Now you might ask what is the relevance of that vis a vis the meaning of "john" versus the given name John? I dunno if there is any. I just thought it was interesting.

Friends gather at the home of the father of one of them. It is in a woodsy rural setting in winter, perhaps in Colorado or Montana. Maybe Canada. . He is a psychiatrist in his 40s who had married one of his patients. His father was recently killed in a nearby plane crash (he later visits the site of the crash) and the father's girlfriend is still living in the house. The psychiatrist's wife's young sister and her boyfriend are among the visitors. They all hang out and there is tension between the husband and wife. Later they all go to a roadhouse where a country band is playing. In the climactic scene the sisters are driving and the older one runs into a snowy field and admits to her sister that she recently had an abortion. She leaves her husband and they all put her on the outgoing train. The men return to the house and talk of goin... less

The crumbums can't touch you or get their hands on your votes. Why not outfox them? Why not ignore them ? Why not humiliate them by going around them entirely?

Since winning is everything and the only thing that matters in politicfs (and in everything else sadly) what's to stop poll workers from corrupting the process? I don't trust any of them to be honorable. Politics is not an honorable endeavor. Winning is everything. How you do it matters not. Sad. Never used to worry about such things. I always assumed right would prevail and honorable would rule. Silly me. :( less

Allegedly Twitter purged 70 million accounts in May and June and just identified another 9.9 million that are potential FAKES. If you play in those playgrounds you're surround by bots and fakes and phonies placed there to manipulate you politically. Bet you thought what you think is all your own. Bet you didn't know you are being played and shaped and formed by bots planted there to kill truth, embrace lies. You don't know who is whom or if it's a what. All make-believe fantasy enveloped in unreality. It worked. It keeps working. Inflammatory hate runs rampant through out and the hate lovers just lap it up and promulgate and spread it around. The price you pay for "having friends, staying in touch, communicating". Any of you FORMER Tweeters and FB ers who left because you got tired of interacting with fakes and being used? less

If we didn't have the cajones to call them on it and make them pay for it when they murdered our citizens why in the he** should we care if they butcher a Saudi citizen with A green card who lived and worked in America? Which brings to mind question.

Especially if you buy what he has to sell and spend millions and millions and millions on his brand and whatever his kids have to sell. That's the way to run a government by gosh by golly. Go where the big bucks are. Support defend the big bucks boys (they are ALWAYS boys..women are frowned upon and looked down upon in all cultures) no matter what they've done. It doesn't matter as long as the big bucks are there just keep them happy and in power. The super don doctrine. less

The extra REM sleep displaces non-REM sleep. Supposedly, these differences may account for higher intelligence in lefties as well as greater creativity. On the flip side, their "quality of sleep" is diminished. It doesn't go into how that might impact a person though. Everything I've ever read put a focus on getting enough REM sleep- that not getting that was what caused the most problems. I can't find anything on reduced NREM though. Anybody out there know? Here's the article for anyone interested: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/dream-catcher/201810/left-handedness-brain-evolution-sleep-and-dreams less

Repeatedly he said how lucrative doing business with the Saudis was because they bought hundreds of millions of dollars of super don stuff from him. He may not ever had any financial interests in the Saudis but they sure as he** have had decades of financial interest in him. Which liar do you prefer and why? The one who sez never never never ever ever or the one who bragged about how much they paid him ? less
