Do you find this as being one more of the things that must be all or none, black or white, right or wrong??
Why do you feel so much must be all or nothing??

Oh, I will add hurricane relief, but that was long ago.. in the shrub era..



Seem that everything is all or nothing to the right wing..

Why do you think people, me in this case can not pay taxes and also give to selected charities..

I will add that I do not give much, my amount is not ever going to make or break any group.. I only gives me a small amount of satisfaction that I have done a very little bit for something that I felt is important..

I’m trying to understand if “taxes are more efficient than charity” why you wouldn’t forward all your donation amounts directly to the government and let them handle it more efficiently. That’s all.

/at times it all is.. one this wonderful day, I have managed to PO some of my close personal friends on OPP and that was before 9 am..

Such a blemish.. but the day will win out.. tomorrow the rain and cold.

Bet it never gets cold in your neck of the world..


Oh! Contrare Mi Amigo! 😂😂

I opened the patio door the other morning at 4 am and a cold blast hit me in the face and froze my eyelashes! LOL! I immediately shut the door and ran to my trunk and dug out my longhandles and toboggan! The long winter had begun! It was 53 degrees! Brrrrrrr! My goodness, it may beat last year’s record and freeze more than once this winter, if that’s any indication!

For now, all is well….it’s a perfect fall day in lower Alabama at a balmy 78 degrees, but it was too windy and the water too rough to get to the spot my husband and son wanted to fish………maybe tomorrow, my son will be here a week! LOL! 🤗

Nearly every day we hear complaints about taxes going to causes we do not like and not to what we do like.. So I pay the taxes and the donations are just to be sure that what I want gets a little bit of support..

As you guys say.. never trust the government..

Love the way you put all that together.. just as I was imagining a fire place in Texas , you reveal the LA location.. I once knew a fellow who allways talked of being from LA.. he seemed far to level for that, then one day he disclosed.... Lower Alabama.. Loved the short tab from then on..

Great to have sons with.. and fish.. are you able to go out on the deep water of the gulf? that would be so much fun..

Any way great day,, now, enjoy the e vening..

It was perm who first spelled it manor. I was thinking to myself "I bet it is used in an efficient manor" like Pelosi or Obama's manor.

I think you need to circle back to this one liner! It had nothing to do with the correct “spelling” of the word, it was the correct usage of manner versus manor! I doubt JR-57 had a problem with spelling manner! He seems to be quite efficient in his writing skills. IMO! We all make mistakes……right CD! 👍

BTW! I saw no evidence of anyone “getting” to Permie! He seemed to be holding his own! 😎

We got a kick out of the LA line when we first moved here 2 years ago! We had intended to do a lot more exploring the neighboring states, but COVID changed everything! Fishing is about all we’ve done. I don’t go on the “far” jaunts, I have a terrible problem with seasickness……AND, I really don’t like being too far from land! 🤗 Otherwise, I love to fish. It’s been a lot of fun to spend these 2 years of total retirement with my husband and lots of memories made with our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids when they came to vacation land, as they call it! LOL!

Kudos to all of you..
