  1. I'm not a Vietnam vet. Gulf War vet. Not the same I know.

     

    But as a vet I understand those who don't want to be thanked. I don't like being thanked for my service. I'm genuinely conflicted because I do want to thank others who served but don't want to be thanked myself.

    My previous comment applies to all vets. But with the reception a lot of the Vietnam guys got when they came home, the tone feels different to me, being younger and having not been born at the time.
  2. I couldn't begin to understand. And I never know whether I should thank Vietnam Veterens(keep reading),Or how else to express my sympathy for what they went through. Every Vet I talk to seems to have different feelings about it. They've all had different experiences, being there, and coming home. I generally try to shake a Vet's hand and thank them for their sacrifice, but I've met guys who genuinely didn't want to be thanked. No matter what your reason for going, you sacrificed something along the way, and I thank you.

  3. Best way to deal with the Canadian Goose is to put crushed up rat poison on day old bread/croutons. Throw it in the yard and problem solved.

    Canada goose. And I think some of that shit your grandfather showed you may have left a negative impression. On a related note, I hear geese can be trapped easily by digging a trench about goose shoulder deep, and just over goose width. With a gentle slope on one end, and bait in the trench, the geese will waddle in, and when you run up on them with a stick or hammer or whatever, they don't have enough room to spread their wings or turn around. Whack whack, goose dinner. Only to be used in an actual survival situation probably. I'm not sure that's legal at all. I might have even read that on this forum. Idk. Edited for spelling.
  4. Have you ever attempted to write your own rhyme?

    It's a wonderful way of passing some time.

    Try to be clever,

    Throughout this endeavor,

    Write us limerick that's better than mine.

     

    There was a young man from Kalamazoo.

    He carried a pistol tucked into his shoe.

    While he ran in a race,

    He tripped on his lace.

    Where once there were five, there are now only two.
