cookies are sweet

My dad was a funny, in both senses of the word, guy. He was a black and white kind if person, but, he also held himself to that standard, which is to me, unusual. I vote and so does my mom and brother. The wife votes, unless I can stop her. (I have mentioned she is a big liberal, haven't I? Then you see why I try and stop her.) But sadly, I am usually voting against, rather than for.

I am not sure that I have ever been to a polling place where every person who has dog in the race wasn't waving signs. If the tent and the signs were improperly placed, they should have been, and it sounds like they were, moved. If you call someone who has signs and sign wavers at the polling pace unethical and tacky, then I guess they are all unethical and tacky. I won't argue the tacky part, but I never have paid them a bit of attention when driving in, except for once I knew someone and said hello. (I just slowed down, I didn't stop. I was afraid they would all attack, like in a zombie

Sounds like it went well. Hoping that the heartbeat picks up on it's own. Just an FYI, there is a great deli near there. (at least it used to be great) Turn left out of St Joes, turn right at the light, go past Northside and the light for Scottish Rite, the deli is in a shopping center on the right, just before you get to...Glenwood?

I don't want a plane to crash anywhere, but I will take a prayer. (my momma says I need them) Yes, and cookies at night.

People got stills and kickbacks and instead of good white lighting and cash, all I get is a night at the Holiday Inn Express. (at least they have cookies)

I want a kickback. I never get nothing.

Best post of the thread!

Well I voted today and may I say that I really believe that Dewey will beat Truman. Gooooo Thomas!

I may be wrong, but I don't think that Millar directed another theatrical movie after that. He did a so-so job on Rooster Cogburn. You had both Wayne and Hepburn on that picture, two actors with very strong viewpoints on how pictures should be made. Maybe he wasn't strong enough to handle the job (actors). My point was not to try and belittle Arkansas, but just to tell the story. I have never heard anything negative about the landscape of Arkansas. Now Kansas...that is another story for another day.

This has really bothered me. It is so senseless.

St Joes has good people. Good place to have a surgery.

OK, OK, we all understand that Ted Bundy had bad dating habits, but it only affected a few (and that is really all...a FEW) families. Shame on those who slander people to further their political ambitions and perhaps worse. (this last sentence is not directed at CPR)

Very sorry.

You say she's good looking? We may want to rethink this thing, I always wanted to be married to a good looking lady judge.

I am not sure if the person explained why, we would understand it.

Downhill is where we are headed, up hill is where we need to go. I will try and listen tomorrow.

True story, when they were making Rooster Cogburn, with John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn, they filmed it in Oregon, which looks nothing like Arkansas, which is where the movie is set. When this was brought to the director of the movie's attention, by the author of the book True Grit, which the character Rooster Cogburn is based on, Stuart Millar the director told Charles Portis, the author and an Arkansas native, "Most people in Arkansas never get more than 50 miles from home, they will be happy to think that part of Arkansas looks this pretty." Needless to say, Charles Portis was not a big

Rockysmom and LPPT on a road trip?? Didn't they make a movie about that, Thelma and,,,,,, Glad you ladies had fun and got home safe. A week in Destin, sounds wonderful, even if it did rain some. PS I never saw that Thelma and (whoever was the other lady), so I hope my joke wasn't a bad one.

I understand people get irritated by paw prints on their car and things like that, but dang it, that is someone's pet and it's just a car. (the prints will come off) Also, those who love to feed the birds and don't like cats coming around, I get it, but again, there are better ways. I just don't understand. I mean our poodle is a big pain in the...rear (you have no idea how much), but even as much as I get mad at him, I have never hurt him, threatened to, but heck, the dumb mutt can't help that he is a crackhead dog. I hope the vet has good news.

I am so, so sorry to hear about your kitty. I have gotten pretty mad at some dogs before (when I lived in Cherokee County) but even I never shot at them, not even with a BB gun, though I threatened to. (I don't think the dogs gave a crap about my threats) But a cat? You just say Boo to a cat and they are hightailing it for the house.

So many jokes.

My dad just got fed up. His point, right or wrong, was if they aren't crooks when they are elected, they will be soon. He was a very moral and ethical person, who would follow his morals and ethics and not compermise them, no matter what the cost to himself and he couldn't understand people who were elected to do the same, not doing so. One last note, my dad sounds very judgmental and I guess he was, looking back on it, but he was never that way about ordinary people, at least I never heard him say anything. It was always about people who put themselves in the public eye, I never heard

I agree. I may have posted this before, but what the hey, posting something more than once has never been a big problem for me. My dad quit voting in the 70's. Back when Clinton was pres, my dad was sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper, my mom was cooking some breakfast. My dad was just a fussing about Clinton, both to my mom and to me as I was in and out of the kitchen. I tried not to get sucked into it and answered any questions with as short and noncommittal answers as I could. (not that I didn't agree with him, he just tended to get would up and I was trying not to let him

Thank you.
