And then, it has to be dealt ...Hoss, shit happens.<br /><br />And then, it has to be dealt with.<br /><br />That's life, and that's how life rolls.<br /><br />How you deal with it, is a far, far greater measure of a person, than how you end up. In my humble opinion.<br /><br />Grace under pressure.<br /><br />How ever we measure it . . . .<br /><br />And it's always measured for some fucking strange reason, like love is measured . . . <br /><br />Bottom line? <br /><br />Take care of you, yours and others, as best as one can.<br /><br />That's the measure of the species, IMHO, that's teh measure of us all. How do we take care of ourselves, and each other. <br /><br />You measure up. Solid, hard and at the need.<br /><br />We all try to do so, also . . . . . but thanks for bringing it out in the open.<br /><br />We. All. Try. <br /><br />And fuck the one's who don't. <br /><br />Harumph.Laruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538452152855625864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-75193350434635269122009-04-14T21:34:00.000-07:002009-04-14T21:34:00.000-07:00Busted,

When I was a kid, Old Lady Vannoy used to keep a huge pot of red beans and rice (YUM!!!!) on the stove at all times. Anyone who wandered through was welcome to a bowl. That's called community. That's called friendship. That's called America. Keep on keepin' on my friend, you know what it's all about!

Dad's garden always gave us more than we needed so Mom took the extra to the church so that the migrants that came up to pick the apples had food for their families. Many a Sunday I spent making beans and rice for those folks.<br /><br />It's not just charity, it's humanity. It's what we do. Real people give. We know that our communities need all of us and when one family is down on their luck, we are all diminished. It's the story of Stone Soup.<br /><br />If you can't conceive of this kind of generosity then you are a void, a vacant shell devoid of all life. I place a lot of the Right Wing (bankers, talk radio asses, teabaggers, etc.) in this box.<br /><br />Those fuckers would sooner shoot a brown man than look at him. Giving a family food for free is counter to their small view of the world. If you ain't got the dime, they ain't got the time. Fuck you.<br /><br />So, it's up to us. The economy really doesn't care what color you are so neither should our charity. It's what we do.<br /><br />Thanks, BK. Your example is gospel to us all.David Aquariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357819163784758615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-21743955183134946242009-04-14T09:46:00.000-07:002009-04-14T09:46:00.000-07:00My parents went through the "Great Depression" and...My parents went through the "Great Depression" and they both taught me a lot. Scrimp and save, don't just throw things away cuz ya may need 'em or somebody else may need 'em some day.<br /><br />Community, neighbors, and extended family mean a lot, they are the support group. We gotta take care of each other, cuz those Wall Street pricks and the fuckin' bankers ain't gonna help anyone but each other.Grandpa Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125393059316349669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-36055165930835369232009-04-14T09:29:00.000-07:002009-04-14T09:29:00.000-07:00I always tell my friends "what's mine is yours" an...I always tell my friends "what's mine is yours" and the good thing about friends is that I don't even really have to say it!

They sold our asses out to a bunch of bankers. But it ain't over yet! Stay tuned! More to come!<br /><br />You can go a long ways with that feeling of community.
