Pro union/Anti Union ?

[gotrocks]

Well, I just gave in and decided to tell my "TRUE" story. In the 40's I read TRUE magazine each month. There was a story about a guy and his family that took a 6 month round the world trip. Back then that was not something one heard about very often. Well seem this guy was a steel worker and he got 3 month vacation each year so he arrainged it so he took them back to back.

That story stayed in my memory until the 80's when my oldest son got engaged to a wonderful girl. We went to a party for the couple in Alabama and while there I met two of her uncles, both were retired from steel company.

I told them about the "TRUE" story and ask if it was in fact TRUE.

They looked at each other and verified that yes steel workers did infact get 13 weeks vacation.
Sorry but I can't feel sorry for that group when their job goes belly-up.
That means we have all been paying for 13 weeks vacation every time we purchased something containg steel.

I've got another personal experience with Trailways Bus Lines unionized employees but I'll stop here. They have already missed their Bus.

It seems you don't hear of the other varieties as much as the Vidalia, but having traveled the country from one end to the other, I've concluded that the Vidalia, Walla Walla, and Texas 1015Y are the best onions you can get. I'll take any of those 3 and don't care which.

OK now seriously, why are you guys (not just Bird) all so enamored with "sweet" onions? Some of us like the firey bite of a good hot onion. Oh sure, the sweets have their place, but not on a hamburger. Give me a nice red onion on a burger, something with moderate heat. Or how about some good crisp yellow onions in chili? I don't want no whimpy sweet onions!!!

Stanley Yelnats was saved from the poisonous lizards by the lowly onion, so they do contain a power. I think I would rather have the poisonous lizards get me than have to eat one of those durn things.

I prefer the onion to be in full bloom. More commonly known as a Bloomin' Onion.

While I don't by any means claim to be a conasewer, even though my wife often feels differently, the union of the onion and my taste buds is to be looked forward to...be it sweet, moderate or robust... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Amazingly it seems I have turned pro union, as otherwise life would be bland and the taste buds would go on strike, and without taste what good would beer be anyway?

Yes, a truly meaningful thread... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Where'd that hot sauce go??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Bob, in my younger days, I liked hot things like jalapenos and hot onions in some things, but not anymore. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I still like lots of onion, but much prefer the sweet, mild ones. I only grew the red ones one year. They look good in salads and such, and the taste was just fine, but they sure didn't keep as well, or as long, as the 1015Y. I don't know whether others have the same luck or not.

I wonder if the tax dollars spent promoting onions could be termed onion dues ?

I don't know what social security the US has but maybe he is hiding out with lots of aliases collecting social sercurity. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
