I’m watching Meet the Mormons but stopped at the last 29 minutes of that movie. So far I’ve “met’ and energetic bishop in Atlanta, Georgia passionate about his family roots and brining that to the youth he is in contact with, the head football coach for the US Navy football team who made a conscious decision not to have any meetings on Sundays with his staff, who has personal challenges to overcome like anyone else and how living the gospel of Jesus Christ brings him blessings through his decisions to overcome his personal struggles, a martial arts couple very devout and loving to their family and how putting the principles of the gospel first and foremost in their lives has helped them make good decisions, and a former military pilot who, by the prompting of the Holy Spirit began a candy drop over East Berlin after WWII and Stalin’s decision to cut off East Berlin from the rest of the world. He became known as the Candy Bomber and his act of service was infectious.
It is thus far an excellent movie. I’m tired right now but I fully plan to finish through it soon. It’s on Netflix if anyone has a subscription.

I was going to go to bed but I got caught up reading this article. It’s about what Judaism could learn from Mormonism. I really enjoyed how the article gives several facts and tidbits regarding the orthodoxies and orthopraxis of both faiths and as far as I can tell, are very accurate.

Is that pronounced cheesus?

Hey, these days 60 is just nicely mature. 🙂 -
Dang youngsters always causing trouble—–

When Shannon was a toddler, he wouldn’t talk. Our mother kept taking him to doctors to find out what was wrong with him. Finally, he started talking when he was nearly three and, of course, he never has stopped talking since.

Happy birthday to the old guy!

Happy Birthday Shannon, you are much older than I. :>)

When this pope calls capitalism dung of the devil and smiles as he views a crucifix on a commie hammer and sickle I like him less and less. I think he is a Marxist at heart. -
Well it’s about TIME you ‘caught up’ Brother geez
Welcome to decade #6!!!
(actually decade #7 eh?) -
Happy birthday, Shannon! And many, many more!
And don’t let the “talks a lot” comments bother you. It’s when you stop talking that you’ve got problems!

Did you not read of his negative reaction to the sickle crucifix ? -
Happy birthday, Shannon!
60 is the new 48.
-
At 60 the fun is just beginning. You can now publicly embarrass your children, sit around mumbling about anything you want to, take a nap every day, be grouchy, hog the bathroom, and do other things you always wanted to get away with. Enjoy.

LOIS AND KEVIN: The Wall Street Journal reports emails show former IRS official Lois Lerner and Wisconsin Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy in contact during the brunt of the GAB’s political investigation into conservative targets. Kennedy described Lerner as a longtime “professional friend.”
The Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Thursday and headlined “Wisconsin’s friend at the IRS” reveals that Lerner and Wisconsin Government Accountability Board’s Kennedy were in contact between 2011 and 2013 — when the GAB assisted partisan prosecutors in investigating scores of conservatives and in raiding several of their homes.

Did you not read of his negative reaction to the sickle crucifix ?Yahbut something showed up in his email box that said the Pope smiled——-

#27: I was looking at the picture in the linked article that clearly shows him smiling and looking at the object.
Jerk!

Argentina and Greece have some commonality.

Another happy B-day Shannon!

When your host presents you a gift, chances are you will be smiling before you realize it is inappropriate. Good grief.

La Paz, Bolivia, Jul 9, 2015 / 10:45 am (CNA/EWTN News).- When leftist Bolivian president Evo Morales on Thursday presented Pope Francis with a “communist crucifix” – a carving of Christ crucified on the hammer of a hammer and sickle – the Pope appeared to say, “This is not ok,” while shaking his head.
-
#31: How long do you think it would take you to realize that was inappropriate, half a second, maybe? Did they just happen to snap that pic in that half second?
-
Did they just happen to snap that pic in that half second?
Yes, they did.

Bonesy.
Are we looking at the same picture?
Here it is, straight from the linked article (which is the link in my #32).

There’s plenty of reasons to disagree with this Pope without going bat sht crazy about it.
-
Numerous reports have him reacting negatively.
What more do you want? -
#39: That is hilarious. Try and imagine a cat even attempting something like that. That is one smart dog and it likes to play.

Happy Birthday Shannon

Hillary Clinton’s push on gun control marks a shift in presidential politics.
But in a sign that the political environment on guns has shifted in the wake of recent mass shootings — and of Clinton’s determination to stake out liberal ground in her primary race against insurgent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — Clinton is not only initiating a debate about gun control but also vowing to fight the National Rifle Association.
“I’m going to speak out against the uncontrollable use of guns in our country because I believe we can do better,” Clinton said Tuesday in Iowa City.
Clinton’s comments could stoke millions of politically active gun owners, and Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president, argued that the move was fraught with peril for her.“We’ve been down this road before with the Clintons,” LaPierre said through a spokesman. “She needs to read her husband’s book.”
In his memoir, “My Life,” former president Bill Clinton suggested that his vice president, Al Gore, lost the 2000 presidential election in part because of backlash in states such as Arkansas and Tennessee over the Clinton administration’s 1995 ban on assault weapons, which has since expired. Many Democratic lawmakers also lost their elections after gun-control votes.
The Republican 2016 presidential candidates, in keeping with GOP orthodoxy, have spoken out loudly against gun control. Many gave speeches at the NRA’s spring convention and tout their high ratings from the group

The pic in Bones’ #17 link does depict a faint smile on pope’s face. Perhaps a quizzical smile, before he realizes what he is looking at. Other pix e.g. #36 are definitely showing displeasure.

#41 Has the Bellville fire department been notified? Is Bellville big enough to have a fire department?

When you’re a Democrat and you’ve lost Slate you’ve lost the argument:
In the meantime, you shouldn’t need a political consultant to tell you why consumers paying hundreds of dollars—or even more than $1,000 a month—for health insurance they are required to buy and often can’t afford to use might well get angry. Once you name something the Affordable Care Act, people oddly expect the product on offer to be affordable. Who’d have thunk it?
Of course, I’m sure their solution is complete government takeover of healthcare, which was most likely
SCOTUSRobertsCare’s goal from the beginning. -
I guess they have about a dozen trucks. One main station and two rural ones. Department is at least a hundred years old. All volunteer and well run.

No it doesn’t.
It means she can feel Bernie Sanders breathing on her knickers and Gun Control is one of the few issues she can get to the left of him on and doesn’t want the humiliation of losing other states after she loses Iowa and NH

Took me all day to remember Ken Stabler’s nickname.
Must be getting old. -
Dr Zhivago has assumed tundra temperature.
Do you play the balalaika?
-
For Stabler and the rest of the team, the parties started on the first day of training camp. Among veterans, camp has a rote, eat-your-spinich quality, and Stabler, already uncomfortable with schedules and rules, felt it more acutely than most. But rather than letting it sour their moods, Stabler and his cronies decided that, since their presence was mandatory, they might as well kick out the jams. As Stabler put it: “The monotony of camp was so oppressive that without the diversions of whiskey and women, those of us who were wired for activity on no more than six hours sleep a night might have gone berserk.”
Shortly after arriving in Oakland, Snake hooked up with four like-minded players, forming a hedonistic club he called the “Santa Rosa Five.” In addition to himself, there was halfback Pete Banaszak, receiver Fred Biletnikoff, defensive end Tony Cline and linebacker Dan Conners. They lived in a two-room suite at the El Rancho Motel in Santa Rosa and it quickly became party-central for Raiders in need of a good time. The Five bought three refurbished refrigerators and lined them up side by side in the suite’s main room. One was for snacks, the other two were exclusively for beer. Properly packed, they could hold 20 cases.

When I first moved to Houston, during the height of the “Urban Cowboy” craze, Stabler had a drugstore cowboy club on 290 called Diamondback. I always heard it referred to as “The Snakepit”.

More on doughnut licking – from Shapiro.
In reality, Grande’s act was probably just a juvenile act of narcissistic nastiness from a juvenile, narcissistic, nasty person. But she knew enough to know that if she cloaked her hijinks in the holiness of a leftist cause, she’d draw support. And so she shall. No act is too low for those seeking to harm dastardly Americans who disagree with the politically correct cause of the day — and no heaven is too high for these saints so far as the left is concerned.
Included is an admission from the Bully Dan Savage about his disgusting and sophomoric antics – licking doorknobs.
These people are gross and so immature as to make me request they repeat their grade school years in an attempt to force maturation upon them.
-
Now THIS kind of licking is different! Nothing like a good scalp massage from your best friend to put you to sleep.

I was watching a story on CNN about the VA hospital boondoggle in Colorado and saw this banner:
Excuse me, I’ve got some Brawndo for my garden and I need to irrigate. It’s what plants crave.
-
The next story was about the pope in South America and his speech on “unbriddled” capitalism.
-
The new Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
-
Is it just my addled brain, or does that banner make no sense ?
-
I don’t know who this Grande gal is but I am tired of the constant coverage of it. Like the blow by blow of the SC flag coming down. All day. Maybe if they dropped the flag pole on Grande’s head bringing both stories to an end it might have been worth it.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to the newest geezer.

Thank you.
Takes an old goat to know one.

Brawndo has electrolytes.

Powerthirst harnesses the power of 400 babies.

I spent a few moments trying to find out what Brawndo is.
Not much luck.
Ignorance is bliss.

I spent a few moments trying to find out what Brawndo is.
It comes from the post-apocalyptic comedy called Idiocracy and, increasingly, a mirror held up to modern society.

The balalaika has very much the same tone as an ukelele when both are played by experts.

But, hey, at least I know who Ariana Grande is.

And I found out today that William Barrett Travis was a ginger.

Cheeshovah Witness mice.
Wonder if the mouse in the hole got the knock early Saturday AM too?
Dang sleep wreckers.

John McClain telling Kenny Stabler stories on AM610 this afternoon, freaking hilarious. What awesome times. Everyone’s hammering him to write a book entitled “Stories I Can’t Tell on the Air”.
Think his column today on the Chron’s dead tree version has a lot of them as well.

Do they do a BFD calendar every year to raise funds?
-
So—
Arianna Grande isn’t that stuff I bought at the hipster coffee place?
-
Saw this Ariana live at Warehouse Live. Freaking wow.

Happy B-day Shannon and before dementia sets in always remember this.

How things come back around. For Hamous.

Hamous, this used be hard to find.

No calendar. But a helluva BBQ, auction, and dance. They have been known to sell beer there.

#83, 84 – Just recently, I saw a Michael Been tribute concert (probably on Palladia) with the original Call members and his son singing.
I forgot Garth Hudson played keyboards on the early stuff, but you can recognize his sound immediately in The Walls Came Down.

Rememberimg “The Snake”
In that highlite reel they show the “Holy Roller” play causing the no forward fumble rule.

Much cooler than deflating footballs.

The real estate market is just unbelievable. Sweetie just made an offer that was just listed today, they got four offers already and are asking for “highest and best” by Monday. This is happening constantly now, she has clients making offers sight unseen because they get snapped up so fast. Offers so high the appraisals aren’t being approved (another story).

Happy Birthday, Shannon.

Tim — Do these desperate home buyers speak with foreign accents, like the Bronx or Boston? A new wave of yankee invasion into Texas…

And the Number One song on the day Shannon was born:

Truth be told.

Bill Haley would have turned 90 last Monday.

The solar system gif is really, really cool. I’m so used to seeing the static version, I never thought of the forward movement.

All of her current clients are local except one couple from Tennessee that moved here a couple months ago. This activity is across the board – rentals, buyers from the one hundreds to mid threes. Just her sample, she doesn’t have a feel for other buyers but around her office it seems the same.

So you know that to be forward?
Not sideways? Backwards? -
