  1. My out of state niece played club and HS soccer and would come to Texas when the big club tourneys would be in SA or Dallas.  We'd go see her play and watch teams from all over the US.  

    The Lonestar parents were, embarrassingly, the biggest douche bag A-holes there.   I'm hoping they were all CA transplants.

  2. Sent my payment out to the IRS PO Box in Charlotte, NC before the deadline.

    I noticed the check hasn't cleared my bank.  LO and BEHOE the entire envelope was returned to me by the dear USPS as "Return to Sender - Not Deliverable As Addressed."

    Went back and checked the address in Charlotte again.  The envelope was addressed to a tee as prescribed.

    So, while we're firing the IRS can we fire the USPS, too?

    Well, you gotta understand a few things.

    1 -- my parents were from the poverty class, or damned close to it.  And we were firmly lower middle class most of my life.  So, packed sandwiches on roadtrips and whatnot were the order of the day.  And our hunting camps and fishing set up were pretty damned rudimentary.  No power, water, fancy shit like that.  I stayed in a cabin that was built using leftover campaign signs from my aunt's last race for county clerk (she held the office for 20 years).  Not fancy, but it kept out the wind and rain.

    2 -- caveat: my dad's mexican.  SO, if we were going to the beach....shit was totally different.  Mexicans don't do baloney sammiches at the beach.  Oh no, we packed up the Weber kettle grill, and bags full of marinated fajitas, ribs, and whatnot.  And dad built a good charcoal fire and grilled stuff for lunch.  We ate like kings (kings eating really cheap cuts of meat) at the beach.

    Luxury!!!! 

    I got a handful of hot gravel for supper and slept in a rolled up newspaper in the bottom of a septic tank.

    Come on man, you are fucking rookies.  For hunting, offshore fishing, or camping, you don't do it like that.  You have one cooler for food.  All food is in zip loc bags.  And you use frozen water bottles, not ice, to keep everything cold.  You're better than that.

     

    I told you I wasn't in charge of the food.  I was after that fiasco.  We ate like kings from then on.

    Former President George H.W. Bush, who just buried his wife first lady Barbara Bush on Saturday, is in intensive care, CNN has learned.

    "President Bush was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital yesterday morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood. He is responding to treatments and appears to be recovering. We will issue additional updates as events warrant," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement.
     
    Bush was admitted to the hospital on Sunday morning, he was suffering from an infection that led to sepsis, which can be life-threatening, according to a source close to the former President. He was in critical condition, the source said.

    Tough old hombre.

    It seems like saltines were the national dish of Texas in the 50's, 60's, & 70's. I remember grandpa eating them nearly every day with either peanut butter or summer sausage and cheese. 

    I love on Saltines with peanut butter and some soft, room-temp cheddar.  With a glass of milk.  

    Manna from heaven.

    Postmodernism basically.

    There is no objective truth.  Facts don’t matter.  There is no compromising. You’re either with us or against us.  There are no solutions, only problems to bitch about.

    That started before Trump.

    Hopefully we get fracturing of political parties so we can form a new type of government that isn't two-party dominated. Trumpists vs. money-conservatives, Lib-dems vs. socialists, etc...

    I, I, uh, I, uh, wow.  I find myself agreeing with you.  I'm off to have a drink or 20.

    My mom's Saturday bacon and eggs. She would clean the entire house while she cooked this meal. Hour and a half to fry the bacon, ended up looking and tasting like yesterdays campfire. Then another hour and a half for the eggs...no bacon grease left after that long, she just cracked the eggs and slow fried them. The egg white would turn green and take on the properties of 1/4" hardware cloth, and the yolk would render down to some form of Sulfa tablet. Just Awful.

    I took over the cooking duties in the 7th or 8th grade.

    Funny.  My ma would cook pork ribs in the oven.  Afeart to death that we would have undercooked pork on our plates she would cremate the danged things to the point of being nothing but crispy burnt pork adhered to the bones.  She'd then slather the remains in Kraft bbq sauce.  God, bless her.

    I hated pork ribs until I had real smoked pork ribs.

    Fuck yes it is.

    It's like some of you heathens never went fishing or hunting in the 1970s.

    Olive and pimento loaf sammiches. Vienna sausages and mustard.  Saltines and PB.  Saltines and margarine.  LIVING RIGHT, that's what that was.

    Hunting camp cuisine never fails to bring the lulz.

    We used to go up to CO to elk and mule deer hunt every year.  When we started going, the owner of the ranch where we hunted would always "take care of the food" which amounted to having his ma fry up a mess of chicken.

    Of course, he kept it on ice in an old Coleman cooler.  After the 2nd day, the ice would be melted and the fried yard bird would be floating around in the 90% melted ice.  The drunks would always forget to close the plastic bags the bird pieces were in.  

    Cold, water logged, fried chicken for the next 4 days sucked.

    We fired him from his commisary duties and soon started cooking our own stuff.

    I'm generally not picky but the two foods I detest are mayo and olives. When I was a kid, my dad's favorite sandwich was olive loaf on Wonder bread with a generous smear of mayo. Which still makes me want to hurk just reading about it. What about you?

    I had no idea my dad sired a daughter.
