I never heard that! Love it. I find it kind of ironic that in a time when life’s struggles were a little harder on most, people took more time out to enjoy and savor tea time, meals, rituals. I think we suffer for lack of civility, which has farther reaching consequences than just knowing how to hold a teacup and which fork to use.
Each civility we lose, especially the daily small ones, releases us to lean more toward the barbaric and uncaring side of man’s nature. Mamas and Daddies teaching little ones how to be a part of polite society, to have courtesy and manners and respect made for a better society.
I sheepishly climb down off my soapbox now Mary.

Courtesy, manners, respect and personal responsibility. Four things I think very few teach their kids today.
I was taught to respect my elders, even if they were wrong or rude. I was taught to say please, ma’am, sir, thank you, excuse me, etc. Because I was taught, I taught my children. I was taught to take responsibility for my actions and to know consequences came with it. Now I hear my daughter teaching her son to say please and thank you.
I sometimes wonder how many generations haven’t been teaching their children? You teach what you were taught, it’s almost second nature to do so.

I just hope she saw our comments to her, Stella. May have been a fly-by with no follow up. I don’t recognize “Jane in Florida” as a regular commenter. I can’t imagine who she thought she was talking to; Treepers are, on the whole, a very well-read bunch. Even though the piece was published a week earlier, I knew by the 3rd line that it was plagiarized, and it only took me a minute to find the source. Not with Google, BTW, just by checking back through my usual dog trail of regular reads. I’ll be watching for her name in the future.

I have friends from India we’ve known for about 15 years; our home schooled sons were good friends. They don’t eat meat, but butter, yogurt, and cheese are ok.

I was a vegetarian for about 10 years (hey–it was southern California in the 70s!). Protein source, as you say, was nuts, beans, dairy. None of that fak-o meatless meat substitute, which is all highly processed krap. Fortunately, I’ve been in recovery for many years. It is really tough to be a vegetarian in Alaska. And expensive.

My freshman year at college, one of my biology teachers taught us why, amino acid-wise, animals – including human – need protein and why it cannot be found in vegetables and fruits. Contrary to prevailing opinion, I was not too young to understand, and never went down the vegetarian path. Never ever regretted it.
The same wise ones never understood why I never walked down the Gaia path, either. Very strange folks, all those people.

I like veggies and could almost be vegetarian, especially in the summer with everything fresh out of the garden except I can’t learn and don’t want to learn how to cook without lard and bacon grease and many veggies, especially beans taste so much better when bacon, hocks or ham are added to them.

Back in the 70’s my husband and I went on a totally vegetarian diet. After two weeks, he wanted a hamburger and that ended that. However, I discovered that I didn’t digest beef well, for whatever reason and that was what gave me stomach aches so often. So, I just gave it up completely and never missed it. I try to keep people from worrying about feeding me because my focus has always been on the salad, bread, and vegetables at a meal. If there is no chicken or fish, it isn’t a problem for me. I don’t feel overlooked.

🙄 No we are not, but that is another discussion, but if we are to draw the logical conclusion from Obies words then the republican congress stopping the implementation of the Rule of Obama made America a better place.
🤔What a buffoon.
Most telling is that this was the second time Obama said that time will tell. If the US/world gets better under Trump then Obama’s world view is wrong If the US/world gets worse under Trump then Obama was right.
This is their plan Soros Inc. already has the wheels running to cause civil unrest, economy manipulation and all sorts malicious activity to make the US as much of a living hell as they can.
Obama currently talking about the unprecedented peace and prosperity that his presidency has brought to the US and the world stage. “That is my strong belief and I think I have very good evidence to prove it” Barack Obama is a dangerous delusional man. He may just start a major war days before leaving office.
Oh and Obama said Trump is a dangerous nationalist in the likeness of Putin. He said it in such a way that the MSM will say that Obama continues to be conciliatory and an all around lovely, gracious chap.

I firmly believe that Obama is currently working with other PTB including Soros with one goal in mind and that is wreaking what ever havoc they can on the US to try and ensure that a Trump presidency fails.

From my friend a small town newspaper owner to the AP:
Dear AP:
1) Please drop “billionaire” from the AP Trump lexicon. For variety, try “President elect” instead.
2) Gayness is not a relevant attribute that needs to be attached to articles when considering appointments.
3) Your clauses claiming inexperience do you no credit. You do not provide evidence about what experience matters,
4) Please point to the evidence about Bannon. NPR ran some scurrilous rumors in August, but the anti-Semitic hokum has been adequately countered by Jewish co-workers. [Incidentally, I have gotten pointers to more legitimate news from Breitbart.com than from NPR and been led astray more by CNN than by Breitbart.]
I look forward to seeing your Breitbart evidence.
I see that the post election period will be as difficult for corporate journalists — a group that includes AP — as before the election.

The speculation continues apace, to be stopped by the naming.
All this back-and-forth about State reminds me of a story I once heard about George Schultz, when he was Reagan’s Secretary of State.
It seems that whenever a new ambassador was appointed to a given country and confirmed to the post, Schultz invited the new ambassador to his office for a visit before dispatch. As part of that visit, Schultz would nod towards to a large map of the world he kept on his office wall and ask the new ambassador to go to the map and point to his country. In the telling I remember, each new ambassador would to up to that map and point to the country to which he was to serve as ambassador.
Schultz would then say, “No.” He would rise, go to the map himself, and point to the United States of America. “THIS is your country.”

I quit my job Sunday, just around noon. Gave the kitchen manager my keys to all the businesses, and said, “It’s been a pleasure.” He came outside a minute later, and convinced me to take a breather and come back inside. He gave me the keys and said he couldn’t accept them, and told me that he, a trained chef, my age, respects me greatly and I know he’s speaking true true. That’s why he knows he needs to move my OCD arse from dish to prep. Dish is just a fast-spinning driveshaft in the middle of the machine. Line needs plates. FOH needs cups, glasses, flatware. Line needs 1/6 pans of stuff chopped on the fly or thrown in the oven. They want me to do to Prep what I did to dish, and then the same for Line.
Ten dollars an hour. What a 17-y.o. newbie line cook makes. Nine years. Dish, Prep, Faucet repair. Epoxy grout. Construction. Painting. Flood remediation. Plumbing. FOH dusting. Drain cleaning. Basement organization. Epoxy floor painting and sealing.
I’m a dishwasher. The managers are asking for my advice.
No raise in seven years. I love them all, and I have some patience, it would seem.

The new managers have been here 7 months.
I’ve known this joint, and all four others, for 9 years.
It ain’t the new managers taking advantage of me.
I’ll probably eat turkey at the bossman’s crib again this year.
And he lets me drive all his vehicles. And doesn’t mind when I go make a sammich at midnight.
He doesn’t scream at me any more, only because I don’t deserve it any more.

Wooly, I am happy that you are returning, something folks like us (mind never stops people with addictive personalities) don’t need is a whole lot of idle time.
You are worth more than you are being paid. Figure it out. Have you talked to the new management about it?
Even a dollar raise is a soul booster. You are friendly with the boss man, I don’t know him but I know ownership in general, you show up every day, work your ass off and you know how to fix what they don’t even know needs fixing. And you can fill in for just about anyone. That is invaluable and the boss man knows that it would cost him a lot of trouble and money to replace you.
I can’t speak to your specific situation but in general terms I would ask for a $2 dollar raise, tell him it’s been 7 years, tell him that you both know you are worth it and the restaurant and the boss mans pocket book will be the biggest beneficiary in the long run.
You are worth more than 12 dollars an hour but that is another discussion. So what if some teenagers make the same amount of money as you don’t get hung up on that. Some adults make $7.50 an hour, the dollar amount is not a measure of your worth.
That said I had a friend, Ted, who pushed it too long and then Ted told the owner some honest but uncomfortable things with a lot of foul language thrown into the critique right in the middle of a retail store with customers around. Ted threw away his job and his references in one fit of anger. Don’t be a Ted!
So think and pray it through Sweet Wooly!
