    Yes

    You obviously live too far from good praches... I'm not talking flavored, but the real deal... Think. good vanilla with hyper fresh peaches churned in just before serving...

    I have no idea what a "praches" is. As far as peaches go, not a fan, unless we are speaking metaphorically. In that case, call me the Space Cowboy or the Gangsta of Love. Just don't call me Maurice.

    I saw the mention of ice cream!!!!!!

    I can't get enough ice cream! Chocolate chip cookie dough or coffee cookie dough are my favorites, but I'll eat just about any kind of ice cream, and lots of it. Most likely why I am overweight, but life is too short.

    I only eat vanilla ice-cream and only on a piece of pie. I will not eat anything chocolate, it tastes like dirt to me.

    Well Germ I won't argue with you. The divorce rate is dropping because people are not getting married like they used to.. half glass full is fine, I too look for the things in life that keep my spirits up. But there is no way you can honestly look at our society and believe things are going well. If you do, well then our moral compases are completely different. Happy hunting bud

    Vanilla ice cream with real maple syrup.

    Otherwise it has to be Tillamook mint chocolate chip.
    Dang it is early but what the heck. Just one bowl.

    While I certainly agree there are many aspects
    I agree that there are certain aspects of our society and political policy that boggle my mind. Things aren't as bad as we are lead to believe. I encourage you to read Hans Rosling's "Factfulness".

    One bowl at 6:42 am? You sound like my four-year-old. He wanted ice cream for breakfast this morning.

    A lot depends on where and how you live. Where I am currently, the quality is down...in a few years when I am able to buy some land and move to where I hunt and live with like minded folks, life will be good or at least better. But as a nation, and as a public school teacher, I know for a FACT, we are in trouble.

    “Many [young people] were so pampered nowadays that they had forgotten that there was such a thing as walking, and they made automatically for the buses… unless they did something, the future for walking was very poor indeed.”

    “Whither are the manly vigour and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt...”
    Letter in Town and Country magazine republished in Paris Fashion: A Cultural History, 1771

    “We defy anyone who goes about with his eyes open to deny that there is, as never before, an attitude on the part of young folk which is best described as grossly thoughtless, rude, and utterly selfish.”
    The Conduct of Young People, Hull Daily Mail, 1925



    There are many more, but it is our job to complain about the youth:lmao2:

    again, every generation that passes becomes more liberal and accepting of sin. Jesus said this would happen. All I am doing is pointing out where we are now. Take it up with HIM if you don't agree....

    Here in Minnesota people are pulling their kids from public schools, people with $ are sending their kids to private schools the rest are home schooling. Personally I am not pro home school but the crap the kids are exposed to in public schools makes me believe home schooling may be a better option. Teacher are there to teach not indoctrinate or teach kids that they are racist because they are white.
