This is interesting to me as a convo (thanks Terp) so I had to look some things up.

So it looks like Terp is right

And don't wear the flag unless it's a shirt with a picture of the flag.

Oh dear.

I'll go get my Boot Scoot sewing patterns out of storage.

Terp knows his...stuff.

As well he should.

It's his job. Has been for nearly three and a half decades now...

More news... Isn't this special...

Upstop,

I'm not 'liking' that, not because you personally, or the informative post-

I don't like the information.

(Pssst- law enforcemenr, check the relatives' rec room basements.)

Edit: Whhops! Looks like it was already figured out!

Cary on, nothing to see here.

Wouldn't father-in-law have some problems if he knows where she is but helps keep her hidden?

Wouldn't you think he's now also a flight risk?

Terp, who likes to ask questions.

Some things you should just keep to your bowling buddies, if that. Facebook for me is to just 'ooh' and 'aah' over other peoples' dogs, and in like, let them 'ooh' and 'aah' over mine.Who the heck puts their bathtub soak thoughts where everyone can see them? In a way, it's good to know his inner Hyde.

.I'm all for freedom of speech, but which job you choose is up to you, and if the job has a social media policy, follow it. There's a reason.

Also- sorry if I can't get this to hyperlink, but an article on the AR-15 and gun owners' reaction to it.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2016/0617/What-AR-15-owners-say-about-their-guns-and-the-Orlando-shooting

It shines a light on why people like them, And at least opens a door on their reasoning.I'm in the camp that 1) thinks it is ugly, 2) it's like using a cannon to kill a flea, 3) cannot understand some of the interviewees' appreciation of it, 4) do not want.

WTF?

My thoughts on this are exactly why we don't allow political posts on here...

Only news because the media is trying to get a story, easy clickbait headline to get the media clicks.

Please let's not politicize this. Remember the victims. 

That's the thing...it is political, it is newsworthy as well. Just has no place here.

About every other post in this thread is political.

The older I get, the more it seems like just about everything can be politicized.  Especially at my work.  From now until after the election, it's probably going to get really interesting.

 

That's why it's so nice to get on here and read about footings, funnel cakes, and which is the best seat to ride in a certain ride.
