Specialties School

Sad that we may need a category for this.

Another school shooting in NoCal.

Thinking of NoCalMimi and hoping she's okay.

I'd like to visit there for a couple of months; me and SP, learn how the Fins do things:bag:

Me too!

Group trip!

Poodles- A very bigggg huggggggggg to you. Anxiety can be crippling. I hope that your doc. gets your medicine adjusted and you can find your ways to cope with all the craziness of the world. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

My older son, got tickets for him and I to go to a concert in KC in a few weeks. I am a little scared to go, but, would never disappoint him by not going.

Peace Friends.

Thank you so much. Doc and I are currently in our third round of phone tag.

You must go. We have to live. We can't hunker down in the face of this.

Please go. Show your son to keep on living.

I agree. Unfortunately my brain doesn't and I hate that.

Kneeling during the anthem is a completely different topic and has been (purposefully) misconstrued by many in an attempt to not discuss racial inequality.

Analogy:

Person: I am volunteering at the homeless shelter this weekend because I want to help out those less fortunate than me

Naysayer: No. You are going so you can post about it on Facebook to stroke your ego.

Person: I post on FB to raise awareness. I feel strongly about helping the homeless and want others to be aware that there is a major problem.

Naysayer: So selfish.

I know plenty of veterans who do not feel slighted in the least by this peaceful protest that in no way violates the flag code.

Oh, I am going. It just seems so stupid that I would even have to have these thoughts.

I learned a long time ago, feelings are not right or wrong, they just are. How you react to them is a different matter all together!

NO - I can't make the connection from your analogy and knowing veterans who do not feel slighted is just an example of the why they should be honored; they are people of honor and integrity and served because of their love of country and family so some of them could care less if some overpaid dufus in a football costume kneels for the national anthem. I know my dad wouldn't give it second thought...if he was here to see it!!

You know I love you.

And I do too!!

My dad is an old country boy, vietnam vet, retired military, has taught conceal/carry class for years - he knows how to use a gun. But I would give my dad a hard time about always having that gun on him - well not after the incident a couple of weeks ago. He told me last night I had "to eat crow" because I would tell him all time he was silly/ridiculus for carrying a gun to church.

I know our beliefs differ and I love you too!

I hope you are equally outspoken about those who openly violate what is against the flag code (laying the flag flat, say across a sports field, using the flag as or on clothing, using the flag in advertising of any products) and the lawmakers that disrespect our veterans by voting against policies that ensure their access to mental health care.

It doesn't break Flag Code to kneel.

The NFL wants to enforce it, as a private organization? Then do it.

As far as the NFL, I guess rape, drugs and spousal abuse is fine, but for the love of God DON'T kneel in silent protest.

I didn't want this can to open, but there it is. The worms are allllllll over.

He and I need to have a few beers together.
