Why The Five is a hit.

Rats–smoker sounds great. You are definitely a serious “smoker”.
Sunshine–my sentiments exactly about the Early Start/starting Point group. Solidad O’Brien is the most abrasive to me. Before the election, I would tune in to CNN occasionally. Haven’t tuned in once since the election and don’t plan to.
The Middle East is heating up more and more each day. It doesn’t look like negotiations are going to happen.
Good Morning Everyone
@Rats & LetMeThink
Hey Coffee Dude! could ya leave a couple of them baskets at the bottom of the fiscal cliff so we at least have a snack!!
Each basket contains (1) case Green Beans, (1) case of corn, (1) 12-16lbs Turkey, (1) 8-12 lbs Ham (1) Stalk of celery, (1) 3 lbs onions, (2) Pints. Chicken bouillon (1) 10 lbs. Idaho Potatoes (1) pack of saltine crackers, 2 packs bread crumbs and (1) loaf of wheat bread.
We delivered baskets to 30 homes yesterday and hope to get 40 today and the rest Wednesday. Maybe tiring, but as soon as you see the joy and smiles from the people who are getting them, it makes every effort worth it.
And some mean old rich guy at our Church donated 100 $50.00 Wal-mart gift cards to each family as well. Mean old heartless 1% that he is
Well I’m out for the biggest part of the day, as I leave you here is the song I listen too each morning as I wake up, and someday I’ll tell you a little secret about this song
, enjoy and have a great day everyone, and play nice
Peace & Grace to all

Good Morning!
But I have a lot of fun doing it. The “hobby” just grew and grew. A wood box for the grill, then a smoker, then a second smoker, then a freezer, and recently another side by side fridge/freezer, of course the stainles top work table, the meat grinder/sausage stuffer

Yep I am in it pretty deep!
but here is the best and most fun about it. I smoke all the stuff and then give it away and watch people enjoy it! I cant eat everything i smoke but I can give it away! Now that is FUN!!!
Hi R. Boy,
Happy Turkey Day to you d.d, Coffee, Gabrielle, Faith3, James, Boss,Matthew, Jeff, Let me Think, and others. I’m with you, I am delivering my 22 lb. turkey today and the less fortunate or ‘the poor’, something that the pres. has yet to utter, will enjoy it. The closest O. ever came was, “I have a mandate to help the middle class and people who are trying to get into the middle class.” So, he can’t say, ‘poor?’ You are going hog wild with your hobby, so enjoy. I bet the people who receive your smoked food, just love it. Oh, I’m trying not to pay too much attention to the Middle East, just b/cause it makes me sick to see civilians getting killed and maimed. Iran is lurking right around the corner and if and when they get involved….Dec. 21st is looking more realistic. My sister always says, ‘lights out’ on Dec. 21st. What can you do? BBL
Rachel Maddow is a hard man to beat!
Nothing Ever Changes:: Israel minding its own business, living in domocracy and flourishing in capitalism gets attacked by thousands of missles….it then defends itself and is labled a terrorists state by Turkey, Egypt and the whole Mid East..Isreael needs to use this as an opportunity to finally purge Hama of its ability to do them harm..
Great to read your comments 1nancy2, have a great holiday!

I suppose you haven’t seen Greta lately…
Have a great day Mr. Coffee!
Heading back to LA this morning to show a Jr. Penthouse in the Wilshire Corridor, that a client is interested in…. It’s a bargain so I hope he brings his check book!!
MSNBC will continue to gain as Fox news viewers are dying off, literally.
awwww The Five couldn’t tell the whole truth if they wanted to. They failed to mention the pay raises that the CEOs got just years prior. One got a 300% pay increase from 700k to 2.5m. That’s not including the other 8 CEOs that got a pay increase or the fact that this company has such poor management that they have gone bankrupt THREE other times. But hey, The Five can lie and tell half truths because they are only entertainment not news.
@hillbilly
i’m guessing 1 show for fox and 0 for msnbc.
Well, the prez is sending Hillary off to the Mid east. Can’t see her doing much good unless there is a rather good wine list.

Yea but WHAT A LOOKER!!!!! Did you see her with the poney tail?? Just like a cheerleader………………………..from the state prison hockey team! You know, the one that sits on top of the net and trys to catch the pucks in her teeth!!
RedBarSoup,
MSNBC keeps talking about these pay increases that occured years ago, (it was three years ago. All of those people are gone.) You can’t keep saying that well three years ago there was mismanagement. That problem was addressed and they company still didn’t make a profit last year. Management took a pay cut also. These people are making $31,500 – $40,000 a year to work on a line. (People with college degrees aren’t making that.) You can buy a three bedroom, two bath, 1670 sq feet house for $55,000 in the area where these factories are located. So, they are making a very good living.
The economy is bad. Skilled laborers, college grads, and Management personal are taking pay cuts of 10% – 20% and have taken pay cuts in the past four years because of the economy. They aren’t being promised to get any of it back either. But the union workers want step up and take they cuts.
