People of any city USA groups

-

These Facebook groups are full of idiots.  The questions people ask are ridiculous and the people that answer these posed questions are trying to be do gooders.   Like figure it out by yourself.  You aren't entitled to the information residents have cultivated over decades of living somewhere.  Don't appropriate the things it's taken years to learn.  You need to figure out the bad places before you get to know the good places.  Discover the community yourself - the way we did it back in the day.  

Where's the best seafood place that not expensive?  How about Red Lobster.  The real place is Walt's Fish Market.

A nice Italian restaurant?  Olive Garden.  You don't get to know Reale's without discovering it yourself.

I need an attorney to draw up a will.  Recommendations please.  Do your own research and educate yourself by doing something more than throwing a question to the rest of us.  

Where's a good place to take my wife for our anniversary?  Hey dickwad try McDonalds.  

Where's a good place for auto repair that's not too expensive.  Go to MIDAS and get dicked and try somewhere else until you eventually find a place like charlies.  

You don't get this information because you ask for it.  It's a right of passage and you earn it by being a member of the community and exploring it yourself.  Not by freeloading off of and cherry picking the experience of others.  It takes years to integrate and become a member of the community.  You're not entitled to the best a community has to offer without finding it yourself.  Like we did.  Cultural mooch.

And all these people genuinely answering this questions to be helpful and experts in their community should shut up when they complain that they used to be able to walk in and get seated relatively quickly at their favorite Italian place and now the wait is consistently 45 minutes to an hour.  You did that. 

If you cared about the integrity of the community you'd keep your knowledge to yourself.  DOn't bitch about how good the way things used to be.

Insider information is shared among friends and not broadcasted over the internet for free.  That's what advertising is for.  There's a price of admission to be in the know about the community you live in.  It's called time and planting roots in a community so one day you can enjoy the experience of the fruit the tree bears.   

Cheap people too lazy to figure things out themselves. Freeloading, lazy sons of bitches.  GTFAH.

I shoulda been a mechanic

-
I often say I should have been a mechanic or a carpenter.  Probably mechanic.  Our front door lock mechanism has been acting up.  It has a typical entry from the front where you push down with your thumb to turn the cylinder to open the door.  The back of the door door knob fell off because it had gotten loose and stripped out the holes.  Turns it out it was much more than that - I had to figure out how to get the entire front pull door handle off to fix it because the latch mechanism fell apart.  I learned this after replacing the door knob and it was still not working properly.  I figured out how to get the pull door handle off and it hit the ground and fell apart into like a dozen different pieces.  I had never seen the mechanism together....  with some trial and error I figured out how it works and was able to time the mechanism and put it back together.  I rebuilt it!!  All the plates, gears, levers, pins, springs and gears. ...

My Mom Died

-
On Monday my mom proclaimed the promise of her baptism. After years of suffering from dementia, she was restored; made whole on the other side. One thing you may not know about my mom is she was tough as nails while having the grace of an angel. She carried my dad through some medical scares and was a huge advocate to him getting the care he needed with her medical background as a registered nurse. Roughly 10 years ago I was charged with taking mom back to Pennsylvania to see her dad, my pappy when he moved into a nursing home. We went to his house and there had been some changes to the back porch. It was my job to take care of mom. I saw my uncle and leapt up onto the raised porch. There used to be a railing around the porch. Mom tried to do the same and tripped on the ledge letting out a yell. Her leg got pretty torn up and was bleeding pretty bad. We got her into the house and decided she needed to go to the hospital. Mom never flinched or complained about the situati...

I've seen things

-
The last couple days of my mom's life...  don't quite know what to say about them.  I remember last Sunday when I came to her house and saw her slumped in the chair barely able to move after the medication fell out of her mouth and onto her shirt.  No one was available to change her shirt.  I asked my Dad if he would do it and he declined.  I did it.  It was the most awkward thing.  I had her told the clean shirt up to cover herself as I carefully removed the dirty shirt.  I planted by eyes next to her head looking at the back to her chair and was able to help my Mom be comfortable while preserving her dignity.  There are some things about your parents that you shouldn't know.  Like what an 80 year old body looks like while deprived of nutrients and exercise....  So there was that. Then seeing my Mom in the hospital bed after she could no longer walk.  Laying there with her head cocked to the side and her mouth open as dying pr...
