom, is ridiculous. Were I a teacher, I doubt I’d make a half a day before wearing a belt/board out & getting fired. They must be saints to put up with the 🐂💩. I go back to a study done some years back were school students on Military bases scored higher that their public counterparts, even with higher integration ratios. Reason was discipline. Little Johnny get rowdy, teacher tells Jonnys parents First Sgt, Who Calls the parents in and tells them to get Johnny in line - end of problem. No matter the color/race, most kids aren’t stupid. Put them in a highly disciplined environment and you’ll see better test scores.
  13. I’m a great admirer of good memes. I can’t post them (as pictures) so I’ll have to do mine descriptively. For those that can, this’ll be a great place to put’em. Here’s the latest I’ve ran across. WHY DON’T THE 99% OF US WHO AREN’T OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING QUIT CATERING TO THE 1% WHO ARE? Great question.
  14. Hey old buddy, what is a Mark Forum Read button?
  15. Like Chester, my mind’s made up. The 2020 election was the equivalent of an election in Russia. The outcome was decided long before any ballots were cast. The math, the crowds (or lack thereof), the candidates (Harris was most unpopular Dem), all,add up to the election being fraudulent. Hopefully, the new voting laws will see a return of voter confidence, but if there aren’t any Republicans counting votes, Dems will always win.
  16. You remember the McCloskeys. The St. Louis couple who took their guns out in their yard to protect themselves from the BLM crowd who, ignoring the No Trespassing signs, had torn down part of their fence and were in their yard. Officials there confiscated their guns. Here’s Mr. & Mrs. McCloskey getting him a new AR-15. Way to go McCloskeys! [Hidden Content]
  17. Late to the Party, but I hope all of you had a Happy Fathers Day. I realized years ago when my son was born, you’ll never know how much your parents loved you until you become a Father.
  18. Folks today will take honesty over race any time. No offense to Mr. West, I don’t live in Bmt & have no idea of eithers qualifications or background.
  19. I’m not surprised. Would’ve been surprised if the man won. Imo, most of us have heard so many stories of crooked male politicians, we’re quick to pick a woman hoping she’ll be more honest. Of course women are probably as susceptible to temptation as men, but we can always hope.
  20. This may ramble even more, so bear with me. As humans we have mental human limitations (at least I do). I can’t imagine a universe with no end. In my mind, there should be a border, a drop off, a wall - something. Can’t even begin to imagine what would be on the other side of that - something. That mental limitation prevents us from understanding God’s love for us, until something happens to enlighten us somewhat. I use to ask myself, how could God continue to love us when we’re constantly ignoring him and being.....well, bad. Then I got enlightened. Prior to going in Marines, our Grandson worked at Tractor Supply. One day he heard a noise from a pallet full of feed stacked 4 to a layer with a hole in the middle. At the bottom of that hole was a kitten about a month old, skinny & full of fleas. He got her out & brought her home & him & his Dad bathed her and de-fleaed her. He couldn’t keep her in his apartment so she ended up with me & my wife. Took her to the Vet when a little older for shots and neutered. We hadn’t had pets in forever. Didn’t really want one, but inevitably we fell in love with “Maise”. Now some of you have never had cats. They’re to heck & gone from dogs, who (for the most part) are loving & obedient. Cats think they run things. Rarely display affection, and ignore commands. Point is, we still love her - despite the ignoring & lack of affection from her, yep, we still love her. I guess that’s the way God loves us, even when we ignore him, and ignore his Commandments. I hope his post hasn’t offended anyone. It could be construed as being sacrilegious I guess, but certainly not my intention. I do find it amazing that I can learn something about (from?) God from a durn cat, I guess there’s a little bit of God all around us if we just look for him.
  21. Wow is right. Whoever did it will probably be job hunting.
  22. That statue says volumes. Unbelievable.
  23. [Hidden Content] Odd she should say that with her having made a racist public statement recently. Chicago has had 956 people shot in the first 4 months of 2021. The Mayor has no idea how to stop it. What does she do, the old liberal two-step, scream Racism. Seems blacks in Chicago have an average of 9 years less to live than whites. Duh woman, you think all these black children getting killed might be reducing life expectancy? Freaking Democrats. [Hidden Content]
  24. When I used to go, no way would I sit home & watch a screen. Not even close to being at a game. Being there with the cheering, booing, running to the concession stand and seeing a bunch of folks you know. Watching on a computer or iPad will never replace that.
  25. The significance of this, seems like a lot of liberals realize how bad he is, or should we blame his puppet masters? I think his wife is pulling some strings too. Whoever is doing it Sierra Uniform Charlie Kilo.
