Maybe seen more of the world than you flyboy.Mexico is nice,go past the border towns and see.Ive never heard anything bad about Puerto Vallarta from anyone,the pics are amazing.Its beautiful there.She was in Guadalajara and also loved it.
Some illegals here,mostly around Tyson’s chicken plants,but most are now from Central America.


Omg! I can't stop laughing! She called you "flyboy". What the hell is that about?! :mrgreen:

For some reason, it reminds me of a ZZTop song...


He was USAF so a flyboy.My family was Army.


I have to admit, it's catchy. I may have to start calling him that. :mrgreen:

Ask him if he ever flew one of those bad boys,I think he was a mechanic.lol
The only plane I'd consider flying on would be a C-130 ,the safety record is incredible.Id start a no frill airline,call it Spartan Air,no frills,you ride strapped down but arrive alive.That would be the slogan.lol
Anyway,off topic you should consider adopting a soldier.I did,I couldn't stand the thought of someone serving and not getting a letter from home.
Anyway,I hope Waldo is better.Even though we have differences in opnion,I know you love your pet with all your heart.

Thank you, Miss M. Waldo is doing just fine now that his Mummy is home, but I go back to work tomorrow so we'll see. How does one go about adopting a soldier?

This is the site I used.
http://adoptaussoldier.org
Some of our soldiers have no family to write them,when you sign up you agree to write a letter once a week and send a care package if you want.The package is not mandatory but it's nice to do for someone.

There is nothing wrong with the people or the natural landscapes of these countries that have been given this unfortunate label. People who have visited developing nations are more educated and enriched from their experiences (I'm one of those) and appreciative of the obstacles and challenges these countries and their people face.

On the other hand there seems considerable international consensus that a certain POTUS has a mouth that is a sh**hole

How so? Oh I see it now, they have the latest iPhone and not the oldest. At least, that's the case with just about everyone I seen checking out with EBT... US poverty today equals third world richest in overall life comfort.

that is total BS. you are "seeing" through the rose-colored filter of the right-wing social Darwinists who think the poor love being poor. I can't afford ANY GD iPhone or its expensive service charges. or ANY cellphone service AT ALL that works in my neck of the woods - much less a humongous tv set. what does that make me? go ahead and perpetuate that GD lie of lyin Ronnie Raygun about "welfare Cadillac queens" and such. that doesn't make those lies any more the truth to anybody who can rub two neurons together and who has seen how the poor live in my area. :roll:

Indeed,my ex hopped trains when he was a teen,the poor folk that lived by the tracks would feed you.

those "bulls" were a real-life example of Jay Gould's wanting to hire one part of the working class to kill off the other part.

Nowadays it's the police force,shooting unarmed people on the back.Not that all cops are bad,some are great civil servants.But so many bad eggs who just want to be bullies.
