The Coffee House

[jcdeboever]

Each day is a gift. I thank the Good Lord every morning I wake up. I do have a re-accuring dream where I am dead but don't think I am and I am walking around trying to talk to people and they're not listening to me..... Oh wait, I'm awake...

Well I'm an American of German, Polish and Irish background. Great great or even great great great is as far back as it goes. Therefore my frame of reference is squarely American. For the most part I believe in live and let live. But I also believe a B2 stealth bomber should pulverize where ever the N. Korean leader is. And for that matter the leadership of Iran.

Well, I wouldn't even go that far for N. Korea. But I am fairly certain there are Iranians who don't love the leader and would make decent Americans.

The problem with your argument is that you're assuming Americans are the definition of "fine" or "decent".

Anybody can be an American ... it is more of a state of mind, a conscience and deliberate acceptance of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, than a place of birth or being handed a piece of paper.

Believe it or not, but your average Ruskie is very Americani-like in attitudes, humor and ethics.

And that's as far as this conversation will get in this particular public forum, thankyouverymuch!

With peace and love, peace and love.

LOL I get that from my wife sometimes!

I agree with you on the gift, didn't see it so much till we realized there might be a limit to the future.

Not to make this a religious post but for those of us who believe in the bible the potential lifespan was far greater than today. Rather then disbelieve they actually lived that long, I believe it's a combination mutation (genes) and the pollution of our world. Maybe the human species mutated to a shorter lifespan because we couldn't live for 100's of years anyhow.

Everyone needs to do what is best for him or herself when it comes to health. People are not one size (or diet or medicine or philosophy...) fits all. It's great when someone finds what works for them and they feel their best. What I dislike is when that someone decides that it will also work the same way for others and becomes very preachy about it.

And for the record, I really am not talking about anyone here. I'm speaking generally about people I've met over the years.

Some have suggested that there was some sort of water vapor canopy around the earth prior and it had a green house effect, shielding off radiation, eleiminating disease. The great flood may have destroyed this layer. Other thoughts were expressed as well.

Come on, folks - no religion or politics allowed here. I don't want the inspectors to close us down.

 

[snowbear116 47]

Change in the travel plans - we are going to wait until tomorrow morning to head out so as much of this storm can get past. I looked at the PA Turnpike traffic cam's and the roads seem to be fine.

@jcdeboever: I don't know what kind of time we'll have (probably darned little) but I'll send out a shout when we get in the area.

You've been a travelin' fool lately, Charlie!

Yeah, but they aren't all pleasure trips; this one is a funeral.

Who, the coffee inspectors? I had pumpkin spice and I confess, I DID NOT GRIND THE BEANS! Yes, I took the easy way out and bought it medium grind.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Sorry for the reason you're traveling Charlie, and for having to deal with any drama you mentioned.

But if you and JC meet up, all I can say is that should be real interesting...

I'm a cool cat.

 

[vintagesnaps]

I'm sure it won't be boring...

Health inspectors, fire inspectors, ABC inspectors - any of them that can shut down the establishment!

The winter storm seems to have taken care of the drama (they won't go if there is snow on the ground). We're also planning to get to that general area (and Columbus, OH) this summer, for good stuff.

A new project at work, with a potential group of presentations. I'm collecting a lot of data from various sources to help assess community fire & EMS risk: property and tax records, Census data, and locations of fire stations and fire hydrants. This one is fun!
