They want pols to work together to make it happen. So as people start dying be prepared for the wrath of the American people to descend upon Republicans in Washington D.C. and make them pay for it. How? No Republican who voted for repeal and replace will ever again be elected to any office. By that one egregiously stubborn and dumbheaded evil act they will seal their fate for decades to come if not foreverly. It's one thing to be deprived of the arts in school because the GOP has no use for anything refined, creative, artistic. It's another thing entirely to be deprived of life. Even worse, to have your child be deprived of life. If these dimwitted Pols thinks for a moment they will not be held accountable for what they do then they are even stupider than we think they are. Let's see how brave they are when thousands or millions of people march on Washing... less
Is one death tragic and the other one not? Is one life more valuable than another? Does the mode of dying make the death more noble? I don't get it. If you do please explain it to me.

We take away medical insurance and tell them they're on their own and some will die because of it. Please tell me how that makes any sense at all if you can. Can you?

Now the most infamous Trump Tell is that he has an insatiable need for approval. He will do/say anything for it. If he doesn't get what he wants he will attack, double down and obsess about it unto forever. He cannot let any slight go. He is a victim..a prisoner..of his own inadequacies and defects. Thus he is outwittable and easily manipulated. Predictable. He can be played so easily. Perfect isn't it? Simply perfect! :( less

Why is The Donald John so clueless about the words he uses? Is he that unaware of what's at stake here or does he just want to show off the military strength of the US and wants a venue to show off in and North Korea is as good as any? SIGH.

And then you have The Donald John telling the UN that America will totally destroy North Korea. What if Kim Jong-un pre-empts first? I dunno about you but this may be the worst of times. It certainly isnt the best. Good luck to one and all.

So Russia's goal was to sway an election. They set up fake accounts and bought ads that were designed to changed people's minds about Hillary Clinton. People set up fake accounts all the time and prepare political ads that are designed to harm their competitors and those ads are filled with lies. It is the American way. You have a product to sell. Sell it any way you can. That's how you rake in big bucks. Don't ask questions. I don't think Facebook wittingly colluded with hostile Russian forces to change the outcome of the 2016 prez election. As of July 2017 the US exported $3 billion, 669 million worth of goods to Russia and the US imported 9 billion, 706.7 million goods from Russia. Are all those customers vetted? less

(But there are much worse things I could have, I realize.)The last several weeks I've not been so good in dealing with anxiety. But I'm strong. I can journey through, a moment at a time.A prayer (even if one is not a believer, it's incredibly good advice, it seems to me) that helps is the Serenity Prayer:God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
The anxiety feels almost crippling at the moment. "Almost" - - so I'll even take solace is knowing it's only "almost," not "totally," crippling at the moment.:):) less

What's very worrisome now is that a Cat 5 hurricane is headed directly for Puerto Rico. About a million folks live there. The Island of Barbuda was destroyed by Irma but the population was very small.Some of the folks who are in Puerto Rico now fled from the Virgin Islands and Irma. Here they go again. Water is being rationed . I hope no one gets too thirsty.

Looking to yourself for solutions. Some whining about how the US pays more than its fair share. Push-Pull between threats and diplomacy. Called Kim Jong-un ROCKETMAN again from the podium on the stage of the United Nations. Elegant, articulate, presidential, thoughtful, substantive, admirable or the exact opposite? What say you? Why?

For an artist who paints on canvas would hand size matter? After all it is the brush that actually touches the canvas, not the hands. For baking I think it takes large strong hands for kneading bread dough and a lot of strength to pull a 25lb roasted turkey out of the oven without dropping it. For a sculptor large strong hands could be an advantage. For a seamstress I don't see how it would matter. For a construction worker the bigger the better because I think we associate bigger with stronger.. less

Is there automatic protection or do you just roll the dice and take your chances?
