What's the themostat set at?

dennis31 · Nov 17, 2017

I just found this forum because my old one is becoming defunct in December.

Although I lean slightly conservative I note that the weirdos seem evenly divided among the political parties. At 86 I'm perhaps slightly older than some here, but I've traveled quite a bit to drop in on some interesting places.
Like many I spent a term in the military, which was quite a bore except for the winter/spring of 1953 in Korea when I could shoot at those ChiComs - the nogoodnicks shot back!

After the military I've held only three jobs - the last one ran for 25 years when I retired at the end of 1999. Since then I've attempted to refine my ability to complain and gripe - not quite there yet but trying.

Welcome, Dennis! It's good to see someone with a little life experience here. You beat me by 11 years.

Our home thermostat is not set. We're in California, and have yet to turn on the heat this year.
DP's thermostat is set pretty much in the center, despite a few extremist nutjobs on the fringe ends.

Welcome to DP, sir, glad to see an old conservative here. I always appreciate meeting conservatives from a time before conservative meant lunatic. Best of luck on the forum, hope to see you around.

Welcome! We keep ours at 75 or so, 65 at bedtime.

During the Korean War, I remember my dad used to do tax returns for veterans free of charge, and I used to go to the blood bank with him when he gave blood. It was an office next to a huge water tower. My dad told me it was full of bold!

Looking forward to reading your posts.

A missive from down under! Now, that's a place I always wanted to visit but never found the excuse (with money) to go there. While you're researching ancient lingo please keep a careful eye on BHP, because that outfit is all over the world.

Asked who he talks with “consistently” about foreign affairs, Mr. Trump responded, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things.”

Proof that now someone with Down's syndrome can attain the White House.

Trump definitely has an unusual way of communicating, that's for sure

1999? You must be good at the gripe and complain thing by now.

Thermostat is 67. I feel guilty when I have to raise it, occasionally. I think if you put a small pebble in each shoe, it will make it easier to get your full mojo going in the complain and gripe area. I'm a Nam vet and couldn't figure which side was the nogoodnicks. The ROKs in Nam were mean litlle puckers. You'll have a dandy time here. Hardheads, morons, partisans, some educated beyond their own intelligence, rhinestone Patriots, poster childs for propaganda outlets, and the curious populate this tiny oasis in a World with a screw loose. Not that there aren't a few loose screws in the mix as well. The loose screws enhance the discussion like the difference between black and white TV and Color TY. The flamin' nutballs raise discussion temperatures, and inflated egos cry out for a quick puncture. Welcome!

Welcome, Dennis! You and I shall both teach these whipper-snappers a thing or two!

Okay, guys, I know... I’ve never taught any of you a damned thing, but still.....

dennis31 · Nov 17, 2017

Thank you. Thirteen years after I'd exited from the military my employer graciously allowed me to spend 19 months there in Nam. Got there in Jan 68 just in time to "enjoy" Tet. But, no problem, my little card said in both English and French "I'm a civilian so you may not shoot me."

Certainly sounds like Military logic to me. Don't write the message in Vietnamese since you're in Vietnam. You must have been in Saigon, "the Pearl of the Orient," and it certainly was. Spent some great times there myself.

Yeah it is all fun down in the pacifica. Betwen the us aggressive coorporate assault and the chinese passive smile, handshake and a knife in the back style of doing business it becomes a choosing of the lesser evil.

Years ago I had an internet acquaintance who lived near Christchurch. He blamed all those problems on too many Waloons and not enough Flemish.

aotearoa, once meant the land of the long white cloud. Now it is defined as the land of the wrong white crowd.

dennis31 · Nov 19, 2017

Alas, since I retired in late 1999 no one seems to want to fund my travels, so my reams of visiting "Down Under" and/or NZ have been crushed. Say- you wouldn't happen to have a few thousand dollars you don't need, do you?

Welcome!

68 during the day, throw an extra blanket on the bed at night it's set on 59. Great sleep temp.
