The alternative to getting older is worse.

Spent Christmas Eve with family and had an hour long chat with my nephew in Germany, via Skype. Tonight it's off to my niece's house for more family time and more food!

This link to the York Dispatch story works. I have NO idea what happened to the Carolers main page. The man in the center of the picture, Barry (Chet) Wagner, is a man I spent countless hours with on fire crews. We both ran with Glen Rock Hose and Ladder, the Southern York County Forest Fire...

I noticed it did not work. It was working when I put it up. Strange

My age is FAR beyond your ability to understand! :p A trip to see the Glen Rock Carolers SHOULD be on most people's bucket list. It is traditional America at it's best.

If any of you vanners or sprinter types find yourself near Glen Rock, PA, tonight, stop in and see the Glen Rock Carolers. They have been doing Christmas right since 1848. It is a remarkable bunch. We have many old friends with that bunch. http://www.glenrockcarolers.org

May everyone have a blessed Christmas, surrounded by family and friends. We have been VERY busy, spending time with people we seldom get to see. Been a fun holiday season so far. More events for tomorrow and Christmas.

OK, it turned out it was NOT a cancellation. I seems that some idiot signed my wife up for the wrong plan, AND, took out a payment on it. SO After first sitting on hold for 28, and then, over an hour and a half dealing with dunder brains, we got her in rolled for the correct plan. THEN...

Sorry, have to run. BCBS just called, our NEW, IMPROVED, Obama Care Compliant, good through 2015, policy has been cancelled due to Obama Care. Have to go explode on the phone, Later. :mad:

I WAS trying to have a conversation with Rocket. I wanted to know HIS thoughts. Not yours.

I wanted to know which figure you were using. Not everyone agrees with that number. Some use 250K. I wanted to be on the same page. Now, I don't believe that you can raise taxes enough, on just those people, to accomplish what is needed. I don't believe that if you lowered it to the 250K...

Yes, that is why I asked it. I don't see where the two are comparable. It's hard on a screen, voice inflections cannot be heard. Sorry.

Please give me a number of what you consider "really rich".

I don't know. Was his remarks, who ever he is, directed at an individual? Phil's remarks, whether you like them or not, were based on his beliefs about groups, not individuals. They are based, rightly or wrongly, on religious beliefs. What were this Bashir dudes remarks based on? What did he say?

Good thing it's not important. It is only football. Just a game. No need for depression.

That will never meet the needs of this governments spending, and they know that. Taxes will be raised on everyone. We have already seen a large tax increase and we are not any where near the "top 1%". The taxes being leveled to cover Obama Care are aimed at the working "middle class". Many of...

There was a major paradigm shift in the early 20th when we shifted from an agrarian based economy to a manufacturing based economy. Many then were not able to adapt. There were glimpses of the next paradigm shift, the shift we are in now, was back in the '50's. There was a series of films put...

I believe that the Dems will someday split because of much of what I here around this area, a traditionally Dem stronghold. Many union members are beginning to question what is going on as their traditions are being taken from them, their freedoms restricted, by the very people they voted in...

"Only once in my lifetime has one of the major political parties split in two" Do you believe that this is a bad thing? :confused: I don't. I believe that the more people stand up for their beliefs, the better off the country will be. The American people, as a whole, have been far too...

I used to sit in an office with NO windows. Few lights, cold, with green screens with strange, moving shapes on them. Sometimes we had headsets on that piped beeps, squeaks, hisses and whistles directly into our ears. On GOOD nights lightening would hit the antenna field and that wonderful sound...
