Who knew making bacon of all things smelled so ****ing bad? Bacon is practically sacred - the taste, the smell, all of it - but goddamn if bacon factories don't smell AWFUL.

Don't forget pink slime!

I remember that story.

A group of us used to go to Roger's AR in March for a few days golf outing. One day in particular when we were down there the Japan tsunami happened.

One of the people that was there was one of our councilmen. At that time the red light and speed cameras were a hot topic.

We were in the hotel room playing cribbage and having cocktails watching the footage. One of the scenes was the boats from the harbor floating through the streets, and going under flashing red street lights.

One of the guys says "Hey J, look at how much money they're making over there! Ding! A hundred bucks! Ding a hundred bucks!"

Everybody was rolling and J just said giggling, "**** you"

They make them a civil offense, like a parking ticket. If you don't pay, they can send you to collection and not renew your registrations or Driver's license. Des Moines and CR have them on freeways...

I think this is what your were thinking of:

Taco house tacos from Milford, IA which is home sweet home Okoboji.

The residents buy these in bulk for the winter.
We're taking in the 100s.

Northern Iowanians are a different breed.
Sorry it's FB. I can't find it anywhere else. 🤣

If I started a Broasted Chicken food truck in CO I would flounce away with bank.

Then we can all drink from the same fishbowl.

Katipan 03-15-2022 07:26 AM

And then take the mini van on the figure 8 track.

I'm a brown city girl that lured two of their sons away from the farm. My mother in law works for the Sheriff and the neighbor dude gave birth to Trump... Im pretty sure at least. I have all the problems when I go home. 😏

Pot from Omaha or Sioux Falls wasn't too bad. When we lived in Waterloo tho... we drank more.

Yeah, I'm dead center so going anywhere "out of state" is at least a 2-hour drive. It sucks ass.

I spent a good few very therapeutic and formulative years there after my husband died.

Small town people lovingly smother you. I had CP, COD and a new partner in crime.

Alright!
Cedar Falls lifer here and I work for the City of Loo, in fact about ready to retire after 34 years. Lets keep that on the downlow as the mayor isn't aware yet.

Last we were there, my dude was making stuff for John Deere and I won a lighting contest downtown for the firm I worked for. Grieving or not, a bitch is competitive.
☺️ Nothing but fond memories for that piece of earth.

My good friend, Don Ross, was an All American High School basket ball player fro Waterloo. But that was back in the 60's. I wrestled with the Tucker bros from Waterloo back in the early 80's. I've always had good thoughts about Waterloo.

Yes, but I don’t start until after Easter and until August I’ll be working 3 weeks in Iowa and 1 week from home in Wichita each month. Got to give my wife time to work her clients to other therapists.

You’ll have to check out the wrestling scene here!

You're on, but I have to warn you that when I naked wrestle my murder boner makes it awfully hard to turn me on my back. It's a natural kickstand.

They kill kittens in Iowa
 
My maternal grandparents had a farm in the southeast of the state. I was too young to remember, but the stories have stayed with me, from the goose who chased me through the yard to what happened when the cats had kittens. Into the bucket of water they would go. Can't have the cats taking over the farm.

displacedinMN 03-15-2022 05:42 PM

Fareway brats!!!!

Simplicity 03-15-2022 07:49 PM

Well... I moved from living in Iowa my whole life to Bronco country so.. Idk what that tells you.

All honesty, Iowa is a great state and Pella is a pretty solid place to move a family too. People are nice and you'll make some new friends in no time as long as you don't mind Busch Light. Its gotta beat living in Wichita tbf.
