What is going on in this election is surreal!

The Women Lisbianration party has cause this over kill break down.

In all truth I don't know if it is healthy to heard those news breaks on the half hour.

The media upset over Abu Ghraib prison and so called various abuse but what about the abuse in America?

How can the normal Amreicans escape the verbal and visual abuse that has been going for months here in America 24 hours a day of the doom gloom propaganda!

If we dare thought about it to any length many stomach would turn and great depression would set in.

I say depression because the distortion and lying and out right saying black is white is beyond what the mind can take.

The hell with Abu Ghraib story, the abuse of the far left MEDIA and DEMOCRATIC PARTY is doing is far worst than any thing that has happen at Abu Ghraib prison!!!

I get to wondering at times if we are well along in the decline and eventual fall of America....We were never this divided before, except perhaps at the time of the War between the States.....

.....Westy.....

For what we have borne witness to over the last forty years is the triumph of mediocrity, the leveling tendency of democracy so feared by the Founders. As that prescient pickle-puss John Adams warned us two hundred years ago, “democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

The above was by David Massie..

.....Westy.....

Good Night Yall...I'm gone for the evening....

So, I go to the car wash for the very first time today. I have always washed, waxed and buffed my van by hand in the driveway.

But, today, I decide to try out this new technology of car washing. Okay, so I feed three dollars in quarters to the machine to vacuum out my van. Then I proceed to the car wash section.

Oh my, what a variety of choices. I choose 'pre soak' first and feed my quarter in to the machine. Well, after a dollar I was pre soaked, me and the van. Then I chose 'high pressure' wash. I put my quarter in and was instantly spun around by the nozzle I was holding in my hand like a puppet. I dropped the thing but it kept trying to whip me on the concrete. I ran. Then the owner came up and ask me if I had a problem. I told him yes. He advised me to hold it with both hands, as I am a little woman. I did, and got the van washed. Then I had to choose from a low pressure rinse or a high one. Guess which one I chose? Okay, now that I have it washed and rinsed, I was brave at looking at the other options. Oh my, I could get a turtle wax. So, I feed the machine some more quarters and did just that. But, then the overhead announcer told me that I should put some more quarters in for the soft rinse. I did.

All in all, it cost me almost ten dollars, a sore shoulder and my wounded pride. I think I'll stick to the driveway next time. LOL

Don't ya have the kind of car wash where you put your car on a track and it does all the washing for you?

[Mo1]

We were never this divided before, except perhaps at the time of the War between the States.....

Yes we were .. we survived and we'll survive again .. as long as we keep the new generation of liberals out of office

[grannie9]

Good morning all.

Don't wander too far Darks unless you have something to drink.;) Of course up there you may need some warmer clothes too. I'll have to buy you some..lol.

[grannie9]

I guess Pbase and FR are cranky today... FR was down earlier this morning.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
All hail the King of Drinks!

[grannie9]

Gee, I can't believe you saw it. It keeps going in and out all the time for me.

Pbase must be snapping it's cookie or something..

[Darksheare]

Depends sometimes on where I view it from.
Sometimes a Pbase image is visible on 'My Comments' page and not in thread.
Weird.

I just got an itinerary from Pat and Ernie, our friends in FL. They took a trip with their dog Alice and two of their friends in their RV to the Grand Canyon, etc. I thought it might be interesting for some of you to read so I'll post it. There is nothing personal so I'm sure she wouldn't care.

June 24... Home about 2pm. We stopped for lunch and were very glad to see our lawn looking so good, after all the sand and rocks we saw.

Reflections: This was a great educational vacation, to see how the rest of the South lives. I can't imagine how the early settlers ever got to California going over the desert, and thru the mountains. Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico are VERY dry, and we all suffered with Bloody noses, and the heat was unbearable. The Grand Canyon, lived up to it's majestic reputation. Sedona is charming, nestled in the red rocks...You can buy "dirt" T Shirts there, as well as artifacts, and wonderful Indian jewelry along the highway on the way there. San Antonio has a River Walk, right in the center of the city. It is an oasis, with shops, restaurants, and cruise boats..
