How do you smooth transition anything in 3 days unless you were doing nothing at all so there was nothing to transition with?
She is folding her tent and stealing away in the night. Another rat leaving the sinking stinking ship of state. Besides Dondon who will go down with the ship and drown metaphorically?

I have never seen the child, not even in photos, so I don't know if it's a matter of braces or dental surgery or what, I'm just curious to know if any of you might be familiar with that type of thing. Thank you.~

Theoretically/figuratively of course since there is no reality vis a vis PERFECTION. It is all fantasy what-iffing. Mental exercise into a land we can only dream of but never inhabit.
Ever met a Yo-Yo that was a homo sap? Yes no yes no maybe yes no yes no maybe yes no yes no yes no maybe. and on and on and on and on ad infinitum! Indecisive or insane or simply inane?

Can a wart become cancerous and therefore life-threatening and a beauty mark never ever ever would or could? Are they identical and the only difference lies in the eyes of the beholder? Inquiring minds wanna know. Are there MORE warts than there are beauty marks these days? Are homo saps waxing or waning as a species?Can a beauty mark become a wart and vicey versey? By what means over what period of time? less
Do you require support to continue on? Does lack of it cause you to wither on the vine become supine and toe the line? Do you need others' approval to venture forth and speak? WHY?

But allegedly some non-citizens have joined and been deployed and fought and survived and come home BADLY DAMAGED due to their war experiences and were DEPORTED. If untrue that is a CRUEL EVIL horror story. If TRUE WHAT SAY YOU?

Rules only apply to "the little people". The Wealthy are never little people. Their appetites are ENORMOUS so of course they are always very big. Their crimes are very big. That's the advantage to being wealty when your core is corrupt. You can buy your way into anything you want anytime you want on whatever stage you want and if caught you are very likely to get away with it. How? BY BUYING YOUR WAY OUT OF THE MESS YOU CREATE! And so it goes. Time after time. Century after century. SIGH. less

The more you try to get away with things the greater you become or the lesser? How does that work?

We have adjusted to becoming less than we used to be. Some even enjoy it and are very good at it. The DETERIORATION OF A NATION. I would have preferred reading about it in a novel that was fantasy. Living it in our reality is not my cuppa tea but it seems to be for many. Different strokes.

Yet it is a draw, a lure, an irresistible occurrence for some who live for it. A mystical emotional roller coaster ride they seem to be addicted to and simply cannot quit. It is a way to pass the time away because there is nothing else that moves them so than the repetition of what they've heard dozens of times before but can't get enough of forever more. Weird. less

How can the same old thing hold any value for anyone? A way to kill time together? Have they come to this? Is that all there is? Apologies to Peggy Lee and the song of the same name. Whatever the city or state the prate never changes. Some may have it memorized including the crazy hand movements. How can the same thing be endlessly exhilarating fascinating exciting? I don't get it. less

I usually get brief/ generic feedback at the end explaining my grade. Typically something along the lines of "demonstrated competency." or "enjoyed reading this." With the last time, one of the questions asked what I had learned form the chapter. I highlighted what I didn't learn and asked the professor a bunch of questions. He still gave me a perfect score and left a comment that I demonstrated proficiency. Obviously, he isn't reading anything I write. How many teachers/ professors do this? less

Personally, I've never disliked brushing my teeth, and I've never heard heard of anyone else disliking having to brush his or her teeth. Do you find validity in the quoted statement above?

My deposit got stuck in the tube and wouldn't go in my account until Moonday. We lived paycheck to paycheck and couldn't go grocery shopping.

I wonder how others manage this? I do mean non-naughty wise although that's a good question for elsewhere :P
