People sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong

[slim1836]

Many times, old timers, make suggestions to try and help new guys.
It's just a way of helping.
That's how most of the old timers here are.
We offer help, to help.
Vast caldron of knowledge here.
On many, many subjects.
I know I've taken advantage of it many times.

As have I, just gotta read twice as much (or more) as reply.

Thread about run its course...maybe perk it up a bit with an off, but similar, topic.

Was in Lakeway, TX (a burb of Austin) and stronghold of liberalism, eating breakfast during the "plan-demic". The restaurant "policy" at the time, at the tail end of Covid, was masks to and from the table to the door.

On the way out, my wife went to the restroom, and then lingered a moment at the Cashier's Counter, giving me pause by the door to wait for her, with my mask off. A little nobody waiting in a crowd to be seated took it upon himself to rudely ask "Where is your mask?"

"Same place as your bad manners, bless your heart, " I said without skipping a beat, "...and mind your own **** business."

I used to live in TX years ago and know what "Bless your heart" means in this context.

Swappin' & Sellin'. That place has cost me a young fortune over the years, I've sold a fair amount there as well.
I'm with a lot of other folks. If the price of something bothers you? Move on and let it be.

Sister lives in Tennessee.
Before I found out what they meant, I just thought they were being nice.
I just luv those Southern sayings.
Sister is not a GRITS.
