No. Are you? Who is it that you think is telling folks they can't display their flags on July 4th?
Some story circulated on the internet for years about HOA's demanding the flags be taken down.
Not sure if it ever really happened.
This is no joke, folks. I've had it every day after lunch for the last 10 years.
Probably oughta go somewhere else for lunch, but man, them enchiladas is tasty.

It is a strange thing. My mom tells me she doesn't know computers. I'm like, you taught me how to use the damn computer and used to play the Nintendo with us.
A lot of that is legitimate memory loss and slowing of cognitive function.
But it's hard to tell, because my parents also suddenly don't know how to do anything that they want me to do. And suddenly forget anything about local geography if I explain where I am when she wants me to pick something up from the store for her.
I think my dad checks all of his stocks, account balances, and credit scores daily if not multiple times a day.
I can't figure out what exactly he thinks he's ever going to need his credit score for, or why it matters to him that it's 2 points lower on one rating system. But news addicts get bombarded with all these ads that make them think they need to be on guard every minute for fraud and credit.
It's fun when you go to the drugstore to pick up prescriptions for them and find out - multiple times - that the credit card he gave you to use has been cancelled because he saw a charge he didn't recognize and thought it was fraud.

I can't imagine fast food being important enough to someone's life that they need to download apps and make plans around their drive-thru experience.
It probably pops into my head every few weeks and I have to listen to it.
Great nostalgia for the dancehall I worked at in the late 90's.

I once saw Joe Ely play a rally for Bill Clinton at a city park.
It was a great show until the snakes took the stage.

Very true. Most people will never know the full story or what's been said/not said between them.
Don’t ever start another thread again.
It’s hard for me to be objective on Reality Bites because of the time and place where it was filmed, but parts of it seem more documentary than fiction for that era.
re: The IRA aint doing shlt. Just a bunch of leftist cuckolics.

The IRA went hard Left a long time ago. Not Catholic, not patriots; just revolutionary.

They take cash, but it’s hilarious when someone puts in a 20 and gets all their change back in quarters like they hit the jackpot.

have only seen cigarette vending machines in casinos. And those are the newer kind with the wire screw like a chip machine.
I don’t see them often, just in “retro” bars using restored vending machines and jukeboxes.

It’s older than that. He was in Houston by the early 2000’s.
They were still using tape back then.

I met him and he was super nice. I think can all relate to his situation in that video.

Before 2018, child marriage was legal in all 50 states.
I've read some takes that this is a misleading claim pushed by advocacy groups looking for a specifically-worded ban while ignoring other consent laws and marriage licensing requirements at state and local levels.

Well, the stained glass windows reduce Jesus to a painting on a wall.
This really isn’t that much different than a lot of goofy things that Christians do. You just don’t realize it at first sight because the other things are considered normal.
I'm trying really hard not to type out what I'm thinking here. :casty:

After the movie, I got this Dick Tracy figure and my sister got the Madonna one.
I just found those in an old box; couldn't believe I still had them.
Still have a movie poster too that I tacked up in the garage. For Christmas or birthday that year, I got a big hard back collection of the original comic strips.
