    All these companies telling people to live your life, be you, live your truth, be cocky and pushy.....how about be humble. Be honest? That's cool in my book.

    did you read it? It's crazy long and very detailed. It reads like a Hannibal Lecter commentary on a series of grisley murders. It's like he obsessed over it.

    Yeah unfortunately I did. I have gone out twice looking for dead people twice and I can tell you his assumptions are wrong.

    I read it and it did have an odd tone for sure, especially being a Meat Eater article (Hannibal again). I'm not familiar with the author (or at least not sure if ever read his works), but I think I've heard him dragged around here a few times.

    Local archery shop is closing due to all the crap going on. They were good and close by just a small place but good service and knowledgeable.

    Dumb azz political nitwit word police. If your going to get all "woke " ( hate that word) over the use of a word as offensive to a group of people. Look up the origins first. Chief. Put aside it's a word of honor as in highest rank, leading or leader ,but it is French in origin.

    Please edit out the peanut butter portion of your post. So I can agree

    ...soooo I need to call my mortgage company to halt an escrow disbursement my current homeowner's insurance as we are changing insurance providers. Can't do this online. This needs to happen prior to Monday. I call in, and they are closed "in respect to the Juneteenth Holiday." This is a national mortgage provider; not some mom and pop deal.

    So you're going to close for a holiday that 90% of the country had not heard of prior to last week?

    caveat; I am all for the creation of another Federal Holiday and in fact one celebrating this occasion is warranted. I just think this is all rather...sudden. Wish I had gotten the memo.

    Not according to the main stream media. This has been observed for YEARS. Oh wait that's because Trump said he made it famous due to the rally change...I must be in a racist bubble I never heard of it until the last week.
