Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Four

[Iffy]

No booze is allowed in her house.

OK, ya kinda tossed me wid da steepin' thing. Although I would Absolutely try sumpin' else... aka stealth binge...

 

[MamaTried]

I could have done that, but.....much easier to hold a person's attention with a video while the music plays than to get them to read a long post.....

i have no shame

plus, i'm lazy as hell

actually, i just wanted everyone to read it, even those as marginally lazy as me

 

[Rotowoman]

Several here can vouch fer dat!

You should set up a Hangout time with your son & his family, Roto.

It's a thought. We shall see.

To those of you who regarded a member's post this morning as an opportunity to mock religions other than your own, let me remind you that ISIS counts on you being a religious bigot and you're behaving exactly as they knew you would. After all, they don't like Muslims either.

Merry Christmas, narrow-minded hypocrites!

BWAHAHAhahahaha! Let me tell you why I can laugh at this. This is classic bells at his finest. Was it a little hastily said. Sure. Does he give a damn? No So, that being said, why should anybody else give a damn? I sure as hell don't.

If people have to leave because they can't deal with my opinion, that's a shame, but I'm going to call out narrow-minded hypocrisy when it intrudes on my sense of decency. I put up with a lot of narrow-mindedness without commenting on it until a sufficient amount has accumulated to warrant a strong pushback.

See, more classic bells at his best. He can call me a hypocrite. He can call me narrow minded. He can call me any derogatory name he wants. I don't care. I live a by a very simple philosophy in this life. If you don't pay my bills, put a roof over my head, food on my table, or clothes on my back, I don't have to give a damn what you think. It's really THAT simple, and it works marvelously for me. Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for supper.

I say "move along folks. There's nothing to see here."

You can always tell when to get out of my son's way. When he gets angry his eyes turn the bluest shade of blue you would ever see. Normally they are a basic blue/green.

From day one my daughter had eyes the color of storm clouds

Too lazy to click "play" ?

I guess no one else ever has had issues with a family member during the holidays or any other time.

Syntactically that implies you have - as well as I and, likely, most here, there and everywhere...

Time for a reprise:

Brrr...

it's getting kinda chilly here on the porch. guess i'll go back in and watch football

Go Hawks!! Wild Card lock!

 

[clnire]

Still in wheelchair or bed or couch. I am not sure if my name is Beck or Call?
But she is doing well, goes back in for xrays and such on the 13th and may get to start putting some weight on the leg.

I say again, you are a good man.

We had a restaurant near us in Houston named Fukim. True story! It was there for about 15 years. Had a giant sign on top facing the freeway. And we have a major road named Fuqua Rd. Pronounced few-kway. That's how everyone pronounces it now, but it's named after a biggity shotty way back when Houston was still dirt roads. I think it was pronounced few-kwah then. But this is Texas & that stuff don't work here. Ya hear?

When we lived in South Floruda, there was a Chinese (Oriental?) restaurant names Hung Wo. Every time I drove by I thought "is he?".

Bells,
being a long time lurker on this thread, it seems you do sometimes comment with a ROAR when a statement of an alternate viewpoint might work. I admit to being ignorant of the Islamic food customs until I just did a search. I hadn't realized the restrictions were similar to that of an observant Jew. Interesting. But, I don't think being unaware of that makes me a hypocrite. My husband's family rotates holidays and that seemed reasonable to me. Having friends who are observant Jews helps me to understand why that isn't quite so easily done in this situation. Add that to what I've learned while on this forum, along with vaping and governmental issues.

FWIW, I was raised Protestant, went to a Quaker college, nearly married a Jewish guy, my sister philosophically considers herself Jewish, my older brother is now a Roman Catholic, my younger was a Jehovah's Witness. While I was in college, my mom got her divinity degree and funny stories came from the seminary about priests, rabbis and ministers. From all of this, the family is a mash up and while we have disagreements, we respect each others beliefs. That carries over to how we regard other faiths, even atheists.

BTW - try roasting the squashes. They're even better. We do acorn and butternut squash with different spices and it's the only way spaghetti squash is tasty (cut in half, remove the seeds, coat with olive oil, salt & pepper, put cut side down on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast for 35-45 min. depending on the size at 425deg.)

Claxton Fruit Cakes are somewhat toxic.
I am waiting on a from scratch one. Simply scrumptious and properly steeped.

And I am stalking it.

 

[2legsshrt]

Dave (or Frank), please don't put words in my post I didn't type. As to your family issue(s), read your own posts; if you haven't edited 'em all by now.

You can post 'the last word' in that you've already insulted more folk than I ever could! <*poof*>

I did not put any words into your post. Here are your words, copied and pasted from your post:

Although Willie and many others may not have directly confronted/challenged you here, I would suggest that you're quite familiar with that family situation and haven't gotten over it. Your vulnerability is all too obvious to the porch majority; not that it matters to you. BUT, it does revel your self-staunch inflexibility and major lack of of any humor other than your own.

Do you still not acknowledge your own words and not acknowledge my request that you explain them? That lacks courage.

Of course I have! It was a rhetorical statement made for reasons that applied to the rest of my post. I've never met a soul who has not had issues with a family member at some time or another. And that naturally includes those in this Porch family.
