I agree with you, rv happens the first thing I will buy is a Golden Retriever, had them since 74. Now Amber my 9 yr old Golden , got them at 6 weeks, wants me to adopt her a sister, we lost her sister 3 yrs ago. She won't play with another dog unless it is a Golden plus she hasn't slept in my bed since then either. Goldens are a fantastic breed BUT only as a house dog they love us humans too . much, they are family. Take a dampen palm rub their hair and it just rolls off, works on long hair not short hair. for now Moxie Amber , my son Steven as their favorite pillow, Cinder aka lap dog one we lost. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbtr Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Adam, thank you, as always. The oil pricing is definitely the key for all things RV, the winter projections on pricing: Worldwide crude oil prices will average $64 a barrel in the second half of 2019 and $65/b in 2020. That's according to the Short-term Energy Outlook by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Go RV!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND while people are running around with their hair seemingly on fire (claiming the Amazon is on fire and the earth is going to suffocate if we don't get a $15/hour wage like the Chinese pay their workers)...er, wait...sorry, I may be going off on a rant here... I think I'll go to the local employee-free McDonalds and order something from one of the kiosks that notifies the machine in back how I want my Amazonian-rain-forest burger cooked while I pour my own beverage and enjoy a meal not unlike our President. I may have to bus my own table, but at least I won't have to deal with employees... HAPPY LABOR DAY AMERICA! GO RV!

I understand there are times where there is injustice, but obedience to authority is paramount to growth. Ask any parent with a teenager who did not learn that. I could not disagree more. I actually have taught thousands of teenagers exactly that, to question authority. Blind adherence to the demands of others creates mindless robots. Just imagine how different the world might be today if in Germany during World War II people had stood up and questioned what the Nazis were doing with the Holocaust? Doing something because they are ordered to do it I do not believe is Paramount to HEALTHY growth. I am not saying blatant disregard for authority, but rather to be respectful and think. In legal-ease it may be considered complying with the intent of the law. In the case of having a teenage child and asking things of them I am much more in favor of the child asking why and then the parent actually taking the time to explain it to the child why they are being asked to do whatever it is. I'm not saying to make it the game on the teenagers part, and simply saying why? In my experience, as you teach people to think, develop, and support ideas and beliefs, and then support their thoughts, opinions or beliefs, actually leads to far greater development, understanding , and growth. I also believe that actions have consequences, however I could discuss with you that it might not be a good idea to stick your hand into a fire because you'll get burned, or I could just sit back and watch you do it experience the consequences firsthand. And of course leads to another issue, and that is Trust or belief and Reliance on others. Again I am not saying disobedience in the case of driving 80 miles an hour through a residential district, and then when stopped by the police and we are stopped and given given a ticket and you ask why? Well certainly you could ask why, and the police officer I'm sure would be happy to tell you that it's against the law, and if you relied with the intent of the law was to keep people safe but keeping the speed limit down and there's your answer, as well as the consequences for your actions. I feel too many people blindly accept what they are told which leads to a number problems. One of the most common things we hear is when asked why they did something it's because everyone else is doing it. Or I may be independent, Democrat, Republican, green party or whatever it is what someone identifies with, and then when asked why they do they respond something along the line that was what my parents or my whole family is, but they're unable to sure what it is that they actually believe rather than parrot back someone else's beliefs. I am pretty sure that Bill Gates parents we're not all that upset with him questioning authority and asking why he needed to go to college? I believe questioning Authority can be done very respectfully, and I absolutely support that. I also believe we have some unjust laws or rules, often passed with the best of intentions (like we did with Prohibition in this country) then unfortunately we have people that are elected to create those laws on our behalf that could be toward own detriment. In the case of the politician who wanted to pass a bill to round Pi down to only two decimal points. I certainly would not want to be driving on the bridge that had been designed by someone who only used that version of Pi to design it. These are simply my observations and opinions, and I could be wrong. Thank you for the notice and sharing your opinion as well. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly enjoy your posts. I may not always agree with EVERY word, but I certainly always walk away with a reason to ponder why I believe what I think I believe! Sometimes I am more convinced that I need to trudge on with my belief. Sometimes, my belief is solid, but my reasoning needs evaluation. And sometimes, I may need to reevaluate what it is I believe AND the reasons for it! In short, for an open minded person who knows that life is a journey of growth, you provoke thought. Maybe that is what our society needs more of...? You and yours stay safe!

I remember when our kids were in elementary school, we observed 'values clarification' and 'secular humanism' creeping in. We adjusted our budget and put the kids into a private Christian school. As adults, they have re-evaluated their belief system and developed their own strong relationship with God and His Word. Because of their upbringing, they have a strong moral and spiritual compass. We even disagree on some issues, but they have a solid understanding of God as the ultimate authority. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my grandchildren being raised in the faith. 3 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
