    Bon reacted to Polo in Check your Facebook account   
    I've been thinking about quitting FB myself.  But I have become so reliant on it for friend and family news and staying in touch with folks.  I have to admit I have gotten closer to relatives and old friends this way.  And my church has their own page and group, so I can stay abreast of what's going on there, too. It accomplishes a lot of good in my life, so I'm tempted to keep it for that reason.  Also, lost animals can be found by posting on there.   I don't like the invasive things that come across my feed, though.  The suggestive-looking, almost xrated trash that once in awhile appears.  I can get rid of some items but not all of them.  Makes me mad.

    Anyone watching what the school board wants to spend 2.2 million on now. They spent millions on this outside of the stadium. They need to use the space they have and keep the money. Can you say take my paycheck please?

    Bon reacted to Constitutionalist in Woman sues Hershey’s Co. over Reese’s pumpkins without faces   
    I do find this to be completely ridiculous lawsuit. However… there is a point that this is false advertising. But where does the line get drawn? Companies get away with this all the time. I myself have recently made a purchase.. I won’t get into the specifics of what I bought. But the advertisement on the package was indeed misleading and not accurate to what was inside. So where is the line with letting companies get away with misleading their consumers?

    I'm guessing she has experienced a ton of disappointment in her life. 
     
    Side note:  Bet she wears makeup, padded/pushup bras and spanx.  Maybe some dude will sue her for false advertising in the future.

    The Game Commission has to have its wings clipped and soon (reminds me of the brown shirts). Warrantless searches with no probable cause (unless there is something we don't know).  Just because someone buys up land, posts it and hunts on it doesn't make it a crime.  Kinda makes me think about someone else that buys up land and restricts its usage...oh that's right its the game commission

    HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
    1.   Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

    2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly, it's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

    3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

    4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

    5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

    6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

    7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

    8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert, Labor Day?

    9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

    10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

    Remember this motto to live by:
    "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming " WOO HOO   what a ride!"   MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

    Bon got a reaction from Polo in Pennsylvania court rules against gun clubs in private property case   
    CHRIS BENNETT For Farm Journal       How much power does the government claim on private land? “Unfettered,” according to a Commonwealth Court decision in a case pitting the Pennsylvania Game Commission against two private gun clubs.
    On Sept. 29, a court ruled against two hunting clubs in their lawsuit accusing the Game Commission of private property rights violations. The Institute for Justice represents both clubs and will appeal.
    In its ruling, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania noted the government’s absolute power to “roam private land without consent, warrants or probable cause.”
    “Private land isn’t public property,” says institute attorney Josh Windham. “That might seem obvious. But all too many officials, at every level of government, disagree. They think they have a blank check to invade private property. We’ll see what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has to say about that.”
    On Dec. 16, 2021, Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney hunting clubs sued the Game Commission after game wardens consistently entered club lands without permission or warrant, and secretly monitored club members, including photo collection via installation of a hidden game camera. The wardens’ behavior, the lawsuit asserted, was a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state constitution, which explicitly protects “persons, houses, papers, and possessions.”
    Most Americans assume law enforcement must obtain a warrant to enter or surveil private land, but for roughly a century, the Open Fields doctrine has allowed government officials, at state and federal levels, unqualified access to private land.
    In its judgment Sept. 29, the Commonwealth Court detailed the alarming powers and “unfettered discretion” assumed by government via Open Fields:
    “The facts of this case are not in dispute. The Hunting Clubs are member-owned hunting clubs that own thousands of acres of private land in Clearfield County. Members use the properties to hunt, vacation, and enjoy nature. To ensure their members’ privacy, the Hunting Clubs have posted their properties with no trespassing signs and have installed gates at all entrances to exclude nonmembers and intruders. However, the Entry Statutes empower game wardens with unfettered discretion to enter upon and roam private land without consent, warrants, or probable cause.”
    In ruling against the two hunting clubs, the Commonwealth Court was bound by precedent set in Pennsylvania v. Russo (2007), when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said “possessions” do not include private land.
    The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney lawsuit now moves to appeal. The hunting clubs, represented by Institute for Justice, will seek to overturn the Russo decision, and ask the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to address a pressing question: Does the state constitution protect citizens from warrantless searches on private land?
    “Russo was wrongly decided and we’re eager to show the Pennsylvania Supreme Court why,” Windham says. “The Open Fields doctrine destroys the point of having private land. It treats fences, gates, posted signs and everything else you might do to keep your land private, as irrelevant.
    “And, in turn, it gives the government unfettered power to enter your land, roam around, spy on you, take photos, record videos, take soil samples, ride around in bikes, trucks even horses, all without a warrant. We’re supposed to think that’s constitutional?”
    Presently, six states place state constitutional authority above the Open Fields doctrine: Mississippi, Montana, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
    The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court should take place in 2024, with a decision likely in 2025. Institute for Justice is currently litigating similar Open Fields cases in Virginia and Tennessee about warrantless intrusions on private land.
    In an Oct. 2 Institute release, Frank Stockdale, president of the Punxsutawney Hunting Club, summarized the private land ownership case: “The government has no right to spy on us on our own land without cause. This entire endeavor has been outrageous and needs to end now.”
