Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Traitors in our Midst



So, it's Saturday and as usual I have to work.  This is also the first Saturday of the month so we host a Kid's Workshop, where parents bring their kids to work on very easy projects: a toy car, a bank, things a child could assemble with supervision.  The kids get little aprons.  We usually get about 250 - 300 kids.  They tend to tie up the restrooms, especially when they get to paint. (yes, they get to paint).  For those who don't realize it, this is essentially a marketing tool which turned into a fairly successful outreach program. 
Yesterday I had the interesting experience of getting to work with 2 different couples planning doing their own tile jobs.  The first was planning a back splash, easy peasy.  I gave them some color suggestions and answered their relatively simple questions.  They told me how they'd already started by watching YouTube videos... lots of them.  I have no doubt their back splash will end up looking fine.  The other couple?  They were very, very nice, though definitely not the YouTube kind of people.  They were tiling an entryway floor - very difficult.  The floor needs to be level or your tile will probably end up cracking.  This couple thought grout was what you used to adhere the tile to the floor.  I explained to them about thin set (mortar) and talked them through the application process.  I don't think they retained much.  I hope their floor looks nice when they're finished.  What most likely will happen is that they'll realize the difficulty and return everything they bought.
Right now Big Seig is lying next to me resting.  Earlier he was running around downstairs with an afghan in his mouth.

I figured I'd better clarify that.
And, of course, Bowe Bergdhal received a dishonorable discharge from the United States Army yesterday.  While on the campaign trail the Idiot Jerk in the White House repeatedly said he should be executed as a traitor.  What Bergdhal did was walk away from his post only to find himself captured by the Taliban.  There was no collusion there, he didn't run to his captors spilling secrets... or asking for dirt on the Clinton campaign.  Do you see where I'm going here?  What's worse, Bergdhal abandoning his post or Donnie Jr. sitting down with a Russian attorney to "get dirt."  What's worse, the Idiot Jerk knowing about the meeting and approving it, or Bergdhal being kept in a cage for 4 years? Currently, 61% of Americans believe the Idiot Jerk knew exactly what was going on.  That's not a good statistic for the Idiot Jerk.
Just like with the afghans, there needs to be definition.  I mean, just who is the real traitor here?

  1. I still don't like the idea of a Draft Dodger having any say in military matters. Go rub a bone spur, motherf**ker.

    We've done floor tiling ourselves and it was fairly easy but, yeah, make sure you're level or else!

    1. Levelness is essential, something the Idiot Jerk in the White will never be.

    1. The problem is that most people associate bone spurs with feet, his are in his head.

  3. I love the idea your company does that. With so many cut programs in schools, kids these days never experience the art, industrial arts, and home mec like we did. I know it taught me several survival tips and know how.

    1. Like I said, it started out as an idea to get people into the store to buy... and turned into something bigger and much, much better.

    1. No, I suffer through it, and let me tell you, sometimes the sound of all those little hammers missing their nails rattles the foundations of the building.
