Tips From the Redneck Book of Manners
DINING OUT
1. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.
2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor as the restaurant may not have dogs.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his manners are.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
DATING (Outside the Family)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back sodas.
5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.

A man sped down the highway, feeling secure in a group of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, when he passed a patrol car, it pulled out behind him, lights flashing. The police officer handed him a citation, took the driver's signature and was starting to walk away when the man said, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't think it's fair. Plenty of other drivers around me were going just as fast. Why did I get a ticket?" "Ever go fishing?" the policeman asked. "Um, yeah ..." the startled man replied. "Ever catch all the fish?"

Kirsten….. Try to understand and keep up, I don’t need anymore beers. I just think at different levels than many people do. And of course I worry and fuss a lot. To me it’s not about us, it’s about the world. :-)

Dear diary: IGS still had eggnog on sale so I bought another quart. Then I got a wild hair up my butt to make eggnog french toast. I took Helen some also, it is very good. In looking at the weather around much of the planet I see plenty of problems. But the weather here in Gods country is still pretty mild for winter, some rain, but it brings new life.

What percentage of the trillions of dollars of dollars circulating in our country exists in the form of actual cash?
Less than ten percent. The rest is digital or notational-it’s written down somewhere! And about half of those trillions of digital dollars bounces around between locations every business day. Most of our country’s money exists only as sums in bank accounts.
What a scam our monetary system is. It’s all magic bullshit and gunsmoke. Those in power create all the fake money they like. Everyone else has to work hard for it, or beg for it. They should just make more figures and give them to us, there isn’t anything holding it all up anyway so why not make everyone rich? Then we would all buy more of their shit and everyone would be happier. But maybe they don’t because then they couldn’t get anyone to work for them.
I saw the pic of you in the robe. That's the kind of robe the Arabs are using in their daily life called "Gallabeia". I thought you didn't like muslim ... but you dress like one, Billy.
The famous bank robbers of the depression used to burn farm mortages when they robbed banks.
I wonder if some Robin hood computer hacker could do the same thing.
Kirsten, the robe hasn't got anything to do with Muslim's, there was a lot of similar gear worn in the old west also. Robes like that was around long before Muslim's. It's just something spiritual to me.
To many Muslim's are heathens, they are less evolved than Christians.
I can't speak for BBC, obviously, Kirsten, but here is my take:
I reject Islam because it is another male-dominated misogynist religion aimed at subjugating women. I rejected Christianity for the same reason. I am not the "property" of anyone but myself and the Deity. (Whom BBC will tell you IS myself, I suspect)
There are plenty of reasons why I reject Islam - actually, the dress-code IS one of them, but not the ONLY one.
The entire "hijab" and "abaya" issue revolts me, as it seems to indicate that men are helpless pigs who cannot control themselves and simply MUST RAPE any woman not hiding in a tent.
If you CHOOSE to wear hijab or abaya, that is one thing - to be FORCED to do so, or threatened with rape or worse if you do not - is repulsive, repugnant and disgusting.
Quite frankly, I think your men look STUPID in their dresses and with tea-towels on their heads. But fashion changes, and perhaps some day they'll take some pride in their appearance, rather than strutting about like raggedy-andy bantam roosters.
But that's just me - and your mileage may vary.
Very well said Sewmouse.
We have a dress code here, but not all of us want to wear dresses. LOL
Paris... I will post pictures of the interior of the camp trailer tomorrow. They will be ugly. :-)
Tahnks for the supportive comment on my blog, BBC.

Sincerely,
Anne
wow - i see the new year has you up to your regular tricks! grin!
keep warm up there!!
It's nice to know that i've met someone in the cyber world with a high sense of spirituality and respect for native americans. It makes me feel like the world still has hope. Sorry i've not been able to blog about some of what you requested but in my last blog i wrote about my experiences, although i will not write anymore posts...i will like to know if you have had similar experiences.
Thanks for the small advices you have given me, i call them advices because it means so much then getting it from an "expert" like a psychiatrist or a fortune teller.
Take care,
touches shoulder.
Sorry in my culture we don't hug or shake hands. I'm single handedly trying to change that in this society embedded in conventionality.
