Hamburger cooked in a skillet on the stove, white bread, velveeta cheese and ketchup. That's my childhood in a meal!

Velveeta is fancy cheese

Two Velveeta grilled cheese sandwiches and a coke everyday for lunch killed my dad at age 56! Ok, he smoked too!

Got to put a slab of fried bologna with that cheese!

Velveeta is fancy cheese

My dad would slice two thick slices of Velveeta and cut one in half. He’d lay out two slices of Wondeer bread, one with a think layer of Miracle Whip. Then he’d put the full slice of cheese in a corner of that bread and put one of The half slices of cheese above the qhole slice and one of the halves next to it to fill in the bread for an equal ratio of cheese, MW, and bread except for the little corner that had no cheese. Then he’d take a big bite of that corner so he got cheese too and eat the rest of the sandwich in normal bites. He’d have Two of these sandwiches a couple,e of times a week. I must have do the exact same thing a couple thousand times as a kid.

Just found this. Apparently, this is what they originally intended Mount Rushmore to look like.

That's a lot smaller than what we ended up with.

I'm sure that is just a model - similar to the model that was used for the present carving.

Thanks for posting that. I recall someone telling me Mt Rushmore isn't finished. Now I know!

Maybe if we wind up with another WPA they can finish it.

Maybe they'll find the National Treasure inside! Or, at least maybe we'll find out what's on page 47!

For your drooling pleasure.

Breakfast Hash with Chorizo, white sweet potato, carrots, onions, mushrooms, zucchini. We topped ours with over medium eggs.

I'm flabbergasted that the SecNav would call one of his carrier skippers "stupid" and "naive", IMO that's childish grade school name calling.

I think there is lot more the story than we are hearing.

Some of the actions just do not make sense.

The whole tape was online yesterday, though all I can find today are snippets. Found it; link below.

At one point, when acting Sec'y of the Navy Modly was addressing the crew of the USS Roosevelt over the ship's public address system (he'd flown to Guam in a surprise visit to address the crew in person), and suggests their Captain was either stupid or naive to have sent the letter requesting help, you can hear a crew member yell "What the f***?"

Interesting to hear the whole thing--15 mins long--in context, weird as the delivery and content was.

edit: Oops, and now he's "former acting Sec'y of the Navy."

Modly replaced Secretary Richard Spencer just four and a half months ago. Spencer had been Sec'y of the Navy since Aug 2017 and was fired over the handling of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher.
