Sometimes people like you who lead elite lifestyles lose touch with us guys busting their buts 20 hours a week. While you jet around the world with trophy chick's eating lingua and sipping champagne on yachts.

 

Btw. Ever had the shingles?  I am on the sidelines watching the night agent eating anti herpes pills and taking pain meds. 

😇😄😍

But I was willing to lose my job over my beliefs.  Not many can say that.

It's lengua (what ARE you, a Kano??), and I don't like champagne nor do I hang out on yachts.  I think you're getting confused here.  Small boats and vodka or bourbon.  Or just a beach and said drinks.  Mai Tais in a pinch.  

Don't think so, though I've had chicken pox twice, once as an adult, which they say is the same thing?  Not really sure, just know the doc called it chicken pox. Just stayed home til the signs went away.  This was in my mid twenties.  Nothing since.

Gen Milley — I will end drag queen story hour on Military Bases…

Lloyd Austin was not ready for Matt Gaetz

He "knew nothing about it", yet he's going to end it?

I don't think it serves much of a purpose, but what you said about it preventing politicians from using the info without our knowledge has a bit of truth to it.  Unfortunately, we never know if we are getting the actual truth or not; all we know for sure is that the media, all of which are owned by elites in our country with their own agendas, will tell us what those elites want us to know.

I don't trust that "news" from the media.  Look at the Las Vegas shooting.  All the food plants catching fire.  The recent spate of train wrecks.  We know of the events, but we will only know the details they want us to believe.

The reality is, for anyone who doesn't live under a rock, that guns are not the problem, nor is youth, nor is one particular sex (though most shootings ARE done by biological males).  The real issue is mental illness.  Nearly every mass murderer in history has had a few screws loose upstairs.  I mean, think about it... who even goes around planning to murder people they don't even know?

This one might end up being rather close to the truth, with signs of it already.

As have most of my posts here on VJ the past few years.  Yet some try to ignore the wisdom and veer towards the left ditch.  It is a sad thing to witness.

Never mention their name. Don't publish their manifesto. 

Agree 110%, but you gotta know that doesn't sell like the BS headlines they come up with.

What would you suggest?

While talking about it on here is going to help you get it off your chest, this isn't really action.

Let me ask you this... what will you do when this person murders one of your children in school?

Another mentally ill person easily obtains weapons and murders kids? At some point it's a bit overwhelming to talk about, the story is always the same, and the discussion turns non-productive. In our town we were made aware of a violent kid that has weapons and has brought them to school property, and has made threats off of school property. Kids are now too frightened to go to school, and the cops won't do anything. Some parents went and confronted the kid's father... it did not go well. My neighbor's kid tells me he knows that kid is going to snap one day.

So what are you doing about it?

The Nashville school shooting brings out the worst in our media

Kinda funny... I made a comment on a truck forum over a year ago about my departure from Commiefornia.

It was reported this morning, one admin removed it and gave me a warning, then reinstated my post because two other admins argued the complaint.  ahhh, the snowflake world in which we live today....  

Can I post the bodycam video of the event, or is that too unfriendly for VJ?

No one talking about the mentally ill woman (pretending to be a man) who shot up Nashville?  Does it go against certain narratives?

Shouldn't be a problem if you kill them Quickly.  Smash them with a fly swatter, fry them with a bug zapper, spray them with Raid, or my personal favorite from my childhood days...burn them to a crisp on a sunny day with a magnifying glass.

Or an insulated wire attached to an electric fence.  Works even on cloudy days.  I was always amazed at just how many ants traveled across barbed wire every hour.  A few thousand didn't make it thanks to me, but they never stopped trying.

Two weeks to flatten the curve?  

The only reason they are searching for him is because he's a republican.

And he "lived a lavish lifestyle" on the $276,000 he stole from MD residents?  I don't think lavish means what the MSM wants us to think it means.

It's no wonder dems feel so guilty over creating and trying to maintain slavery in this country.  They SHOULD be ashamed of their actions many years ago.

Have you tried chapulines? Apparently they are popular in Washington state now as snacks at the baseball games. 

It's always crazy when we get brood emergence in Maryland, because the dogs will gorge on them like it's candy and then they get a bad tummy from eating too much. Our ancestors certainly weren't opposed to eating insects, we've just forgotten about it. I'm not an organ meat person, but I'm pretty sure my grandparents ate that sort of thing during war time.

 

Well like any creature on this planet, insects deserve some amount of care and respect. Our ancestors understood they were good food sources too. If we don't solve the bee problem we're going to be in trouble...  and we have outbreaks and many non-native harmful insects that we're struggling to get rid of. Lanternflies are the big new ones. Beautiful and clever insects, but terribly bad. Unfortunately I don't think they are safe to eat either. 

Nope, never eaten fried grasshoppers, only live ones.  I'm sure they are good though, they sound delicious.

It got split from the induction stove thread, where you convinced me that that was the way. Ordering the craft ice maker separately too!

 

Do you mean Vantablack? https://www.surreynanosystems.com/about/vantablack

 

Walls went in first because there has been considerable work involving re-routing pipes beneath the earth floor. Getting walls up sooner allowed for the workers to keep at it instead of having them around idle. The floor had to be dug out to the tune of over 10 tons of dirt. We were the only unit of 4 not to have a finished room there. It adds over 200 sq ft to the property, which is great. Currently we are planning on it being a hobby room.

 

My contractor is amazing -- great communication, great work ethic, great finish. No complaints at all. He trained as an architect in Panama before he came here, and it shows. He's also very affordable. My broker introduced us -- he'd redone my broker's kitchen and bathrooms so I had a personal recommendation.

Ahh, gotcha.  I need to get on with my project of replacing a propane stove top with induction.  Been putting it off too long.

Makes sense on the floor now.  Since it's a basement, have ye considered a sand base with tiles over the top, as opposed to cement?  If cement is THE choice, make sure you have a good drain system.  Flooded basements are NO FUN.

Did you get the ice ball maker yet?  Those things are truly things of beauty.  I'm sure Alex will appreciate it.  I make several batches and store them, but beware, they shrink over time as the defrost cycle happens.  And takes about 30-36 hours to make 4.
