@longstoryfarms I once saw a woman in a wheelchair with this flag draped on the back - it meant something to her as a person with a disability. it used to mean different things to different people. I went to Ireland and saw one draped in a person's window.

This is hilarious. I can’t drive far at all without seeing this flag in a yard.

Have you ever seen anyone with this flag in their yard?

@bacteriajoe @FoodPleaser it's not gross but yes, magical on a pulled pork sandwich

@Oceanbreeze473 sometimes you have to and you should! i use the outside mirrors too but there is no substitute for eyes on the situation

@ThatEricAlper that looks like it came from my garage that I just cleaned up. give it a wipe and put it next to your bed

@pr0ud_americans Maybe the guy filming could move the car so the handicapped man can easily get into the driver's seat.

@positivityofx there is hope for this country after all. I thought Appalachian mountain dancing was dead for sure after Jesco White. excellent!

We built an in-laws house on our property in the woods behind the barn. Very similar to the one pictured. My parents live there currently.
I have some thoughts. It’s very difficult to handle elderly parents. Especially those of the boomer generation. Of course all of us have to handle the concept of our own death and nobody wants to die. I think boomers are especially avoidant of this topic and from my experience will do anything to avoid even acknowledging that they will someday pass away.
But you really don’t have a lot of options for when your parents are old. Do you put them in a home? That’s mad expensive and those places are miserable. Do you let them wither away in their own home - in my case a 1hr commute? How does that work when they need help?
If you have the means, I think this kind of thing is the best option. They get
To live somewhere rent free which helps with their finances. You’re close by if they need help. And the grandkids can visit as often as they want. All other struggles aside.

@Watchman_motto yes this is very difficult. grandkids don't even want to visit grandma and that drives her even more nuts. we are dealing with a boomer who acts like a petulant teenager

The absolute best way to understand the difference between US and Mexican culture is to watch how people leave a dinner party.
🇺🇸 The US: You wait for a lull in conversation, announce to the table that it is getting late, thank the host, and walk to your car.
Total time: five minutes max
🇲🇽 The Mexican: You announce you are leaving. This initiates a new round of conversation. Ten minutes later, you stand up. Then you go to every single person in the room for a hug, a kiss on the cheek, and a small departing chat.
Total time: thirty minutes, at least
It is an entire social event you have to build into your schedule, but it’s one of the many reasons Mexican culture feels so warm and welcoming.

@MaryTilesTexas this is so important. precision trade work like this that doesn't require tremendous strength (it requires a lot) is perfectly suited for women. i met a woman recently who just finished welding apprenticeship and she has a great job. there are some welds she can't do but thats ok
