Oh, I know not all BS is equal. The BS I had at the 13.5 year job I was laid off from in 2020 was extremely toxic. Then the next job (the WFH one)...

Oh My Indeed! Where I grew up in S/E Missouri goatheads and sand burrs were as prolific in the yards sandy soil as cotton, corn and alfalfa were in...

I have quickly gone through my decor totes (all seasons/holidays) and put four things to the side so far. One every day item, one Christmas item, and...

And yet the mainstream media has only been wringing their hands over another candidate's possible mental decline. Questioner: “If you win in...

Just saw that elsewhere. I'd forgotten some of the songs he had done.

“ self indulgent” indeed. I heard one of the podcasters, I think it was Jonah G, give his impression that Donald Trump talks about policy when his...

She seemed to have a lot in common with Warren up to a few months ago. Now she’s just running as a sort of feel-good emoji. It seems to be working as...

Probably Kamala’s vagueness works in her favor. it’s easy enough for voters to project whatever they want onto her. That’s one of the advantages of a...

You’d prefer Harris be more like Elizabeth Warren? She literally had a plan for everything.

When we moved from the city, I got rid of crap tons of Christmas stuff. I mean, we had three fake trees. And numerous junk. That was one of my...

OK. We know what you are against. But what are you for?

It should be a contest for the ages. Bloviating bluster versus weaponized vagueness.

Trump is no conservative. He is a philosophically unmoored opportunist. He’s not interested in small government. He just thinks he can direct big...

I would rebuild both parties from scratch if I had the chance. Or, preferrably throw them both out, as well as our economic system. If I could trust...

Wow. I'm in awe. Put that on my list of jobs I'd be fired from my first week. I found The Purge of 2019 to have been an interesting exercise in...

Thanks, IL. I really do find that quite interesting.

I am always surprised that I still get Xmas cards, since I have never sent them. (Well I do send one to a friend's autistic little girl who loves to...

You make a good point. Not all bullshit is equal.

My partner quit their job for that much pay cut AND longer commute. Sounds wonderful huh? But the prior job atmosphere was dysfunctional and abusive,...

If only trump would do the right thing and pull out of the race too. Hopefully his failings will be in full view and recognized next Tuesday!

You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise! See post #307

What a joke!

Trump is in his own party of old people with mental problems, but in some ways he does represent the traditional GOP, which is basically lower taxes...

He has good reason to think that way. After all he’s been the party’s nominee three presidential elections in a row. And apparently holds the power...

IL, I toss most out the cards. I keep a few each year.

That is so cool, Tradd, what a great idea!!

I don't think you are nuts at all. I still work part-time and I'm 68 and my health is not holding out, and I'd much rather have work so I don't have...

I can see where receiving 100+ cards, many from overseas, would be a fun Christmas tradition. You don’t need much more decoration. so, do you toss...

I send maybe 150 cards. And get about that many. I’m part of a British author fan group on FB and we’ve been doing a holiday card exchange for about...

I’m 55. I plan on working until 70 or longer as long as my health holds out. People here think I’m nuts but I’m single. I’d be bored at home. Yes, I...

haha, yep!

I thought that “We Love Joe” sign was a nice twist of the knife.

You know who thinks like you? Donald Trump.

I won't be able to go through the Christmas stuff until December when I start to decorate. That way, I'll know what things look like when done so...

I was worrying about who to vote for for the president, and then it occurred to me that I’m in a red state and it’s gonna go red and I don’t need to...

The last six presidential elections my state has gone Democratic, so imagine this time will be the same.

So many people have cut back on sending cards; I think your experience is the norm, getting few. We send a few out but not nearly what we used to...

I am also a Liz Cheney fan, and would be happy to vote for her.

Good point. Do you have any feel for how long you want to/need to work before you retire? Could you focus on investing that "extra" 15000-20000,...

I display cards as well. Normally they go all around our pantry door. But last year, I think I only got 3-4 cards. I guess others decided like me to...

It's proving harder than I thought. I'm looking at things and want everything to remain. Now there are some stuff that is on the fence so that's good...

Good luck! My Christmas decorations consist of a 2ft tall tabletop tree and decorations. Some years I get a small poinsettia. That’s it. I will...

For those interested in the obscurities of library classification systems: Academic libraries use a different classification system called...

No. My main book collection, back when I had one (before we moved to Hermann) was not organized by any principle other than, I suppose, size because...

That's a great idea to use pictures and circle what goes! Good luck.

Awww! I'd like to borrow that "book" from the library! IL, do you have your personal books organized by the Dewey Deciimal System? Just curious.

Yes. if your public library followed Dewey for novels, the novels would be 810 for American novels and 820 for English novels. Everything has a...

good job in downsizing and decluttering. It’s hard to reach the balance of the right amount of stuff isn’t it?

In our 39 years here, we were catless for 1 day (after our first cat Betsy Ross died). It was a truly terrible, horrible day, and we went to the...

IL: So it's the fact that they are plays rather than novels that has them in the NF section?

Happy gave voice to what I was thinking. You could find yourself enduring new, different BS, but BS nevertheless, for lower pay.

Is he as Irrelevant as RFK Jr?I have hard the same thing about him.

If one looks at all the republicans who have come out in favor of Harris it’s clear that actually there are two classes of republicans now. If Harris...

Oh yes, I've always been and will always be a republicationator. I'm unapologetic about my desire for smaller government and greater personal liberty...

What you don't seem to get is that trump IS the republican party now.
