It's a fun time and I'm just glad the rules broken didn't hurt anyone. I think they make up the rules just to cover themselves in case of an incident. Congrats to the graduate!

Immediately, I had this visual of you and the bullhorn.<br /><br />Boring, I know, but I've pretty much toed the line all my life. I've little tolerance for those who push the envelope "just because" ... and even less for those who are tasked with enforcing but elect not to do so for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Thinkin' the tail's wagging that dog.<br /><br />Ah well, I'm feeling some moxie coming back, and look forward to reading more!<br /><br />Have a wonderful new week!

My grandson didn't know this girl thank goodness. We went to a graduation dinner tonight for my great nephew and neice (twins). Probably only the second time in their life I have seen them.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-71431833214247551812013-06-09T21:20:13.840-04:002013-06-09T21:20:13.840-04:00Rules are made to be broken.Rules are made to be broken.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-59750857146396509612013-06-09T20:33:11.853-04:002013-06-09T20:33:11.853-04:00...and that is a '57 Lincoln Continental Mark ......and that is a '57 Lincoln Continental Mark II behind the Lincoln Premier.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-26208713750599467182013-06-09T20:31:08.981-04:002013-06-09T20:31:08.981-04:00hee hee...
Not quite a Packard, Jack, but there is...hee hee...<br />Not quite a Packard, Jack, but there is a Packard connection. It is a 1957 Lincoln Premier. It took many of its styling cues from the Lincoln Futura show car, the car which later became the first Batmobile. Here's the Packard connection. When the banks and insurance companies wouldn't float Packard the money to tool for their planned '57s, Packard president James Nance worked out a deal with Henry Ford II to build '57 Packards on the Lincoln body shell. Packard stylist Richard Teague worked up a very handsome design taking cues from the Packard Predictor show car (and the planned '57 Packards). But Ford executives below Henry sabotaged the deal and Packard wound up building the "Packardbaker" on the Studebaker President body shell.

They will do what they want to do.<br /><br />When people have done this for<br />years they are not going to listen<br />to rules. Graduation is a big<br />thing and they are happy the<br />person has made it through.<br /><br />Common sense is not in their<br />vocabulary. shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-76355899868960130192013-06-09T14:24:33.856-04:002013-06-09T14:24:33.856-04:00Oh...you have a way of "getting me started&qu...Oh...you have a way of "getting me started"...on my rants. <br />YES! <br />I'm with you on this one!!<br />Rules ARE rules and should be enforced. It's the LACK of enforcement that causes the problems. If it says "no umbrellas"...then, John Brown...there should be no (zero, nada, not ONE) umbrella allowed in. Period. People knew the rules coming it. If not...they should have. Don't fuss and whine about the fact that you can't take your bloomin' umbrella in when it says "no umbrellas." The rule is there for a reason....accept it. Leave the umbrellas at home or in the car!!<br />Number two...no clapping, cheering, yelling, etc. when the graduate crosses the stage, means just that. None. It used to be that way, Jack. Now...classless...rule-breaking, thoughtless people are "ruling."<br />I still abide by the rules. No umbrellas: I bring a poncho.<br />No clapping, yelling, etc.... I don't. Period.<br />Why don't others abide by the rules? They haven't been taught to. I think that's the simple explanation. If one is taught...and taught well, one abides by the rules. <br />(I told you...you got me started.)<br />I apologize for the rants.<br />I feel better....but still shake my head and wonder where the parenting skills have gone....<br />Hugs,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.com
