Entirely possible. But it makes no nevermind. For a certain segment of the RWW, it's all about the 'gotcha'. Having no real arguments, they'll seize on any opportunity - legitimate and fair or not -...

Sweet!!

Sitting at lunch with the toddlers. Planning our afternoon activities and assembling supplies. We were gonna play 'SPIES'. Then I accidentally drank the disappearing ink.

Now I'm in the ER......

You are too kind. And, yes, waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better looking. But more important... smart, funny, and uppity. Them's the best kind!!

I forget - did you start the thread by promising to answer with the truth?

What I need to know is: what drug, or cocktail of drugs, or hypnotic technique, or whatever... do you use to keep that...

What I'm noticing is that I'm still kicking, while many of my boating group is ageing out. Death or infirmity.

So I've become the conduit for 'stuff' in my area. Books, boat gear, outboards, even...

Morning All,

I was gonna sleep in today, but Tulsy made so danged much noise with the coffee and all... it woke me up clear out in OR-e-gone.

Gotta go out to the country and look at a project...

Yes, shocking news.

I'd say it likely signals the end of the Pac12.

Yes, there's more support than ever now for abortion availability and women's rights in general. More pushback against the egregious SCOTUS malfeasance.

No substantive response to his correspondent.

Weird irrelevant graphical content.

Yup... it's a Ted post.

As I've noted before, the TONE directed at bbbbbbys that you object to didn't start out 'exasperated'. It started out respectful and collegial. He EARNED every ounce of disapprobation he receives....

No background. No research. No thought invested prior to posting. A weird, idiosyncratic understanding of what triggers an official declaration of 'recession'.

Yup... it's a Ted post.

I didn't know she liked beer, either!!!

'Regulatory Capture' is a well-known way that capitalism can go wrong.

And it is just one more sign that the Acton Dictum is in play.

I could disagree with any hint of 'harsh'. Where do you find it so in those two questions as phrased?

Yes, different dynamics. Very different.

One difference - tRump's unpopularity was almost totally self-inflicted. Inspired by things he did and who he is.

Sorta. But not precisely.

I do get weary of repeating myself, but here it goes again. "... is ultimately destructive" is hyperbolic.

Are you sure about that one? I thought it was always safe, and always 'in order' to blame the skinny kid <G>

Morning All,

Interesting coffee discovery. I buy various 'good' coffee - from the supermarket, or coffee shops, or direct from some very well-regarded roasters. Always interested in learning more....

I've spoken before decrying this level of ahistorical, ignorant, cynical, nihilism. It's lazy and self-indulgent.

And most of you lot are rolling exuberantly in it.

Oh, and it's just the...

You go, guys!!! We're all rooting for ya!

Thank GOD this reign of terror is over!!!! :rolleyes:

Hear, hear!!!

DOUBLE Congratulations!!!

I agree. So tell your buddy bbbbbbbys to answer the questions and end it.

Sounds like a very regimented, bureaucratic organization you work for. I'd never make it. I'd say something blunt and get fired... probably sooner than later. Too many years as the boss... able to...

Careful. You know how easily you sprain various body parts!! <G>

Morning All,

Coffee & cake on board. Garden watered. Day planned. Time for a nap <G>

Hope everyone is doing good this morning!

For those who don't know the old labor song, 'Joe Hill', here it is. I rewrote it as a tribute for a much-loved boating companion. Sang it a capella for our boating group after his death.

A bit understated, but quite good!

You could pay closer attention. He's perfectly capable of being reasonable, as I've said. And it's nice to see that he can.

I do read the labels. Have for decades. Back then, it was the best way to find out who was doing what. These days, I've got a pretty good handle on it. Never, for instance, bothered to look today....

It's from a smaller local firm. They don't go full 'organic, all-natural' but they do a pretty good job. Sodium is under 600mg per serving.

I have my doubts about that 'safe' part.

But I'd love to be convinced otherwise. Do you have info you can link to where they make the 'safe' argument? Is it the same as #13?

The more you watch Fox, and other disinformation sources, the more ignorant you become.

I answer to 'Blimpy' <G>

Back from the grocery expedition. It was a real adventure with toddlers in tow. Mostly fun though. Got some tater salad from the deli, too. All set for tonight.

True, except it started earlier. It started with Nixon and his gang of thugs. Watergate. The Southern Strategy. Etc. Back then, though, they were the minority of R leadership. Now - the vast majority...

BBQing burgers tonight. Heading out shortly to get some big buns <shaddup Tulsy>. Taking the babies and their mama... just for fun. I love bbq burgers!!

That's my understand also... of the current situation. But they continue to do research.
