I am a firm believer of rights! However, I truly draw the line at gay rights vs. Civil rights that blacks fought so hard for with gays on their coat tails.

The civil rights movement actually overlapped with the women's rights movement but it had to take a backseat at the time.

Not arguing the point with you I just think there's too much intolerance in this country and most is rooted in religious moral beliefs that not everyone shares.

Thanks for the website. I favorited it on my phone. Look forward to the 2013 schedule.

Yeah, mostly "red", and Democrats often are of the conservative (and some darned prejudiced) variety; many moderate ones.

My dad was out of a rock-Republican mold with extended family of that stripe. He was moderately a "Roosevelt Democrat", a union man, and when I was a wee lad, JFK was his "hero" president. Dad was pretty prejudiced though. Later, I was aghast at his reaction to when George Wallace got shot. It was more emotional than when JFK was assassinated.

Yeah, that "red-lining" regarding blacks and residency vis-a-vis mortgages was a wide-spread practice in the northern cities.

But, I'll leave this be for now.

I am in the throng with you on human rights/civil rights: they are not "special rights".

But Indiana is dry on Sunday as far as alcohol sales go :)

Good evening Quinny. Not a problem. I remembered you're posting by phone, and from others posting by phone it seems the phone will by "artificial intelligence" substitute characters to create typos.

Yes, for carry-out that is still true.

DW, stay in touch for the El's Kitchen Spring Break, North American Tour. With a bit of luck we may ALL be able to enjoy a luncheon by skype or email. What fun!
Quinn, your thoughts. FC, you too.

Glad you (and Mrs.) connected to the kitchen. By my reckoning, your connection was about September? Have you been posting with Quinny and/or Flower Child before that?

Almost 9:00 PM EST -- time to view must-see TV: Downton Abbey

Chat with my sweetie-lady right after that and head to bed.

Golden slumbers Kitchen-eers 'til Monday morn.

That too. It's been referred to as the Cupertino affect, Apple being based there (it's a 3GS --- works well with my processor).

Years ago we went visit James Dean's grave and museum. The road trip home was The Great Indiana Cemetery Tour and some of my cohorts were upset they couldn't by beer.

Ditto that. I hope my email went through to Brighteyes. Once again issues with the phone since I had changed the email password.

I figured Ft Wayne. Any weekend in April/May works. I was thinking May 17-18 or even Memorial Day weekend for an extra day. Thoughts anybody? FC need us to firm up plans for flight arrangements. We have no other immediate plans yet for anything in spring so it's all good here.

September only came in when I asked about your daughter's wedding so you could join in the fun without conflict. Boomer suggested springtime which sounds like a good time if you have an opening. FC was gonna come in from Texas.

Could you work it?

Be it as an etiquette session in 4-H, or likely in Home Economics class in high school (nowadays it is called something else; back in the day the vast majority of students for "Home Ec" were girls but a smattering of boys would enroll too -- sometimes you just had to fill a scheuling hole when other courses weren't available):
Placement and orientation of utensils when finishing eating were taught. At local diner eateries, I am admittedly slack.
Somewhere in time, I did pick up the European use of fork and knife when cutting/eating. It's certainly more efficient!

i still have the pillow that i made in Home Ec class. lol
lil yellow but... lol

did i read u have a daughter that will be married soon? Congrats! when my D got married - at the end of the nite my hubby asked me why they never had the father/daughter dance, they did but it wasnt the "Daddy's little girl" song that my D chose but a Norah Jones song, he had NO idea. i felt SO bad for him, i knew she chose that song, but because it was Her "special" day, i didnt say anything about this orig song thats usually played and assumed she just wanted this song over that one. but turns out she didnt really know about that song and said she would have certainly used it. i felt so bad and to this day i regret not speaking up about it...
oh yeah, and IF u need reading glasses, make sure u dont forget them. my hubby forgot his and couldnt read the speach he wrote for her and being put on the spot like that he said he forgot some of the things he wanted to say.- poor thing..
:( lol
weddings can get a little stressful and crazy - have fun though!
:)

[PFfff]

El - i remember when the Vicks vapor rub was mentioned before - dont remember who said it but i know i told my D about it when her D was sick and she tried it and said it seemed to work.

i remember as a kid my mom rubbing some on our chest when we were sick..
but actually, i didnt even know they still sold it. lol

Have a Great day Everyone!
:)

However, don't compare civil rights to gay rights! Everyone can see you are black; not everyone can see you are gay!

Good point. Then again, not always, there are folk in South Africa
who have the tiniest of the black gene, and on the surface are white,
but because of their dna were not encouraged, let's say, to marry
a white person. Not enitely sure how that stands these days.
