IT’S FRIDAY; RELAX A LITTLE

Granted, everybody comes here to catch up on all things political. It’s OK, I’m with that. But after spending hours and hours immersed in the corruption and depravity that we are mired in, it’s therapeutic to take a step back and just chill. These posts don’t elicit any response but hopefully somebody might get a smile.

Tonight’s feast at the bunkhouse features some sweet corn donated by somebody I work with. He has a farmer friend who has a bounty of it. We had corn for supper every night during the summer and what we didn’t sell Granny would freeze so we had produce all winter. We planted two different strains, one a 65 day hybrid and the other a 90 day brand. The trick was to plant 10-12 rows at a time, wait a week then plant another 10 rows. This yielded a fresh crop all season instead of having it all ripen at once. My grandfather was not an educated man, didn’t have a degree in horticulture or know anything about organic vegetables. He just worked damn hard and could grow anything. To him, mealtime was a celebration  of  God’s grace and our ability to bring such goodness from the earth.

We didn’t have a lot of material  possessions, our meals didn’t have any fancy sauces or names you couldn’t pronounce. But nobody enjoyed fresher food prepared with more love. We had each other and in the end that was all we needed.

ON WITH THE SILLINESS

    Share tampons, keep the cubicle clean, and NEVER laugh at a fart: Women reveal their ‘unspoken rules’ for using a public restroom

    IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO FIGURE OUT THE REASON WOMEN GO TO THE BATHROOM TOGETHER IS TO GOSSIP ABOUT WHOEVER ISN’T THERE
    One of the most agreed-upon rules seemed to be that it is unacceptable to let a woman – even a stranger – walk out of the bathroom with a wardrobe malfunction.

    ‘If you see a lady with her skirt tucked into the back of her underwear, you have to say something before she leaves the restroom,’ wrote one user. ‘Even if you don’t know her; even if she is a b****.’

    Another Redditor agreed, adding that the same rule applied to women who trail toilet paper on the bottoms of their shoes.
    But most importantly? Never hold out on saving the day with a much-needed feminine hygiene product.
    I KNOW EVERYTHING I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TAMPONS…. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

      This website tends to choke my older puter, so I’ll take your word on the contents, Pete. Just wondering if anyone mentioned the rule I learned when I was hugely pregnant, which is “Hugely pregnant women get pushed to the front of the line.”

      I experienced such a wonderful sense of BTDT camaraderie when I went into a public restroom one time, moaned over the LONG line, until one of the ladies noticed my ginormous belly and said, “Pregnant women here!” I got pushed to the front. It was way cool.

      When you’ve got a baby squashing your bladder, you just can’t hold much and peeing your own pants is not unheard of. One common question when a woman’s water kinda breaks is, “Is this IT … or did I just pee my pants again?” When it really breaks, you know, cuz you’re suddenly standing in a small pond with liquid sloshing out your shoes, but it doesn’t always go all at once.

      Female Body Fluids Details Posted As A Public Service To Pete. Bwahahaha!

      True … mostly to chat … but also women also go in pairs for safety and to hold the doors shut for each other cuz the locks don’t always work and to hold each other’s purses cuz they don’t give you a shelf inside the stall and, oh lots of reasons guys just have no idea about. There’s way more to being a lady than that tampon video reveals … and that video reveals a lot! I have been wondering how well Dearest would’ve done after a wife and 3 daughters. My guess is … poorly. He didn’t wanna know! LOL

    Woman, 24, Nabbed For Theft Of “Glass Vibrator Valued At $24.99,” Police Report
    THAT WAS QUICK…TWO LINKS IN AND I’VE ALREADY CRASHED AND BURNED
    Meet Vanquesia Hatisha Lowe.

    The 24-year-old Floridian was arrested Saturday after she stashed a “glass vibrator” in her purse and walked out of a Spencer’s gift shop at a Vero Beach mall, cops charge.

    After entering the store, Lowe “went to the adult section in the back,” where she “selected a glass vibrator valued at $24.99.” She then allegedly removed the sex toy from its packaging and placed the item in her purse.
    AT LEAST SHE DIDN’T TRY TO HIDE IT SOMEPLACE ELSE!

      I knew a jeweler who had a shoplifter take the diamond ring to the ladies and put it where the tampons go … and she was at that time when she needed tampons too. She got caught and the ring went into evidence. He said by the time the trial was over, the ring style was out of fashion. But, you know, he could reset the stone or something, right? Ew … not until it was CLEANED. They just took it out of her and put it in the evidence bag and left it there for however long it took. He was like, “I don’t suppose you guys could just KEEP it?”

    MATT KROCZALESKI COMES OUT AS A TRANSGENDER,LIVING AS BOTH A MAN AND A WOMAN

    In a perfect world I could snap my fingers and go back and forth at will but of course that world does not exist,” Kroc wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday. “That being said if I am forced to pick a gender I identify with more it is female. However, this really isn’t about me being a boy or a girl or something in between. This is just about me being me, who I am and who I know myself to be.”

    Kroc, 42, wrote on Instagram that she is hoping to wait until her three children finish high school before fully transitioning. She described her current state as
    genderfluid”.

    • Wow. THIS is what a tranny inevitably looks like in the real world: a big, beefy guy in a dress. All this supermodel perfect-pout airbrushed BS is resulting in completely unrealistic expectations of tranny beauty, and I’m frankly astonished that mewling SJWs who are so RIGHTEOUSLY offended at the pulchritudinous lies of Glamour and Vogue would so readily absorb those same impossible standards for Cailtyn and Laverne Cox.

      The two best films about trannies are “Normal” with the amazing Tom Wilkinson, and “Transparent” with the amazing Jeffrey Tambor, neither of whom could ever pass as women in front of fifteen blind guys in a dark alley on a stormy night. With their backs turned. And blindfolds.

      And I feel sorry for Kroc the first time (s)he shops for groceries as Matilda. Even if all the other patrons are perfectly polite and supportive, he’ll know in his heart that they’re all silently judging him, and that’s the feeling he’ll get in every store for the rest of his life.

      The honeymoon transition period is lollipops and roses; it’s the rest of your life that’s daunting.

    Hilarious moment TV reporter breaks into hip hop dance – but presenters in studio left embarrassed when they attempt it
    Walter Morris, of Fox News, overheard audio technician playing the track
    In-production crew were so impressed by dancing, they replayed it later
    Efforts were more impressive than efforts of St Louis morning news team
    This is the hilarious moment a news reporter broke into the dance routine for the hit single ‘Watch Me’ (Whip/Nae Nae) during a commercial break.

    Dressed in a smart suit, tie and white shirt, Walter Morris overheard the audio technician playing the track during an advert and showed off his dance moves.

    Jets DE Sheldon Richardson busted for allegedly driving 143 mph, resisting arrest
    GIVE A THUG MILLIONS,HE’S STILL A THUG

    Richardson was suspended for the first four games of this season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, reportedly for marijuana use. On Thursday, as the Jets started training camp, there was a story out of St. Louis that Richardson was clocked for allegedly driving 143 miles per hour and then resisting arrest via a high-speed chase on July 14.
    The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said Richardson was clocked at that speed in his 2014 Bentley Silver Spur, then “increased his speed, drove off the highway, and sped through a traffic light to try to get away” when officers tried to stop his car. There was a 12-year-old in the car, and two other adults, the report said. Richardson eventually complied with officers’ demands to get out of the vehicle and he was arrested.

    Cops: Man buys car after taking $150,000 left by ATM workers
    NOT EXACTLY A MENSA CANDIDATE

    Alton Harvey, 42, of Hillside, was arrested Wednesday after police traced a white van that was captured on surveillance video pulling up to the bag of cash that the ATM employees forgot outside a business in Mahwah, in northern New Jersey, on Monday. The video showed a passenger in the van grabbing the bag.
    Harvey said he was driving the van and told detectives that a Chevrolet Tahoe was purchased with cash from the bag soon after it was grabbed, Police Chief James Batelli said in a news release. The SUV, which has a starting sticker price of $46,000, was parked near the van.

    Air passenger suing for a back injury ’caused by sitting next to obese man’

    A man is suing an airline after claiming that he has suffered back pain since he was sat next to an obese man on a flight

    James Andres Bassos said that during an Etihad Airways flight from Sydney to Dubai, he was forced to contort his body for long periods because of the “grossly overweight” person in the next seat.

    He told a court in Brisbane, Australia, that the man was spilling into his seat, coughing frequently and had fluid coming from his mouth, according to a report by the Australian Associated Press.
