  This is what irks me about the word "practical." When I got my drivers license in 1978 I wanted to buy a car. It wasn't that unusual where I lived for 16 year old kids to buy a first car a such a young age back then. Kind of a rite of passage. Anyway, I found the car I wanted. A 1968 Ford Ranchero being sold by an old guy. He had bought it new and took great care of it. If I remember correctly, it had less than 70,000 miles on it and the price was $750 dollars (about $3,000 in 2020 dollars). I had the money and earned it by mowing lawns, shoveling snow, working for farmers, and other things. This is a 1967 Ford Ranchero:

  
  

  My parents refused to let me buy it. The reason? It's not practical! A year later my parents bought a car for my use, a 1966 Ford Galaxy 500, very "practical."

  

  Any ideas why the Ranchero was not practical, but the Galaxy 500 was? Anybody? If you guessed "field service" (another jw expression) you are correct! Cars needed 4 doors for field service. Looking back, the Galaxy had a huge back seat and if I hadn't been such an indoctrinated jw youth, that huge back seat would have been very practical indeed.

  Practical.

  Buying a car? Is it practical?

  Clothes? Practical?

  Job? Practical?

  Housing? Practical?

  The list goes on and on.

  My wife seems to become more aroused with herself when seeing the My Pillow Guy on TV. Is there possible JC involvement?

  Don't throw away those Jefferson nickels. Send them to me so they will be disposed of properly. To make things easier, take them to a bank and have them counted. Then send me a cashiers check for the amount. Your welcome!

  Careful there, buddy. You are but a baby step away from saying "All Lives Matter" and if you say that, someone like this will come after you:

  This poor, dedicated, passionate woman lost her job because of this video, but her message should resonate. Don't mock BLM.

  Are You Starting To Feel Bad About Being A Racist??

  you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.

  so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??

  No. I embrace my racism and my sexism for that matter. I relish my white privilege.

  Is Anyone Happy That Police Forces Are Being Abolished or scut??

  in minneapolis, the city council has voted to abolish the police.. many cities want to either disband or defund the police.

  black lives matter and other groups have influenced citizens and neighborhoods to get rid of police and their authority.

  is anyone really supportive of removing the police or cutting out law enforcement through the budget?

  You can't make this stuff up. The taxpayers of Minneapolis are paying $4,500 A DAY for a private security firm to provide security for 3 (I think it was 3) Minneapolis City Council members. Also in Minneapolis, MPD officers were assigned to work crowd control at a Defund The Police rally. Rally organizers requested the extra police presence.

  This is probably anecdotal evidence of what will happen.

  I live about 3 hours north of Minneapolis. The house next door is for sale. Today as I was going back to work a stranger gave me a wave and walked over to my truck. He was killing some time waiting for the realtor to show the house and he asked me a few questions about the neighborhood. As we chatted I asked him where he was from. "North Minneapolis," he said. "The last couple of weeks made me and my wife realize it was time to move."

  donny trump in all his wisdom hysterically, stupidly, and of course boastfully proclaimed that a million supporters requested tickets for his much ballyhooed rally in tulsa!

  Say what you want about President Trump, and I have some heartburn with him, I have to admit that seeing a 70 something year old man deliver an almost 2 hour speech is remarkable. Vice-President Biden is what, 10 years older than Trump? I don't think Biden would have the endurance to go for 30 minutes, tops.

  I happened to see a segment on some TV show this evening and it showed a picture of President Trump arriving at the White House after the Tulsa event. His tie was off, he had his shirt unbuttoned, and he was carrying his red hat. The talking head was describing him as looking depressed and defeated. I saw a a man in his 70's who had had a long, long day. Anybody would look beat, not beaten.

  we have to get rid of these racist relics.

  i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !

  we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.
