Rollin Knifley: Some people are not living up to their raising

Rollin Knifley writes:
Your point of "its nobody's business but their own" became moot the second the Oil Men of Adair County agreed to get on national television and invite the rest of us into their business. Along with fame and fortune will come ridicule and criticism. They should be equally prepared for both.

I have no issues with they way the cast dress, in what level of comfort they choose to live their lives, how they spend their money, or how much money they have. I personally don\'t take issue with their use of profanity. After 29 years in the military, I have become used to hearing it, and quite proficient in its use. What I do take issue with, is the re-enforcement of the negative stereo-types of folks from Kentucky. If you were able to find entertainment value in the show, then we just have a difference in opinion.

Just like you feel like some people are getting above their raising, and I see it as some people are not living up to their raising. --Rollin Knifley

Joyce Coomer: Some people are getting above their raising

Joyce Coomer writes
Well, as I expected, some people are getting above their raising . . . the Backyard Oil show was entertaining, showed the oil men of Adair County in a much better light than I expected, had humor, and illustrated that even though someone is wealthier than their neighbors they don't necessarily get involved with "keeping up with the Joneses" and "putting on airs" to impress anyone.

These oil men know what their bank account is and if they choose to not change their mode of dress nor verbal habits, it is no one's business but their own. - Joyce M. Coomer

Rollin Knifley: Backyard Oil does not come close to Duck Dynasty

Suggests next crew invited to Columbia wil be from A & E's Intervention

By Rollin Knifley

Pride? Really?

This show is not great, nor does it come close to Duck Dynasty. What this show is, is an indictment of the television industries lack of creativity and imaganination.

Marsha Qualls: Backyard Oil compares favorably Duck Dynasty

It was a great program . . . Pride should be what citizens of Columbia/Adair County shoul feel, because of the accomplishments of some of our residents - MARSHA QUALLS

By Marsha Qualls

The program was a great program.

It reminded me of Duck Dynasty in a way. It was funny.

We could have done without the bleeps, but was able to overlook that part.

Duck Dynasty is a family program, and Backyard Oil was a good program.

Tony & Lorene Martens, Columbia ask for prayers for injured son

We do not know what the lasting effects will be, but God moves in mysterious ways. We would appreciate everyone praying for him. - TONY & LORENE MARTENS

Tony and Lorene Martens writes:
Our son, William (Bill) Martens had a terrible accident Sunday. He works at a bowling alley in Florida. He was working on one of the machines and it closed on him, crushing his upper body, trapping him in the machine. It collapsed both of his lungs. He was without oxygen for about 15 minutes depriving his brain of oxygen. He is in the hospital in critical condition. He heart is beating and he can breathe a little on his own. They are keeping him in a medically induced coma. We do not know what the lasting effects will be, but God moves in mysterious ways. We would appreciate everyone praying for him. Thank you. - Tony and Lorene Martens

Adair Co. has produced more oil millionaires than most suspect

By Joyce Coomer

Apparently, from some comments, some viewers have watched too much Dallas and expect all oil men to look like J.R. Ewing.

Drillers may be rough around the edges and sometimes unkempt, but overall are are a fun-loving, hard-working group of people who find the oil business dirty and hard work but get their thrills from the gushers they frequently hit.

Adair County has produced more millionaires in the oil business that most people suspect. - Joyce M Coomer

Link: QI some quite interesting facts about rabbits

There's a story on Telegraph.co.uk with facts about rabbits only the brains at the BBC could come up with, including the astounding answer to the theoretical offspring, in three years time, of one pair of rabbits. QI: some quite interesting facts about rabbits/ A quietly intriguing column from the brains behind QI, the BBC quiz show. This week: QI holes up with rabbits.. It has more than enough nuggets of information to sate a nine-year old mind, or the minds of people of all ages with forever nine year old outlooks.

Backyard Oil - Mixed feelings, but will watch every week

Reader Critique: Wonders if national viewers will take the show all in the good fun it is, or if they will take it seriously and make fun of and belittle Adair Countians for the good country folks that we are

By Marianne Brown

I watched two 30 minute shows last night on Discovery Channel and I am left with mixed feelings. I am thrilled that the people struck oil on their land but some of the stuff showing people as silly and maybe uncouth bothers me and maybe it should not.

Food/Healthy Lifestyle: A little bit on Itarians

Focus on Flexitarian

According to a Wikipedia entry, Semi-Vegetarianism, flexitarian has been voted by the American Dialect Society as the year's most useful word in 2003, and by 2012, the article says, "The term was listed for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

The article defines flexitarian as a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat.

The Wikipedia article on semi-Vegetarianism includes paragraphs on Pollotarians (occasionally poultry), Pesce-pollotarians (occasionally fish/poultry - like the currently popular Mediterranean diet).

Mary Keltner sends a link to a story in the New York Times, FlexitarianHealthy, Meet Delicious by Mark Bittman, about taking the middle ground - being flexitarian - and eating a mixed diet higher in vegetable content with a modest and occasional intake of meat, versus the purist vegetarian or the other extreme, a diet high in animal protein, fast food - and factory food.

Flexitarians? Have a lot of them in my family, though I never heard any of them describe themselves as such, get denominationally argumentive. Maybe there are others here. And maybe, probably, it's better not to label ourselves or others as any kind of Itarian, lest we fall prey to the next Inquisition, which humankind seems so prone to manifest at times when those ODing on righteousness - as they interpret 'divine' messages - are wont to do. -EW
