When are groceries supposed to get prohibitively expensive?

[vraiblonde]

I appreciate your comment but I don't appreciate being lied about regarding a post I didn't make. Until it retracts that comment the "ad nauseum" post will be addressed to it.

....sorry

Well she's not going to retract it. Everyone on here knows you're right and she's wrong. We all know she spouts off with BS that has no basis in reality. The only person you're trying to defend yourself to is....her. And she's not going to budge because she can out-crazy you any day. She's a professional.

That is potential for a feature on the forums to be added to the account information. You already get to see whom, if any, you have on ignore, how about an "Ignored by" selection?

I'm pretty sure everyone I have on ignore knows it.

I attended the tech center in prior to starting my career in the automotive repair field. At the same time, I was in a pre-college/advanced placement curriculum at my local high school. Most of the kids I attended class with looked down on me for also learning a trade. Most of my educators also enjoyed teasing the "techie" because they felt physical labor made someone a lesser person. There will always be a stigma I'm afraid.

I was an aircraft mechanic in the Navy. I had a knack for cars and trucks, working on my squadron mates' and neighbors' cars, I transitioned to flipping vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) during and after going to Spartan in Tulsa for my A&P certificate. I worked at McDonnell-Douglas for several years, then moved back to San Diego, went to automotive tech school to try to get the education and fill in the gaps in my knowledge base.

20 years later, after acquiring 2 associates degrees and a baccalaureate - working in the auto repair business the whole while - I transitioned to the white collar world.

I rarely interacted with people who'd never worked with their hands, didn't understand those who did, and in many cases, looked down on those of us who had.

I was even advised to down-play my time as an auto mechanic, but perversely, I actually took pleasure on letting the snobs know my background.

So yeah, long way to say: you are correct; the stigma will always be there.

I doubt they would deign to enter your RV but these restaurants that are being raided are not where the people who clean toilets are working.

The restaurant industry and the food supply chain as well as construction will all be the hardest hit since Americans aren't willing to do those jobs.

If they do convince American's to take these jobs the wages will be raised and then the cost of goods. It's pretty easy to see whats coming.

1) your ilk have been repeating that ad-nauseum since the '70s, at least. I mean, it was in the mid-'60s that Teddy Kennedy and his cabal decided that what America needed was tons and tons of low-wage, poorly-educated, no-load brown people to make up for the fact that whites as a demographic comprised close to 90% of the population.

Oh, and ignore the fact that generationally, Americans have been brain-washed into believing that blue collar work is beneath them.

2) thanks for admitting that the reason you and your fellow lefties want to import brown people is for the near-slave labor.

I don't want to put you on ignore because you frequently have interesting things to say and I don't want to miss them. Just that that particular ad nauseum post isn't one of them.

Yea that

Only person I have on ignore is Greg, but that's because I can't understand a damn thing he posts.

I have a thought on that. Based on several of his posts it seems that he had a career in law enforcement, I think his final position might have been as the narcotic evidence custodian.

Are you serious? Here it's like $5/lb for ground chuck.

Why would there be that big a difference between states? That's crazy.

Well, all that stuff has to be imported here to the Big Island of Southern Maryland. You know, like Hawaii.

FYI... one of the largest ranch in the US is the Parker Ranch on the island of Hawaii.

Surprising was the fact that when I lived in Honolulu in the late 60's -early 70's beef from the ranch was higher than the beef from the main land.

But when they pulled back on that yoke and nothing happened, final thoughts................ I wished I would have kissed his ass.

Well, I'll keep posting my text... sorry that it offends you.

It reads them.

Its gets moist with your every post, that's how trolls roll.

See, and I get him. His odd references, his scattered communication style....it's from all those years living with Larry Gude, I can put bits of seemingly unrelated dialog together to understand what the person is saying.

I like Greg. I just don't usually respond.

Dude, you are teaching a pig to sing ... that POS is NEVER going to answer you

I get some of Greg's stuff, but alot goes over my head. Also, I've run across Greg 3 or 4 times in the dirt world and he is a great guy. Of all the people out here that need ignoring, its surprising that you ignored Greg.

Had nothing to do with liking or disliking, was just going nuts trying to figure out what he was saying, said I dont have time to decode it.

How exactly do you do that? take a guess at who they are and walk up to them and say “I’m Grumpy “.

You're missing some hilarious wit

He's been selling stuff in the classifieds. Respond to something and go say HI!

Worked when I did that to TPD.

 

[frequentflier]

I've met Greg and his wife and they are nice folks. I don't always "get" his posts but he is funny, nonetheless. I wish I had that much imagination
