Thank you, but maybe we better wait till they start going after folks. I believe they will try! Then you'll need to light it 24/7

These are the characteristics I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN and will continue to do so regardless of whether they are PC or NOT. Frankly, being P.C. is at the very bottom of any social or moral considerations and I find the thought of it revolting. When one is considered "NOT P.C" that is...

This type of living has been a lifelong goal as well as dream for me. The other day while I was at work one of my colleagues made a comment to me that I thought was rather impressive. He said to me "you're the Greenest guy I have ever met". The question the OP asks in the title of this post is...

Okay, you got me on that one. I had forgotten to refer all the way back to that particular word because I she said there is no English equivalent. However, I would tend to think that if you put all 12 of those characteristics together it would in someway comprise the concept of SISU!

I quite agree nothing is perfect. But I do respect everybody who wants to study both sides of any discussion and give it a fair evaluation. Of significance, is the fact that nobody puts anything like that article on the Internet with the absolute intent of it being absolutely true. That's the...

What is sisu? You refer to it in the sentence above but I have never seen that word before. As for obedience, no one is expected to be "unyielding". That would require the " Nuremberg defense" and we all know that is not a viable option.

So exactly how trustworthy is Snopes?

1. Trustworthy 2. loyal 3. Helpful 4. Friendly 5. Courteous 6. Kind. 7. Obedient. 8. Cheerful 9. Thrifty 10. Brave 11. Clean 12. Reverent Don't ask me how I know these. I memorized them when I was 12 years old. I was brought up believing these were the things that were expected of all of us. But...

This is NOT what I would call a "rosy outlook". Things seem to be getting worse. I am waiting for the next "shoe to drop" and find that they won't "raise the debt ceiling" which means things will go from bad to worse. If I were to predict, I would say that they will refuse to do it this time...

I was always taught, "Actions speak louder than words!" It really doesn't matter what is said. It matters what they do. They have created the beginning of a totalitarian situation where the "Authorities" (Democrats) make the rules and if you don't like it, you are a criminal and have to be...

Hey G, Nice to hear from you. Yes, winter has reached SDAK. Fortunately, I am way up on the NE corner and we have been having a lot of rain, wind and colder temps but not the blizzards they're having on the west side of the state. That area is very odd from a meteorological perspective. I'm...

No, fortunately I am what you call an independent contractor. And I do not work for my rich uncle Sam. I do get a pension from him and if I lose that in this mess, well then I lost it. There's nothing I can do about it. To be honest with you I am convinced that's the case. I have a feeling they...

Thanks. I've been away a LOT lately. It seems that I got myself into a schedule that has made me busy for about 3 weeks without a break. Not smart but that is the way things go. Autumn is here. Leaves are changing color and the temperatures are beginning to show decline. The fall is my favorite...

I never knew the cast-iron trick but I do the same thing with the substance called Armetale. I have found that this works even faster than aluminum. Apparently it is a fusion of 13 different metals and it transfers heat better and faster than any metal I've ever seen in my life. I was fortunate...

Well we sure are glad you were wearing your helmet. Things could've been a great deal worse. Hope you continue on the mend and things start going well again! Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni Trim sends //BT//

A wise man from Oklahoma once said "timing has a lot to do with the success of a rain dance!" Welcome to our craziness. It sounds as though you have some significant challenges. While reading your post, it occurred to me to ask whether or not you have ever considered looking into the concept of...

Okay boys, that's enough. Back to your corners! Just for the record, yes I did well in chemistry; and yes I did understand the chemistry GD was trying to explain. To enlighten everybody, I am aware of the carbon monoxide issue however the fire burns so hot that it really is not as big an issue...

Perhaps my description of the combustion failed to admit that carbon dioxide and water are produced. It is more important however to realize that the harmful products of combustion are the ones which are consumed and transformed into the waste products, CO2 and H2O. I did post a few...

:welcome Bryce All the advice above is helpful and wise. Since you are NOT 18, we shall assume that you continue to live with your parents, who if they live in AZ have some of this figured out, assuming the piece of land you describe was their choice. Having said that, I notice that there...

I have noticed that as well. If you cut each half into sections you will see a different response. Not sure why but I find that to be the case. I have also noticed that when they are canned in halves you don't get very many in the jar and have to use a LOT of jars to accomplish the task. I have...
