I have made more REAL friends on this forum than I've made anywhere.
I still love it...it's just not as active because of all the other social media. But the conversation is REAL here.

Love you guys.


Love you too Sweetie

Social media is making people unsociable or anti-social. There are many many articles about it all over the internet. DRTV IMHO is more sociable.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

The only real reason I haven't ditched FB is because of the easier access to some family and close friends that live away from me. It's just easier than emails, and I don't do skype or facetime etc.

I am in one cast iron cooking/coffee chat group that has a low number of members who genuinely seem to be a good group of folks who get along without the usual BS found in FB groups (one of the admins is friends with Marshal and M'ette and doesn't put up with crap). They remind me of the core group on here.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I thought the server has issues for a day or 2.
The time for action is upon us and the enemy is at our gates. Let us not allow them one more inch of advancement but instead throw them through the gates of Hell.

The only thing I use fb is screening new employees.  You would be amazed at what idiots post online.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

I have been out for over a week with a series of nasty colds that I still cannot seem to kill. Been over 20 years since I went to the Dr. for a cold. The g/f went into ICU and emergency surgery last Tuesday with cold/infection.  While out of ICU now, still in isolation as they cannot figure out what the infection IS. So, I will probably still be sparse for a while.
