MONTED: "Hi My Friend I hope all is well and your keeping cool." (smiling wink face)
Then I asked him what was new.
MONTED: "Not much new here just keeping all my gardens watered we are having a real bad drought here, so I am even having to water large trees on the property. Other than that been eating home grown veggies and having a great time! How is your wife and family mate? I always loved reading your posts on syd you seem like a real nice guy and I wish you and yours all the best!" (smiley face)
I would have never shared this if he had said anything that looked like it should be kept private. It sounds to me like he's eating well and he's happy. I have no idea what his water bill is. I wish I knew what he grew. Does anybody here know? Squash or carrots? What? I asked him but have not heard back from him yet. That site goes down sometimes.
Benefits of hugging
Hugging is a natural instinct for all species; when a mother is absent, most zoos offer the newborn anim@l a substitute to snuggle with – whether it be a stuffed anim@l or a surrogate mom – because the b@by craves physical contact. The same is true for humans – have you ever noticed that b@bies sometimes cry just because they want to be held?
Whether you are a hugger or not, these examples should convince you to start hugging your chi!d more often:
According to an article in Scientific American, some chi!dren from deprived surroundings, such as orphanages, have different hormone levels than chi!dren who were raised by parents. In one study, the stress hormone cortisol was much higher in chi!dren from orphanages.
In another study, chi!dren who experienced affection deprivation at a young age still had lower levels of oxytocin and vasopressin (hormones that have been linked to emotion and social bonding) even after spending years in a family home.
The Touch Research Institute found that teens have less anxiety, feel less hostile and parents perceive less aggressive attitudes when the teens had received a therapeutic touch – like massage.In the hospital, parents are encourage to hold their newborns who are in intensive care because it has been proven to improve vital signs and it also lowers the parents stress levels.
Need some more benefits? Hugging has been proven to…
Make us feel good because “the cuddle hormone” is released when we hug.
Helps us build relationships because the “social bondng” hormone is released when we hug.
Lower BL00D pressure.Significantly reduce worry about mortality.
Decreases the feeling of loneliness instantly.
Don’t put off showing affection.
Let's hear it for Ants, ... mabybe????
It sounds better said then it reads.
Does anyone remember the milk man? Is there any such service like this now? I'm curious to know?
I also remember having milk vending machines on street corners,where you could purchase a quart of milk any time of the day!
There are still some areas here in the north east that still have daily door to door milk deliveries,But they are fading fast.
As a matter of fact I recently came across an old Milk box when doing a renovation on a hold home! Brought back a lot of memories!
Back then the milk was always in glass bottles and some times in the winter they would freeze and shatter if you didn't get them soon enough after they were delivered.
When I was a wee lad, my family used to go to a local dairy shop to buy our milk. We had to bring our own bottles.
We had eight bottles but because money was tight at the time, we'd take four bottles to get filled and keep four empties at home. My folks would buy a box of powdered milk and one of my first chores was making enough powdered milk to mix with the whole milk in order to fill all eight bottles...to stretch the supply out.
We stored them in a refrigerator in the basement.
Do you remember the the old milk cans? they were about 36 inches tall about 12 inches in diameter had two handles for lifting and a big heavy lid!You see them on peoples porches and planters these days.
Holy schnikey! I might just dig around in their basement for treasures!
Prices vary depends on the age,condition and weather or not they are labeled or not, just a quick scan and i seen several sets of them from 300.00 up to 1000.00,those seem to be the rare occasion though they average from 2.00 up to around 45.00/50.00

We revel in the joy of the Rainbow flag that flies high and proud here in South Beach. Hell the Funky Budda (a gay bar) brews some of the best beer around. Why so much hatred towards the Confederate flag Uni. Hell you might even of had ancestors that faught in the Civil War. But you do your thing. The anger you have will only make you angry at yourself in the long run.
Historically, that flag was raised in 1961 over the South Carolina capitol to mark the centennial of the Civil War. It was left there as a statement against desegregation--a national movement which many southern states, and southern WHITES, violently opposed.
Segregation is the separation of people based upon a specific trait.
For the case in question, that specific trait was RACE.
The specific race which those people wished to segregate was BLACK.
The desire to keep people segregated based upon their race is called RACISM.
A stance against desegregation is, therefore, a RACIST stance.
A flag used to symbolize that racist stance would be, by logical progression, a RACIST SYMBOL.
So...like any non-racist...I am quite pleased to see such a racist symbol removed from a government building.

"At this day and age for people to still be calling gay and lesbians derogatory names. For people to call black people niggers. For people to call rednecks, trailer trash. Until we all start calling each other Americans, this country will always be divided.
You and you and I, we are Americans and we are Americans with different views and opinions. Let's embrace as well as respect our differences.
Let me see if I can explain what *I think* his position is using a different example; let's say you are part of a crew of folks that is building a bridge. Let's just say while under construction, the bridge collapses causing many injuries and deaths to the work crew. Now there's a fortunate crew member that speaks with reporters saying "it was sad that I lost my buddies but I told the damn foreman that his plan was not going to work." The fact remains that the coworkers death was a tragedy. Period. End. It was not the platform for him to point fingers. I hope my analogy made sense and as I said, that's what I took away from his response to you.
I hope that you both are able to move beyond this exchange of words.
Your post starts out like so many of their "news" reports do:
You take a genuine news item as the lead, mouth the appropriate sympathies for the victims and their families, and then launch into an unrelated diatribe against Obama.
It's incredibly disingenuous, and leads to the "set up" that anyone who disagrees with 90% of your comment is also disagreeing with the initial statement. It's the Right Wing rhetorical trap.
OF COURSE the deaths of those soldiers was tragic. Any sane person would feel the same. The man who killed them was an evil dirt-bag. Rational people the world over would agree.
However, the cliched anti-Obama nonsense has nothing to do with the tragedy itself. In fact, including it to make a political statement actually TARNISHES the initial statement of loss and grief about the deaths of those unfortunate soldiers. In a way, it is disrespectful of their sacrifice and service.
Notice, by the way, that I did not call you any names in my comment.
I have nothing but the greatest respect for anyone who served/serves in the military. Those who make the ultimate sacrifice of their lives can never be adequately repaid, and deserve to be honored.
That aside, though, your whole Obama rant has absolutely nothing at all to do with the deaths of the soldiers in Tennessee. The President wasn't there. Need I remind you that 9/11 happened on W's watch? Is he to be blamed for that tragedy?
I have EVERY right to say as much "shit" as I want. After all, the Constitution gives me that right.
(For the record, btw, I am really not an "idiot". For example, I know the difference between "your" and "you're". Only a real idiot would make that mistake.)
Blame Obama.
EVERYTHING is his fault.

And it's funny that you get upset when I blame the state of terrorism in this country on Obama. But it was Obama himself standing there in front of the microphone 3 weeks ago. Blaming the killings at the S. Carolina church on the Rebel flag.

Your a pathetic little lonely man. That's had his back up against the wall his whole life. And your to weak to show actions. So you THINK you can elevate yourself above the rest and at the expense of others with your words. Words do not change the world. Words do not make this a better country. Actions do. So get out of your lonely house and take action. I'm sure you don't want your legacy to be remembered as A Mouth Full Of Words.
I didn't "get upset" about anything. My replies were not emotional at all. I merely pointed out--in a reasonable and logical fashion--that spending one sentence of your original post to mourn the tragic loss of life of those soldiers before launching into a lengthy(and unrelated) anti-Obama tirade was very disingenuous.

In response to the mean-spirited part you added after I posted the above:
I'm not lonely at all. I've been in a committed and loving relationship for well over 20 years. I have a great family and a large circle of friends.I also have a dog who is rather fond of me.
If you feel that i am trying to elevate myself "above the rest and at the expense of others with (my) words", that is something that you have inferred from my comments, and not my intent. That part is on you.
However, you are very wrong about the "Words do not change the world" part. The Declaration of Independence is WORDS. The US Constitution is WORDS. The Magna Carta is WORDS. They all changed the world...

Again Fuck You
My second post also expresses my sympathy and respect for America's troops. (Go ahead and reread it.) See?
All of your comments did EXACTLY what I was talking about in my first post. You've gone to great lengths here to insult and verbally abuse me because I pointed out that the anti-Obama rant you posted makes your sympathetic statement about the soldiers seem like an after-thought. I don't doubt that you meant it. You just failed to make it the MAIN point of your comment, which takes the focus off of the tragedy itself--giving your statement less impact.
Now that you have vented your rage at me and called me names:
Do YOU feel better now?
Yes, Bush should be blamed for 9/11 (I'm Libertarian and same-gender-attracted and have no allegiances toward consvatives or liberals). He, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and many others were likely directly involved, complicit, or at least had foreknowledge of events that would occur. Time ad plenty of information pretty much bears out the proof of that. And still they are not held accountable. The invasion of Iraq was predicated on lies; an invasion probably would have happened by now anyway, but f it was going to happen, at the time it should have been swift, decisive and brutal...because that is all those people in the Middle East understand - including Israel - I am not a fan of the deceit and lies coming from their political machine either.
Obama continues the lies; from renewing the Patriot Acts; implementing the NDAA; Jade-Helm; not closing Guantanamo and perpetuating the same ****-for-oil policies that destroyed the credibiity of the USA around the world.
But it didn't just all come about recently.
Our country was lost in 1913 the minute Woodrow Wilson sold us out to the bankers and the Federal Reserve.
In our present society and world, allegiance to party - for Party's sake - is a fools folly. It's time we throw both major parties OUT...it's clear they both serve the same masters, and we suffer because of it.
Finally, Unicorn...Countryboy is a man of action, you are a man of words (clearly evident by the amount of time and energy you spend HERE and in your other writings). Perhaps you should consider spending more time with your loved ones, family and friends rather than living in this fantasyland...you bragged about not lacking real human contacts, but they clearly take a back seat to your true love, which is your words, of which there seems to be NO end in sight ad mauseum. Give us a break.
You usually don't get this chatty unless anal sex is being mentioned, PRF.
"Give US a break"? How awesome that you see yourself as spokes-PRF for all of the members of the site. When was that election held?
Many of our men and women who served courageously, but unfortunately have suffered life altering results.
Our government support system for addressing those issues is sadly inadequate.
Many of our solders are waiting, and waiting for much needed care.
I DO hold Obama solely responsible for that.
Those individuals should have the upmost priority.
For the record, I was not arguing politics. I was arguing against disingenuous propaganda.

GROUP HUG!
How can you pinpoint that you've been a geek since 1956?
"When horses are fed oats, they tend to behave more energetically afterward. So if a horse is said to be "feeling his oats" it refers to energetic prancing around the field, or more assertive or excited behavior, and may be literally due to diet. When people are said to be "feeling their oats", it is because the same kind of behavior (higher energy,enthusiasm, assertiveness, or excitement) is observed, even though other causes may be assumed."
And a Unicorn ain't nuthin but a fancy horse with a horn!
