"What's up, boy?" I may say if I call him. He likes it. He was a Boy Scout until 18 years of age. He's an Eagle Scout and was an active participant in the Order of the Arrow. Boy-O-boy! <br />So, this bothers me...my husband always prefaces a story from his youth with, "when I was a boy..." What's the deal? He's not a boy now?

Start on one end (I use the left end) and roll the cob forward from the top with each bite. You spiral your way through the corn. When you reach the other end, you are done.<br /><br />However, I do not spiral my spaghetti. I cut it up and eat is with a fork.<br /><br />As far as the "Boy" discussion, I was in the Boy Scouts as a youth. There were many boys of all ethnic backgrounds in Scouts. We were all boys in a Boy Scout Troop. There are also Boys and Girls Clubs across the country. There is one near me in Elgin. I agree, the word "boy" can be used in a negative context. That is the whole point, the context, not the word. There is too much Political Correct fever in certain circles in this country. I hope that thinking dissipates.<br /><br />I have a problem with changing the term "airline stewardess" to "airline flight attendant."<br /><br />My two cents.<br /><br />AbejoAbejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318111258011554517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-31149067296694670822011-06-06T21:18:06.989-05:002011-06-06T21:18:06.989-05:00I'm baaack!

(Not that I was counting. :o) It happens and it is up to C.C. to comment if she thinks it is excessive. <br /><br />Buckeye's credo seems to be "Leave Them Wanting More", or perhaps it is "Leave Them Wanting Less". Since he doesn't post "constantly" as was suggested by NBY, it works either way.<br /><br />Why do I like Buckeye? Because he likes Groucho Marx, and oh yes, and he recently posted a photo of himself in gray underwear on Twitter.
