Your wife is a better human being than I am. If you're too lazy to pick free food, you're too lazy to eat.

There are a couple of sayings my wife and I use a lot when discussing people:
1) You can't save people from themselves.
2) Poor people make decisions to keep themselves poor. There are exceptions to the rule, but when I see a guy driving a 1998 Dodge Neon at 85 in a 65, smoking a cigarette and drinking a Rockstar, I know that's a person that will never get past that station in life. So I then refer to saying #1. :bang:
Some people are destined to be poor/ignorant/trash/etc. It's life.

I have found one that both of you have missed. The abbreviations for both of you ends in a "B". The Good Lord wants you two brothers to love each other. Can I get an Amen?

Historians refer to South, Northern South, Periphiral South and Deep South.
La, Miss, Al, Ga, S. Carolina are always part of 'deep south'. Sometimes they include Arkansas or Tenn but never Va, N.C. or Ky as part of deep south. Only extreme E. Texas is considered to be part of Deep South. If your state waited until after Ft Sumpter shooting started to leave the union, you aren't part of the deep south. If you do most of your grocery shopping at Piggly Wiggly or Winn Dixie, and think that the way to deal with poverty and mental illness is a bullet behind the ear, you're probably part of the deep south. :hide:
I don't know where West Bygawd falls.

One of the qualifiers for 'Deep South' designation was cotton. I never saw a whole lot of it growing where rain wasn't pretty plentiful and never saw a lot growing on the side of a hill in central Texas anyway, tho I do remember seeing miles and miles of it out in dry land farming around sweetwater in Nolan county in the 50s early sixties.Caustic Burno":6kocq6ow said:Only East Texas was really settled until the mid 1870's the Comanche delayed any real settlement of central Texas for four hundred years.

Preface: serious question, not just for Grit but for anyone. This is one I cannot answer because of my limitations regarding immortal existence.
Does you-know-who love these POS people? How could he? TT said I am a bleeding heart. Truth is, I don't love them.

Well you can pick your friends but your stuck with your family. And I'm fairly certain that the dumocrats love them also.
Hopefully we'll never know how those type of folks think. The woman of the house called my wife crying that her
cracked head - meth head daughter went to Tennessee with some guy and left her kids at the house with her.
Probably the best thing that could of happened to the kids, and grandma isn't happy.
