Maybe go to the barber shop and have them give you all the hair they swept from the floor, then spread it around the lawn?

I say keep them around, keep them happy, support them, shelter them and feed them, as someone needs to pay-down that $31T debt.

But if you need a real solution, keep all your TVs on 24/7/365 with Fox News locked in, no way to change the channel.

But no one wants to go into work and they don't want to work for less than $20 an hour because we have all been told every job should pay a livable wage, even if you don't have any skills.

Oh, I don't have any of them, but there is sure to be a flood of them moving into the neighborhood in about 6 months. Maybe I should stick a statue of R.E. Lee in my front yard now or something?

I would not recommend that unless you want your house vandalized. And why in 6 months?

That's why I won't put one up, that and the fact that I've already gone a round with the HOA about flags. Texas law prevents HOA's from preventing the US flag, Texas state flag, and US military flags from being flown. Once I explained to the HOA that the Gadsden flag, and the Appeal to Heaven flags were both flags used by our armed forces, they immediately backed off.

I do have a Come and Take it flag that I haven't yet flown, because I don't think any but the broadest interpretations of the Texas law would protect that. I do plan on flying it during a holiday here and there, since holiday displays, within appropriate time limits around said holidays, aren't prohibited.

"Why yes, I am celebrating Thanksgiving.....that's what the Come and Take it flag is for! You celebrate your way, I'll celebrate my way."

Explain to them that you identify it as an American Flag and to dispute that with you would be to deny your personal definition of an American Flag. You are icon-fluid. Your pronouns are Patriot and Patriotic.

Easy. Just start talking about facts. Things like it was the Democrats that opposed the abolishment of slavery. It was the Democrats who fought to deny freed slaves from having citizenry. It was the Democrats that fought, nearly all the way through the 20th century, to deny black people civil rights, including the right to vote. If they haven't run screaming by then (rare, they have pretty much ALWAYS run from me by then), start talking about the "science" behind the "XX" chromosomes and the "XY" chromosomes.

She writes this article like it's bad to be pro-business. You think we would have had a chance in World Wars if we decided to go agrarian from the get-go?

I was thinking of the statue more as bait. When they come into the yard to attack it they'ed be trespassing and easier to trap and release elsewhere.

It'll be about 6 months until a horde of new houses are finished acrossed the street here we've always had a wooded area.....trying to figure out how to be the worst, most annoying "neighbor" ever.

Ahhh got it. You're ****ed. The statue might work but make sure you have enough traps on hand. Don't forget to put some IPA for extra bait.

Why not figure out how to move to a better area?

Like realtionships on Facebook, it's complicated. Long term injury leading to long term unemployment and trashed finances....not to mention being forced out of MY home of 50 some years....


....but had a couple new ideas this past weekend I am investigating now.

My two boys still live at home because I let them. 22 and 19. I like having free labor and they are great kids (young men). Both conservative and both have good jobs and help out around the house all the time.
