For some reason, I am unable to post this in general/chat...it keeps pulling up news/activism...so if that's where this is, I apologize...I guess FR is being silly today.
Is this thing working?
The pools are also now open
We’ve had a dodgy week of weather but it’s breaking bright and sunny now and throughout the 3-day weekend.
For me it will be:
1) Golf
2) Golf
3) Golf
Possibly a meal or two thrown in to keep me going.
PS - I used to be obsessed the Indianapolis 500 and always eagerly awaited Memorial Day weekend.
Tony George had one simple responsibility. In his case it was to maintain the prestige and traditions of the 500. Sadly and somewhat predictably this was not good enough for him and he proceeded to devalue his crown jewel at every opportunity. In little over a decade George has undone 80 years of history and hard work by his father and many others. The NASCAR ‘threat’ was always overstated considering the 500 was a once-a-year event and NASCAR is truly a week-to-week, seasonal sport.
In brief, I will DVR the 500 and may even watch it but it’s no longer unmissable live TV for me.
Thank you to all of you who protect us! God keep those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom!
Have a safe and blessed Memorial weekend
An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning till night (and sometimes later), she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot.
One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch.
Immediately, his wife began haranguing him again. Complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot.
At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.
This was so consistent, the minister wanted to ask the old farmer about it. So, after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer said, "Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement."
"And what about the men?" the minister asked.
"They wanted to know if the mule was for sale."
WOMEN CAN BE SO INSENSITIVE
Ralph returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live.
Given this prognosis, Ralph asks his wife for sex. Naturally, she
agrees, and they make love.
About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, ‘Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time?’
Of course, the wife agrees and they do it again.
Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes he now has only 8 hours left. He touches his wife’s shoulder and asks, ‘Honey, please... just one more time before I die ?’ she says, ‘Of course, dear.’ And they make love for the third time. After this session, the wife rolls over & falls asleep.
Ralph, however, worried about his impending death, tosses & turns until he’s down to 4 more hours.
He taps his wife, who rouses. ‘Honey, I have only 4 more hours. Do you think we could....?’
At this point the wife rolls over and says, ‘Listen Ralph, I have to get up in the morning... you don’t.
I got this in an email.
Only it isn’t seen as HUMOR, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE! If you feel the same, pass this on to your True American friends. Y’all know who they are...
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, ‘One nation, under God.’
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You’ve never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say ‘Christmas’ instead of ‘Winter Festival.’
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Vietnam vets with great respect, and always have.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You’ve never burned an American flag.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren’t afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You’d give your last dollar to a friend.
If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough TRUE AMERICAN in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.
AND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH.
Should you decide that you are not a TRUE AMERICAN, you have no desire to abide by these few principles; then please leave our country now!
God Bless the U S A! Amen’
She wanted to get away from et al.
