We should stop thinking of the ban on birth control just some arbitrary rule. It is an act of supreme selfishness. Those who practice it wish to enjoy the pleasures of sex and deny life to the children who are the divine purpose of the act. It is this selfishness that makes it sinful, not some arbitrary rule.

Not the course of action I would have recommended. A Glock can be difficult for a 92-year-old to rack. Something like a Smith & Wesson M&P EZ, either in 9mm or .380, that would have been more like it. Just trying to be helpful here.

“...proceeding anyway because it is “possible”.

And probably because Fed Gov has been paying for it via grant money.

I understand he had plans to go to college. He wanted to be a dentist so he could help people.

What an unholy mess.

Or less. 😆

Good luck with the new (to you) corneae.

If a tooth unexpectedly starts growing out of your eye, you’ll know why. lol

God bless Sheriff Judd.

I used to live in Winter Haven a bazillion years ago, and I have family that still lives in Polk County. One of them has tangled with Judd, and thanks to Judd’s no nonsense, my relative has gotten back on track. Isn’t that what we used to call “tough love”?

I live in the Midwest now, because of job opportunities that my husband sought. I DO LOVE the change of seasons here, but I still consider myself a Southerner (and native Floridian) at heart. [See my tagline.]

Brain bucket.

Brain bucket.

Very true. If God does prevent woman on birth control to enter Heaven, holy cow! It’s going to be full of men.

If the skull is intact, the helmet did it's job.

Hope he had good insurance. Those mirrors on the F150s can get expensive to replace.

Also, never let anyone know what you’re worth if you can help it.

Your post reminded me of how irritated my dad’s oldest brother (IOW, my uncle) became upon learning that the widow of one of his younger brothers had willed her entire estate to her niece, having had no children of her own. It seems the brothers had some kind of pact among themselves about their estates. However, the younger brother passed first so his wife had full control of all the assets and the unwritten pact was of no concern to her. I should note that the irritated uncle was definitely not without personal assets so it was not as much about the money as it was feeling that the pact should have been honored by the widow.

But you don’t want to be the guy given the job of pulling the head out of the helmet.

I can well believe the actions of the nephew.

It’s seen too many cases of greed like that in families when it comes to inheritances and the old man’s actions are understandable, if that is the case. Not justifiable, but I get it.

That said, I’m not surprised that dementia is involved. That leaves open the possibility that the nephew is actually innocent.

What a complicated situation.

The Navy Hymn has a special place for every Navy in the English speaking world.

I still have a 78 rpm record in the attic from childhood in the 50’s with all the military hymns. Would play it over and over again, and The Navy Hymn was an especial favorite. We really enjoyed patriotism in those days and held the military in great respect.
