If you make that front/back in the mustard color send me the link to that shop again and I'll pick one up from y'all!

 

* The Gadsen logo might have been abused recently, but know that it stands for being against tyranny. Like the tyranny of that side of things that accuses my side of doing this and wanting that.  Bullya! We know that's a Goebbels trick their side uses to draw attention from their tyrannical behavior!

There's enough hot gas up there already!

 

"Appears to" ?????????????????

 

dumb dumbs..... that had substance to it:lol:

 

 


Probably not the first time Mathews had a guest with gas, highly appropriate. Maybe that’s why MS fired him? Oh that’s right - he “retired”. Sure you did Chris, keep telling yourself that —

That's funny, that shop is about 10' from where I sit, it's one of the things we do.

 

But we are not going to make any more because of the snake design. We do heat pressed vinyl for some designs but with any with tiny parts in the design like the thin lines of the edge of the snake we don't feel comfortable using the vinyl. After many washings very thin lines can wear thin and possibly come off. If it is a little bit larger design it is no problem. What we do with small thin designs is send them to a local screen printer, the printing is with ink so delicate designs have no wear problems.  We have really never had a problem even after many washings but wouldn't want a shirt we made to look bad later. I have shirts that are years old I wear alot and have been washed many times and had no problem but there not delicate designs, there like klipsch shirts with different sayings on them, many different ones. :blush2: never sold them just wore them for whoever might be reading.

The screen printer we use here in town is very good and easy to work with, he has done hundreds of shirts for us, but right now he is shut down so we have to wait.

Wasn't that the guy who once said on the air that when the past person in charge made a speech a tingle ran down his leg as he listened ? no bias there.

You want some real snakes to iron on?

 

took wife to her Dr appt...

practicing social distancing OK. Only patients allowed in. Make sure you use the toilet before heading out. I threatened to use a bush behind the office.  Had to wait for a convenient place on the road home....

 

According to the thermometer in the car, it is 5` cooler here... That was @11AM. 86` where.when we left. 80` here... House is cold. We closed it up before leaving. Could put a thermometer in, but that would make the house warm in the summer and cold in the winter. Knowing the temp seems to amplify it's hot/cold.  What I know of winter/summer temps in the house...

... butter keeps firm in the winter. Tear the bread firm. Summer, you pour the butter on your bread.

just sent my doctor an email.  Felt light-headed and a bit woozy yesterday and today. Decided to take my blood pressure and it was 98/55 no wonder I was getting a headrush so often.

asked her if I should stop the blood pressure medicine and see what happens. With bring holed up at home for two months and eating high sodium food (canned chili, instant potatoes, instant rice) I thought my blood pressure would be through the roof and not the floor. 

hopefully, she doesn't want me to come in -- going to a medical place right now would definitely raise it.

Believe it ran "up his leg" `cause I recall it being extra weird, but they have lemon too!

my buddy did an experiment with his Dr and the keto diet... you know - the one that lets you eat as much fat and protein as you want. No carbs.   His numbers didn't show any difference from eating a "balanced" diet. 

 

I'm still not sold on it being a healthy diet. Humans are omnivores... basically scavengers.  Don't wanna hear that "top predator" crap.. I don't see much predation happening at the grocery store...

several years ago, I was having stomach problems and the specialist told me that my max weight needs to be 185 -- no argument.  I never thought that possible, I was born 184. At the time, I was 214.

But, sure enough I got down to 173.  Saw my sister for the first time in a year and when she walked in the door the first thing she said was "what's wrong with you?"  Anyway, I didn't feel any different losing 40 pounds.  When my brother moved in and suddenly there was food in the house and dishes and the rest of the stuff that normal people have in their house, my weight started to go up. a few YEARS later, I was back over 200 and I felt like crap.  Strange that I didn't feel better in one direction but felt worse moving in the other direction.

if it works for you...

we are individuals.

 

I do pretty good on bread, cheese, veggies and mostly fish.... kinda in the wrong place for fish. Bluegill are fine dining... if I can get to the lake w/o so many people being there.  I'm OK with sharing ... but, I have limits of tolerance.  ... and how far I am willing to hike to get away from "them"

Kinda like watching paint dry is so very true.  Finally done yet not done.  One more Levolor to order for the French doors out onto the patio.  I hate putting antique white on anything.  Always takes about 3 coats before it looks good.  At least I'm outta that light brown sidewall color.  I've got so much to sort and do yet I'm amazed.  I'm on it though!  Pretty bad when I'm visualizing Jubes in the corners.  😂

I eat once a day. 

was told once that was not good because it made our pancreas work too hard after that one meal.  Asked my doctor at my physical and she said, it may have some truth to it, but "you've been eating this way for years and your blood work is fine."

No thanks they squeal to much when you put them in the heat press machine, and it smells like bbq.

And to think in our younger years we paid good money to get that feeling. Now all I need is to take my BP medicine and later bend over and stand up quick.

A friend some here have met Kevin Harmon has been on Keto for about a year and lost 60 pounds last time I talked with him. He has had blood work done and everything is great, so he is sticking with it even though he does not need to lose any more weight.

I must be color blind, I don't see any antique white or brown, looks yellow. But if you like it it's all good. :huh: Must be really really antique white , like 100 years old. :o

 

It does look nice and the blinds are cool.
