You NEED to WATCH the news... get it directly from his mouth. Just a FEW things from today. He said much more. From his mouth... Jews love him...

I don't know whether to be happy about it or not. It seems impossible to achieve a complete victory over the Taliban in Afghanistan although this...

Be very specific about what you are talking about, provide a link. I truly do not understand what specific point you are making with your shouty...

My comment you're referencing had to do with the economy, not the environment, but even if I had meant environment I'm not sure what negative effects...

What a joke! IL... watch the news today and SEE and HEAR what trump is saying (from his own lips). He has gone WAY over the deep end!

Just in case I mis-stated things, this is what NASA says. They did put a man on the moon after all (or so some say). OK, now I'm done. "The...

You don't think environmental regulations being discarded are negative?

The real blessing of a frugal lifestyle based on no-debt and cash expenditures:cool:

My first car was a purple Gremlin.

My mom drove an ugly mint green Rambler station wagon when I was in middle school.

Yes, I'm impressed with 95% probability, at least when talking Global Warming, which I believe to be a short term event already well on its way to...

I went to Dollar Tree and got bargains on things I need or will need in the next year such as deodorant and paint brushes.

I kind of liked the Edsel.

I wonder if the examples you provided were not based on any contemporary scientific methods, but more religious dogma and folklore. When you are...

Pacers are SUPER cool!

Science is usually right compared to all the quakadoodle theories that have replaced it in online media. Science is fallible and incomplete, yes I...

That's because "scientific consensus" is just a generalized agreement of opinion. It has no place in the scientific method of observations,...

I believe we should phase out fossil fuels, curb plastic and other pollution, maintain strict environmental rules to secure clean air and water and...

Not dismissive, just providing context for anyone interested.

I'm biting my tongue. I find it so interesting that such smart people can be so dismissive of global scientific consensus. ...

It's interesting to read about the Quaternary Glaciation Period and the alternating glacial and interglacial periods which are ongoing. A long term...

Work colleagues are so important. Mine were ok, but usually macho - and definately not pregnant! Best wishes Martin.

Right with you there on spending, SQ. No new house, but major expenditures this year for a water heater, furnace, central air conditioner, two...

So looking forward to seeing the photos as it sounds like a unique spot.

I do miss walking along Lake Michigan daily on my walk. I don’t miss winter.

Your house sounds great!

My dad used to drive a Matador. My best friend inherited his dad’s Hornet. The AMC Pacer was the coolest of all. Especially when you had a long...

Yes IL your gremlin was made there.

I don't want to get into a climate change debate, but only to say it's not that it's changing, but it is the rate of change. There is no real...

I think it does have a historical comparison, we just think that climate changes during our lifetime are unique. The climate has always been in a...

Would Kenosha be where my late lamented AMC Gremlin was built? When I win the lottery I’m going to buy a creampuff Gremlin, One that someone has...

Roger, your comments are always so reasonable and they speak truth. Thanks for posting!

America has always had the down trodden and we are remiss in ignoring them regardless of the relative numbers. They were there with Obama and with...

It just may not make a lot of sense to see things in that type of historical context. Some problems we face are in some sense bigger than the Nazis...

It is a common trait of conspiracy theorists to decry the willful blindness of people who don’t share their views. America isn’t The Weimar...

The regime in power counts on citizens downplaying or denying similarities, I'm pretty sure. By "desperate measures" are you referring to the removal...

I consider the analogy between Hitler and Nazism a false or exaggerated analogy when comparing to the US and Trump. However, it's worth pointing out...

I wonder if Germans in the run-up to full-blown Nazism were as blind to or unfazed by what was happening. As the meme goes, it didn't start with...

I just paid a $2231.29 Visa bill not due until Sept. 27 because I can't stand seeing that HUGE number over in the debit column! Plus, my credit card...

I think you’re right about Trump. If people grant him a rent-free tenancy in their heads, they share responsibility for the resulting mental...

I try not to let a bonehead like Trump rule my day to day happiness. My life under T is pretty much the same as under Obama and nothing has really...

Once they are totally dry and out of the temporary container (we use paper lunch sacks or manilla envelopes) then I put them in small white...

Thanks. I will have to check it out.

Avengers Endgame. While Xmen was my comic of choice as a kid, I remember a decent amount of Marvel, so I thought this would be good. It was Eh.

And if someone would confiscate his damn phone. Permanently.

The constant drama with Trump causes unhappiness. If he would keep his trap shut it would help immensely.

Yes Yppej is correct. My son sponsored his fiancée 10 years ago and it was for 10 years. It appears it’s shorter now.

Sponsorship is alive and well. It was not dropped, it just is not being enforced consistently. They did deny Food Stamps to the couple, stating that...

Sponsorship law changed and was dropped in 1964. We immigrated in '61. I only learned of this change when I spent 1/2 day in the Holocaust Museum...

Finished "Radical Homemaker". Nearly done with "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society".

It is not what I usually read but I like it.

The daughter did agree to sponsor her parents but is not doing so. The formula is if over 50% of support is from her they can still get some...

Immigrants that come without a sponsor do deserve benefits to get established and it’s expected. The immigrants that are sponsored and someone signed...

Right? Our kitchen and bath cabinets are solid Alder. We've been here 28.5y. I'll never paint them nor will I ever replace them.

Tybee, how do you store your seeds? I live in a zone that ranges -29 to 112 F. I've not saved seeds year to year because I always fear they won't...
