Talked with my BIL and his wife briefly about Feinstein’s death. They had no idea who she was. My SIL said “I’m neutral”, which shows how uninformed average people are. It’s not a football game, you’re not neutral, you’re just completely unaware of the whole subject. It’s a bit frustrating to me, but ignorance is bliss, it seems.

I have some money, but part of my preparations is that it would be better to acquire useful items while that money still has value.

My dad told me of the Depression when his family ate not much other than green beans and oatmeal. They did not have indoor plumbing. I wish I’d asked him more about those times and about his service in WW2.

I think it was Bongino who used to say that you’re not talking to one person, you’re talking to everyone else who’s listening in. Most civil folks will eavesdrop without letting on, and if you say something interesting they may just go look to find the truth.

DANCE!

Maybe that was it. I know whatever it was had been erased from further inquiry.

Tammy Wynette’s is my favorite version.

Your points are valid.

I remember in the early 1980’s I guess, I’d hear bits and pieces on TV about some rich real estate guy with gold toilets, etc. I didn’t care much because I figured he was just a really wealthy braggart.

Mid-late 1980’s I started to watch interviews with Trump. I recall changing my opinion of him, in that it seemed he wanted all Americans to have a higher level of prosperity, not just himself. I’d seen the beautiful cities in other countries in photos and TV, so I knew there were nice places. And since the USA was the greatest country of all, it seemed odd that we didn’t have safe clean cities, etc. He’d say that our tax money was going everywhere but here. I didn’t consider that in any sort of R/D light, but I was of the thought that it didn’t matter because all politicians were snakes.

I think it’s hard for younger people to see old footage and relate that to Trump in the present, as their opinions were formed somewhere in between early days and 2016. It must seem like just sound bites, but it did truly make me consider him as more than a billionaire playboy at the time.

And Trump spent the previous 35 years talking about his views. We all knew what he stood for.

Maybe political/career/etc., and not literal?

That looks fake.

I think he’s spent a good part of his life resenting his lot. Probably being compared to his brother, having to do who knows what for optics, giving up portions of his “earnings”, just the whole mess. Probably why he’s an addict. Maybe he’s always been trying to remove himself from the show.

As I recall, Scott was planning to wait a while to see if people were having adverse reactions to the shots. But…his wife wanted to go to Greece for vacation, so he had to get jabbed. I think he said something along the lines of -go to Greece or get divorced-. Seems both things happened. He has come a long way in the years that I’ve been watching his live shows, though.

I asked my mom why she was still taking them. “The doctor says I should.” Ma, you’re 87 years old, why would you gaf about your cholesterol number?

Why’s his rent $50k/month? I don’t even understand the document.

There’s absolutely no way my beef lady would let her cows be vaxxed. They get acupuncture and chiropractic, for crying out loud.

So very, very sorry.

Guess I’m waaay behind schedule.

I didn’t know that adults scheduled tetanus shots. I’ve always heard of getting a shot after some sort of puncture wound or cuts, etc.

It’s all a show. Have a 12th anniversary party for a statute, and be sure to record Biden being ignored. It’s to show that Biden has no importance.

The Encyclopedia of Country Living is a huge book with lots of useful information. I gifted copies to my adult kids because If the SHTF, there will be no internet to look up survival advice.

Lol. State employee. Great job, residential care for adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Lotsa money to be made these day with all the overtime you want (or don’t want but still have to work). Just gotta be jabbed whenever they say so.

Best wishes and prayers that all works out well for you!

I had to retire early from my job, as there was no way to determine whether they’d make me forfeit my pension if I were fired for not getting shots. As a 35+ year employee, I’ve never contributed to social security, so pension is my only option at my age.

Just when I figured the new administration would put off my retirement due to the economy, I had to leave early.

They said they agreed with my religious exemption, but couldn’t accommodate it. We had weekly testing and mask wearing for most of the past two years, and nobody has ever explained what accommodations other than shots would be necessary and an undue hardship for the agency.

Office workers in my agency were actually fired when they had verified severe allergic reaction to the first shot and multiple physicians said further shots could be deadly for them. Only one shot=unvaxxed to these awful bastards. This is beyond unacceptable.

At the very least, it’s in violation of seat belt laws.

I’m pretty sure that fb has been generating people in their ads so that they resemble actual people in your friends list. Makes you look an extra second at the ad. Been going on for several years.

Oh, they accept that you have deeply held religious reasons, but then claim that to accommodate you will put undue hardship on the agency.

Happened to me, but this just so happens within a couple months of my reaching the age when I can collect my pension. So I’m retired as of end of next week.
