Y'all don't get it.  You are not supposed to be driving.  You are supposed to be on the bus and the train.  No worries about chargers and batteries.

After a couple years my phone’s battery only lasts half a day, in three years my hearing aid batteries were not charging half the time, my laptop battery crashed after four years.  Yeah I want a car powered by a rechargeable battery.    ::)

It’s a scary thing for sure to have that “I’m going down” feeling. Getting up from being seated or lying down is a big time for that instability. I feel it sometimes just from fear. My falls have not been from instability but rather stupidity.

I’d never heard of the shoulder reversal until recently, and what an amazing thing it is. My neighbor had it and is now recovered. She had a machine that cools the surgery site uniformly and without having to run back and forth with ice.

I’m glad you can be supportive of your wife, Eppy. My good report yesterday certainly was helped to come about by my husband’s willingness to do things so I could heal and not struggle.

If it's Covid, Paxlovid.... ::) ::)

In other words, the drug is worthless. Also, they seem to be ignoring in this study the fact that the multiply vaccinated are getting Covid. So the vaccine would be worthless too.

It was 91% where I am, and I wanted to see it, but I had a doctor appointment at 12:45, just after it began, and it was cloudy and raining anyway, so I resigned myself to missing it.

The doctor was done with me around the maximum at 1:45 and a few minutes later I walked outside. My car was only about 20 steps away, just a few seconds of walking from building to car.  It had stopped raining but the sky was still full of clouds and I looked up: Just then a large grey cloud moved to reveal what looked like a crescent new moon.  I stared right at it and as the mist further cleared I realized it wasn’t the moon but the crescent of sun behind the dark disc of the moon, also discernible, still through enough mist that it wasn’t bright enough to hurt my eyes but very clear and plain, and all surrounded by heavy grey clouds.  I looked at it about two seconds before another cloud covered it back up and it was gone. A few more steps to my car, we drove off and it started raining again.

It was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.  No safety glasses, no pinholes in boxes, just perfect timing and no eye damage.  I will never forget it.  You can’t convince me that wasn’t a gift from God.  It’s like He pulled the curtain back just for me, and just for two seconds so as not to let me damage my eyes, just as I happened to look up in the short distance between the building and the car. 

Furthermore as we left the building (my husband was with me) we were delayed several seconds by an old lady with a walker who was in front of us and excruciatingly slow.  But we were patient and did not try to push past her.  If we had, the timing would have been off and I would have missed it.  My husband missed it anyway, he was busy unlocking the car and by the time I yelled at him about it, it was gone.

Maybe that was a lesson from God not to be impatient with slow old people.

Did he suggest YOU should be his VP?  He did me!  Then I read the email and he's like, "Just kidding, really, who do you want me to pick?"   What a tease!
Yes he did! He has good taste … either you or I would be great for VP.

Spin Zone / Re: Tulsi - I’m sold!

I liked Tulsi when liking Tulsi wasn't cool.

I think you are mostly right in that the D party changed.  But I think Tulsi changed too.  I believe that as she saw the growing hypocrisy of the democratic party she re-evaluated some of her beliefs and discovered that she had been misled by what seemed like good intentions.  I think her re-evaluation awakened some of her sensibilities.

Just like a reformed smoker is among the most vehement of anti-smoking people, I think a reformed Democrat (or communist) can be the most solid conservative.  They have seen the enemy, and it is them (with apologies to Pogo).

A confession.....

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."

 The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano?"

 "Yes, Father, it is."

 "And who was the girl you were with?"

"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"

"I cannot say."

"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"

"I'll never tell."

"Was it Rosa DiAngelo?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Cathy Piriano?"

"My lips are sealed."

"Was it Nina Capelli then?"

"Please, Father! I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."

 

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"

"Four months vacation and five good leads...

Spin Zone / DeSantis is out of GOP

TALLAHASSEE, FL — The political landscape was rocked to its core today, with reverberations sure to be felt for several years, as Governor Ron DeSantis was kicked out of the Republican Party for accomplishing too many things.

The move was announced after careful deliberation by the Republican National Committee in coordination with top GOP leaders at all levels of government, with decision-makers citing DeSantis's ongoing tendency to get things done as evidence he does not belong with the party.

"Lawyer" and "Am I being detained?"  You're under no obligation to answer their questions.

And if they don’t show ID, call 911 and tell them you are being harassed by strangers impersonating FBI agents.

They did say they showed I.D. when the first got there.  She said she didn't really look at them.

That part wasn’t filmed.  She was inside the door, they flashed the IDs, she said “Hold on…” and went to get her phone.  That’s when she came back, intending to look at the IDs then and presumably get them on video.  Maybe she didn’t have her reading glasses on either.  So the FBI is claiming they can quick flash their IDs and if you have no chance to actually read what’s on them, that’s your problem.

I kind of see why the agents (if they were agents) wouldn’t want their names all over the internet. But sorry not sorry, that should come with harassing citizens over their free speech.  If it were actually a credible threat she made, get a warrant and arrest her. This business of “we just want to talk about what you posted” is intimidation to scare people into self-censoring.

And did you catch how they tried to get her to rat on her neighbors?

Not really a joke, but wasn't sure where else to put it:
