LOL ain't that much here. I do some but not ranting and raving and it is ignored by most anyway.

Ignored, but not unnoticed or embraced.

Here's what I have coming...

I had one of those many years ago when I was a gym nut and taught aerobics. Finally gave it away a few years ago....

He believes the WHO stuff from a year+ ago and that the FDA will save us from any adulterated liquids coz we just don't know what's in there, save the children etc.

Yea, my hubby is pretty much the same. A former smoker, quit cold turkey (man, 2 weeks of shear hell, then more weeks of just plain hell, then....). He could never understand why I could not do the same. I am NOT THE SAME!! I am ME!!! It came up in a conversation about upcoming regs. He says "I went to the government site and didn't see anything, nothing is happening. And if it is it's because it is for the better - safety, blah blah blah". He accused me of not knowing what I am talking about and questioned my sources!!! I just turned to him and said "This is exactly why I can't talk to you about anything anymore! You are always right and no one else even stands a chance." All this after 31 years of marriage. No communication and a certain underlying resentment. Part of my crappy day the other day.

I survive because I have wonderful friends who do support me, don't question my intelligence and actually think I am pretty smart. I do know our customers would much rather deal with me than him. Seeing customers here at a show in Greenville, SC, just reinforces it. I have had a GRAND!!! welcome! I didn't make it to this show last year because I got strep throat and the Dr. said I'm not going anywhere. More to the story, but you get the idea....

Gotta go feed the pupsters, they always love me...

Jup. You display a flag. You DON'T wear it!

Well, a case could be made, depending on the "display" you might have in mind ..

 

[Von Vape]

That'd certainly make me "stand up" for the ol' red, white & blue!

Obvee uslee dere' are accept shunz to every roole.

 

[Von Vape]

Just my opinion but as long as it's not actual flag material but a representation of Old Glory, it's generally in SUPPORT of the flag or a show of patriotism. Or a case of the flag "supporting" something else (see above)

Very interesting!

((((((((((((Cathy)))))))))) I'm so sorry darlin. That's rough.

Ok. Yer fired.

I rehired him!! Even our military wear a flag patch. I don't like a complete outfit of any kind being flag print. But have no issues with a Tshirt or something that has a flag on it as long it's completely respectful. I completely agree you do not wear an actual flag as clothing. even bugs me on a victory lap when some Olympic athletes (speed skaters come to mind) drape it over their shoulders like a shawl.

 

[garyoa1]

Yes, pic of a flag on anything iz kewl. Just that when the whole thing is a flag, irks me liver!

@Uncle Willie, I have always been meaning to get your take on this cat........


Personally, I luv him. The first time I saw him was on The Tonight Show during a Jay Walking segment. Jay was on the streets of Hollywood and Kid was just some joker walking by in a fur coat and red fedora. Jay asked, "Excuse me sir. (then kind of chuckled under his breath and said something about a pimp in a fur coat in the middle of the summer) Can I ask you some questions?" Kid said, "Sure." Jay asked, still giggling, "What's your name?" - "Kid!" - "Kid?" - "Ya, Kid!" - "Kid what?" - "Kid Rock and in about 5 years I'm gonna be famous and everybody's gonna know my name!" Jay laughed out loud at this point and then went on to ask him whatever it was. The joke was on Jay though. It was less than five years before everyone knew his name.

I think he's tremendously talented and thinks outside the box. Just curious what you thought, or anybody else for that matter.

I think you're pretty smart too .. .. and I'm smart enough to not weigh in, having gone thru 4 wives .. I will say this :: I wish I could quit all forms of nicotine intake, but I know, in my case, if all the nic somehow got transported magically to Planet Zod, including my "stash", I'd be one tank away from a pack of Marlboros .. you'll never see me in the camp of the Cig Haters, in fact, some time back, as I sat at a Video Poker machine at a Casino, I found myself unconsciously tilting my head/nose toward that Lady next to me with a smoke dangling off her lip ..

Point being, if a PV can get the Monkey Off Your Back, who's to argue with that .. ?? I still carry a Zippo, just in case ..

Popping a Fresh Pack against my palm to tamp it down, ritually removing the plastic band and folding back the hard pack flap, removing a fresh cig, placing it on my lips and flipping that Zippo, taking in a nice big puff .. exhale and sigh .. especially after a good meal and a cocktail .. or whatever ..

miss it .. ?? You bet .. Five + years is a long time off, but it's still not long enough .. in my case, anyway ..

Back in the late 1960's, when the film "Easy Rider" came out, I remember a great outcry over Peter Fonda having an American Flag sewn on the back of his jacket, as well as his chopper having a Flag motif .. today, I see flag related goods on about anything you can think of, I saw a young woman over the 4th of July weekend with one sewed on her pants derrière .. although it was a nice derrière .. .. I guess, as a Vet, I have mixed feelings about Societal adoption of the Flag as a fashion statement .. it's just one of those things, you really can't do much of anything about it .. I don't want to get into a row with anyone, although, the Flag Derrière could have been a nice talking point ..

United States Flag Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At any rate, Matt posting his Cat PIC yesterday made me almost want a cat, almost .. if I could find a cat that really looked already like a Lion, and then get the "Lion Cat Haircut", hmmmm .. no, .. however, it was a Great Meme Pic, so I will remember Matt's Cat digitally .. feel free to use these on your Various Social Media if you like .. I am working on one with a comb over, but I need a new cat pic for that ..

My general food routine is :: I'll take something out or go to an Eatery once or twice a week .. many times, I try and make something that I can "recycle" into something else for a few days, one of my favorites being Chili .. the first day, it's Chili, usually over a handful of Fritos with some cheese on top .. the next day, it's Chili with some sort of noodles or rice .. the third day it's maybe a Chili Omelette .. by the forth day, who knows if I can stand it at all .. .. I'll still likely eat it though, because I hate wasting food .. if all the food we waste could be put to good use, no one would go hungry ..

So, I was quite proud of myself yesterday for deciding to make Taco Salads .. I made two, the bowls shaped by one of those Kits you can get at the Grocer where the tortilla is draped over a cardboard form and then baked .. I don't really like to eat the bowl, although I will nibble on it some .. yes, those are my legs sticking out as I was sitting in the recliner getting ready to nosh .. there is just no real purpose for me to sit at my dining room table, although I have one .. Classic Homemade Margarita on the end table next to be within easy reach, 12 ounce tumbler size, thank you .. with 3 Queen Olives and a tiny splash of Olive Juice ..

For Mike and Janet .. you are Golden .. cheers ..

Totally agree on the flag issue.

Try chili on a baked potato with cheddar & sour cream & jalopeno's on top. Or crumble baked potato into scrambled eggs & top with chili, cheddar & salsa in a flour torilla for a great breakfast taco. You can sub chopped, cooked bacon for the chilli.
