I do call spade a spade. Now I could call up all kinds of stories about how downtrodden I was, But it just does not matter. Life is hard get used to it or move along. I don’t give a damn about your self esteem. You want me to respect you? What have you done but turn food into shit. Have you planted garden? talk and helped out your parents. I’ll treat you with respect when you do something. For god’s sake grow up. Not for my sake but your own.

I did not realize Linda that you were in the “belly of the beast”. I don’t think I’d hit them but my Momma had a take the battle to all bullies policy. I do try to be polite, but my momma never let me back away from a fight either.

Now My Mom told the southern ladies way of calling BS was to say “That’s nice” But she was raised in OK. so it might be a regional thing.
I being an Army vet tend to use a few more “colorful metaphors” and am a bit more pungent in my remarks. I’m trying to get better at saving the heavy verbal artillery for special occasions.

LOL…Linda,I find myself coming in contact (not always by choice) with Obama loving,hard core leftists and it kills them most when you smile and state the facts to their comments.I do not look for an argument but if I were…there’d be plenty to say and I could say it in a very ladylike manner.

Hey Texas Lady!
Was the Israel-hating Jewess aware that she was eating pork? Thought that wasn’t kosher. Oh well, times change I guess …
Being male, I missed out on the finishing school routine, but saw enough of the results thereof. Some of my relatives were the most charming people you can imagine, if they didn’t know you. Once you were family, the kid gloves came off and they gave free lessons on dignity, responsibility, discipline and anything else you needed to know, in their opinion. Made for occasional fireworks, but I miss the departed ones dearly.
Hug a goat for me; now my research has taken a turn into “combustion synthesis”. The trick is not to combust too much at once…
Cheers!

Lynne, dear, we have an old South’n joke which necessitates using a vulgar word, for which I apologize. If I were forced to attend a tea party with Hillary, James Carville, and Rahm Emmanual I wouldn’t argue with them. I would smile, and murmur “charming” as necessary. Why? Because in finishing school they teach sweet young South’n girls that this is a more ladylike response than “bull shit.” Sometimes when I use “charming” I mean precisely that…but you may have noticed that when answering my rare hate mail I usually thank the author for his charming letter! I got stuck for a long dinner next to a hard core leftist recently–and promptly turned the conversation to fond remembrances of beloved pets, current and past. That seemed like the most useful response to an Israel-hating Jewess wolfing down pulled pork. She made one last try with “What do you think of Sarah Palin?” I replied sweetly, “I think she is very pretty,” and told another dog story.

Ill keep flying, its the best way to travel. Its also the safest. The most dangerous way to travel is get into your car to go somewhere. The chances of me getting killed by a terrorist is damn near 0. I fly at least once a month and typically I vacation in Europe each year. Im going to turkey this fall and terrorism is way way down on my list of things to be worried about. Its a phantom fear and a joke the way the media plays up all the dangers of terrorism.

I beginning to think that “comman sense” is the answer but comman sense is not all that comman.

Well if full-body scanners is so great why don’t the Israelis use it? They seem to have a powerful interest of keeping out terrorists.
I’ll never fly commercial air again. Airlines aren’t worried about the safety of their planes they are worried about getting sued. Will it be inconvenient yes but my life is worth a bit of inconvenience.

I had the expiriece of using one of the full body scanners last weekend. Its slower than molassas in January. Luckily they were not running all the people through one of those scanners. Using these things is really going to slow down the security process at the airport. I dont know if they are more effective or not. You have to stand in front of it for about 20-30 seconds with your hands over your head. You can have nothing at all in your pockets, even pieces of paper. It was interesting to say the least. I just hope that is not going to become standard mainly due to how much it slows everything down.
