More old fart ruminations

Posted on 11/09/2025 4:59:58 AM PST by 2nd Amendment

Since everyone is narcissistic these days, I thought I'd post my 70 year old weird ideas. I don't use chatgpt-just an open Bible for my information I don't use any internet chat rooms (except this one!) I prefer talking over the fence to my neighbor I don't trust most politicians (especially those with slicked back hair! The only transpeople are know are in the trucking industry I think nose rings are to prevent rooting and tattoos are used for police identification For breakfast I like bacon and eggs not humus and tofu The only compensation a college athlete should get is tuition and 3 squares a day I don't like any automobile that you have to go to college to run I think welfare should consists of sacks of beans, flour, and corn. I think general Patton was a better general that general Milley I know I'm alone in this and I'm just ranting about a bygone era.

Yes, partially it’s the drugs.

I live adjacent to Appalachia, and I have seen the problems AppyPappy is talking about.

And I believe the poor whites in Appalachia have some things in common with the blacks in the inner cities:

1) They don’t value education.
2) They don’t value speaking the language properly.
3) They allow themselves to become addicted to drugs and alcohol.
4) They are prone to crime with get-rich-quick schemes.
5) They don’t value their appearance.
Feel free to add to the list.

YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE....

I HATE CELL PHONES -—AND PEOPLE WHO THINK PHONES ARE FOR PLAYING CANDY CRUSH !!!

I HATE PEOPLE WHO SAY YOU HAVE To HAVE GPS TO DRIVE OVER 10 MILES FROM HOME. PAPER MAPS & MEMORY WORK FINE FOR ME-———AND I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 1 MILLION MILES-—OVER 444,000 IN JUST ONE VEHICLE I HAD-1965 To 1981 or so. 250,000+++ IN MY 1 TON TRUCK.

CAN PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOUSE WITH AN 8’ STEP LADDER & A 4” BRUSH & A 2” BRUSH-—DID THAT... TOOK 3 DAYS OR SO.

I DO NOT NEED A VEHICLE WITH HEATED SEATS & HEATED STEERING WHEEL THAT TRIES TO TELL ME WHEN I MIGHT HAVE A LOW TIRE-—I HAVE MULTIPLE TIRE GAUGES & 2 EYES.

NEW CARS THAT HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT FENDER R/R’ed TO REPLACE A HEADLIGHT BULB ARE WORSE THAN A JOKE. I CAN REPLACE MINE IN UNDER 30 MINUTES WITH A BULB THAT COSTS ABOUT $8. AND I AM STILL FEMALE-——

I HATE PEOPLE TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT EAT-—HAVE MADE IT TO JUST SHORT OF 86 WITHOUT ALL THEIR BUTTING IN. WHOLE MILK & REAL BUTTER HAVE WORKED FINE. RED MEAT, & ICE CREAM & EGGS, ALSO.

NEVER HAD THE OLD FART’S FLU SHOTS

NEVER HAD THE COVID SHOTS

VACCINATIONS==SMALLPOX-MUMPS-MEASLES-TETANUS, ETC AS A KID-—ALL I EVER HAVE NEEDED.

HAVE TRAVELED A LOT OF THE USA IN A VEHICLE-—ONLY HAD A CB-—WHICH I USED 3 TIMES..IN THE MIDDLE OF N NEVADA DESERT....IN MY 1 TON 4 SPEED 1976 TRUCK.

ALSO A LOT OF MILES ON HORSEBACK —SOMETIMES A LONG WAY FROM A “ROAD”. LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WE HAVE.....CAN SEE IT ALOT BETTER AT ABOUT 7 MPH TROT.

THE CONSTANT INTERFERENCE FROM “OUR BETTERS” IS A TOTAL JOKE.

NOT SURE ANY OF THEM CAN SCRAMBLE AN EGG.

THEIR “EXPERTISE” IS UNWANTED & UNNEEDED...AND OFTEN WRONG.

There’s a mysterious button on the left side of my keyboard. I think it somehow makes my hat collection secure.

From my perch at 85 this is a nice start but only scratching the surface.

The only compensation a college athlete should get is tuition and 3 squares a day

My proposal is to have SEC and Big Ten spin off from NCAA and turn "pro".

... It’s the code of the hills.

Do you think the code would uphold the folks making their way and taking care of one another privately just fine, cash or checks, if the government handouts were eased out of reach?

People are too addicted to the free government money now. It would shock you how many people are getting scammed out of their benefits. Then they do have to rely on charity.
