OK this is not meant to stir up any politics left or right AT ALL but last week a local high school here had a gun discovered on the bus then later one in a vehicle.

As a well over 40 person we had discussions in household with high school senior about the way things "used to be".

When I went to school the student parking lot had several trucks with gun racks in rear window, many sporting hand me down 22 rifles hanging in plain sight. Just the way things were.

Also can't count the number of times a teacher asked to borrow my pocketknife.

And that millennials is another reason we call them the "good old days".

Don’t fall for it. We always hear "the rules" from the female side on how we can become better men. Balderdash! Regardless of what they say, we'll always be Neanderthals. Just stick to our own 20 rules. (Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!)

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down

1. Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way

1. Crying is blackmail

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
* Subtle hints do not work!
* Strong hints do not work!
* Obvious hints do not work!
* JUST SAY IT!​

1. ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine, Really

1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as: Sex, Sports, Cars, or Computers

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. If you really want to know... You have enough clothes and you have too many shoes

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don’t try to change that
Dio, this MAY be the best post ever, anywhere, and for all time...rotflmao...

I had a good giggle the other day with the 16 yr old. He was driving us to the grocery store and we saw a stupid looking truck on the way there, then again on the way home.

I said, what's he doing, cruising main?

Evan had no idea what I meant by that so I had great fun in telling him how when I was his age, the thing to do was go to town and just cruise Main Street all evening. Had to explain that it was nothing you EVER did alone, had to have a car full. Had to have music blaring. And that kids from all the surrounding towns all did it.

He thought that was pretty funny. You just drove up and down Main St? How did you afford to do that, he asked. Well, gas was like $.80/gallon, I told him. ;-D

Hey at least your damn Tar Heels can’t knockout my Razorbacks unless both make it deep into the tournament. They shouldn’t even be in the same time zone for a few days..lol

The Heels got the #2 seed in the West. I was gonna ask when we'd be meeting your Razorbacks!
It's March Madness, so anything is possible!!!

Yeah except the car only got 6 miles to the gallon...

We would ride around until hand got to pointing at E then park for rest of night hoping a carful of girls would go by and yell/whistle towards us...

Now they just hit each other up on Snapgram or Instachat while sitting in front of video game...

Where's the fun in that.
