There he goes goldbricking again. How many remember that term?
Ancient version of shamming or getting over.
I'd heard of it, but didn't know till I looked it up that the term gold brick came from the late 1800's when con men would try to pass off gold plated bricks (with the inside worthless metal) as solid gold bricks. By the early 1900's it had come into military jargon.
That guy is a worldwide running joke. Our Canadian friends can't stand the guy.Embarrassing: Seemingly Drunk Trudeau Shown Singing to Spectators While In London to Attend Queen's Funeral (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Margaret Flavin
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a constant public embarrassment.
What’s worse, an entitled, drunken frat boy firehosing taxpayer money on every hoser who might vote for him or a senile old fool who has never held a real job firehosing taxpayer money on every sad sack who might vote for him. Incredible those are the choices.Embarrassing: Seemingly Drunk Trudeau Shown Singing to Spectators While In London to Attend Queen's Funeral (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Margaret Flavin

Yep, old Army terminology. Shamming was the one we used most often. Getting over came later on. I suppose these days the term is "We are "entitled" not to work hard".
We are really going to be hot today, 92°F and it is already 73.4°. October and May are my favored months in South Central Kentucky. In Florida and Texas I liked January and February! In your area I liked October and June. May was a little cooler in Maryland than in Kentucky, of course in Maryland I was in the foothills of the mountains.
People in the more rural parts of Maryland are not much different than Kentuckians.
Goes goodwith peanut butter!!!
Morning Legionnaires!
High 90's expected today with light winds. Same ole same ole.
Face timed with my 5 grandchildren last night at 6:15. They were extra talkative and energetic. 8-year-old girl, 6-year-old triplet boys, and a 5-year-old boy. They had all been to a local county fair on Saturday, so it was fresh in their minds. One of the triplets had taken second place with apples he took to show at the fair and was very happy with himself.
After about an hour facetiming my son (Marine for 4 years and spent time fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan) told us he has taught them the 5 basic safety rules for handling and shooting guns (keeps his locked up). He had them recite the rules and in unison they all did. It was impressive how well they had them down but, he does the same with Bible verses, The Pledge of Allegiance, and has them learning the Constitution and the Bill of rights. Moreover, his wife does. They are all home schooled by her and are learning things the right way. Their foundation is in the word of God so I know they will be raised correctly.
You're looking at mountain medicine for cancer treatment. The very short shelf may be the result of enyme oxidation that could be addressed genetically. We already know how.Paw paws now in season if you can find them. Very short shelf life unfortunately.
Yeah, thats the man.Robert Pendleton Steenbergen

My wife's Ritter side of the family are from Frederick. They settled just north of the Green River.
Welcome to the family. My folks are all over the 6th KY CSA.I've posted in this thread before about civil war ancestry. And today I found out I am a descendant of a Civil war Confederate. (And possibly many more). William McGary Steenbergen enlisted in the 6th KY CSA CO. E. Part of the famous orphan brigade. His Father or grandfather was a language interrupter for George Washington during the American revolution.
''
When his regiment (6th Kentucky Infantry, Co. E) went into battle for the first time at Shiloh, Tennessee, William was among those wounded and left on the field for dead. Shot through the the body, he was removed to a field hospital where he lay for ten days before being sent as a prisoner to Evansville, Indiana. The doctors offered no hope for his recovery and his wound was pronounced "mortal", but to their surprise, after three months he was well enough to be moved to Camp Morton Prison.
In September of 1862, William Steenbergen was paroled and returned to his regiment although his wounds had left him unfit for field duty. Due to his poor physical condition, he was detailed as a surgeon's orderly for the next months. He was appointed Corporal in the spring of 1863.
After returning to active duty, William was again wounded, this time at the battle of Dallas, Georgia. His arm was badly hurt, making it impossible for him to load a weapon, but in spite of this injury, Cpl. Steenbergen returned to his company in time to take part in the battle of Jonesboro. He was said to have fired his rifle as fast as Lts. Terry and Holman were able to load it for him. At one point, when a loaded shell landed in the rifle pit beside him, Steenbergen tossed it out of the pit before it could explode, saving his own life and the lives of the men around him.''
I haven't found any blue boys yet. I believe a relative may have rode with John Hunt Morgan's 2nd Dukes Cavalry. Need confirmation on it though.
