Im pretty sure those fridges were from the 70's. There were two colors, "harvest" green or gold. They became ugly to everyone over the years as the colors became "dated." Now we wish we still had one🤗
Those fridges are becoming vintage and retro again. All you have to do is wait 10-20 years for the new ones to all stop working while that guy is going strong so that people really appreciate it!
One of the avocado-green models dutifully chilled cerveza in my parents' garage for at least 40 years. Once a year or so, maintenance amounted to unplugging it, thawing and chopping two inches of frost out of the freezer, and plugging it back in. I'd bet it's still chillin like a champ.
From President Dwight Eisenhower's Cross of Iron Speech:
The worst to be feared and the best to be expected can be simply stated.
The worst is atomic war.
The best would be this: a life of perpetual fear and tension; a burden of arms draining the wealthand the labor of all peoples; a wasting of strength that defies the American system or the Soviet system or any system to achieve true abundance and happiness for the peoples of this earth.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms in not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.
It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.
It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
Eisenhower also said: "Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy."
Clearly women are still having children even if the raw numbers of babies born are catastrophically down in many places. Bringing a child into this world for me ultimately becomes about whether you trust in God, the creator if life, or not. I trust in God...
Yes I have seen tht article. For awhile I was running numbers from their statistics bureau but they made it very hard to accesss raw data on births abd deaths in late 2022 or so. I might try again. Now on the ground here I see a fairly high number of babies, which is a good sign. I bsiclly didn't see a pregnant woman or a baby in all of 2021, though some may have been hiding due to the coof. People are slowly whiplashing back and realizing that population decline is an actual problem but it is agonizingly slow to turn the ship around
New appliances, like the gdam stupid smartmeters, are inherently fragile, and in the case of the meters, not UL listed and fire prone, emitting lots of EMFs that make my ears ring and heart thump. The only new appliances I have bought, a washer'dryer (big mistake), my dryer 'control panel' failed after 2 years of use and had to be replaced this week. I had miraculously prepaid for a service program and it alone was 300 bucks. Not meant to last, expensive to repair, never again. Old is gold.
I'm the same way with everything. We bought some cheapo power drill for the work I was doing at the Las Vegas house. It went to crap after a very short time. I found my father's ancient drill in the garage it's from the early 1970's. You have to plug it in but it still works fine. Unfortunately I never found the drill bit so replacing items is a pain, but quality has decreased so much that I buy second hand everything. I can't imagine wanting one of these newfangled cars for instance my brother's newish model always seems to have some stupid computer glitch that costs a few thousand bucks to repair. Why would I want a car that is also a computer when both systems have been rendered ridiculously complicated and overpriced and slow?
Title, an attitude of I can buy have do be anything.
Every person becomes an object of possession and transaction. Everybody is a pirate. The young Taiwan ladies, the 2 Russian men money, decadence and no morality. That’s just the monopoly game board of this plane. Glad the virtue signaling of I Got My Shot is over. Now it’s considered impolite to ask. Interesting about the Doc blood 🩸 yet the conventional medicine has not offered any solutions to the vaxxine poisons.
Enjoy your adventures at least and at best you are together. 🌷
It fascinates me what type of traumas were inflicted on a child to come into that idea of life. At least the bed is comfortable here. Nobdy wants to remember or think about it. It's hard to find solutions when you won't admit there are problems...
IMO, you and Ka both dealt righteously with creepy bears. Kudos to Ka. (How's that for a bumper sticker?) He’s a real man, laboring in the heat to feed his family and standing up for his woman’s honor. Kudos to you too, a real woman defusing violence to protect her man. Vive la difference. That’s authentic strength in diversity.
Hooray for the passport! Tell them to take their jab and shove it, then come back to the US and fight alongside us.
We're heading up to Bangkok either tonight or tomorrow methinks. What I've been doing for the past 12 days here is hedging my bets on all sides: keeping him working in good standing with the boss in case things go South on the visa while simultaneously waiting on the passport and making plans to get out of dodge hopefully with him. He wants to come to America very much. He's still got the %&$#@ jab mandate to contend with but I'm thinking celebrating our birthdays in the big city is the lay of the land right now
I was posting the second in a series (hopefully just two) on Christian Nationalism and I came across your column. Good show as usual, I wish I still had my 1990 refrigerator. Hell, I wish I had Edgar Ritchie's 1950's refrigerator. A "Firestone," it really wasn't a very good refrigerator, but it may have been the world' greatest freezer. Seriously, you could put a 6 pack of beer in this thing and if you waited 46 minutes (this was early 70's) it was froze solid, you'd have to get another 6-pak, because you weren't going to drink that one, you could eat it.
It's so hard to comment - because all I want to say these days is: Those F*****s! When will it stop!??

finally- passport ! great news Amy! And yeah I agree, don't poke the bears.

I like Ike and that was one of my favorite speeches by any president ever. Thank you for sharing...
Amy did you see this article? Troubling to say the least.
"Experts predict Thailand’s population will decrease by half in 60 years"
https://nypost.com/2024/03/12/world-news/experts-predict-thailands-population-will-halve-by-2084-as-birthrate-rapidly-declines/
I expect this is a global prediction. Certainly not limited to Thailand.
Assuming it is even possible to conceive and bring a fetus to term these days, who would bring a child into this clown world?

beautiful stuff
Money 💰 cash is king. Money is the god of power

Good food company and comfy bed and safe place, all simple profound necessities luxuries.,
Well yes have to admit there is a problem
To begin to solve it.
Do you mean the traumas of the tyrannical Covid ?? I think you do.
If that’s what you meant if people just
Simply forget or not acknowledge the fuckery perpetrated then this cycle
Will not end. Victims our fate is not in our power, nor is God available to help!
F that attitude…I just got hit by the biggest lie in history
Ok now how do I go about facing
This “Bus”
use my voice
Use my words
Use my channeled fury and rage
Impose truth on my circumstances
So far not one person hung yet
4 years gears of Justice move slow
Great post, and you saved the best for the end----sweet photo.

Sounds like a good plan. Bon chance. Are you and I and Shakespeare the only people still using “methinks”? = : )
Perhaps we are! Then again perhaps is another Shakesperean word. Or is it perchance?
Mayhap!
OT. Are you all aware of this:

Not that one specifically but they have all of this money sloshing around at the top so it is not surprising...

Tell Ka I said hello. and stay safe.
So happy about passport news!!!
Congrats on the passport!
It's a bad virus contagion outbreak panic waiting on the brave scientists with their vaccine cure movie that I'd prefer to never see again...
