We used to put nose rings on hogs to keep them from digging holes and man, how they would squeal.

I wonder if the kids squeal when they get theirs.

Yup. First thing I think of when I see a pretty face sporting a nose ring is this:

A pretty face with a hog ring in her nose bothers me a lot. Can't understand why a girl would mutilate herself that way. One of the tellers in the bank I use wears one; I refuse to deal with her and wait until another teller is free.

Why? to make her squeal, some men love it

Here's a really interesting read on immigration past and present. Worth the time to read it.

My grandparents came over in late 1800s/early 1900s as children. They pretty much got on a boat and showed up.

Yep! My forefathers on my moms side of the family were indentured servants that came over on a boat that just showed up. The name of the boat was the Mayflower.

Forefathers on both sides of my family were on that same boat. The locals welcomed them, helped them get established, supported tthem through a first rough winter and taught them about raising corn.

How did that work out for them?

I remember as a young lad in the early 70's how it seemed that every other boy was related to Daniel Boone.

Yep as viewership declines...

Been at least 6 months since I turned on the TV...

Once you step away and come back the stream of commercials is glaring.

Somewhere I read the big automakers are foregoing Superbowl ads...

Remember when people actually wanted to watch Budweiser Superbowl spots and they had some great ones...

Haven't had cable or the ability to view channels for 35 yrs. When I stay in a hotel and turn on the trick box I understand why.

Never lived in a home with anything but rabbit ears...

When cable arrived it was $7.95 mo and dad told the guy signing up the neighborhood better things to do with a hundred dollars than spend it on the idiot box and that was that.

I sat here a couple minutes trying to think of something to say.
F--- It. Ain't worth the time.

Family trees are long and winding webs, and most of ours have crossed at one point. Heck, half of us believe we're all direct descendants of Noah... right?

If you have the good fortune to be able to trace yours back more than a few generations, you're going to find some famous folks.

Same here. Used to carry a good book or two for those times I had to stay in a motel because I can't stand the drivel they put on TV these days. Now I carry a Kindle with 100+ different books on it so I can always find something interesting to read. Bonus is that I can use the Kindle while camping (which I do a lot of). Hard to read a book while camping because a light attracts every bug within 5 miles. The Kindle can be set to "dark" mode which doesn't attract bugs.

I remember when Amazon first started in 1995. Selling books online and mailing to you. Thought that wasn’t really a sustainable business.

I was very wrong!!!!

Every year we have to go through "Sensitivity Training" at work. One example of respecting somebody's religion told of a woman who belonged to some church of body piercings,which allegedly required her to wear them at all times.

While I believe that is her right... I also believe that it's my right to patronize a different establishment.

I don't miss the corporate PC classes, i used to get into so much trouble in those sessions. Way too much fun to get the HR folks into a frenzy asking "hypothetical" questions.
Round and round they go where it stops nobody knows.

I heard that a lot from my bosses

 

[lman]

I'm saying that all the time. There's nothing more beautiful than a beautiful woman!
It's like trying to improve on a Rembrandt. My wife says it's inappropriate but I have told waitresses please, whatever you do, don't change anything! View attachment 852339

Hey where'd you get a picture of my wife?

 

[MoKelly]

Remember this Pepsi commercial from back in the day?

I sure do - I was in love with Cindy Crawford.
