Thanks for finding all that information! An amusing side note - in 2007 I was part of a crew that put up a timber frame house in that area. The crane operator was John Muggli (member of the land owner family referenced in the article). I’ll never forget the man - I believe he would win the “World’s Biggest Redneck” competition if there were such a thing. He invited our crew our to his place one night “to pound some beers.” His property was filled with army surplus construction equipment. He told the story of his 8 year old boy trying to blow up a can of WD40 with a firecracker. He told the boy - that ain’t big enough! Run in the shop and grab a blasting cap from the dynamite box, but be safe and duck behind that dozer blade when you light it up! He was very proud of the welded steel grate he’d made for his front porch - “the dog can shit up here, and all I have to do is stomp it through!” The man was full of such stories- it was an interesting night:)

@zesty Your argument references the scientific method, but you jump from hypothesis to conclusion with no evidence other than your own anecdotal experience, and then extend that to the entire educational system. If you’d cited some peer reviewed studies, your argument might have more credibility. Making statements in the manner you did somewhat circumvents the scientific method that you reference. Again, “all my smart students” is another broad generalization with no real support.

I look back with nostalgia when I could run fast, could dance all night and go to work the next day.

Nice song, and I’m a Joni fan...but for 100 miles? Maybe not! 😂🤣

Can a one off act be called terrorism?

Marionville comments on Aug 5, 2019:

I think the quantity is immaterial...the anxiety produced is the criterion. The uncertainty and apprehension of where and when an attack may happen, especially when a known network has signalled that it intends to kill certain groups of people. The fact that this network is not an organised ...

@powder I think the US over reacted to the 9/11 attacks, but I don’t see how “thoughts and prayers” is an over reaction to years of random violence.

Haemish1 replies on Aug 5, 2019:

I took bagpipe lessons for a brief time, and remember learning a tune that was only titled Scots Wha Hae Wi Wallace. My instructor had no idea what it meant - I never thought to google it since the internet became a thing. Thanks for clueing me in:)

Why is Mitch McConnell still in office? He's a useless political hack.

Has anyone had sex in Dr. office?

Wildflower comments on Aug 4, 2019:

I can't even imagine a doctor zipping down a fly, never mind reaching in and grabbing a dick for inspection. Does that happen in the US guys? No doctor would do that to examine a female.

Haemish1 replies on Aug 4, 2019:

Never had one pull down my fly. I did have an older, female doctor examine me a CDL. She said beforehand, that she enjoyed performing those exams, and didn’t seem at all shy when looking for hernia problems.

I don't know when or where she said this (assuming it's a valid quote) but I love it.

Make manufacturers financially liable for the amount of carnage a weapon is capable of. The more rounds per minute the higher the payout to victims. Get insurance companies involved and watch gun ownership laws change!!

Haemish1 replies on Aug 4, 2019:

Each individual gun owner should be required to provide proof of training, insurance and a trigger lock that only that person can use before purchasing a gun.

Basically starting over again.

Haemish1 comments on Aug 4, 2019:

I was told by one woman that it takes about a year to adapt to deal with a divorce. I probably should have waited that long to date again. Now that it’s been 3 years, I’m starting to wonder if I’ll even have a date again.

Haemish1 replies on Aug 4, 2019:

@UrsiMajor Absolutely- each person needs to figure out what works for themself, but those are probably good rules of thumb. I certainly needed better judgment with the woman I became involved with.

I actually don't use toilet paper .. I use a wash cloth... It's much more hygienic... And it's environment conscious... You just need to wash it thoroughly after every use...

Haemish1 replies on Aug 4, 2019:

Apparently the ancient Romans used a scrub brush of sorts in their communal toilets. After each use the brush was cleaned with vinegar. I’m not sure of your claim that a wash cloth is more hygienic, although it’s definitely more environmentally conscious.

LiterateHiker comments on Aug 3, 2019:

The dog was on the attack: running, growling and barking at the officer. I don't blame him. The dog owner was lying on the ground in the line of fire. The officer was looking at the dog, not the sleeping, homeless dog owner. It was an accident. I have been attacked by eight, unleashed dogs ...

@LenHazell53 I’m not a gun owner, but here in Montana and other states with grizzly bears and cougars, it’s pretty common for people to carry guns when hiking - it is a bit of a cultural thing here.

I think the results would have been much the same. Weren’t the beliefs and motives of the Portuguese mostly the same as Spain’s?

Back in the late 90s I worked for a small company that made animal radio tracking collars. Remember Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins where they would tag some animal and follow it's radio signals to learn where it spent its time? We probably made the tracker. In America it was interesting to talk...

Haemish1 replies on Aug 3, 2019:

Oh yes! Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I can still hear Marlin Perkins narration “while Jim wrestles the giant alligator, I stay back st the campsite to prepare the gin and tonics.” The joke in Montana is - how can you tell the difference between grizzly and black bear scat? Grizzly scat has the little bells in it.

Just for you, as I can't handle the stuff anymore....sob!

Haemish1 replies on Aug 2, 2019:

If you’re referring to the top 40 format, sounds like bad pop music only with multiple references to beer, trucks and fishin - I have to agree. I do have some favorites that fall in the country genre but never get radio air time and are worth at least a listen to.

There are those in Islam who don't allow music to be played other than the song of prayer, so maybe she's right... or more likely talking bollocks.
