  1. Sorry to hear that Greg, my BIL had it near an eye and it gave him fits. I think a very large dose of Gentleman Jack taken with just a smidge of 7up and you will be on your way!! LOL I just had to add some humor to this. Praying you get better sir.
  2. He was a tough old bird. Yes sir that whole generation were tough birds. My wife's uncle is 94 and was in the Navy in South Pacific. Lost a good friend about 2 years ago that was a survivor of the Bataan death march. We only have a handful of these WWII vets left. If you know one, go out of your way to stop in and see him or her and thank them.
  3. You know that this isn't the same world we grew up in. From about the 2nd grade on I carried a pocket knife or knives to school each day and I don't recall stabbing or cutting 1 single person. About 13 years ago I was working in the oilfield and my boss had sent these 2 fairly new guys out to install a chemical tank and we used a poly tubing that is easily cut with even a dull knife. Well it took them much longer than it should have and when the truth came out, neither had a knife on them. I told my boss each new hire or better an applicant needed to be asked to show a knife. That way you can cull out the knotheads!!
  4. Greg surely that's not that junky old boat I sold you is it?? I too love Youtube, it has saved me many headaches and $$$$$.
  5. How true Doug, it will only take a generation that doesn't teach the next generation to honor our vet's for this day to be a forgotten day. of just a good day for some store to have a so-called sale!! That is one reason that General Eisenhower made sure that many movies and pictures were taken of WWII Holocaust victims and the prisons because he said "One day they will say it never happened". I think that day has come.
  6. Yep people assume that they will be right back in an hour or so, but you never know. Just the other day a good friend of mine who I thought was smart had a flat tire coming back from church one night and didn't have a flashlight. When he told me I asked if he had one in his car now and he said yes. I probably have 2 or 3 in most of my vehicles and have a streamlight in my pocket. When I first started carrying a streamlight I couldn't believe how handy it was on almost a daily basis. You never know when today will be the day you need what you have in your pockets.
  7. Well at least it would keep you occupied for sure. Thanks for taking your time and doing this!!
  8. Ok Greg, my daughter who is a bible scholar said yes because we were all made in His image, but medically not needed because Adam was made from dust. We are awaiting the Dr's answer.
  9. Greg I will have to ask my SIL who is a Baptist preacher with a doctorate in theology and get back to you whenever I get an answer. My Daughter and family went last year and really liked it.
  10. Hey John sorry to be so long in thanking you for putting on a great class. To all who want to know about wild edibles, John is the man. However I did learn 1 valuable thing. You do know that vegetarian is an old Indian word for "poor hunter". I learned to find some wild carrots and sit there waiting for a wascally wabit to appear and shoot and eat him!! LOL I am afraid I would starve to death waiting to find something to eat. But all jokes aside go to one of John's classes if nothing else meeting a really good man.
  11. Just watched it Greg, thought it was a pretty good movie.
  12. Prayers for her and your family.
  13. Our infrastructure was mostly built to last 50 years ago and much of that is 75 years old or older. Thanks to the U.S. being so generous with our tax dollars giving to every country on the planet instead of keeping up with our infrastructure. Not to mention the thanks we get for giving billions of dollars to say Honduras, Argentina, Columbia, Guatemala, Mexico.
  14. He would take his birth certificate, but it is inscribed on a huge rock, because he was born in the stone age. LOL I couldn't resist Doug!!
  15. Chuck that would be a reason not to come, clipping your toenails. LOL I asked a few retired, bachelor neighbors about going fishing and I swear one of them told me Saturday was his wash day. Now I am not a slob, but really you are retired, live by yourself and you can't wait a few days to do the washing. I am scratching those 2 for asking about fishing. If I didn't know them better I would say they didn't like me.
  16. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are. Never, ever let a chance to make fun of Yankee's go untouched. LOL Current transplants not included, if you behave. LOL
  17. Hey John with the way this weather is going, we may be in prime Morel mushroom hunting weather. If you know of good place to look for them that would be a bonus. Can't wait to go to this class, all of the previous classes I had other comittments.
  18. Young people will see this and go Huh?? It only fits older model DeLorean's
  19. When our kids were younger and wanted something more than we had the money for they would tell mom "just write a check". That is our standard reply if we don't have the money for some big ticket item. Thanks Greg, now I will have to buy a lottery ticket in order to just write a check. LOL
  20. Sue the fork and spoon manufacturers over all the obese people that got that way because of their forks and spoons!! It makes the same amount of sense. It is never the person that uses the weapon, but it is always the weapon If it is a gun, if it is a 6,000 lb. pickup truck then there is no foul. I hate to tell them, the little idiot Adam Lanza stole the gun from his mother, so how does Bushmaster become the bad guy?? Put the blame on the murderer not the murder weapon. It is just an inanimate object.
  21. Yes and all private property has about $3,000 worth of posted Keep Out signs. LOL!!
  22. Hey Doug, I think that was a Smith & Wesson quote. LOL Sorry guys I couldn't resist!!!
  23. If you moved from Smellanoy it doesn't matter much does it?? Just avoid the large cities, depending on what you are looking for, get on Land and Farm or Landwatch and plug in what you are looking for, raw land, horse ranch or whatever. But I will tell you, you will forget all about Smellanoy very quickly!! PM me for more info. Mac
  24. Put me in rain or shine. Just PM me directions etc. Thanks Mac
  25. Last Wednesday paid $1.83 came back from trip to FL. on Sunday it was $2.03 same station in Algood. Could be worse, what ya gonna do if it was $4.03?? You have 2 basic choices buy it or ride a bike. We have little to no control over what they want to charge us.
