That odd rambling didn’t even make sense in regards to me, credit?

You are just angry and lashing out at people with gibberish.

My Great Grandmother, now passed, relayed an interesting story.

I had asked her, many years ago, what invention she thought the most important during her life.

She said, hands down, it was the electric starter on automobiles.

She had a job during the Depression and had to wake at 5 a.m. to go to work, but could not crank the car starter.

She said she hated having to wake her brother and have him come out to start the car.

She never weighed more than 100 lbs and lived to be 98.

Well, since you are such energetic seniors, don't expect life to be free and easy when you finally retire. We are busier now than we were when we worked. After 2 1/2 years, my husband just finished rehabbing our daughter's home allowing her to finally sell it for a profit. We have two more of our own properties to flip in the next few years. With our finances dwindling the way they are right now, I don't know what we are going to do with these old properties. One of the houses was built in 1850. Oh well, life is always changing. Good luck to you and your husband.

fought in WWII & Korea in the Marines.

What an honor to have that man for a father. His deeds should be remembered by his family and nation for generations.

and are, ergo, quite jealous of those that can.....

Surely you aren't jealous of that windbag Limbaugh???

Give yourself more credit.

Just because he says he was "born to host and you were born to listen"...
does not mean you are the talentless dirtbag it implies.

Part of Rush's "charm" (ie the stuff that gets him his ratings) is to say outrageous things just for effect. It's show biz. Therefore, anyone that takes every word Rush says as sincerity would have to not be too awfully bright.

While you are entitled to your opinion, you are outnumbered and in the minority here. Hence, Rush's outstanding popularity. Me? I think Rush can be a pompous, overblown windbag at times....but he is still one of the VERY FEW voices of conservative thought that we conservatives have left...so yes, I will defend him if necessary.

Exactly. Show biz.

It's unwise to take a radio actor too seriously.

I realize there are many who worship this radio actor.

Lots of otherwise good folks can be as gullible as little mentally-challenged children.
