    My Dad was Treasurer for his local Elks, he ended up quitting because in his words "the old folks have nothing to do but complain", My Dad doesn't put up with any shit. An Irishman to the core, son of immigrants, miss you Dad.
  • “It’s summer, not everyone’s being productive” mind flashes to Monday Motivation with Baby Cat videos 😂
  • Dressage……..How come they don’t do it out in the wild? I busted out laughing when you said this Mama T! So true!! 🐴 😂🤣😂🤣
  • with the size of cruise ships these days you can understand how upsetting it is for locals when a city drops anchor and 5000 people get off.
  • Paddles is correct when referring to the animal: elk is both singular and plural, just like moose and fish. However, a proper noun such as Elks Lodge/Club is spelled as tbey choose. In Fernie, BC there is an Elks Lodge (spelled w the s) though the Elk River flows through the Elk Valley where Fernie is located and there are many, many elk.

    I bartended at the Elks Lodge in Oceano, CA. They told me they raised money for good causes, so I said, with these cheap drinks, they should have a shirt that says, “we crawl so the kids can walk”. I was also bartending at the country club in SLO at the same time. Both members only, but otherwise completely opposite in every way 😆 what a hoot

    Saw Joanne Carner at tour events. HIlarious on the course. Great golfer. Funny lady.

    Read the comments paddle. Tell Kathleen that elks and moose are similar to knights of Columbus (catholic org).
  • My Dad was in the Elks when he began to work full time in the Insurance Business in the City. So proud when he drove me around the Financial District on a Saturday, to show me the tall building where he worked during the weekdays.

    Hi Kathleen and Paddles. I lived in Britain in the 80’s and my favourite drink at the Pub was Lager and Lime. Have you ever tried it? It wasn’t a piece of lime in the lager. They added some kind of lime syrup to your pint and it was delicious!

    I think the next episode should involve some research on HOA's. I saw a report on them and people really do lose their homes over some crazy small things. HOA's have so much power and have created some real nightmares, such as older people losing their home over extremely small payments they missed. Seriously, it's insane and so wrong when it's extremely minor infractions. There are companies that run some HOA and they're unmovable.

    Regarding the paying for the bathrooms, when I would go to Poland flying into Czech, my coworker warned me that you pay for public toilets. I didn't know anything about the currency so I held out a bunch of kronas (Crowns) to an old woman in a babushka. She was as confused as I was since I was probably offering her a hundred dollars American. She gave me lots of toilet paper though!
