Timmy never did fall down a well

I was channel surfing and decided to check out the Lassie Channel. Yes. There really is a Lassie channel on Samsung smart TVs.

I decided to check and see if the Timmy fell down the well episode was going to play anytime in the near future so I Googled "Lassie episode Timmy falls in the well":

I was surprised to find out there is no such episode and it's an urban myth.

I'll be damned. I thought I had seen that episode when I was about seven or eight. 

Must be my dim memory remembered some episode where a well was involved.

Huh.

-----------------------------------------

I decided to watch an episode of Lassie and remembered it as good entertainment for small children which was the targeted audience. .

Today as an older person it does seem to be a bit hokey by today's standards but I'm sure something similar today would be rather refreshing 

For parents that are trying to raise kids in this day and age that are tired of having a constant battle with trying to keep drag queens out of the schools etc. It would be a joy to find kids watching something that wholesome.

It's a shame what we have let ourselves become.

I read an article about re-renaming schools in Virginia

after Confederate generals. The wailing and gnashing of teeth over nothing is epic.

The money spent of renaming the schools could easily be spent on teaching kids to actually read or learn to count.

As usual, this is a case of 'want something to cry about? I'll GIVE you something to cry about'.

Name schools after pedophiles, serial killers and other sickies.

Here's a few samples:

Charles Manson High School

Jeffery Dahmer Middle School

Jack the Ripper Elementary School.

Picture some young mother telling someone "Timmy starts Jack the Ripper this September."

It would be a pretty good deal because everyone would be equally offended and have something to complain about.

The bath/shower spout. Change for the sake of change.

When I rebuilt the bathroom after the fire the other half wanted to install a new and improved tub/shower spout. Instead of the little gate handle you pull up yo pull the ttip of the spout down.

That way you don't have to look at 'the ugly gate handle'.

Oh.

It's more trouble than lifting the gate handle and nobody ever looks at a tub spout to begin with.

Change for the sake of change.

Sometimes it's best to just keep it simple.

Possible road trip.

for a possible funeral.

I don't like the sound of this one.

An old friend with a brain tumor.

Hopefully I can connect while she is still alive and say good bye.

Nobody cares.

Who dunnit? Good one. Joke's on me.

Lately I have treated 'final expense' insurance spam calls by asking them to recommend me a taxidermist so my nephew can use me for a living room decoration after I am dead and gone.

I've mentioned this and someone decided to prank me. He got someone who had a voice I could not recognize call me and say, "This is Bob from Bob's taxidermy and an insurance company told me to call you regarding your final plans."

It took me about a half second to figure it out and all I had to say was "Good one.''

The trick is to get past the AI voice and talk to a 'stuporvisor'. Then the fun begins.

This call is being recorded for yada yada yada

When I hear that I turn on my recorder and about half of the time they hang up.

One of the wildest pranks I ever saw

was the time someone rigged an artillery simulator to go off in the bed of someone's pickup at a random time while the owner was driving.

The driver had just cleared post when the damned thing went off. Fortunately he didn't have an accident as a result of this. I imagine he knew was coming when the damned thing started whistling. It's a very distinctive sound.

It happened to one of the guys in our sister battalion but it was so good of a prank that word of it spread fast.

Needless to say when word got around the officers raised hell about that one and CID got involved. CID never solved it but people were smart enough to steer clear of doing it again.

To Cory Booker.

Which is it, Congressman Booker? Inquiring minds want to know.

So what is it, Congressman?

This is routine maintenance. The statues were gifted to us in the 50s by Italy. The have to be maintained and were last regilded in 1971. 

That was 55 years ago. The maintenance is LONG

 past overdue.

Which leads me as to what your post is all about. 

A. Either you didn't do your homework which seems to me to be a regular thing with you.

OR 

B. You are simply trying to twist a story to smear a sitting president.

OR 

C. You're just plain stupid.

Personally I think it's a combination of all three. I don't think you understand maintenance. It is taking care of something after it has been created. An example of this might be something like an oil change to insure the engine gets clean oil and runs longer and smoother. It saves money in the long run.

His other faults notwithstanding, President Trump understands building AND maintenance. He's currently performing a lot of long overdue maintenance in Washington DC now because many past presidents have not bothered to and the Capitol is getting a little seedy.

On the other hand, I can understand that you don't really understand maintenance because you are a senator from New Jersey which is pretty much a dump from what I've seen of it over the years.

So what is it? A, B or C?

Personally I think it is a combination of all three but I would love to know. Fess up, please.

Oh and please spare me the deflective bull$hit rhetoric. For once in your life I want a straight, honest answer. I know that's a LOT to ask for but you can try.
