Ya she(my wife is sitting in MY garage) said even with pets they use "special needs" but our vet was an older down to earth guy, he didn't care about correctness.

That's the only reason I went around the block...I was using it in a quote and it wasn't directed at anyone. But it is against the rules to do that I guess......

Soon "special needs" will be an insult lol. I don't think it is possible to communicate anymore without triggering someone somewhere and sending people into their safe spaces.
Pretty soon that will not be your garage. I'm warning you lol. You'll walk out there and find beautiful curtains, throw rugs, and pastel wall paint. Scented candles too. And your tools will be washed

You mean Judy?
Honestly was that you pushing on the cab of the truck? You can tell us. We won't laugh. Promise!
How can you not own machine guns in Germany but you can make grenades?
My brother was an Air Force code breaker stationed in Germany. Maybe he knows you lol.

 

[Hillbilly Prince]

I don't know. You might not want to insult Judy while Simon is around.

Ah, a diversion. (Tip: Tom doesn’t like boots lol)

I used to be in Direct Sales. My two biggest customers for scented candles were men. Our CPA was one. The other was a farmer.

Nitric,

We do use credit cards on a regular basis, however, they get paid off 100% every month so zero interest.

Ya..I'm a little behind now. By years! I basically lived with no debt. Don't have much but it's paid for with the exception of a hospital bill. My grandfather never had a loan, or credit card until his later years, since he didn't want to carry cash while traveling. He wasn't a wealthy man. But he never owed. He even built his own house one paycheck at a time. I always idolized him for that. When I first turned 18 I got two credit cards, it took me 6 years to pay them off. I said never again, I'm going to try like grandpa. It kills me to watch my Dad or a couple friends just load up credit cards, and loans on stuff that won't even be any good in ten years.

I'll quit rambling..I just believe Credit and loans ruins people, while driving prices up.

Hello all just checking in after the wifi got back up

Same here. We only use them for living expenses and maybe a meal out here or there. We get cash back so it works out to be saving money. If we want/need a costly item, we buy it outright from our savings.

I won’t deny that. Guilty as charged.

Hillbilly Prince,

To make it PC the current acceptable term I believe is mentally challenged.

So I guess someone on social asssistance would be called financially challenged, etc....

We had some r word cats lol.
My brother has a tomcat named Teapot who is as affectionate as a dog.
Btw, the r word is still an accepted term by psychiatrists but because of its usage as an insult there are moves to find a replacement.

Folks,

Well just to show how crazy things are getting around the time I left the Railway in 2001 the company was starting to give the guys courses on gender sensitivity or some other similar foolishness.

For example a guy making an innocent comment about a coworker dropping the ball on a project, in other words, screwing up.
Was not politically acceptable any longer because that tended to refer to mostly guys such as football, basketball or baseball seeing as how those are mostly male dominated sports.

Give me a break, thankfully I wasn't around to participate in one of those courses because I would have told the course giver be they male or female to shove that pc incorrect ball where the sun don't shine....

Yes they are debating here apparently about using Europe's terms. I kind of like mentally deficient. Has a nice ring to it
Aren't we all challenged in some way? lol. Which reminds me: anyone up for an intervention for our payroll master?

LOL

Bill, in the nineties I was on a graphical chat forum. There were a few men who were referred to as CD's Or crossdressers. I was good friends with one. The thing is he and others understood they were not born female. One could sympathize with that. Like wishing you were born extremely handsome or into wealth.
Just the way things were. These guys did what they were comfortable with. Perhaps only being 'women' online or dressing as female in real life or even gettung surgery. My friend was a cool guy.
The thing is they accepted their circumstances.
Now people talk of being assigned a gender at birth as if some evil doctor forced them into their sex.
I looked into this early this year because the subject came up in a forum. Nearly half of trans attempt orr succeed at suicide. After the pills and surgery this statistic does not change. There are people who suffer from body dysphoria and they are not getting treated properly because of the gender nonsense.
And with all the new genders, as well as gender fluidity, how can anyone keep from offending someone? Your co-worker may change genders between the start of work and lunch lol
I am waiting for the day the first woman player is celebrated for playing in the NFL and it will be a man who identifies as a woman.
I will treat people with respect until they show it is undeserved but I am not going to be forced to enable sheer fantasy. You can identify as a mermaid if you like but it does not mean you are one

Hbp, you need to become a charter member. You seem like a guy that would like to talk politics.

Hillbilly Prince,

Back in the 1970's when I was a young adult and still single there was probably about 100 people or more in my social circle at the time both male and female. Mind you back then pretty much everyone it seemed were party animals.

That said a couple of the guys were gay and were ok with hanging around with the straights and us with them. No judging one way or the other. That said they weren't with their partners at these outings, that was a part of their life that they kept separate and didn't share with us.

As you say it's kind of crazy today in my case I tend to take the simplistic approach. You're either male or female depending on the equipment you were born with that's basic biology 101.

Which gender you choose to be attracted to is a choice and whether I agree or not I can't change it so I try not to judge.

But this bs about having a male body and saying your female or vice versa doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned.
