OH gosh yes - my son is really into classic rock much more so than current stuff. In fact his 18th birthday gift was two tickets to see them in August...

I don’t really understand what that means. Do we have nurses unions? No. Doesn’t everyone already have the right to work?

The drummer should be wearing something other than panties. He doesn’t have a muscle that I can see. I really checked. LOL!

TN like VA is a right to work state unlike WV which permits forced unionism.

She just looks so angry all the time, like it’s right under the surface, ready to go. So she drinks and he smokes? What a lovely couple.

I hated it when I first heard it, but now I love it. Thanks for thinking about us.

Forced unionism sounds very unAmerican to me. It sounds Obamian. Brrr, that was the chill that ran up my spine.

being a right to work state is a term of art. The reason i mention WV is because xshub and i were at the Homestead or the Greenbrier, whichever one is in WV, and the doorman could not pick up our bags and put them in the car, that job was reserved to one of the porters. literally who does what is categorized by job down to a tee, and in the union contract. it was mindboggling to me and it was the first time i could visually see the difference between the states in that regard.

when we first moved to PA we noticed the co my husband was working for didn’t have the co logo on their work trucks. To us that was just free advertising but we soon learned you didn’t want anyone realizing who you were if you happened to cross that Jersey State line..... they didn’t like non-union guys in their territory...

the concept has been around quite awhile, but that doesn’t make it less scary. the obamian goal would be to make all 57 [RoR] states forced unionism states.

non-union=scabs. i grew up hearing that word from my dad. he didn’t like ‘em either.
that’s weird though bc both NJ and PA are forced union states.

Some people during surgery (or even Billy Mays for that matter) have said they have looked down on themselves while unconscious. Some wake up, but apparently Billy did not.

I’m gonna go out in a while to stimulate the local economy. Rush the turtle is nearly out of food, CG is nearly out of cologne, the hummingbirds need a new feeder, and I just want something new & pretty.
