Copied from FB PAUL HARVEY'S LETTER TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better. I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.. I really would. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him. When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy / girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it... And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he/she is not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand. These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.

I was pretty slow being convinced to try wet tumbling but since my last lead level was 17.9 I thought I’d give it a try. I decided on the Frankford Arsenal Platinum 7L. It has a 3 hour timer and Bass Pro Shop had them on sale for $149.98 and free shipping. I ran my first batch of .38 special and didn’t deprime, too much extra work to me. I just used water and the cleaning solution sample that came with the kit. From the results I think that’s what I’ll continue to use. I ran this batch for 2 hours and I’m extremely happy with the results. I guess I’m hooked now! Randy

I don't dry mine in the oven neither. That's where I hide my money. Safest place in the house. Right along with the bottom of the laundry basket. My wife'll never find it in either place.

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy, if the Pope won, they would have to leave. The Jewish people met and picked an aged, but wise, Rabbi Moshe to represent them in the debate. However, as Moshe spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no Hebrew, they all agreed that it would be a silent debate. On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moshe sat opposite each other for a few minutes before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Rabbi Moshe answered by raising one finger. Next, the Pope waved one finger around his head. Rabbi Moshe pointed down at the ground. Then the Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. The Rabbi pulled out an apple. On seeing that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten, the Rabbi was too clever, and the Jews could stay. Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope to ask what had happened. The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show that God is all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God is also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue." Meanwhile the Jewish community was gathered around Rabbi Moshe to find out how he won the debate. " I haven't a clue," said Moshe. "First, he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy. So I gave him the finger. Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews. So I said to him, "We're staying right here." "And then what?" they asked. "Who knows?" said Moshe. "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine."

Think??????? It's gone wayyyy past the thinkin' stage!!!!

You never learn to appreciate the sunshine unless it rains once in a while. Best thing that happened to me was being born in a family that didn't have much (any) extra money.

Winter is almost over.

The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, ‘I’ve got some bad news. You have cancer, and you’d best put your affairs in order.’ The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting. ‘Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t well. I have cancer. So, let’s head to the club and have a martini.’ After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the woman’s old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end, ‘I’ve been diagnosed with AIDS.’ The friends were aghast, gave the woman their condolences and beat a hasty retreat. After the friends left, the woman’s daughter leaned over and whispered, ‘Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS! Why did you do that??’ ‘Because I don’t want any of those b****es sleeping with your father after I’m gone.’.

The best ways to cook and enjoy kangaroo meat - ABC Everyday

Of course they do. I estimate that with Amazon Prime I save about 3 times what Prime costs in a year, sometimes more.

Y'all have tiny hats

I think it should be legal to slap news writers every time they exaggerate or get something wrong. Kangaroo runs rampant in Tampa before deputies' capture “Runs ‘rapant”…idiots. They can’t even finish a flippin’ sentence. Surprised the story didn’t have something along the lines of “The rampant kangaroo boinged and boinged everywhere it went.”

Take the roast out first and she may change her mind.

I aint falling for that crap again! A year or two ago you swore you wouldn't bring any voodoo hexins, so I was light on my mountain man hoodoo. Not this year! I'm pulling out all the stops. I been digging ginseng and cuttin' chicken feet off. Not to mention all the rocks I've spit under!

Food dehydrators work well for drying. Keep an eye out at yard sales.

Or having good taste

And y'all think I'm strange ........ ........... well, ..... you are ......

It's FRIDAY! A man parks his bicycle nearby the Capitol in Washington, DC and walks on. A police officer stops him and asks, "Why did you park your bicycle here? Don't you know it is a VIP road and all congressmen and senators pass from here?" Man replied, "Don't you worry about it, I locked my bicycle!"

Have the renewal bill on my desk but for various reasons I will never shoot another match and $69 a year is a bit expensive. I would like to continue some support of the organization. Would like to continue to visit & use the web site, but do not need the magazine. How about a flat fee for SASS Retired status, keeping alias and number and use of the web site?

You don't need to do anything, as far as I know. Just keep posting as always. Nothing will change.

You’ll always have your number and you don’t need to be a SASS member at all to use the web site(except for posting in the classifieds). Dout anyone could take your established alias here either. Hate to see it but understand, enjoy yourself and visit with us here often!

I bet he wouldn't turn his nose up at Hawaiian pizza right now.

A mother was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed. The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week. As the two kids walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy 's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week... Do you know her' Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.' The little girl said, 'Well, who is she' 'That's just Shirley Goodnest, 'Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.' 'Shirley Goodnest...! Who is she and why is she following us..' 'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mum makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.' May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always. (I know you smiled!)

When I first scrolled up and saw the sheep,'s eyes, I thought it was a picture of this.

yes

I use whatever is the cheapest auto wash and wax from wally world + ¼ teaspoon of Lemi-Shine leaves a thin coating that keeps the shells from tarnishing--some over 3 years old still bright and shiny remember you can get the primers corroded in the primer pockets if you let them in there too long--this is why I deprime first--but totally understand the 'too much work' part of your post

I haven't seen the lead clamps in years. They also make the terminal wires so short that it's damn near impossible to change out a bad/corroded clamp to a new one without splicing a new piece of wire on. Probably saves the company .25 cents per wire. I know, that's .50 per vehicle X however many vehicles they make a year so they can save the money to pay out outrageous bonuses to the bigwigs and union employees. I'd rather they just add the$1 to the price of the vehicle.
