fishinwrench Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 My wife's grandma was a serious Elvis fanatic. She passed on 3 years ago and the family is still sorting through all the paraphernalia. He touched a lot of folks. The marketing on his persona was genius.

The marketing came after he was gone, so I can’t hold that against him. Terrierman and fishinwrench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I ( 1 pre-boomer, 1 extremely early boomer) both considered him a "Greaser". You'd have to be of our age brackets, probably, to understand the meaning of the term. I know exactly what you mean by that term. It brings back a flood of high school memories. 😀 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."

Definitely a banner day ! 👍 DADAKOTA, Champ188, Targa98 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think for a minute that they'd take 4th graders on a field trip to a meat processing plant TODAY ? NO FREAKIN' WAY ! 😂 Airgun shoots a rod through the cows brain. After it stops violently spasming they hoist it up by the back legs, lop off it's head and spill its guts into a wagon, then rip off the hide. Hose it off, then wheel it into another room to be quartered and chilled. These are things that today's kids know nothing about. I gotta stand my ground here. Getting to see all that PLUS a first hand boob flash from a cute teacher.......Way better than an afternoon of wandering around Graceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I’m with Wrench on this one. We paid for our senior trip to Galveston with Turkey shoots, gun raffles, kissing booths and dances. Be kicked out of school on a permanent basis for any of those activities today, let alone taking a group to see how food is actually processed. fishinwrench 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 On another note, I took 2 Dr’s fishing this weekend. Both family men in their 50’s with children and grand children. In the last 5 years both had been sued multiple time for racism and sexism and had never had a single previous complaint. This was entirely over refusal to prescribe prescription medication to females. In every instance there was a nurse also in the room. Didn’t matter, HR told them if they want the drugs prescribed them. fishinwrench 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point about HR dictating your practice rings true. Currently I can practice with the freedom to provide excellent care. The day our group is bought out will be the day I look for a new job. Making medical decisions based on fear of lawsuit is just getting ridiculous. big c and m&m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
