Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

B-rats: Served by the Navy…..not for everyday use….gets old very quickly..

C-rats: IF you can heat them up…not back at all…except the "Ham & Mo-fos" ( think Ham, Lima Beans, and lard)

MREs: early ones with the "Beef-rocks" NASTY…..the Beef Stew ones made dang good frisbees, though…

Later versions? Had a few….they even had their own heaters…just add a bit of water. The Omelet was bad at all…

Beats A-rats….Spam, Powdered (green) eggs (scrambled) and whatever the mess stewards could add in….

Survey: 55% Of FDNY Members Don't Want To Take COVID-19 Vaccine

Will you?

Maybe they should check their own fire association stats. I'm on the notification list watching for propane events to show the chity how stupid and deadly ignoring propane code can be. Most of the fire fighters who have died this year have had heart attacks or covirus.

If I know dogs at all, Dire Wolf will eat the ribs, then the hot-pockets, then anything else you give him, and worry about the consequences at a later time. If those get bad enough, maybe add in some grass, then he will just puke up the worst, and eat it again.

I do not have the expertise with a "smoker". To be a meister one must be good at what he does. As for getting a ride home from the food truck- look at what someone did to it last night…

The United States Army beef scandal was an American political scandal caused by the widespread distribution of extremely low-quality, heavily adulterated beef products to U.S Army soldiers fighting in the Spanish-American War. General Nelson Miles called the adulterated meat "embalmed beef", and the scandal also became alternatively known as the Embalmed Beef scandal.

My brother drove truck for a guy that had Forest Service contracts to deliver equipment and provide food at fire camps. He told me the delivery prices were extremely high. He would salvage out of date food from grocery stores and pull any other disgusting fraudulent act he could dream up. One day the cook at the camp told LB No more black bananas! He went on and on for about 5 or 10 minutes about black bananas.

The fire in that pickup is probably from the tank being out of position. There used to be a video on Youtube showing a tank laying on its side in the sun. It exploded because the pressure relief valve will not work when they are laying down.

Recently learning stupidity is a willful, conscious decision motivated by greed, narcissism, tribal instincts…………… nothing can be done to fix it unless the stupid people admit fact applies and takes precedence over their petty grievances. I sent city council a comment saying I apologize for not researching stupidity and moving out of town years ago.

Before looking into whether a banana is safe to eat or not, it is important to have a basic understanding of how and why bananas go rotten. great article on bananas…

Thoughts on propane vehicles…
