    Incompetence

    The time for action was forty years ago. You should have been in the school board meetings, parent teacher conferences and principals office controlling what "they" were changing and teaching your kids. Alas, we are all too busy or it's not my kids or not my job. But weren't we so happy in...

    Would you use a classified section?

    I voted yes. Does it have to be cattle or would cattle related items be ok. I guess there would need to be some sort of rules involved.

    Controlling type 2 diabetes with diet

    The Atkins diet is a good place to start, but as has been told to me years ago, “you have to read the book”. As Fence and others have said, it goes against most everything we have been taught about nutrition for most of our life. Fence is on the more extreme side of the program for a reason...

    Airplane question

    Nothing unusual. A large airplane and a smaller one, maybe a corporate jet or an RJ (regional jet) They will be at different altitudes generally. The vapor trail is formed under certain circumstances depending on temperature and vapor density. The smaller airplane may have changed altitude...

    I'm out

    As you see from the above, "you can make it work" you just need to have a good job to pay for it. Squeeze the VA for what ever you can, they owe you. I always thought more was better when it comes to land but clearing tree is a lot of work. If your young enough and have time I always thought...
