Really good detailed recordkeeping isn't really that old compared to length of time when homo saps showed up.Does your family have an ORAL TRADITION it passes down from generation to generation?

Are they gonna go for broke and hope thousands and thousands get on board so they can show their gullibles how deep the state goes?If anyone else did what the sb prez did he/she would be charged with MULTIPLE FELONIES with regard to OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.It would humliate a normal AG but normal is not tolerated in D.C. So all the ABS scraped up from all the swamps filled the swamp to protect the sb prez. Watch it and weep or watch and CELEBRATE!Stonewalling. Bulldozing. Strongarming. Run out the clock. Contest and litigate every thing Show who is boss! That'll learn 'em to not vote for or support the sb! Watch. Learn from the master. SIGH.This is not for wimps. Only the strong can handle it. Look away. Nothing to see here folks. Go to sleep. Get drunk as a skunk and stay that way. Do drugs. Keep company only with like-minded folks. Armageddon awaits you. Gotchure popcorn and booze ready? less

Those were the days when gals WAITED to be asked. Of course they did look forward to SADIE HAWKINS DAY! The one day of the year gals were SUPPOSED TO ask guys out. I don't know if they still have Sadie Hawkin's Day dances but I never did muster up the courage to ask someone out! Too scared of being rejected I suppose. Too shy. Anyway getting back to the question of flirting. It really seems childish to me. Maybe I think and feel that way because my shyness prevented me from asking and gambling on being rejected and it provided me with a balm to soothe/justify my cowardice? I dunno. less

The base the greedy the selfish the "winners" who don't know how to interact with others beyond using them and besting them and destroying them. How PATHETIC is that? How worthless hopeless disgusting is that? Allegedly we should focus on "our better angels" and do the right thing. How many of us are disdainful of doing "the right thing"? How many of us live and breathe using others however they can to dominate and control and manipulate? Despicable! All despot dctatators are despicable. Those who are happy with them? I don't have a word for that. less

We are stupid dumb and incapable of learning anything. Why not start all over? What would you do if you were the creator?

I figgered she had just moved on and was disappointed that she didn't say "so long Rosie". A few weeks later I got an email telling me she passed away! I am still so sad about that all these years later.Apparently the sender of the email was thoughtful enough and kind enough to notify everyone on her Answerbag friend's list of her passing. Even in those days I asked a lot of questions and couldn't keep up with my responses so I was ALWAYS BEHIND. From time to time then, as I do now, I'd respond very late. So I did that and found many of her responses I had not answered. Which increased my sadness. So I did. Every one. I apologized to her (hopefully in HEAVEN she knew how sorry I was) and simply replied as if she were still alive. It haunts me still. So when people disappear from your life without notice maybe it's because they didn't want... less

Mindreader extraordinaire. CON ARTIST SCAMMER EXTRAORINAIRE! Ever see a movie titled NIGHTMARE ALLEY with Tyrone Power?It reminded me bigly of the sb in the White House at present. Though the sb is not handsome at all he is the same person as the main character in the movie who lies and bends and twists truth to gain advantage over the gullible. Slick. The guy starts off as a low-rate carny member. Works his up to big time society where he enjoys enormous success hoodwinking everyone by evil means and then at the end becomes a GEEK. Now do you know what a GEEK is? At the end of the movie (a gratuitous ending written to make the movie more palatable) it seems he will be saved from himself by the love of a good woman. That was a token ending that the author never wrote. The story was too dark. It had to have hope of a happy... less
After learning of the Kim Jung Un testing of short-range projectile missiles the sb prez sez "He(KIM) also knows that I AM WITH HIM and does not want to break his promise to me" .
