Must have been hard to watch - where were you in '97?

- I was still in the military and had to work in the Command Post at Base Ops (17 Wing Winnipeg) - we did 12 hour shifts until the flood was under control.
Back in Bismarck. Finished my last few years of college at the University of Mary (Bismarck) and Dickinson State University (Dickinson). God bless you for helping in that disaster. :love_heart:

Every day, I pass a sign by the road that reads "HUGE KIDS SALE" and every time I picture store shelves stocked with fat kids wearing price tags. :O_O:

I float around social media a lot. Lately, I see a lot of negative things being said about Steve. I don't reply because I'm an old timer and I know that fighting on the web is really a waste of time. I've done enough web wars to know this. I don't let it really upset me . . .but I don't like it. Especially when they say such crap as Steve has lost half of his fan base because of HIS POLITICAL views --or that he's gone crazy (he's always been damn, cray-cray --it's what I and others love the most about him). I always stop myself from posting a reply such as . . .YOUR DUMB ASS REALLY BELIEVE THAT ****!

The purpose of my post: I'm his fan and an original Bata Tester of his first message boards and because I hold that title and know the backlash of some of his comments, there are times that I wish he'd just shut up!

But, I also respect the fact that someone as respected, and admired and as the famous --and Oh Glory, as LOVED as the author Stephen King will speak out about politics is damn worth the time to be heard and I'll listen.

So far I'm in agreement with him.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Yeah, politics is a b!tch, I had sooooooo many fights on FB because of it, that I stopped posting anything connect to politics.
It brings out THE worst in people, sometimes one single sentence produces a tornado.
I had so much politics in my life that I`m allergic to it, I do not care about ANYONE`S political views...no, that came out wrong...I wanna say- believe what you will, pull for whoever you want, that will NEVER change my attitude towards a person if I like that person.
Why do we have to agree?
We don`t.
So, I stopped wasting my time on that.
Life is too short for that and any politician is a LIAR.
Every single one of them, no exceptions, so...they can all take a hike...

Just noticed the old thread had accumulated way more than the 10,000 posts at which we start a new thread so this will be the new spot for your random thoughts and I will be closing the old thread. You can still view posts there.

Random thing I wrote in my notebook: Jesus hangs out in all the bars and tells the women he's god.
