Re: An Extremely Tense Situation in D.C.

Lib told us: I've now reached a point in my life where I don't care about images, artistic flair, or surveys, especially telephone surveys. All I care about is results. I care about results because I'm seriously concerned about what I'm leaving behind for my children, grandchildren, and great-grandc...

Re: She probably cried to Jesus to save her...

I've only just now seen this. A good friend of 55 years died on July 17th - I had to break the news to another friend of hers who predated even me - 70+ years. I'll take care of the interment of her ashes in the UK and I'll probably have a priest say some words over the grave. Not because Alice was ...

Re: Looking for high creep, low viscosity lubricant

Have you tried WD-40? It's supposed to be good on stainless and does not corrode it. I have not tried this so I can't talk from experience.

Re: Store employee creates worldwide panic by doing her job

I was in England a few weeks ago. Stopped at a motorway service place for a pee and a coffee. As there often is, there was a bit a queue outside the ladies' loo. I went and did my business at the urinal. (If this is TMI, sorry.). A lady and (I assume) her daughter - 5 or 6 at a guess - came out of o...

Liberty told us: The debt will soon become unmanageable, and the money you want to spend on CPB will be needed to pay interest on that debt. Things could get so bad that we might have to close national parks, maybe even lease some to private concerns. In the end, we're going to have to raise taxes, ...

Re: This Troubles Me

Yes I didn't think a 17 year old male could become a sex offender through having sex with his 16 year old girlfriend. I thought there was something like a 3 year gap 'allowed' - or at least, not prosecuted - at that age but it might depend on jurisdiction

I recall him telling us weeks ago that the price of eggs had come down 97%. This would be true if eggs ever sold at $10 / dozen (they never got that high) and then came down to $0.30 / dozen (nope). OK he didn't pay attention in a sixth grade arithmetic class; but you would think (no you wouldn't) t...

Legal question re Idaho murders

This is about the 4 student murders in 2022, not the recent killing of two firefighters. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/idaho-murders-bryan-kohberger-plea.html Apparently the main suspect, who was arrested at the time and who has been in custody since, has been offered a plea deal under which...

Mamdani gives me pause and this is why. I like what I have read so far. He appears to be pragmatic: maybe he is the direction I want the Dems to go in.

Apart, of course, from the whole Civil War thing. That's rather like pointing out that Hitler was a decent guy. Yes there was the Jewish issue, but let's not forget that he was kind to children and dogs.

Regime change would have been nice, but only the Iranian people can make that happen. Still, at least the war is over, maybe things will be better now. . . . .

Trump of course is well known for a teetotal lifestyle because he saw the effects on his alcoholic brother. That's the story, anyway.
