It's all abount the money honey. Now billionaire Elon Musk has a company called SpaceX but has said nothing about any plans to mine asteroids. He is mum. Not showing his hand. Playing it close to the vest. Isn't that best?

Dems and Republicans pictured together to honor the passing of a well-loved former first lady. A moment in time that was sublime and we have proof of it. Didja see it?

What the he** did she mean then and why did she say anything if she was gonna take it back while justifying it? I guess she got a lot of crap back but seriously folks who cares that she spoke up? I just wonder how much flak she got from her fans and others for having said that? I mean I like her okay. No big deal. I don't like her less nor more. I just don't care what her particular political views are. I mean that's her right and her business. Do you care? less

If there is an end to them it is far far away in another universe. Would be nice if that occurred with money. The more you spend the more you have to spend. SIGH.

It is puzzling because the generic crackpot is everywhere all the time it seems. They are the ones who give specific dates for the world to end. They are the ones who ignore what is actually happening, deny it and give their own version of what the non-crackpots know is gibberish. Millions for sure and quite likely billions. I suppose to really appreciate a crackpot you have to be able to relate and how do you relate unless you are one too? less

These days you don't know until it's late whom you can trust and whom you can't. It will get harder I think and perhaps never get better. This path we are on leads to a boom or doom? Your guess?

I'm running several, but only one will actually give me a map and how me where I've been and indicate where it thought I drove poorly. It doesn't give exact speeds, but it will gig me if it thinks I went over 80mph. The other day, it nailed me for it twice- once at the start of a curve on the freeway and a second time at the end of the curve; the points were roughly 2.5 miles apart. I thought it was BS because I was watching my speed... normal watching- not crazy staring at it. Anyway, I did the same drive again, but this time, the driver I was following had cruise control set and stayed at 69 the whole time, so I decided to stay behind him on purpose, all while closely monitoring my speed. I did not go over 70. I am certain. However, the app clocked me at 80+ again on the exact same curve. This won't impact me because I'm not going to buy car insurance from that company. However, I believe their app is faulty and will impac... less

I was not able to get my gift card applied to my subscription so I emailed Amazon and they replied that they could not let me pay with the gift card. I asked them this question that they did not answer. What difference does it make whether I pay the $8.99 with a debit card or with a gift card? Netflix letting me pay for their service with a Netflix gift card proves that Amazon's policy is stupid. Well I reckon l will have to cancel my subscription until I get my new debit card. less
