The Good Banter Thread

That old house is just sitting down by the river, been there forever, I think the city owns the land and leases it out to this farmer. The old house is not used for anything and the boxes are bee hives that the farmer put there for his crops. Actually to be technical, the house is too close to the river so really it is "Crown Land" controlled by the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has jurisdiction over all water ways and it's natural flood banks. There is lots of very old stuff down by the river.

That was a very nice picture too JW!!

Big Lou, I want to watch that show, seen the show about the Hutterites in Montana, I like that one too.

Thanks for the picture contest compliments guys!
My hubby and I saw that advertisement for that show "Amish Mafia" too and wondered, what the heck?
I love to look at old buildings, barns etc. They are pieces of art! CE you could advertise your barn boards on Craigslist for sale. There are people out there who would really like to have them. That guy on the "Little People" show who lives in Oregon collects those old boards to use in his town that he makes. CE you could advertise them in your local stores bulletin boards also. You have a gold mine there for someone

The new high def formica is nice .No ce no stainless but the quartz is anti microbial .Wonder what reality show they will put on next .I know when my parents took us kids out they had to sneak us out because you are part of the community and owned by the elders in a way .My parents where charged with kidnapping and moved to NJ to get away .They had the choice to leave but the children really have no choices and parents have no real rights to children .Not sure if it is still the same these days but I still have cousins there but never see them .

CE it is the geminid metoer shower, it should be at its most intense thursday night, ime hoping my skies are clear, amish mafia ????
i watched a documentary the other night about the phelps family and the westboro baptist church based in kansas. boy they seem to be some pretty extreme group of people ! was amazed and a bit shocked.

Since I wake up usually 2-5 times a night, I plan to look outside and watch the skies tonight and tomorrow and Fri to see what I might catch a glimpse of! I love shooting stars, and evidently it's going to be quite a show! A friend saw I think she said 7 of them within just a couple of minutes last night, so that's how I found out about it.

I have a friend seeking investors for his vacum packed, irradiated, extended expiration "Sushi To-Go" business. Interested parties should call 555-555-5555, ask for Harold. Cash only!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Ha ha ha, is that sushi from Fukushima to go?

 

[sissy]

hey if they keep getting earthquakes over there there may be a whole new addition to California that they may not want and not sure any one over here wants to add another state .

 

[callingcolleen1]

I think the whole west coast from Alaska to Chili is in for a "rough ride"!

 

[Fishylove]

Didn't I read somewhere that part of California was just going to fall off into the Ocean? If that's true, maybe they will welcome new neighbors sissy?

 

[sissy]

They have been saying that for years because of the fault line and always wonder now since there have been so many earthquakes over in Japan and wonder how that really effects the ocean floor especially after tidal surges .There has to be more damage than they are saying .I mean I really never even thought of earthquakes until the one in VA .Makes you think

 

[Fishylove]

Oh yah I know! The fault line we're on, the new Madrid fault line, goes from the gulf all the way north to Chicago and the great lakes! It's just a matter of time before the bottom falls out of this one.

Speaking of the great lakes, did you know that alot of the worlds largest lakes are really old volcanos, wonder if Windsor Ontario is still rumblings these days? .....
