I'd love to see that private banter between moderators. 😂 "There goes Wrench again"..... "Yeah, he's just a jackass, I've got my finger on the delete key of that atheist prick"..... "I'm going to ban Mitch here in a minute too"..... "Good, I've got your back, brother"...... 😁

I mean no disrespect to anyone, but how do you CHOOSE to believe something ? There are a lot of things that I'd love to believe in (and the existence of a fair, and loving creator/controller is certainly one of them) but I can't just flick a switch and turn that on. There are books about Bigfoot too. I had no intentions of carrying this conversation on, but Phil called me "tacky" and put me on the spot.....and now here we are. I had no personal relationship with A-mart, but I have close friends that did. From what I understand he and his family have been put through literal hell..... forgive ME for not seeing and recognizing comfort in your belief that "Awe how precious, it has all been God's plan. And now Jesus is hugging him". Piss on that. I know some folks that would rather be hugged by Aaron. It's very possible to express sadness and well wishes without adding tidbits of fairy tales and beliefs, not shared by all, into the conversation. Now, I'll be done as soon as y'all are done chastising me for being ME. Just choose to believe THAT and I'll say no more about it.

That's definitely a more healthy/happy way to look at it. 👍 As long as you're capable of blocking out and ignoring the parts that hurt. I think that's exactly how people stay longer than they should in abusive relationships.

Agreed. But at least I'm resisting it, and disgusted by it. 😊

Sorry you feel that way, Phil. What's tacky, to me, is to coverup sadness and grief with baloney spiritual nonsense. It hurts and offends me worse than political rants hurt you, Terrierman, and quillback. You've never been hurt, looked to the sky and asked WHY? If the answer is "yes" then you should understand. If you're not a fan of brain cancer then you shouldn't be a fan of the one who created it, or the one that could have prevented it. If the heavenly father wanted Aaron then POOF, take him, and spare his loved ones all the pain, cost, and grief.

Wow 😢 Blink, just like that? So that's how the eternal heavenly father rolls, hu? darn! 😔

The last time I was at Taney I get a text message telling me that my high speed data quota had been exceeded. Next thing I know my mobile device is nearly worthless. Couldn't even watch a Lilley's One Cast or see the SWPA generation schedule. Asked the dude at the gas station if they had any maps, and he looked at me like I had just farted or something. No, no "maps". So I call sugarbritches and tell her to contact AT&T and pay whatever it takes to restore my crap. Seems as though the kid used all our data up on the school bus..... whatever. Finally after a 90.00 payment I was able to use my mapping and stuff so I could find my way around, and get a heads-up on the generation schedule. WTH have we done? This is BS !

Has anyone besides me ever thought about how screwed you'd be if you were many miles from home and your smart phone decided to blink out ? Do you have numbers memorized or written down on something in your wallet? I don't. And even if I did..... where's pay phone? Can you even buy paper Maps anymore? Where? All this reliance on mobile devices is nerve wracking. It's gonna go bad, you know it is.....and then what?

Bygod I figured it out. Sweet! No more pointless and annoying calls/messages from my ex wife. Hooray! 👍 Thanks!

How? Block it to where they can't even access your voicemail ? I don't care what year it is now. I was born in the '60s and started smoking weed in the 70's. So anyone who acts shocked that I'm not 100% up to speed on techy mobile phone use is just being purposely annoying. 😂

What I'm dying to see is a cop with a drug dog within a 1/2mile of a dispensary. No! Heel! HEEL!!! 😂

Yo, teach me how to block a text message ! 🙏 Thx.

Dang, it would kinda suck to be stuck with that name NOW. All those guys deserve compensation. A tax break, or SOMETHING.

The thing of it is.....Is that you can't leave this place. No matter how butthurt/pissed off somebody here makes you, ya gotta stay. Call it "brotherhood" or whatever cheesy term makes sense to you. Like Hotel California. You can check out anytime you like.... but you can never leave. 🤷 Suck it up, buttercup. 😘

Usually it is the other way around. People totally freak out and go into immediate respiratory distress if someone lights a cigarette....... But the same person will stand over a pile of burning trash or leaves all day long, and never have a problem with it. 🙄

3.00/hr. is a reasonable amount to pay, especially when split between two guys.....which is usually the case.

Oh yeah, these bass derby guys are heavier into stimulating economys than any other group I'm aware of. 3/4 of the kids in my 12 y/o's class claim that their daddy is a bigtime professional fisherman. Ya know....the ones that spend one weekend a month with him. 🙄

No kidding. I just don't get it.....if you are there to DO THINGS then you're not gonna spend any time chillin' in the room. All you need is a clean place to shower and sleep. Hell I don't even care if there's a TV or a dining table in the room or not. I've been known to take the bathroom door off the hinges, lay it across the beds, and use it for a fly tying table. Works great. 👍 These fishing destinations all lack those 40.00/night joints like that nowadays. The world is going to hell. 😅 Do people actually take a trip to Branson and spend all day sitting in their fancy "crib"?

Is there a good place to pitch camp ?

Sh*t, Shower, Sleep

When y'all get done discussing the 260.00/night joints can I get a suggestions for a reasonable place to S.S.S. that is less than 1/2 hour from the dam ? I miss the old Table Rock inn 😕

No woman I've ever known was capable of admitting they made a mistake or ever did anything wrong. Even the women in prison will 100% justify the actions that got them there, and will convince you that it's someone else's fault. One need look no further than the Whitehouse to confirm that.

Did y'all know that Doug invented.... the Rootbeer Float ? The Snickerdoodle cookie ? And the Biscuit ? And he has also put to rest the common belief that humans need vegetables in their diet in order to live a long & healthy life. The man has more energy than any teenager I've ever known. So far, the only thing I've found him incapable of doing is....Shutting up, and Sitting Down. 😁

Where I come from Gage is a boys name, born late 80's to early 90's. And Gauge is an instrument. Having a fuel pressure gauge, fuel level gauge, temperature guage....but a water level gage.....is just freakin' stupid. They are all GAUGES ! The only reason the English language is so confusing is because PC PEOPLE allow it to be.

Anytime you misspell something and get called out on it......just claim that it's part of your rich history to spell it like that. Make the accuser feel ignorant. 👍
