RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

Thanks a trillion— very good advice and well-stated. It really is important to me to be a better person. I get tired of being misjudged or if someone is mean, and I can’t see that I’ve done anything wrong…then (sometimes) I get defensive, and unkind back, but then, generally, wish I hadn’t. But, not ALWAYS…

RE: Guys! Guys! Guys!

Are you sure you want in? Howdy, Bud. Hope alls well..

RE: Guys! Guys! Guys!

Yes, thanks for being polite. You always are.

RE: Guys! Guys! Guys!

Oh stop it. You frequently tell people not to post! Honestly! I had started to re-think telling you a thing or two, but I’m solid with my statements. You are coming across as damaged or something! Have you had a medical check-up lately?

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

Its definitely a carnival around here at times…I have to say what a breath of fresh air you are right now…I’m having conflicting thoughts about what’s really fair when trying to get a point across to some folks. It’s like trying to use a waterbed mattress on a bed of nails…

RE: Guys! Guys! Guys!

You did write all those posts. Or is someone ghosting you? But ok, you’re off my mind. Good luck and take good care of that troublesome streak. I mean, you DID write those posts….Hmmmmm….you’re peculiar…

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

I’m afraid you’re right, and I admit I have ownership in letting my annoyance turn to anger and sometimes, defensive rhetoric. I just did it. But I’m willing to try harder, be a better person. Even a minute after being ticked off…Thanks for holiday wishes. Yeah, two wrongs never made a right.

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

We can make it cool and groovy again! We GOT this! Let’s do it. Have some fun, play nice, Happy Holidays. I’m in…

RE: Is the fall of the west is close?

Disclosure: The following is an observation of a significant number of articles and views and does not necessarily validate or invalidate my own personal experience or views.

Socially, obligationarily, athletically, and of leadership, the Western male has substantially weakened and deteriorated.

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

This is by far one of the very best posts of ALL (CS) time!

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

I appreciate your nice reply. Yeah, “the good old days…” But if you really want to talk, I’m up with that… you can scoot to my profile, choose “E-Mail him” and presto— a pen pal! I could try first, e-mail you…watch your mail.

RE: What makes you strong ?

Thanks . back atcha…

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

So right…and I’m guilty of doing this. Like, almost having a conversation with someone in the post…awhile back I responded to a member who was posting in a specific thread. I was saying, “ Oh hi! Long time no hear! Is your mother-in-law back from Idaho? How’d that go? That doctor who won’t fill your RX is a real pos! Find another! How’s the mama cat? We’re you able to find forever homes for the kittens.” Finally, I e-mailed. I do see this from time to time.

RE: What makes you strong ?

I think about this from time to time…and, my “story” is long, as are most. So, what has made me strong is a strong sense, desire, if you will, of just plain raw survival. And, later in life, it wasn’t just about childhood issues, or college, or career issues…it prominently became about medical survival, which trumps all. The other day a friend was asking me if I was upset or sad about some people that I had loved dearly who have “dropped” me…yup..I was dumped by people who I thought were loving friends. (It happens to everyone) No, I am not sad or upset. Tiny, tiny potatoes , comparatively.

RE: Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone [Official Video]

Elvis did a nice version, too

RE: What annoys you about the forums ..

Yes, that left me wondering a bit, too..

Thank you thank you thank you…

RE: Your average preferable driving speed is

oops, I’m incorrect. In rural areas of Oregon, one may drive 80 mph!!

RE: Your average preferable driving speed is

Oregon now has 65, and in a few places, 70. I think. Gonna research and get back…

Recipes can be tricky. One cannot always “substitute” successfully. Example, and I’ll stand by this until the hearse rolls up—when making Scottish Shortbread, you MUST use real butter. Freshly made is best. If you use synthetic, like oleo or margarine, the cookies or loaf will “bleed” ( watery). Also, you cannot use brown sugar if a recipe states white or “ regular”. The molasses in the brown sugar will leech too much moisture into the mixture. Leather Britches (highly seasoned fresh green beans dried until they are “leathery” then simmered in water and bacon for six-plus hours) cannot be made any other way than The Foxfire Books teach. They will not turn out right. Just saying….ok, there’s more….

RE: Your average preferable driving speed is

So, my car seems to “like” to glide along at 62 miles per hour. (U.S.A. Miles)

Perhaps as right as rain. Nothing that occurred even a micro-second ago matters NOW. It’s ancient history. So, work with what’s happening CURRENTLY. Prices, especially restaurant, are WAY TOO HIGH. Period. Just say NO!

RE: Your advice for others....?

Stop paying ridiculously high prices. Just say NO!

Sorry, for those who don’t know— Krogers is a grocery store. Those are the everyday consumer prices. Thx

I’ve written about this recently, but would still like to read other views. I’m (nearly) boycotting eating out, anywhere, ie, cafes, full service restaurants, food trucks, drive-ins/fast food. The prices are outrageous. A very, very small sandwich, advertised as “Artisan Incredible Reuben with salad” was actually very thin, on what looked like Melba toast— perhaps two teaspoons of krout, a sliver of corned beef, and if there was Swiss, it wasn’t enough to notice. The “salad was perhaps half of a romaine lettuce leaf and a crouton. Appallingly tiny meal for $19.00 PLUS tip. This is becoming the NORM…I want to point out something, and I “ get” the overhead argument…Here is the actual cost at a Kroger’s, for a chef salad with chicken.

Lettuce—- let’s say half a romaine———-$.70
Tomato—- one Roma or vine—————. $.60
Carrot—— one California Crisp————. $.35
Ripe olives—- five or six, sliced—————$.25
Green onions— half a bunch——————$.90
Radishes——— three or four——————$.25
Egg, hard-cooked———————————$.15
Swiss cheese, 1 Oz.——————————$.75
Chicken breast, small————————— $1.05
Dressing and croutons—————————$.90
TOTAL———————————————-$5.90

Actual cost, without tip————————$21.95

A four hundred percent write-up. Ludicrous. I’m not going to pay it. Your thoughts?

RE: No, we dont all have...

You awful little rascal! After I loved on ya, and everything. I’m telling….

…and you know what they say about guys with trucks…

RE: Is everyone on the forums housebound ?

Oh, he’s not such a bad egg…c’mon Mikey…you have such a winsome way, don’t be an old booger. Here, here’s a rohaan hug. Step in a little closer, Stud.

Closer…



Be sweet, Mikey. Getcha farther…catch more flies with honey than with vinegar…c’mon, cute stuff..

RE: No, we dont all have...

Its a good old Ford…(the upholstery still looks brand new!)

RE: No, we dont all have...

My beautiful car is 24 years old. Looks near- new, runs like a top…

RE: Is everyone on the forums housebound ?

Sometimes I visit friends a few miles from here. When I get back to my place, I don’t feel like it’s too much of a mess—(they are one pop can pull tab away from being mega-hoarders.).
