Yeah, I'm good. Just got done grilling some bacon burgers on my new charcoal grill.

I am however disappointed that I couldn't buy my first suppressor this weekend though,  the shop I decided to use had no internet so they couldn't make any sales.

I also had my be pellet stove installed this week.

Whatever you do don't play this video or the song will be stuck in your head. Oh...and you'll be craving beans with bacon, I just put some Pinto beans in the crock pot.


Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton


In 1814, we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

The pick up lane at my kids school is a nightmare. Two lanes have to merge into one & you’d think it was the thunderdome.

Well maybe because our lives are being dictated by these old people that don't know us. I see the direct results of their actions at the gas pump, my electric bill, grocery store, weaponazation of the government against ordinary Americans and prosecuting political opponents. Sorry but I just can't ignore these things that are effecting my everyday life. I can bury my head in the sand and live in a bubble.

But that said I'm OK but I most certainly am not happy about what I see happening

So we can not control our world so we must accept it and be happy so just lay down and surrender. Sounds more like defeatist and giving up to me.

I'm not miserable, I'm angry there's a huge difference some can't distinguish between the two or try and twist the meaning of the two.

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out - yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burnin' through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I get that.  We shouldn't just ignore things for the sake of happiness.  What do you think you could get out there and do to change it?  Sometimes you can focus your anger to do things that make a difference.  Being angry is not always a bad thing, but being angry at everything and everyone is.

I am fortunate because I realize that life could be a whole lot worse, and I realize how good life has been to me.  I think it is largely the way we look at things.  Money doesn't make people happy, but it doesn't hurt all that much.  I have known a number of really miserable rich people, and conversely a number of very happy people who have mediocre incomes.

@DK-Prof

Some of us do understand that and are doing our best not to inflict that on others. Sometimes it gets out, at least for myself I don't intend or mean it.
I spend all my energy making good for those around me and sometimes lose the ability to make best for myself.

There's only so much one person can do sometimes.

Please stop right there. I never said in any in any of my posts I was angry at everything and everyone

But some of the replies to my posts here are a joke and being spun into something that suits their opinion

Thank God our Founding Fathers were so miserable and angry they eventually did do something. Instead of excepting things because others said you can't change it. If you express your anger you are a miserable person and hate everyone and everything thing.

I'm glad people are happy. I really am. But there's a huge difference between miserable and anger. Plus I never said anywhere I lived in constant anger either. But no one better not dare display any contempt or anger and we better just except what's thrown at us and be happy with because there's nothing anyone can do about it. I seen people everyday standing up and saying no to this. Are they miserable for fighting back or just angry and refuse to except the intrusion into their lifes.

Oh never mind it's not worth it.

Yes.  The Serenity prayer in different words.  Accept what you cannot change, ask for courage to change the things you can.

Maybe it's more prevalent in Texas, but it seems like people get behind the wheel and lose their minds. Driving around DFW I cannot imagine the stress and energy required to be angry the whole time. Somehow I'm immune to road rage, and it's wonderful.
