We are having a block party, our own small sparklers, and lots of food and games. However, some of our neighbors are taking trips. I'd like to travel, but I just got back from a 2 week trip. I have to regroup, before going on another trip. Soooo, what's up with you?

They should block his tweets, like they do others. I was blocked for 2 weeks from Instagram, because I "was going too fast". Ha! Of course! I type fast! I posted 4 pics, one after another. Isn't that what Instagram is for? (rolls eyes).

Republicans can't come up with a better replacement because it was THEIR IDEA to begin with. Instead of making it better they vilify it because Obama adopted it. Whom does that serve exactly? Why not BRAG about it rather than try to destroy it? I don't get it. Do you?
Why can't you just do your best and not be concerned with what/how others are doing? Is competition an essential part of what makes humans tick? Are you pro or anti competition? Why?

If you repeal is the insurance gone immediately or does it phase out over time? Would you destroy your house without having a replacement ready? Anyone understand the mechanics of the Trump statement that the AHCA should be repealed NOW and replaced LATER?

The self-righteous believe God is on their side. Arrogant, aren't they? Assuming you believe in God we are all His children. What makes anyone think He has favorites?

Christians are no better than Muslims and Atheists like Stalin and the Soviet Union when Communism reigned all MURDERED people who did not buy the religious party line of that time. So it isn't whether you are religious or not that governs anything. It is whether you are humane and sane. Isn't it? Just a few examplesThe Crusades (Christian)Jihads (Islam)The Inquisition(s) (Christian)Holocaust (Christian)Muslim Conquests (Islam)KKK Murders (Christianity)Genocide of Native Americans (Christianity)9/11 (Islam)Armenian Genocide (Islam)What a sad history. less

Did God tell them or did they just decide on their own which books they liked and which they didn't? There were various councils over many years that addressed the issue. And politicians who controlled what was in and what was out. Do you trust those politicians of ancient times any more than you trust the politicians of today? Why? Human behavior has not changed. less

Did their parents make them feel that they were of little value? Where does that kind of mindset originate and can it ever be reversed?

Some random guy comes up to me , says Can I sit here? and I replied, Yes. He starts talking just chit/chat stuff and then starts trying to get me up to dance. I like to dance but I just felt so self conscious I kept saying no, not now. He made a pouty face and then pulls up his shirt in front of me, right up to his chin, and starts dancing right THERE in front of me, rubbing his belly at the same time!! Oh Wow- my friend came back and said, 'What the hell???' hahahaha less
