Depends on the locale. If you are in a small college town, no problem. If you are in a Bugtussle Walmart, problem.

Trust in the media has to be at an all time low, and they did it to themselves for the most part. In the post WWII era, journalism placed a lot of value on accuracy and objectivity. That doesn't mean they always met those goals, but most tried -- the head of the JM department at AU, a former AP Bureau Chief, said the three most important words in Journalism were "Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy."
Now you have a partisan media in disarray because of technology and constant change and the three most important words are "Clicks, Clicks, Clicks."

re: Is your family a net negative for your life?

No.
Every family has challenges, but I can't complain. We worked through the challenges and I was fortunate to have had the parents I had, married the woman I married, and got to know her family. If someone was problematic, and there were a few, we just kept them at arms length.

re: Ancestors that fought in the Civil War?
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 10/1/26 at 7:19 pm to BluegrassCardinal
My father had a grandfather who joined the Union army in North Carolina. Not sure why he was up there because he lived in north Alabama. After serving with them for a couple of years, he then served with the Confederate army until the war ended. He had discharge papers from both armies.
Best I can figure, that part of Alabama had a lot of Union sympathizers and he was a potato famine refugee from Ireland. He probably got swept up by some Confederates pressing men into the army. But then, he had seven daughters, so maybe he just wanted to get out of the house.
My wife's great grandfather fought in just about every major battle Robert E. Lee fought in for all four years and was in the thick of it in Antietam, Petersburg, Chancelersville, the Wilderness, and other places. His war ended at Appomattox Court House. How he survived all four years, beginning as a 16-year-old kid, I don't know. He walked home to south Alabama from Appomattox and lived to be 96. We have a picture of him at the 75th anniversary of Gettysburg. My MiL knew him well.

Walking home from a bar alone at 2am and getting into a car with a stranger is not a good idea.
Poor girl, that's a tough way to learn that lesson. I hope they catch the perp and he spends a long, long time in prison.

I made it and will make it again. I used Tony's Original, but will do something different next time -- just a bit too salty for me.
I also had a tongue in the freezer, so used it instead of a roast and adjusted the cook time, crisping up the already cooked tongue before adding it to the broth with the veggies.
I typically use tongues to make Lengua tacos, but it was really good in this dish -- full of flavor and melted in your mouth.
I also used bucatini because I had it in the cupboard.

re: Mavis Tire
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 9/30/26 at 7:48 am to FAT SEXY
We tried Diutch Bros outsife ABQ. Weak-arse coffee.
Mavis bought out Kaufman. I used to go to Kaufman on occasion for oil changes and tires and they were quick and fair. I took it to Mavis about five years ago and they tried to upsell so much stuff, their total cost of recommended repairs was higher than the Blue Book value of the car. I told the the new manager I would show their recommendations to my mechanic -- who laughed when he read them. Haven't done any of that crap.
That location used to stay busy. Hardly ever see anyone there now.

Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 9/27/26 at 7:29 am to GVT
Nikolai's Roof has been in Atlanta for 50 years or so. I think it is more European than strictly Russian now, and it's temporarily closed whle they renovate the kitchen. but it's still there. There are some other, smaller places that feature cuisine from Georgia (the country), the Balkans, the Stans, and so on, usually mom and pop type places.
re: What’s your favorite ice cream?
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 9/25/26 at 8:56 pm to Tiger503
I can enjoy pretty much any flavor, but lean toward anything with chocolate or dark chocolate. Peach is great if homemade. Tilamook is great out of the store freezer. Walmart's Great Value is surprisingly good.
