First one was my old man's favorite! His father/my grandfather's favorite: "If the hound didn't stop to take a *****, it would have got the fox." Pretty simple, but kinda deep too! 😆 Also... My father (died in 2019) probably couldn't find the escape key on a keyboard but since day one knew: "Facebook is nothing more than front porch gossip." 😆... He was blind the last 20 years of his life, lived on NPR. 😲😯😉

A week? My uncontrolled ass would have blown through that in a day! 🤭😁

Boy this is a shock! /sarcasm

Holy Moly! 😆

Awesome! Someone else likes the sugary cereals! 😃😊

Actually... I will share my secret, not so secret. Always make a simple syrup. Put the sugar in boiling water and stir until dissolved. The sugar will stay in suspension... That's how I make my lemonade. You can let the syrup cool and use later, just remember how many parts water and sugar it is. I usually just keep it 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar... Then the rest is filled in with plain water and lemons that the recipe calls for. 😋 😋 😋

Say they did run out of "steak" would they offer a refund? I guess starting a riot is a bit harsh... 😏

1. Fraken Berry by a mile because of: "Franken Poop" https://www.fatherly.com/health-science/franken-berry-stool-medical-condition/ The rest of the best, in the far distance: 2. Froot Loops 3. Frosted Flakes 4. Lucky Charms 5. Grape-Nuts... Because man can't live on sugary cereals alone... And who didn't like Euell Gibbons: https://www.mashed.com/371854/the-untold-truth-of-grape-nuts/ Introduced as an alternative to coffee ☕️in the morning🌄...

Yup. Taking it personal. One of the "4 Agreements." "Don’t Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering." No good deed goes unpunished. 🤭😁

WTF... Is a "Korean Drama?"

When they threw the ***** at him. Honorable mention: Every time he loses and acts like a sore loser. Never gracious in defeat... Too numerous to mention.

I would have been 4 years old. You're sick! 😉 😜

RIP... Was 81.

Goats doing goat things. Even baby goats... If only Trent Edwards or JP Losman were this good and dinking and dunking, feeling the pressure on the backside!

In "The Troubles." Today falls on a Sunday... "I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long? How long must we sing this song? How long, how long? 'Cause tonight, we can be as one Tonight..." Derry, Northern Ireland 1972...

I guess this was before her time Downstate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1888 It's the reason why we build so well today... Like power lines in the ground, building codes, etc... Why we are so progressive... "The Great Blizzard of 1888, Great Blizzard of '88, or the Great White Hurricane (March 11–14, 1888) was one of the most severe recorded blizzards in American history. The storm paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine, as well as the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Snow fell from 10 to 58 inches (25 to 147 cm) in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet (15 m). Railroads were shut down and people were confined to their homes for up to a week. Railway and telegraph lines were disabled, and this provided the impetus to move these pieces of infrastructure underground. Emergency services were also affected. ..."

Yeah. Agree. Buy they gotta call that on Tampa! ^^^^^^ If they call this in Tampa... Bills played Chiefs in Orchard Park NOT KC!

EPA....Too... 😉... Don't think they can even do it now. Dump road snow in Lake.

Big thing is... If they just called the blatant holds in the Tampa game... The Buffalo/KC game is in Orchard Park... Then on top of it...Refs give KC a fresh set of downs on a 3rd down stop in RedZone because of an away from the play ticky tacky jersey pull... Leading directly to Chiefs second TD! They kick FG there.. Hmmm?

My father coming home from VA doc appointment. Stuck with his Chevy wagon under the viaduct @ Broadway and Union in Cheektowaga. Lady stopped and blocked everything. Amazing cars getting stuck on slight grades like that. He spent better part of a week @ Fork's Hotel. He was pissed. He just wanted to stay rolling and the car stopped inexplicably near the Broadway/Union viaduct. That was the problem... Most were rear-wheeled driven vehicles. Got stuck on slightest grades, especially without snows or studded tires on! Then everyone behind them is down. The storm would swallow the abandoned vehicles making plow efforts even harder...

Lake Erie froze over exceptionally early that year. Mid-December... Most of the snow that caused the Blizzard was sitting on the Lake and blew off. Kinda crazy to think about it. Only like a foot of new snow fell... But drifts were like 30 feet high. It'd probably never happened again... From the simplest things like picking up your work paycheck... Now it would be Direct Deposit... People couldn't access cash, even when they got out, etc... We are so much more redundant today. Even front-wheel drive cars make it easier along with the plethora of SUVs... Problem was, the rear-wheel dinosaurs would get stuck, abandoned and then block others... Then storm would bury it all. I honestly don't think it would happen again like it did then... Even if the same conditions would strike. Better systems in place today. ^^^^ Where does that guy with shovel think he's off to? 😆 🤣 😂 He'd be better off waiting till April! 😆 🤣 😂
