It cuts the dogs and the ponies down to size and we realize they are just ordinary animals doing ordinary things of dysfunctional typical devious self-serving nature. They never change. It is always the same. The same tricks done the same ways over and over and over and over and over and over etcetera and so forth. They are limited in all ways and yet some dog and pony watchers get caught up in the spectacle and elevate the dogs and ponies to heights that are dizzying. Dogs and ponies. Ponies and dogs. Joined together in union forever with fans cheering them on thinking that it all matters greatly. Pathetic isn't it? less

She plead GUILTY, took complete responsibility, apologized to her daughter for betraying her and is awaiting sentencing. I think some jail time is indicated but I'm not certain. She was charged with one count of illegal behavior.Lori Loughlin and her husband paid $500,000 to get both daughters into USC on bogus athletic scholarships There was much involved in doing that. They just pleaded NOT GUILTY. After the plea the judge charged whem with additional crimes of a more severe nature. I think at first they too were only charged with one count of criminal behavior. So I guess their punishment for not pleading guilty was to be charged with additional counts of illegal behavior. What are the mechanics of what happens next? Is this a typical way to proceed? Is arrogance involved? Do they honestly believe they did nothing wrong? I'm trying to figger out what possible value this will have to them and I c... less

So by July our son, his wife and their dogs will only be a 8 hour drive away instead of a two and a half day drive away. Cheers!
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away? Yesterday Augusta, Georgia for the happy glory. Today Paris France for a very sad story. Stay detached. SIGH. How?

Well here we are today and the loss is Notre Dame...in Paris.It has sufferend "colossal damage" from fire that is still burning. Right now efforts are being made to salvage as much art and other priceless things that are there.I shall never see Notre Dame in in all its glory. Something so important and meaningful and sacred to Parisians, the French, the world has been heartbreakingly destroyed.Condolences to all the French who have suffered this great loss. Condolences to all of you who did see it in all its glory are saddened by what used to be there.And of course condolences to others like me who never had the privilege/opportunity of visiting the Cathedral when all was well and now we know we never will. less

The conversation goes in circles and always ends where it began. There is no hope for progress. All you get for time and effort is sameoldsameoldsameoldsameoldsameold. Why engage at all? What do you get out of Groundhog Day that makes you keep repeating repeating repeating repeating repeating? You are losing bits of your life in endless purposeless pursuit of WHAT?

But, as an adult returning to school, does it really matter if a degree comes from a state university or a no-name college, so long as it's accredited? Do employers really care at this point?

They have all the money. They want more of the same because they want more and more and more money. It solidifies their superiority over all others in their own eyes. They will pay and pay and pay to insure that their CASH COW will continue let them milk it. No brainer. DUH!

He seems to be impressing many folks including some who are "across the aisle". Then too we have the women who are running, some of whom are women of color. I think any one of them will break more ground (ice to continue the metaphor). We don't need to settle for rich old white nationalist reactionary antiquated addlepated homo saps any more ever again. Isn't that good news? less

Is that among the most stupid dumb things she has ever yet said? AS IF SHE WOULD KNOW WHAT SMART IS? She is so full of herself 24/7 her contempt for others oozes like pus from every orifice when she speaks. She is contemptuous disdainful arrogant supercilious condescending and stupid dumb. Great combination mirroring that of Dondonjohn! How long will she continue to wave? How long before she starts twisting in the wind? less
