I appreciate both sides of the Easter Holiday.
Rememberance of the Sacrifice and of the Resurrection are our heritage and the faith that we live by.
The bunnies and ducks and chicks are just as much a part of our heritage and our children are captivated, entertained, and amused by the imagery, the comedy, and the joy of the holiday.
Let’s remember that there is room for both!!
I'm not seeing anyone here objecting to those, although I do object to those cultural additions being the sole focus of the day.
Our brother, Sgt. C.J. did raise an objection to the White House message that seems to raise transsexual recognition day above the Resurrection.

I don't recall 10 for a penny, but I do remember the penny candy sticks. About 6 inches long, maybe 3/8" diameter. Rootbeer Barrels 2 for a penny. The little lawbreakers 5 for a penny, the big ones, 3/4", a penny each.

The sheet of gum was awful. Bazooka gum with the Bazooka Joe comic was the best.
There was a foot long stick, maybe about half an inch diameter, Bub's Daddy, that I though was better. But no comic!

I always like Fleer the best...Bazooka Joe miniature comics. Back then, it really didn't matter...baseball cards, comics...it was bubblegum. That was some weird white stuff on the card gum though. Double Bubble...meh.
The white powdery stuff is cornstarch to keep it from sticking to the paper too much.

As a working medic, I attended training sessions of various kinds.
The College of Osteopathic Medicine had a forensic presentation of the Crucifixion.
I viewed it with the eyes of a working medic, taking in the mechanism of the injuries and the body's systemic and physiologic responses.
Behind my medic's eyes, behind my professional mask, I was quietly falling apart.
Before this cold, clinical discussion of one man's death, before this unfeeling, clinical analysis of its precise effects, I'd taken Easter for granted.
Never since.
From the Matins of Holy Friday: (Also called The 12 Gospels)
Choir: Every member of thy holy body endured dishonour for our sakes: thy head, the thorns: thy face, the spitting; thy cheeks, the buffeting; thy mouth, the taste of gall mingled with vinegar; thine ears, the impious blasphemies; thy back, the scourging and thy hand, the reed; thy whole body, the stretching on the Cross; thy limbs, the nails; and thy side, the spear. Thou hast suffered for us and by thy passion set us free from passions; in loving selfabasement thou hast stooped down to us and raised us up: O Saviour almighty, have mercy on us.One of the longest services of Holy Week.

First would be Salisbury Steak, second choice would be the Turkey Dinner. But, frankly, I preferred the Banquet Chicken Pot Pie.

And His Fraudulency Joe Biden even manages to screw THIS up.
White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre has doubled down after President Joe Biden declared Easter Sunday “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
I agree that he could have ignored it, or at least downplayed it, but he didn't pick the date for it.
This abomination was established 31 March, 2009.

No one has forgotten about the victims, but there is no sense in having more fatalities to recovering the remains.
Although they haven't come out and said it directly, I have to imagine that the submerged victims are inside of vehicles that are now intertwined with the bridge wreckage. At this point, getting them out would be impossible without cutting up the bridge putting the divers at unreasonable risk.
I wonder why there are not underwater drones to do cutting/demolition, maybe there are.
Well said.
About drones...I suspect that currents and visibility would be issues underwater.

This has far reaching effects. My relative’s jobs are 200 miles from Baltimore.
Which is why I have no problem with the feds saying, basically, "Here's the money up front, we'll fight the insurance companies later....get cracking and get that port open."
Torches are already burning that steel.

HOLY PASCHA: The Resurrection of Our Lord - Troparion & Kontakion
Commemorated on April 19
Troparion — Tone 4
Christ is risen from the dead, / trampling down death by death, / and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!
Troparion — Tone 8
(Hypakoe)
Before the dawn Mary and the women came / and found the stone rolled away from the tomb. / They heard the angelic voice: “Why do you seek among the dead as a Man / the One Who is everlasting Light? / Behold the clothes in the grave; go and proclaim to the world: / ‘The Lord is risen; He has slain death, / as He is the Son of God, saving the race of man.’”
Kontakion — Tone 8
You descended into the tomb, O Immortal, / You destroyed the power of death. / In victory You arose, O Christ God, / proclaiming: “Rejoice!” to the Myrrhbearing Women, / granting peace to Your Apostles, and bestowing Resurrection on the fallen
Edit to add, from a few years ago

ill give you that if its traditionally been used then i must stand corrected but interesting that its never come up as accepted in my past studies , granted thats a long time ago and i may have been taking the wrong classes to get that enlightenment ,
It's one of those "Everybody Knows" things that people just accept. I had accepted it too. I first ran across it in print when I was in my early 20s in the Cloverdale Bible - I had 5 or 6 different translations spread out around me to dispute the "It's a mistranslation" assertation by someone. "Hmmm.....that's interesting, " I thought to myself. That caused me to delve into it a bit deeper.
I think the "Everybody Knows" that it's not proper English is because it wasn't used in the universities and high society salons of the early 1800s. Yes, used by the "uneducated" but "uneducated" doesn't mean unintelligent. It's just a different dialect. Sort of like for soft drinks - are they soda, pop, or coke? Shopping cart or buggy? Do you press a button or mash a button? -

You must be too far north to have a lot of Mexicans around where you live.
Tuna is the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. In Mexican Spanish.
Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Mexican market around here. I've never seen it tagged as tuna in a Mexican market. They sell it as Nopales or fruta de nopales . Of course, in Mexican Spain, heck, all Latin American Spanish, both lemons and limes are Limon. Makes reading receipts challenging sometimes because of the different flavors they have.

but these are a bit less offensive to my mind than the use of "AX" in lieu of 'ask' and such
Axe in that context is perfectly good English. Goes back about 1200 years, and derives from the Old English "acsian". Chancer used it as "ax," in the Cloverdale Bible Jesus says, "Axe and it shall be given." Even The Bard used it, but then, he played fast and loose with the English language. Into the 1800s it was common in the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Appalachian regions.
It's now somewhat archaic, or snubbed as lower class, ignorant, or black dialect, but still proper English.

well , in my world the evening would be 1930 , i get that the morning/evening reference was redundant tho , but isnt that the military way ? just a question of refence i thought some might catch but i get your point , redundancy for redundancies sake is almost like a double negative - prone to an obtuse interpretation ,
I'll give you that it wasn't as bad as reporters saying "7:30 a.m. in the morning." It's one of the peeves in my menagerie.
"Hot water heater," which I guess could be a device to take already heated water and superheat it under pressure.
"Tuna fish," as opposed to tuna poultry, or tuna swine.

flaunting the law' versus 'flouting the law' mix up is kind of in the same category as the 'could care less' versus 'couldn't care less' error. It's wrong, but has been used that way so often and so long that it's common use, and everyone knows what you mean when you say it.
About like magazine and clip. Even in the 1980s there were advertisements that a rifle came with 2 clips. Everyone knew that what was meant was "detachable box magazine," a magazine that "clipped" into the rifle.

No backatcha. Your site is wrong (or misleading).
That's why I wrote ''seem"
Here's the text I read
"Beer, wine, and liqueurs can be purchased in retail stores, grocery, and convenient stores in Florida. Spirits are available in retail package stores. Bars and restaurants stop serving alcohol between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. Alcohol is not sold on Sunday"

"UPDATE ON THE FSK BRIDGE CASUALTY
I understand that not everyone has a maritime background so I‘m writing this for better understanding
A couple days ago when I posted some initial thoughts on the FSK Bridge allision, I said:
“The thing that catches my attention the most is the sharp starboard turn into the bridge support. Older single screw (propeller) ships tend to turn when attempting to reverse.
I was sure the MV DALI would have a multi-engine/prop given the size of the vessel. I was wrong.
After digging closer into details of the vessel, I was surprised to see that a vessel this size does in fact have a single engine / SINGLE SCREW. The MV DALI has a single 55,600 HP engine.
Given that, the first part of my description the other day seems to apply. A vessel with a single prop will take the stern to port (left), and push the bow starboard (right).
As we’ve seen in the video, when the black smoke came out during an attempt to backdown, we saw the bow make a fast turn to starboard.
The vessel was moving about 8 or 9 knots when they attempted to backdown. With a single screw in reverse, they lose rudder control and with the bow being pushed starboard, they had no maneuvering capability and forward movement in the wrong place and time.
There are some other things I’m looking into now. Apparently, they had power issues in port before departing. Given that, they SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT THE PIER until fully checked out.
In 2020, the International Maritime Organization published IMO 2020 regulations requiring lower sulphur fuels for environmental reasons. I’m looking into the fuel issue now.
Given the effects of the single screw, the location and forward motion, we know HOW it hit the bridge. The investigation will dig into the precipitating factors at the beginning of a sad chain of events to find the initial WHY.
In a maritime investigation, it’s important to identify the first causal factor and follow it out. Many times, after the precipitating factor, additional casualties, environmental or human factors can determine the final outcome."

In general society equates education with intelligence. Most of us here know that that isn't necessarily true. I've known people with advanced degrees who, outside of their specialty, were dumb as a rock. As in can't figure out how to work a P38 can opener.
And then people like my dad who had a 6th grade education but was an expert electrician, I don't say master because that has education and testing implications, and ran the maintenance department at a sand mining and processing plant.
