re: Post a pic of an indulgence you purchased that was worth every penny

1930's Lionel standard gauge Blue Comet - a monster of a train (much bigger than the O gauge trains that most people think of when they hear "Lionel trains).
The set sold for almost $100 in the depression. They are available and often in great condition because people took care of something that was incredibly expensive for its time. I bought mine from a collector who had bought it from the original owner's family. It had not been run since before WWII. A couple of years ago, I decided to run in on a small Christmas layout. Oiled and lubed it, and it ran right away (needed about one loop of warm up to get fully going). Amazing - not used in 80+ years but it still runs well.
The one pictured is not mine. Mine is nicer and boxed.

Despicable and stupid, but not something that should generate this much outrage. I can think of 100 of actions far more despicable that garner little social media clamor.

I suspect that she was not raised by some nice middle class family.

re: My county’s DOT office won’t pick up litter before mowing along the roads

Ever since the local trash dump stopped taking electronics and furniture guess where all the tvs, couches and mattresses end up? On my land. I’ve tried calling the county and they claim they’ll send someone out to clean it up but they never do. So I take my tractor and loader and move it all to the middle of the highway. Mysteriously it gets gone by the end of the day.
Self-help of this nature works. A local "let's feed the bums" group would give the bums "to go" food. Of course, they ate the food and tossed the napkins, plasticware, and styrofoam trash. It was creating a shite ton of trash. Went to the board of the group, got a big boo hoo hoo for the "homeless."
So, I bagged up the trash and tossed the bag in the Director's yard with a note. No more "to go" food ... had to eat it at the place.
The bums and junkies are a huge littering problem that mostly gets ignored.

When I get home from work about 6, my dog will demand her evening walk around the pasture.
I walked the dogs this morning but the dogs don't count that one.

re: Dallas: 4 dead, 15 shot last night in Deep Ellum

Many years ago, wife and I went to see Pimpadelic at Trees in Deep Ellum. A lot of hot girls were doffing their tops for the band. It was entertaining. Band subsequently signed with Tommy Boy record label but then Tommy Boy folded. They never recovered.
But, at that moment, when Capone was the lead, the talent in the aidence was first rate. His g/f was smoking hot, but she wasn't allowed to remove her top.

I brought my kids to Disney only once when they were older and I could afford it. Disney is not some right of passage for a child. It’s a luxury not a necessity.
My ex brother in law was a VP at Disney in the 80's. Mom and my oldest son got a nice free jaunt to Disney World. Mom and I were the only two in my family who still got along with with the ex. He and I always got along.

She cleaned our accounts out while I was at work.
I had a brief foray into family law but hated it. I hated the "let's race to the bank account and see who can drain the account first" nonsense. I have seen a few times where the wife or husband drains 1/2 the account because they are worried the other spouse will drain everything.
If I was a Judge, I'd be tough on account drainers. In a small parish, the word would eventually get out "bad things happen to those who drain the accounts."

I rented a place on the beach in Rockport, Texas. It was too big for us. We left it clean. Took about 20 minutes to do so because we don't live like pigs.

When Dad asked me to shave his face after his surgery, I knew that was going to be the last time I talked to him (he was a Marine who did not like to have a scruffy face). He passed away in the hospital that night.

Yes they do
I didn't word my response well. The original premise is that property taxes pay for service related to the property. They do - to a degree. But in Texas the biggest property tax segment is for education, which does not relate to the property. Those taxes also pay for the court system.

Wife works retail. A bunch of little girls' swimsuits came in that were very cheeky. She put them in a box and shipped them back. Never got into trouble.
re: Why are there so few conservative riots?
Posted by chinhoyang on 10/19/26 at 11:32 am to theliontamer
If you have a job and/or responsibilities, you do not have time to agitate, loot, or riot.
The riots in France should be treated as an act of war (it is) and addressed accordingly. Destroy the enemy until it surrenders.

Property taxes pay for services related to the property - police, fire protection, road maintenance, etc - plus a few other things.
It’s a tired argument.
Not in Texas - schools get the lion's share of property tax revenue.
Social services get property taxes. Public health receives property taxes.
