Tfw you get the kiddo up early for their first day of 3rd grade Chorus practice at school and it starts at 7:30 instead of 7 so now we're both fully dressed just sitting quietly in the living room waiting to leave without waking anyone up...

drinking Miller Lite out of my "USA Stars and Stripes Beer Stein - Made for the WW Team" but shaking my head the whole time so people know I disagree with it

USA Stars and Stripes Beer Stein - Made for the WW Team and Signed by the artist. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority MailI purchased this stein in Germany in 2001 after September 11th. It has been kept in storage ever since. This is a USA Stars and Stripes ceramic beer stein with a pewter lid and eagle figurine on top, made in Germany by the WW-Team. This hand painted piece features an American flag in the background with a raised USA hemisphere emblem with gold-leaf letters and stars against a royal blue background. "GOD BLESS AMERICA" is written on a banner above the emblem.There are two cobalt blue shields with a raised eagle on each side of the stein. The shield on the left has the "Pledge to Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America". The shield on the right has "The Star Spangled Banner". There are green oak leaf borders at the top and bottom. Above the bottom border are the words: "UNITED WE STAND * WE THE PEOPLE * UNITED WE STAND"The handle is a blue Statue of Liberty. The cast pewter eagle on top says"E Pluribus Unum". The thumb grip also features a round blue piece with gold stars. These steins were individually numbered. This one is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This is number 782. It's in very good condition. See pictures. This beer stein stands 10-1/2" tall.

Had another old white guy see me in the hammock and stop to ask about the Pan flag. I said "it's like being Bi but I also don't care if you're Trans or whatever. If you wanna love me I'm game." He smiled, thanked me and kept walking First time that's happened. Crying a bit
