D-League

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Tuesday morning D-League.

The local weather today, 10/5/2021, We have 67° as we wait for the sun to rise. We will have partly cloudy skies and a high of 85° here on the coast. Inland should reach 87.

It is my g-grandfather's birthday. He was born in 1846 and would have been 175 years old today had he taken better care of himself. He only made it to 83. This is a good example of the size and shape of the old folks. Not a bit of fat on any of them. G-grandpa is holding a 1859 Sharps Carbine. I would love to have that today.

Morning Legionnaires!

Currently 54° with a high of 84° expected. Will get back in to the mid 90's by the weekend. Need me some cooler weather.

I feel your pain Austin, my new puppy 6 1/2 months old may have hip dysplasia already. She pops a lot when she walks and sometimes the hips give out when she runs. I will know on Thursday as she will be spayed and X-rayed then to find out. She is already right at 70lbs at 6 1/2 months and is going to be big. Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees mix.

No you are correct about that. I believe. All one has to do is get out old family photos and look at the difference in size and shapes. Both men and women. It is hard to find a large woman in those photos and curves were plentiful. Look at a class picture today and you might find 3 girls out of 10 that have the shape and form of someone of two or three generations ago. The old folks covered up more than they do today and had a little more modesty but they were nice looking women.

And the size of men today is a whole 'nother subject. They are big boys waking the steets.

I wonder if that (the shape of women) is why Victoria Secret is struggling and I read where they were going to go out of business. I was reading an article the other day about 150 businesses/products that were in danger of going under. Chevy Volt is another as well as Campbells soup. Our ladies (and men) are not in the same physical conditions we used to be at a young age now. I was 5' 7 3/4" 145lbs when I joined the Army in August 76 and I did not look happy about it.

Is Victoria Secret that outfit that is going to use "trans" as models or did I just dream that up. I remember when the Victoria Secret models were among the best in the world. When you go WOKE you go BROKE.

It seems the older generations maintained their weight during their adult life and many could still wear their army uniforms 50 years after putting it in moth balls. My coal mining grandpa from the Kentucky hills was only 5'6" and weighed 130 lbs all of his adult life. Never more than a pound or two off of the 130. He had a 28" waist and arms like popeye. One punch and he would knock you cold. You get some strength in those arms loading coal for 40 years.

Good morning! Only managed about 3 hours of snooze last night. It happens from time to time but I know I'll get a solid 8 to 10 hours tonight.

Don't have a tee time for this morning but I'm heading to the course before long to drink coffee and talk about football until someone comes along that I want to play with. Meh, it's sort of a plan if you think about it.

If someone has written a word about the Florida game that I haven't read, that means they didn't publish it. Beat LSU and our name will be in everyone's mouth.

Have a good day! See ya this afternoon.

 

[BBUK]

That is why i do not grill sirloin steaks. Too lean for a grill. I like a steak bloody rare. I prefer it bleed when I cut into it.

Now pork and chicken are different to me. I do not want to see blood on either one.

Sir,
You know you like the blooming bloody gizzards..

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Sir,

Like gizzards, no I love gizzards. But we chicken fry them and they are done.

Howdy D-League. Heading back into the Smokies as our week of vacation rolls along. We took a side trip to Dollywood yesterday. Lots of good stuff to see. If you like Bluegrass music, which I do, there was plenty of talented pickers to enjoy.

I've always been a fan of Dolly and still am. But she certainly has a healthy self-image. You couldn't walk five feet without seeing a t-shirt or coffee mug with her face on it for sale, or a little sign along the walkway quoting one of her observations about the best way to live your life. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. You'd have to have a hell of a strong ego to succeed the way she has.

Back into the mountains today. God was surely showing off when he made the Smokies.

A girl I dated many many years ago (80s) used to look at the fashion mags a lot. She stopped that as we dated as she realized her self-image was being damaged by it. She was nearly rail thin and kinda unhealthy immune wise, when I first met her and slowly gained some muscle and appropriate body fat that helped her a lot with various ailments. She was so beautiful after that, and shapely. Looked a little like the blonde in Just Go With It.

When we first met, VS stuff fit her just fine. By the time we had been together 2 years, no way. Returned more than she had in her closet trying to find clothes that fit her. The fashion industry and VS ruined so many women. It started in the 60s with the way they trained illustrators and designers and slowly the designers forgot that real people don't look like the illustrations. The girls reading the mags and wanting the clothes desperately wanted to fit into them, so they starved (or otherwise) themselves to do so.

When my girlfriend moved back home around her mom for a while, she went back to her old form and health and we lost touch. I haven't dated a super-skinny girl since. It was tough as her being malnourished for a good number of years affected her cognitively and emotionally as well.

Yep. It's a strange world now. The guys are either big boys or stunted completely. Driving through UK on a week day by the hospital, almost all of the kids I saw looked like they were in middle school. The ones that looked like fully developed adults were few but not far between, as they seemed to be grouped together. Not a lot of shape unless the person is overweight...

I think the super skinny craze came when "Twiggy" came over from England. She didn't have enough meat on her bones to feed a huingry dog. Just flesh over bones. But fashion pushed her "figure" and girls fell in line. Some starved their poor souls to death.

I grew up before Twiggy came and the girls were not skinny and not fat. They were healthy but had a form and a figure. Only a handful were over weight and I don't think they were obese. The factor I think that separates today's women from the past is inactivity. Computers and TV have made zombies of many Americans. It has replaced the work and play of past generations. The most beautiful and shapely girls I recall growing up were the girls raised on a farm. America was mostly rural when I was born.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

This is not my mother's hospital bill but it is the year i was born and I am amazed as to how much medical care has increased. Mama told me I was the first in her family to be born in a hospital and the cost was less than $25.00. That is the cost of Tylenol in a hospital today.

When i was married the state I was in, North Carolina required a complete physical including lab work to check for syphilis. The total cost was $6.00.

Agreed.

Hottest girls I ever dated were country girls. Least crazy, too. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldve definitely steered that way first and foremost.

But that was when docs were part of the community, not money chasers wanting the big house on the hill in a gated community. They force em that way now with the ridiculous cost of schooling

 

[awf]

She's damn good but she looks a lot younger than 22.

Hell UK82......women 40 and under look young to me.......

My son was born before I had health insurance. I borrowed the money from Dad. It was $268 in 1967. It took me over a year to pay the boy off. But by 5 years later my daughter was born and it was several thousand.

It is a cool and cloudy 66.7°F. We are supposed to top out at 80°. 70% chance of rain. This has been a good year for crops around here. The farmers sure as hell are not complaining about global warming.

I am still juiced about the Cats win. I plan on watching the game again tonight.

The fair still has over 600 artists so I'm assuming it's doing well but what do I know. Not sure what the attendance was but since it was cancelled last year I'd guess quite high.

My daughter has a business where she re-purposes old furniture and paints signs.......she travels around to these shows and sells her stuff......they had a show at the Horse Park a few weeks ago.......she sold 15K of her products.....I haven't had a report on the last two shows but she said she done pretty good at them also......people are spending their money at the shows she goes to........this season she started out in San Antonio, Texas and goes somewhere just about every weekend........she has a shop and the whole fam damily pitches in.....she painted 4,000 signs to get ready for the weekend fair season.........

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Trying to understand the football rankings is impossible. The Big Ten bias is simply outstanding. 5 teams in the top 11 and of those 5 Ohio State has a loss to Oregon and is ranked higher. Go figure?

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

Hello D league!

Heading into work shortly. Retirement sounds nice.....haha

Wife is taking cat to the vet. Acting very lethargic. Barely eating. He does drink water though. Quick Google search says its feline diabetes. Which is treatable. Hopefully it's nothing life threatening.


Carry on and behave d league!

God bless!

If I had a dog I would go with wheat germ... Last dog I had ran away though, I wonder why...

My favorite Dolly quip. Dolly liked to wear tight clothes as a teenager. She said her mother used to tell her, "Dolly, you can't put ten pounds of taters in a five-pound sack."

I was born in a mining camp shack. That mining camp has been long gone for many years. I would like to know if a doctor or midwife was present but it is way too late to learn that.

I was born at home and had a doctor.

I was born a poor Black Child...

In the slums of Detroit...

 

[*CatinIL*]

I miss the earlier episodes but it got so political and lefy message-y late in the series that I was ready for it to go. Haven't watched it since, actually, unless it's the episodes or clips from them with Henry Blake.

I agree...Wayne Rogers was much better than Mike Farrell.

Or two pigs rasslin' in a tent.

Wow. How did I forget about him? He WAS! I remember being so sad when he left the show. Mist have blocked it out. After that it was almost all Alan Alda's show and he was not my favorite, and especially too overpowering once Roger's left.

I'll see your link and raise you one!

But do you have a story! Have you ever written anyone a check for $1.09?

Or two pigs rasslin' in a tent.

I told several people over the years who disagreed with my verdict on their substandard work, "you might as well be rasslin with a pig in the mud, because sooner or later you're gonna realize the pig likes it".

Oh lordy pick a bale of hay

pick a bale a day

If I had to pick a bale of hay, I don't know what I'd do. Probably take the alfalfa though.

I love the saying and advice our grandparents gave us. My grandpa said to me "Johnny don't mess with an old man and make him mad.....he will kill you. What has he got to lose"

I listened to grandpa. That was one way of dying I struck from my list. If you see an old man with this on his Wrangler jeans, just walk on by

And it wasn’t just a saying, they meant it. I know, I’ve seen it happen. Don’t mess with what few old tough guys are left. They ARE tougher, and will prove it very quickly. Different breed than today’s “tough guys”.

Man, that was a good nap. Oh, Hi There! Now onto my Dry Riesling & salmon.
