Gotta leave to get some things done.
Ruth, thank you for the post. BBL

Have a great day everyone.

JC I was hoping that you got the e-mail but knew that you were busy so I just thought I would wait until you could answer, whenever. We will talk when you have the time and I am so glad to hear that your Mother is doing fine and that you got your son all [...]

Ruth, I just read upthread that you are considering coming to the get-together whenever it happens. That would be super. I know you mentioned it about a month ago and Spuds said that he would come along, but I just thought it was too far for you. I was wrong and if you and Spuds [...]

Good morning everyone.
Thank you for the post Ruth.

Kris, how sad that he left a wife and four kids. It is always the ones left behind who suffer. My thoughts go out to his family and you for being a good friend.

I guess we just wait until a time when it is convenient and inexpensive for all to get together. I know that JC said that nonquixote was a consideration regarding travel time too.

msmolly, I am waiting to hear from JC about our possible meet-up sometime in the near future. He has been very busy with being “Mr. Mom” then taking care of his Mother with the pacemaker/defibrilator, then graduation of his son. Wow, makes me tired just to list all that he has gone through recently. We [...]

There is no shame in doing what you know in your heart is right.
Okay, I am off the soapbox. Either that or I will fall off and break something.

I know the propane thing would be easier, but like you, I prefer Charcoal all the time.

Good for you on the public thing.
I have always marched to my own drummer, I guess that is why I like the song “My Way” so much.
The hell with anyone who wants to criticize what I do and it sounds like you do not care either.

Ruth, it really is a shame that fried chicken and watermelon have come to be identified with African-American culture.
I love both of those and never once thought of the identity issue.
The beautiful thing about FDL and especially Over Easy, is that we are so tolerant of diversity. Yea!

That is what i did last night. It was marinaded and the Weber made it delicious.

I would be in big trouble with a fried chicken ban.
Had chicken on the grill last night and it was great.

Good morning everyone.
Thank you for the post Crane-Station.

Kris, glad your family is safe from the weather. The advisory you posted yesterday was alarming after what happened in Moore, Okla.

Today is the only day that I am not subbing this week so I better get going and get some things done that are staring me in the face.

Thank you for the post Kris.

demi,
I am sure hindsight is going to play a role here with tornado shelters in the schools but then again we are talking the monies needed to build them.

How do you put a price on a single life? You do not do that as each life is priceless.

Good morning demi.
Listening to the Governor of Oklahoma last night, she did mention the fact that the tornado formed so quickly, there was little time for preparing.

BoxTurtle, I do not see what you are saying as “petty”, when people in other parts of the country have needed help, these two jerks were at the forefront of demanding offsets.
I think that we have finally had enough of this “offset” BS when people are desperately in need of help.

Once, just once, I wish their true constituents could see them for who they really are. A couple of jerks in my opinion.
I know the folks here see that, but the people of Oklahoma need to really “see” them.

msmolly, as far as I am concerned, you used the terms that came to mind and I could not agree more. The thing that I am hearing this morning is that Inhofe and Coburn are talking through their spokespersons. Say it yourself you B*stard that you want offsets in this tragedy. I have not seen [...]

Good morning everyone.
Thank you for the post Kris. My heart aches for the folks in Oklahoma.
