Re: Story Time!

Wife: did it help? Yes. My first ambulance partner was a dairy farmer. (keep in mind he was Horning Mennonite!). He would go to the beer distributor and buy the cheapest beer in a glass bottle. When cows would get "twisted stomach" they would pop the cap of the beer bottle and stick it in...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Growing up I was taught it was over state rights and representation. Oh yes, it was about "states rights" too. They were clear on that. Including which RIGHTS they wanted states to have. And also representation (the famous 3/5ths clause). From the same South Carolina article of secession:...
