OK. mini-rant.
Sick and tired of the stuff that is being thrown out about the president on FB, I posted about it. For those who don't follow me on FB, and do not think that Obama is "the b*st*rd son of a Muslim national who should be shot", feel free to read.
everyone else can skip, as I've put it all in a spoiler. :D
Many people will not like this, and I don’t care.

I even disagree with my parent’s opinion of the past 8 years. But we respect each other, and know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

If you don’t like mine and cannot stand me – unfriend me. I won’t be offended.

8 years of Obama

Obama did nothing to protect my right to stop smoking my way.

He did nothing to allow me to protect myself.

He Increased deficit spending.

That being said, you can check these sites for verification of the 80% of the things I think he did right.

there were no Mega Stores, although you could catch a few records at the Woolworths .. we had listening booths

Listening Booths ... OMG! ... I do remember them.

I will always remember her as ::

Although, in "The Force Awakens" as the General of the Resistance, she did not look too bad ..

Leave it to Beaver ... err ... I mean Willie to come up w/ this picture. Well Done!

Uncle Willie has me waxing nostalgic...back to a movie that didn't have a wide release. My date took me to see it at a little off campus art theater...

Gigot (1962) - IMDb

This had to be Jackie Gleason's greatest performance. Even if you weren't a fan of his, this is worth watching, and if you have a couple of free hours...it's available on youtube...;)



I guess I never realized what an incredibly talented man Gleason was. He wrote this story.....wrote the music and played the title role...;)

I have saved the YouTube link and will check it out later.

I have a few years on many here, if not most .. staying vital is as much mental as it is physical .. when the Reaper comes a knockin', I'll have plenty of time to rest .. until then, folks should find new things they enjoy ..

Give of yourself to others that are less fortunate / Paint a Picture / Learn to Play the Banjo (insert any instrument) / Make a New Friend / Learn to Knit / Embroider a Shirt / Do a Podcast / Become an Expert on Something / Mentor a Child / .. I could make a very long list ..

I live in constant pain, my mood swings are extreme, it would be so easy to just stop .. I've been to the point where I was ready, willing and able to just check out .. but when I creak out of the bed every morning, I find a purpose for the day .. that's why I still work six days a week ..

The main thing is, and I don't remember if Jack ever told it, is don't give up .. ever .. and get off the recliner .. ;)



I'll tell a short story ..

Some here may remember I've been a Woodworker for many, many years .. although I do have my Workshop, I also have a pretty good shop at the house .. one weekend, a couple years ago, I was fabricating some picture frames at home, one half of my garage being my home shop ..

A neighbor kid (a rarity to see out and about these days in my neck of the woods, anyway) I noticed was standing across the street and watching me .. it went on for maybe 10 minutes .. finally, I waved the kid over .. he was maybe 10 or 11 .. in my usual curmudgeoning way, I asked him what he was looking at .. and he said "I just wondered what you were doing" .. I said, I'm making something, would you like to help me ..?" So, I put him to work .. when I got done with my project, I said "Would you like to learn to make a birdhouse .. ??" .. of course, he did ..

When we got done, I sent him home with it .. I have rarely seen a child so overjoyed to show his Parents ..

It's the little things .. :)
Uncle Willie, you are an amazing man. Good seeing you again.

ah yes... the friend stealing the record collection... :(
mine wasn't a friend. Had some of my stuff in my dad's house in Ohio (I was in Tx). He decided to sell it. Was going to get a storage unit for stuff, til he got a place down here. The folks he sold it too said they'd never use the upstairs and he sold it to em real cheap. They said they appreciated the deal so he could leave the stuff there for a few months til he got settled and not pay storage costs. Neighbor told him a week or two after they moved in, they had a yard sale and sold it all. all his power tools, everything. :nah: Jup it was dumb to trust em I reckin but this was in 84 in a community where most folks were basically trustworthy. :(

You could be praying that you make it there !
JUP!

Must not be the only one as you don't see them advertising it anymore. ;)
Jup, that one seemed to be dang near as bad as ambien was for most folks. I've heard of a couple that took it with no issues.

Totally off topic. (.... fascinatin)

wish I could like that about a million times. Wondering if there is any way I can get the kids to watch it. I didn't raise my son like that, but I sure see his wife and him raising her daughter like that. He does try to interject some sense once in awhile, but it goes largely ignored.

Dayum, it's HOT! Bah Humbug!!
Hope it's hot this weekend too so the patriots will be sittin on the sidelines suckin oxygen during the game in Miami!! :D

Mornin scooter, and all

I watched a football game once. I remember it well. I was in High School and a buddy talked me into going. Hmmm, that was either 1970 or 1971.

like an audio Big Mac ..
True. Only has happened once. Doc put me on Lunesta for insomnia and I tripped over the TV stand and peed in the clothes hamper and NEVER woke up. Doree informed me of the actions after the fact. She said she was afraid to wake me because of all the myths about never waking a sleep walker. I told her in no uncertain terms to go ahead and risk it. No more to Lunesta for me. Must not be the only one as you don't see them advertising it anymore. ;)


Well, they have new ones to sell now, and besides, it obviously reached market saturation....

One great thing about multiquoting. I can get a lotta vape related things interspersed amongst my non vape related replies :D Jup, that was a gentle reminder :)
I didn't realize I was on the FP until you said something. I've been posting on the wrong porch since Monday night without realizing it. I had my usual one tab of ECF open, and thought it was the BP. Thanks for the gentle reminder slash wake-up call slash Jiffy Pop featherweight foil fry pan.
