But this time I believe it is true.
Yes, this time it’s different, very.

I think. It sounds like things have you as depressed as I am about the current situation.
Yes, good to hear from you Stan.
For me, I try not to be depressed, but I am… okay I’ll come out and say it: Frightened.

Me too. I also have a violent allergy to most jewelry, because they alloy it with nickel. A nose ring would give me a horrible itchy oozing rash. Gross!!

« on: May 01, 2024, 05:08:02 AM »I think we are seeing some of this here:https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/05/01/how-climate-policies-are-giving-boost-far-right/
Rich liberals are going to vote for lefties. But poor liberals that are suffering the results of those policies that hurt the poor are often switching to the right.
Hopefully it makes up for all the new support for the Democrats due to the Republicans hard line on abortion.
And then some I hope.

« on: May 01, 2024, 05:06:01 AM »I interrupt this thread for some meaningless wokeness. We went to my grandson's soccer game last night, state playoffs quarter final, and noticed a banner at the entrance to the school that appeared to announce the school play. My wife could make out the first two words but not th third word. She told me it said 12 Angry "something". Well, of course it seems Men would ne appropriate as we are, likely, all familiar with that tile. My youngest son, father of this grandson actually had the lead in that play at a local theater group. Too many letter though. when the light turned and we drove past, it became clear to me that last word was "Jurists", 12 Angry Jurists, brought to you by 21st century wokism.
That kind of thing sends me into a rage.

He’s also only 5’8” and we haven’t had a president that short since Ulysses S. Grant. Which doesn’t mean he can’t serve as VP but if you want a strong candidate for the term after Trump 2.0 it needs to be someone electable. It’s actually true that the taller candidate usually wins at least according to one scientific study I found.
But his politics? I love him, he’d be my second choice to Donald Trump.
On the other hand all women are too short. That was probably the main reason Hillary lost.

Being poor tends to make you less fashion obsessed.

« on: April 30, 2024, 12:33:10 PM »I think this is true , but it's also about being hip and cool to their peers, like we had long hair and ripped jeans.
Right. We had long hair (the men) and bell bottoms, the women went bra-less and got our ears pierced - ONE hole only per ear. Then maybe we wore big hoop earrings. We did all that to fit in and be cool.
Today, they're literally destroying their bodies permanently. I don't understand it.

« on: April 30, 2024, 08:01:35 AM »I had a German Shorthaired Pointer which is a very similar breed. He was a hunting dog and family pet. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. But all dogs are different like people.
A lot of the critics said she didn't train him right. That may be true, but dogs do have genetic dispositions. We had Border Terriers. They are bred to go into the ground to hunt vermin. They have a powerful prey drive for small furry things that go underground. You cannot train it out of them. In fact ours seemed to lack the ability to look UP for prey. They'd chase a squirrel off the porch and as soon as it ran up a tree they'd be looking in every direction except up. They were baffled, they had no idea where it went. It was so hilarious.
