Strange night last night...

I believe you're correct. He recently commented on a welding post and from my limited knowledge of welding, his information seemed good.

He definitely knows about welding. That's when I got really frustrated trying to understand him... there was a good discussion about welding rods which I learned a lot from, and it would have really been nice to know what he was saying.

It’s close enough to ‘redneck’ that I understand him just fine.

(removed) speaks somthing close to English. I think Macinnis might have you two confused.

I think (removed) is as sharp as a tack, and I enjoy his cajun lingo put on.
While in the USN, I lived in cajun land for a few months.
Great people/great food!

Glad to help out. I hope I'm correct.

I understand talking cajun. I just wonder if they teach the spelling and grammar that (removed) uses in the school he went to. If my parents were around, they would slap me if I wrote like that. My Dad routinely said that he paid taxes for me to learn in school and that I had better use what I learned. Maybe some schools are teaching spelling and grammar that way or maybe (removed) needs some remedial education.
Kind of reminds me of Alec Baldwin's wife and her fake spanish accent when she was born in Boston.

Because some things are the parent's job.

In too many cases its a PARENT, single

Some of the biggest rednecks I ever met are from Newark Valley, NY... Great bunch of guys!

Isn't that what's know locally as "Swamp Yankees"? After watching "Southern Comfort", I am very leery!

When we moved to Virginia it was the first week of July. Brand new surroundings, house in the middle of 80 acres, and so black at night you can't see your hand in front of your face. Closet neighbors several hundred yards away. The second night we were in the house, probably close to midnight, all of a sudden there were gunshots everywhere, and all bam, bam, bam... I about *&%^ a brick. This went on for 10 minutes it seemed. Grabbed my Benelli M4 and out the door I went, in the pitch dark. Circled the house, looking into the tress, wondering what the h ell was going on and where did I just move to. Anyway... I get back to the front door and my wife is standing there just laughing, what? I said. Without missing a beat, she says, Hey numbn*ts... It's 4th of July!!!

Your old lady knows you well

Re (removed)

Think I figured him.

He two finger types his posts, makes many typos and is not wanting to correct so he's adopted that 'Cajun' like dialect.
Plus his computer lacks 'auto correct' feature.

Yes, that is exactly what I did. I apologize fried1765.

To answer your question about the mckloskys? case...it was all political. The city cops can not stand the prosecuting atty. she is super liberal...refuses to prosecute certain crimes...so the cops make arrests only to see them walk.

Like anyplace, St. Louis is a nice place to live...but there are parts you just don稚 go. The mcklusky? neighborhood is in an affluent section, near downtown. They spent millions rehabbing it and it痴 an amazing house inside.

Anyway, they were prosecuted for brandishing a weapon, but I believe the charges have been dismissed. Once again, the liberal prosecutor overstepped her authority for politics.

But Missouri does extend the castle doctrine to outside of the home.

43 years, she should... But, to be perfectly honest, Numbnuts is my given Christian name...

Daughter was home by herself and had a strange person walk up to her door after 9pm. Just as the person reached her door, her ring camera went out.

She called us freaking out, so wife and I ran over to her place, with the pistol and spot light.

I walked around the place and couldn't find anything other then an Amazon package on her doorstep.

Course she was 8 months pregnant and hormonal, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

She was worried because her husband had their gun.

I pointed out that she has a highly protective 95 lb German shepherd that will bite someone if they try to come in the house uninvited.

All she had to do would be to get him to bark or growl, and no one in their right mind would try come into the house.

Granted he screams like an excited little girl when grandpa comes over So he can be misleading sometimes

No doubt. I have yet to own a dog that did not intuitively protect our home or family. Granted they may not necessarily attack, but they would always make it clear when things weren't right.
I walked into my home late one night (unusual) and was curious why our German Shepherd didn't announce me... I stopped a few feet in, and she started a very quiet, but scary growl with her hair up like a razor in a stance ready to jump from 20' away. A few quick words and she was fine.

The charges haven’t been dropped yet. A judge disqualified the prosecutor from the wife’s case due to the prosecutor mentioning that case in a campaign ad.

The governor promised months ago to pardon any convictions in the case - before he was re-elected in November by a wide margin.

The prosecutor is a piece of work - having pursued charges against the former governor for an affair and getting in trouble for lying.

STL politics - like almost all big cities - is a mess and population losses and resulting revenue losses are making a bad situation untenable.

Where i live and also at my farm you can hear poeple talking from a long ways away. My buddies cabin is a half mile away and i hear them on the porch talking all the time. maybe the intruders were further away than they thought.

I’ve found that to be true as well. I can never understand the conversation but can hear them quite well. The other thing that took some time to get used to was how sound bounces off tree lines, etc. Seceral times one of my neighbors will start a tractor to move some hay and at first I thought someone was in my woods but it was a reflection.

Der auto correct could be his worst enema, it could change his misspelled words into who knows what making it even harder to read.

We have brother and sister German shepherds. Daughter took the male. We took the female.

The male will bite a stranger. There are only 3 people besides my daughter and son in law who can enter the house while they are gone.

Their old roommate, my wife and I.

Our female was trained a little differently since we have grandkiddos, and the kids.

She will bark and go running to look if someone comes in unannounced. And will bark if someone knocks on the door, or rummaging around outside.

She's put herself between me and someone she didn't like twice. Hackles up and a growl that started in her toenails. That growl made my butt pucker
