Is that Joe? Sure looks like how he would do it.
If so, probably bought it with some Chinese money.

My feelings exactly.Look, I may not be as old as some of you old dudes, dudes like Bert. But I'm old enough to know we used to celebrate and look forward to Thanksgiving. Doesn't matter what your personal feelings about what the actual holiday represents. It's just a time to get together and celebrate SOMETHING!
I had no idea who my ancestors were when I used to hold Thanksgiving in high regard. Now that I know where I come from it means even more.
Let's do Thanksgiving and then concentrate on Christmas.
Growing up I always considered Thanksgiving to be a precursor to Christmas and the gifts I would give would be food instead of erroneous crap.
I remember my mother being upset that she couldn't give my class the strawberry jelly she had made for them. The rules were the food had to be store bought. Thanksgivingly, her son realized he could give it to friends, they were able to give it to their friends as well.
A good time was had by all.
Now let's do Thanksgiving up right!
It is nice to read about the big Thanksgiving dinners. Never had what you would call a big one unless you count 6 kids 2 adults from one family. Everybody else just did their own thing when it came to extended families (cousins, aunts, and uncles). I did have a bigger one once in April of 91. Came back from the Gulf April 7th and took leave. I called my mother just about a week before and told her I was coming home and that during the holiday season while deployed in Saudi although we did have Turkey and Ham Thanksgiving and Christmas I did not get to eat any. Being an NCO's, my colleagues and I made sure the soldiers ate first so, by the time we got to it there was none left. So she said she would do one up for me and invite as many people as possible. Siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins came to that one. Was nice. Only one uncomfortable point of it was the girl that I was dating when I went to the Gulf wrote me a dear John letter 2 weeks before we left Saudi saying she could not take the distance anymore and was seeing someone else. Still being a close friend to my mother (living next door) she was invited and she brought her new beau with her. We were introduced and when we shook hands he wanted to let me know he was the man now and put the squeeze on. That did not bode well for him since my hands were bigger and somewhat stronger. The look on his face after I returned the squeeze made it all better. We did not conversate after that.
6 months down the line he cheated on her and she called and ask If we could get back together. Lol. Nope.
Oh yeah, it worked out for me anyway. My wife now and I have been married over 21 years.Good morning, D-L!
The niffle officials finally got brazen enough to steer a game in front of the largest viewing audience of the season so far. Now everybody is realizing how corrupt they are. More bad calls or missed calls in one weekend this weekend in sports than I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Major work going on here, no power, so it's taken 3 hours to post this. Lol.
Hope y'all have a great day
You find out about people, and it bites, but it bites less than it would have miles down the road. Glad you got to spend that time with family, though. That had to be special
Bravo. Good for you. Any man worth his salt would do the same thing. A woman who dumps a soldier when he was overseas, especially in a combat zone, is not worth a plug nickel. Don't make a commitment to a soldier if you do not have the integrity to keep it.6 months down the line he cheated on her and she called and ask If we could get back together. Lol. Nope.
Any chance Jones will get involved in the senate race against Rand Paul? I know his dream is to be a politician and he would love to get to Washington DC. Maybe Matt could even write another hit book like the one he did about Mitch.Good morning! Sitting here listening to the Jones show. Nope, I have nothing else to do at the moment.
Jones is predicting we are going to lose. I'm not. I am concerned that K will get every call he can get this year because it's his last. I'm not going to listen to the game because I don't want to hear about him. Might just listen to the radio because they will be showing K highlights during the entire game.
I went ahead and mowed the grass yesterday. Hopefully that's the last time I mow the front this year but I'll mow the back a couple more times to mulch the leaves.
Have a good day!

Some women are stone cold evil. Before I entered the military I was friends with a young man whose brother was fighting in Vietnam. His "fiancee" back home sent him a Dear John letter and she would not marry him when he returned in 3 weeks. She found another man she loved more. Two weeks later he was KIA. When word got back home, she made some comment to one of her friends that his death solved a lot of issues for her. She acted like it was a good thing for her future. This comment got back to the family and that ended a friendship between the two families. My friend thought his brother probably died on purpose or made a terrible mistake because his mind was on his girl back home dumping him. Who knows but this happens many time to soldier boy
Some good advice here and examples of why men should not EVER put a woman on a "pedestal" in any way.Bravo. Good for you. Any man worth his salt would do the same thing.

Plus, Rand Paul is the smartest of all 100 U.S. Senators.Who's going to vote for him? Most UK fans are Republican and the rest of them prolly like the Cards and therefore hate Matt Jones. I think the reality of it all is the reason he didn't run.

You have to leave them guessing to some degree. Most women are on the lookout for a better deal or what they perceive to be a man of higher quality and it's in their nature to branch swing; meaning that they often times won't leave one relationship unless they have another man to go to. In many cases there is already another guy in the background that she is seeing. In most all cases, if the woman is the one to initiate the breakup......then she already has another guy to replace you. Yeah, it's cold-blooded, but this is the nature of many, many women out there and being a "nice guy" is often the victim.
Yeah, that's awesome if you get a good one. I'm just speaking in general, worldly terms. I don't have anyone specific in mind.Not all woman are created equal. I had my share of misery too. I can tell you many many woman can be put on a pedestal and cherished.
I do agree woman can be some cold-hearted killers but not all and EVER is a long long time.
My wife of 55 years is on a pedestal. She belongs there for having loved me for 55 years.Not all woman are created equal. I had my share of misery too. I can tell you many many woman can be put on a pedestal and cherished.

When we married I had less than $100 in the bank, an old Chevy that I had payments on, and nothing else. So I was less than zero.
We made it and she is still here.
I loves me some shrimp........my friend makes the very best coconut creme sauce to dip coconut fried shrimp in..........also.......my cousin runs a shrimp processing plant over in LA....Bayou Shrimp Processing....this sure is a beautiful picture...........
Good for you and your darling BBUK. God must have put you together and God does not make mistakes. Some of us are very fortunate because I have a wife much like you . God is center in her life.Not all woman are created equal. I had my share of misery too. I can tell you many many woman can be put on a pedestal and cherished.

I would cherish the opportunity to cast a vote for Rand Paul for President of the United States as his party's nominee. I think he is the smartest man in Washington DC and the has the most integrity. He is the one with the answers as to how to Make America Great Again.Plus, Rand Paul is the smartest of all 100 U.S. Senators.
I will bet you that Rand Paul knows more about sports than Jones.
On August 8, 2010, Rand, Sherry, an old man from Rand’s family and me, along with the commercial director, had about 4 hours to kill between filming commercials for Rand’s first run at the Senate. All of that down time was spent talking about everything from politics to sports. Rand just regurgitates facts and trivia. I have met a bunch of smart folks in my life, but I don't know if I have met a smarter man and it is not just about medicine and politics but many, many subjects. Plus, Rand will keep you on your toes as he never forgets anything that is said. He truly engages you. Don’t believe me just ask Dr. Fauci. Rand can decimate the dude and most others if he so chooses.
The first speech he gave after announcing his Senate run, he got upon the stage at Western Kentucky University and introduced his positions. He had no notes just a microphone. After about 30 minutes he sat down on the edge of the stage and took questions from anyone that wanted to ask. He never covered the same subject twice unless ask to do so. The man is one of a kind and it is good that he fell in love with a Kentucky girl or we would not have him in my state.
Folks I am high on Rand Paul, and he has my vote for whatever office he runs for. Plus, I know his sweet wife. She is a good Kentucky farm girl who is equally smart.
Good for you and your darling BBUK. God must have put you together and God does not make mistakes. Some of us are very fortunate because I have a wife much like you . God is center in her life.
When I was a Drill Sgt in Basic Training I found out fickle many girls were when their man went off to war. I would image 35% in my company broke up with a girl friend after about 6 weeks. Of course I am talking about trainees who were 18, 19, 20 or 21 years old. By AIT it may have been 90% of the unmarried and a large number of married. The girl friend back home was not mature enough to begin with but it still stung the poor recruits.

I owned and loved Nissan 300ZXs. Had to give them up for this reason exactly.

Of course we are not going to "categorize" all women into one basket. In m comments I only had thoughts of the poor soldiers who got the word while serving their country.Yes Sir,
I am fully aware. Not in War times but I have seen the snakes called women. Also seen a bunch of skank type men too. (I saw the men more as I lived with them.) My only observation was categorizing any group into the "all" category.
Only certain things scare me. Losing my wife and my family are first and foremost and using absolute words when it comes to people and categorizing "all" into anything. Very few circumstances dictate using that type of word.
Also, I know brother poster Kai did not mean it like that. It was more for me than him. (I like to get my reasoning visualized at times to keep me honest.)
I read a statistic recently that said that only 3% of cheaters end up marrying the person they cheated with.
I had one exactly like this but a silver platinum color. I gave it to my son when he graduated from high school.I owned and loved Nissan 300ZXs. Had to give them up for this reason exactly.

That was my favorite car at one time Sir. (Never owned one but sure wanted to.) A sharp, sharp car... Still is... (Not sure I could imagine a better color than the one you also posted.) That baby rocks! (Even at my age now, I'd suffer and corkscrew my way into that baby and love it.)

Had a lady that worked for me for a number of years. She followed me (I recruited her and she came) from when I was a Regional Mgr for one company...to a company that I ran. Over the years she went from a loving, doting wife to one who was having an affair. Her affair was with my CFO who was married as well.I read a statistic recently that said that only 3% of cheaters end up marrying the person they cheated with.
(Thought I would highlight like Sawnee)6 months down the line he cheated on her and she called and ask If we could get back together. Lol. Nope.
Ha. I gave my daughter a maroon one like this that I paid a couple of hundred dollars for and fixed it up. I have bought all my daughters and granddaughters their first car (used of course). I always give my hand-me-down cars to one of the kids.

I pulled her into my office one day (as a friend and not a boss...probably couldn't do this today) and had a talk with her about this very thing. Made the point...if you're cheating on your husband...and he's cheating on his wife...what will you think when/if you two get married? One of you, or both, at some time will have all that in the back of your mind. Can't lead to marital bliss.
Never fooled around while/when I was married, although could have if I wanted to (thinking of 2-3 younger women back then). Always thought three things (and I'm no saint)...I couldn't look my wife in the face/eyes....couldn't look at myself in the mirror...but, mostly, couldn't look at my 3 young kids.If I was to hurt that angel I married it would take me another 30 years before I could do it.
Yeah, it pissed me off when it happened to my soldiers but me, I just chalked it up to me dodging a bullet (little war time humor there).Bravo. Good for you.
