I’m waiting on the fall and looking forward to it cause it’s a long, long, way down for the whole democrat mob.
In the redneck world I grew up in topics not up for discussion were my dog, wife, kids, truck, folks(covers all of them including cousins), how I pray, and how I voted. Not always in that order, basically all of those are number one, some more than others. I won’t talk about yours and you can leave mine alone.
How about both.
I grew up in the City of Detroit on the East Side in the ‘’60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s two blocks from Detroit City Airport on Gratiot Avenue. I witnessed the 1967 Riot, and in the time I spent there, it was the greatest experience in that I grew up Street Smart and Savvy. I wouldn’t trade that experience for any material good.
Melania. To the leftist, Marxists, genderists, feminazis, Jihadists, and climate wackos, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS WHEN ATTACKING SOMEONE THEY WANT TO DISCREDIT AND DESTROY.
Protect your son but fight back with dignity and intelligence. That is something they can’t protect themselves against. Let them be seen as the psychos and haters by sane people
Our very elegant First Lady is doing a marvelous job with their son Barron. The nasty, evil press has been kept away from Barron for the better part of his White House life. No easy task.
I hope you have used it well for legal and safe guidence for you and yours. We grew up and learned in or areas our lessons needed to get us to where we can live together to pass the info back and forth. Who we become and how we live needs to reach a point that we find kinship with our fellow man. Failure leads to war not much fun. Hopefully we haven’t been that dumbed down
She’s absolutely right but the left has no integrity.
Anyone who would support the murder of babies would not stop at destroying or trying to destroy the life of a young boy or girl.
“I had a normal childhood in the 50’s and 60’s.... I went fishing with a cane pole. Rode a Western Flyer bike. Wore out at least half a dozen B.B. guns and a couple of dogs.”
Same here. Had a best friend that was close enough (a couple of miles) that we could ride bikes to each others houses. Also had a couple of ponies to explore the country on. A regular routine was picking up bottles while riding our bikes and turning them in to the closest country store FOR LOTS OF CANDY. Back then you could get about 5 pieces of lots of different candy for a penny. No wonder I had so many cavities because none of this was adult supervised (LOL).
How were you at digging underground forts? Something no kid should miss out on - as well as all the other stuff you mentioned. Also riding bike many miles to school, walking home through a forest at night, snatching grapes from the neighbors wine grape orchards’ making forts and tunnels through a farmers hay bales and so on.
I find it hard to explain to my millennial son (born late in my life) what the U.S. used to be like. I grew up late 50s mostly 60s in rural America. Wonderful childhood with troubles as well. We lived in country with huge cow pasture behind our house on which at the fartherest edge was a gully with a creek flowing through it. I spent most summer days by that creek all alone watching beavers building dams. Got my share of leeches and quite a scare one day when climbing up the gully to go home a big cat was walking on the ridge above me. Pretty sure looking back, it was a bobcat, but in my mind it was a huge panther...lol. I hid behind a tree until it passed and ran home faster than ever before...lol...good memories. Also spent a lot of time perched up in trees reading books. I’m old now but still a tomboy...lol
I would be out of house all day and mom only worried if I wasn’t home by dark.
I typically spent a month or so each summer with my grandparents on their farm.
My fondest memory is blowing up tree stumps. Granddad took me along when he bought dynamite at a nearby farm supply/grocery store.
Yes. Times change.
“I feel sorry for Barron and a lot of kids today”
On the positive side, all of Trump’s children have grown up into fine adults.
