Every day, all day. 90% same people every time. I just can't figure out if it's intentional / conscious or not?
long confused reply,but....i read a story about an american fighter pilot who went missing over france after d day. his fiance spent about 40 years trying to find out about him and his fate, of course,no help from VA,DOD or congressman. she never married. for some reason she ended up in france and discovered his grave. it had been prepared by the village people at the time of his death and maintained for 40+ years. a commemorative service was held in the village every year honoring him and his service in the war. i don't remember all the names,dates,events and time lines but the story is true as the lady involved wrote it at some point. some people did appreciate american service in ww2. a lot of strange stories come out of any war or other disaster.
This hangs in my Living Room.
Now THAT is a proper response to that type of post. Just reading that proves to me you are you and not a hacked account.

Been thinking about it a great deal lately. I think when you are getting ready for a new chapter you do tend to look back at the rest of the book, and think woulda coulda shoulda. It is natural.
Then ask yourself the question, look around yourself and look at the best things in your life. Would they still be there? Doubtful, because of the woulda coulda shoulda. You would not be the same person you are now. You may think it would be better, but would it really be better.
If I had only hit that baseball.
When you are trying to do something wholesome for the kids… but also aren’t up on current events…

They are out there
Still wearing masks up here… outdoors. In bright (high UV) sun. In temps that kill everything.
They are retards but if it weren’t masks it would be something else… pink ribbons or pussy ears or Sea turtle awareness. Retards gonna retard!

Stupid chicken.
Needs It's beak clipped.
Is there some second Earth, opposite from our Earth so we can never see it? Is this where these people come from? People around here wear masks like it’s the end of the world. They have no idea what masks supposed to actually do.
I feel sorry for them, I really do. Forcing their own selves to suffer. While the rest of us go on about our life happy and relaxed.
yes people are still getting covid. They take a week or so off, and than go on with their lives. Not that much different than a bad cold or a mild case of the flu.
And the coastal elites still go on about how the “anti-vaxers” need to be rounded up and punished. What a fucking crazy world.
Oh, and a picture to get away from the bitchin and get with the program this thread is supposed to bel. The view from our lakeside porch yesterday morning. Yep that is snow on the walks, on the dock and a bit on AnnaEleise and even a bit across the cove.
Read up on Secretary of the Interior James Watt sometime... He was awesome!!!
From Wikipedia: "A controversy erupted after a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in September 1983, when Watt mocked affirmative action with his description of a department coal leasing panel: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."[27]"
I remember laughing my ass off at that back in High School! It was great!

maybe they put those on pineapple.
FIFY
How many years has it been since anyone got 'the flu' or a common cold? Oh yeah... since Covid merits doctors paychecks and Pfizer needs to keep the drumbeat going so noone calls their executives before tribunals.
5 years... of a Corona Virus-type flu... Shocked... Corona Virus IDentified 2019. Covid. It's just the fucking flu hijacked to steal elections and destroy the West.

@Devildog and @fpgt72 , I just got out of a conversation with a very hard working, positive millennial about this. They are about to graduate and have 8 months until they go onto a certification test that is required. Bu they cannot find a job anywhere at the moment, even hourly part time at menial jobs so they are understandably frustrated. I told them that they are going about everything correctly, and this is just life - keep pushing until you break through. Breaking through right now may mean two or more part time jobs, which won't kill them and will probably yield some good life lessons early (how to handle money, among other things). But while reflecting on that talk I was left with the conclusion that we all aspire to be more than what we are when we are young, and that's good. But there comes a point in most people's lives where they are not where they wanted to be and they look back and ask 'what if". I know i have done it - a different decision here or there and what would have the outcome have been? What I do know is that there is madness in that thought process and a lot of living can be lost by constantly regretting and looking back. Somewhere in the gap between "what could have been" and reality a person needs to be able to find peace and satisfaction. That starts with looking at and acknowledging the good things in our lives; children, safe homes, loving someone and being loved. Those are the building blocks to any degree of real success, yet we tend to overlook those things for other "successes" that have a price tag that includes making those essentials far lower on the priority list.
A simple meal. Like cornbread and chili without beans. A sunrise. A good dog that is your bud. A garden. A workshop. A job well done, no matter how small. Puring positivity and usable advice into young lives that are just starting. There are SO many things we take for granted that we really need to appreciate. This also includes understanding when ships have sailed and saying goodbye to them. If there is life still left to live and those situations can never be had we need to let them go, do something else we determine is worthwhile and enjoy it. There is no need to sour today and tomorrow over yesterday's decisions. I didn't tell my millennial bud that piece - its too early in their life to understand it and they need to be striving because that is the stage of life they are in. But I have learned that it is true.
We bog ourselves down for no real reason. We need to offer ourselves forgiveness and the grace to live our lives without the baggage of needless regret. I'm starting to sound like the old people who coached me back in the day but also beginning to understand how wrong I was and how right they were.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but I know I do, and to be reminded of it.
I would love to know what these millennial's studied and what the certification is in.
Personally I know two, one 23, and that makes her just on the edge of "millennial", the other 19 and is square in the middle of it. The 23 yr old had a job lined up, real job type job before she got out of college. Does something with nutty people in the medical field. I don't really understand what she does, she does "hand out meds". And has already had a gun pulled on her in her office.
The second still in school, a woman of color you would say, and she is working to be a welder. She comes from the most Liberal family I know, very pro Biden, one of the 20% that thinks he is just great. This kid not so much, the folks yup. Again a job lined up and I think she has like a year plus to go, and I think there are certifications she needs to have for that. Big help, and helped with my own welding, said FP you need a new machine, the feed rollers in your old one are just warn, but with as old as it is, you would really do well with a newer machine with more control over the process. Ok, she was right.
I am not saying the people in your story have "worthless" degrees, or paths. But there is a "right and not so right" field to go into. Both these people in two very different directions saw where the hole is going to be and went there. Mental health, and making things.
Medical field as well with high prospects, already interning in their field along with a second internship using horses in the rehab of patients and special needs children. Just has to get the certification once they graduate in a few months. The lead time to the exam is just longer than they anticipated.

We are the old people now.
Neither of those 2 are millennials. Millennials according to Pew research boils down to where were you on 9/11? Millennials range from kindergarten to not quite legal to buy alcohol. Birth years 1981- 1996.
Gen z are 1997-2012.
