Ask her what all the puts in it or just hover about while she's making it

A good forever resting place... they're all very hard to lose. Jilly
slept tucked in next to me every night for nineteen years, I still
miss her breath on my neck, always will. I've dug more than twenty
cat graves, all well marked, Jilly's was the hardest.

Yes, it's a big part of the MAGA culture. And trump (a genius) has
determined that you can not contract covid from butt sniffing, so
you're safe Fruce!

Nope, this was a dunce democrat. Our previous mayor (Mayor Moonbeam)
resigned as she was caught with her panties down around her ankles.
Juggling the books didn't help her case either. She was a dunce democrat,
too, with an equally dunce son who died of an overdose.

Yes, one Democrat, but nevertheless your president and Republicans in
general are known for underestimating Covid and favouring economy over
public health, thus killing thousands and thousands of people.

All of our previous mayors have been democrats. Can't meet the budget?
Let's increase property taxes instead of looking at what programs can
possibly need a bit of trimming.

You think the decision by our mayor to invite folks to come join his dumb
ass in a march for a dead thug while this Covid-19 was b.a.r.e.l.y. easing
was a smart move?? Since the marching, looting, and vandalism we've seen
an increase in cases, restaurants closing again, and businesses shutting
down since his brilliant invitation.

This stupidity can't all be laid on the Republicans doorstep.

That's a recurring political choice worldwide. There's no one answer.
Some programs can be cut, others need more funding.

You're very critical of the mayor, for good reason, but also very
forgiving of Trump's mismanagement of the Covid crisis. That's
strange.

How delightfully different from mine!

Having tasted it, do you think the Bacon can be cut down? Say, to
1/3rd a lb?

It doesn't always fit and for me, odd for a southener, rarely does here.

Vinegar in potato salad? Seems odd to me.

Bacon potato salad is major TIAD! Leave out the potatoes.

On the other hand: one misstep from a Democrat and Jo-Jo's all over
the case. A much bigger misstep from a right-winger and nobody hears a
peep from Jo-Jo. Crickets

Your country's so divided, it's come to a standstill.

The President has limited control (except his bully pulpit) over what the
states do in regard to the pandemic. He can withhold funding (directly
and indirectly via refusing to declare a place a disaster area), but
that's about it.

Look at how many governors have told him to pound sand.

If you read carefully, you'll see that her city was opening in a controlled
manner until the mayor screwed the pooch on social distancing.

My grandmother was from Virginia. Her potato salad was:

Potatoes
Onions
Celery
Miracle Whip
Vinegar
Sugar
Salt
Pepper

Then there's German potato salad, which also include vinegar. French
potato salad, which is made with a vinaigrette. And a whole raft of
other vinegared potato salades.

Even 55 years later, Sheldon *still* has nightmares of having
to cook 400 pounds of bacon each morning.

Your President still sets the tone and verbally abuses governors who
didn't want to open fast enough. Those governors were right.

The mayor of Amsterdam also allowed a BLM demonstration to happen
during the Covid crisis. She was so keen to show how politically
correct she was that she endangered public health in the process.

Stupidity is international, but Trump takes the cake.

That's when he lost his Jewish faith.

Huh?
I was in the jr. high and high school bands.
National Anthem was played using sheet music.
The sheet music shows the proper notes
(not all the extra crap that singers add)

It also shows the tempo meant to be played at.
Meant to be played a bit faster than most singers do.

Google a version played by a military band. It's not
so bad when played that way.

LOL! I love that analogy!

I remember Kate Smith. She could certainly belt out a song.
Didn't even need a microphone in a large stadium. heh heh
Somewhat irritating voice to me though. I would never
listen to a Kate Smith recording at home.

Additionally, the song Sheldon is talking about isn't the song you
were talking about.

I'd go for "America the Beautiful" despite its mention of God in
every stanza. "God Bless America" is a complete non-starter for me.

I'd probably prefer "This Land Is Your Land". It's easier to sing,
too.

Do you know nothing about your national anthem? The tune was
originally a British song entitled "To Anacreon in Heaven".

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anacreontic_Song>

I see that calling it a "drinking song" isn't quite accurate.

> I was in the jr. high and high school bands.

As was I. I probably could still pay the song from memory.

What instument did you play?
I played the cornet and I now have that back but my lip
muscles have died after 50 years. Can't even get a note
out of the darn thing. (just need to practice)

And yes, I could probably still play that from memory
too. Also all the John Phillip Sousa marches.

I was also troop bugler in Boy Scouts. I still remember
most of those bugle things.

One thing I haven't forgotten is how to read sheet
music (as applied to cornet). I still remember all the
fingering for all the notes.

Old times. I do remember in my early elementary school years,
every morning the class said the "Lord's Prayer" and the
"Pledge of Allegiance".

Don't really recall when the prayer ended but it did.
I wonder if "Pledge of Allegiance" is still said.
Never thought to ask my daughter during her school years.
Haven't asked about my grandsons either.

No one gives a crap about Tom Cruise. Why mention him?
He's just a short, unpleasant movie star.
