Here's a shade Jan made when Trump was still president. The lamp has an American flag on it.
That could get you in trouble now!
She took the lamp and shade to a craft show. The first person to walk by after we set it out was a truck driver and he bought it.
Brother @Girthang..............The pot is a Chef's Never Burn 16 quart pot.......it is 18/8 stainless steel........I Googled it and haven't came up with one like it.....but I'm still looking...........we cooked our apple butter for a total of 34+ hrs and it never scalded........the bottom two inches is made of layers of stainless steel with liquid silicone between them.........
Had I seen it I would have bought it.
The D-League is just crammed full of smart folks. Dang, I love this thread.
Get back on here Don father! You started the best thread in media history.

Wow. Thank you!
And .... weird. I would've thought maybe they put copper or a ceramic/copper blend in between. Never thought of using silicone
That's how bad it has got for me, I didn't even realize there was a game last night. ...it's a me problem.
I just cant get too excited about the cupcake games....more of a meat & taters game kind of person I guess?
Hey all.
Q. What kind of exercises do lazy people do?
A. Diddly squats
(I heard it, can't take credit for it, just passing it along.)

Update.......seems like Chef's has stopped production and sold all invetory to Tuesday............they apparently no longer make the NeverBurn pots.......it looks like they are coming out with a whole new line of pots....
Sign says "Mustangs" but I say "Man-A-Tease"
I found a nice T-shirt for you and your wife, Babe, to wear when you go by the Mustang Ranch

What kind do women do when they need to lose a pound or so real fast?
Piddly Squats.
I say "Broncos" well because they are "Fords" too and you can "ride" them all day.
Since the Director was the baby in a family of nine.......her nick name was and still is Babe........they couldn't come up with a middle name for her either...........🙄......I found a nice T-shirt for you and your wife, Babe, to wear for when you go by the Mustang Ranch
Well.......this has been an interesting day.
There's a guy that I have known for about 5-6 years. Not a personal friend but a business acquaintance. Really nice guy. Had called him in August or Sept...can't remember which. Talked to him that day regarding a business deal. he said he would call back or stop by but did neither. Called once or twice...sent a couple of emails...no response. So I figured that maybe he got sick...shut down the business...who knows. Talked to him today. Seems he took a leisurely, short stroll thru a gov't building in late January minding his own business and taking some pictures...and...............................
A very interesting story to say the least.

Pitino-quick..... Ouch...............Sir.
Another tidbit from today. Talked with a guy who owns a Harley dealership. Said he had an order in for shirts (to sell at the dealership). Took forever 'cause they were coming from China (where else) and were stuck on a boat out in the Pacific that couldn't get ported/unloaded. (is Petey still on maternity leave? Is he sore from delivery?)
He finally got them...several boxes. All were mildewed, wet, nasty. Company he bought them from won't take returns. He's stuck with a load of shirts he can't sell.

I like to watch How It's Made and I've seen at least a couple of segments on people making lamp shades. Those are one of the things that everyone uses and needs, but few people think of. To me, the lamp is what holds the shade and bulb up off the table.
You know, I saw this post last night but I didn't acknowledge it. It pissed me off. Don has been here since the first day of the D League. In a not too roundabout way, he's the reason there is even a D League to begin with. He wants to be here and has been trying to get back on...
No hard feelings, but from now on maybe mention Don when you are talking to Don.
I may not have laughed out loud, but I chuckled audibly.
Brother, I'd send him one if he needed it and would take it. Not sure where this is coming from. I was actually addressing the computer type, not Don but thanks...
Oh, I wasn't talking to Don, I was talking to who I replied.
I just received an email from the UK ticket office. Oh yes

Bowl Ticket Requests Now Being Accepted
That's not sad, that's angering. Just filthy business. If you paid via credit card dispute it.
A lot of the stuff you see is people doing craft stuff. Jan does do craft stuff, but that is just side stuff. At one time, I made a million shades a year before China and when I was younger. I used to buy a semi load of material at a time. Now its a pallet at a time. Rolls of material come in 48" tall and 125 yards long, weighing about 120 pounds. I have an automatic shelter that you can set for length and number of pieces to cut. I trace the needed patterns on the top sheet, staple the sheets together, and cut them with a huge one piece band saw made almost 100 years ago. We have several binding machines that attach the top and bottom wire to the shade. They are similar to sewing machines. Then we have sealing machines to glue the ends of the shades together. We have tables set up with glue wells where we add trim if needed. The last step is tables where we put the clear protective wrap around the shades.
This is coming from you being frivolous about someone I care about deeply, and even though you don't realize it, you threw Don in with your distaste for Chromebook. Whatever bullshit reason that might be. I don't care what is said from here on, I'm done with this issue. Brother.
I understand what you're saying. At least one of those shows was about people making leather shades. I would assume they are not a high volume dealer.
It's a shame when you realize that even a " Ma and Paw " organization in America cannot compete with 1.5 billion Chinese.
@Ben101er Do you have access to tickets as well? Are you thinking about going to the game? Assuming we are going to the Outback Bowl. Citrus Bowl is next in line so one or the other is basically a certainty at this point.
I don't know if you've read previous posts or not but there are a few of us going to the game that we know of. Hope you can join us!
Not unless when I throw it at her .........you are standing beside me and I can tell her it was your idea..........mountain women don't really care for cutesy street slang............or at least mine doesn't........I don't have a college education but.......nearly 47 yrs of marriage has taught me some things........
When he said "Bea", I thought of Aunt Bea and it made me happy. Wouldn't it be cool to have an Aunt Bea?
Fred Gwen and Al Lewis. Were a good team together.

Yeah it would be cool to have an Aunt Bea. My Aunts were pretty cool but my Great Aunts were another story. Aunt Vannie was psycho.
She wouldn't like Babe Bea?
I still have an aunt alive from my childhood but she doesn't remember all the times we had together. Her name is Helen and she made the best iced tea you've ever had. When I was about 3 I climbed a tree in her backyard to prove I could climb higher than my 8 year old cousin. The wind was blowing that day and my foot got caught between two branches during a gust.
She climbed the tree and freed my foot! It's funny to look back on that day and see her as she is now. Truth is, she was only about 25 years old when that happened. Not to mention the 300 foot tall apple tree I was in was only about 20 feet tall at its highest.
She is my Godmother and the only surviving member of the group of adults I knew as a child. Good on her.
It's sad because I only have 2 uncles left. No aunts. Haven't seen them in years. Both really good guys.
Sadly, most families today aren't nearly as close as families 30+ years ago.
I have 2 uncles left as well out of 5 from my mothers side and both of them are veterans. One went to Germany while the other spent 2 tours in Nam. Never met any family on my biological fathers side other than him and he left when I was 7. Was not and am not close to anyone of them now. Saw them at family reunions rarely (mothers side) before she died in 2012 but, have not been to one since. I actually envy you folks that have close nit families, especially on the holidays. Not bitter but I would like to know how that feels. Had that close once like I said in the month of April following my return to the states from the Gulf but, nothing on a grand scale. Holidays for me generally consist of me, my wife and daughter, and her mother and brother plus my Karate instructor since 88. He has no where to go so we invite him every year. We do however include the animals (4 dogs and 3 cats). Those animals really do fill a void for me because I generally eat away from the rest and they get a portion of my meal.
