When I do it's really crappy crap that seems more like a video software test than anything.

You would think a President-Elect would be grateful for their service. You would think so, wouldn't you?

I already use other more tailored groups for other questions that aren't fitting inside a more varied main board. Furthermore, those who wants to reply on political questions will be inside the debate room together with me, and likely notice my question as much as now, if not even more. Hmm.For newcomers, here is a link for the group: Debate Room

Every day is a feast day of one or more saints in the Catholic calendar. It is a chance to celebrate the daily mass of the church. The Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated with parades, traditions from Mexico (because she appeared in Mexico City to a poor peasant), music, and masses.I looked to see one celebration around Houston and found what one church is doing:1. They will start with a mass.2. Then they have a group of dancers called The Matachines to perform the dances.3. Then mariachis will entertain with playing of guitars and singing.4. Next, they will have refreshments and people are encouraged to have fellowship.5. People are also encouraged to dress in their country's tradition dress. It will be interesting to see the various countries represented in this diverse area. 6. People may also bring flowers to put on the altar before the mass is celebrated.7. Time: 6:30 pm - 9:45pm.... less

Never once criticizing Putin or Russia. Criticizing those who do. Attacking his own country and its people if they get out of line. This is what his peeps gave him permission to do by not calling him out when they should have done do. Where does he draw the line? He has no line.
That's what PET meant when he said "America First". He throws America under the bus first. Now we know. But Putin/Russia? Nope. Not a negative word against his beloved Putin.
PET has yet to attack Putin/Russia. He has no problem attacking America. What does he mean when he says "America First"? Throw it under the bus? FIRST?

I don't know if having a full-time nurse living in a home to care for the person would be cheaper. It seems shipping them out, farming them out to elsewhere is more convenient for those who choose to do that with their old folks. Maybe it's what the old folks want. Maybe they don't like living somewhere that is not theirs. I don't know. It just seems a shame to me that this is how our society treats its elderly. Do other countries do the same? less

At one point daughter dearest started getting hard to handle..insistent. They always stayed in that house and she wanted to go out into the world. The last scene shows the robot that was "the daughter" is now the maid. The robot that was "the maid" is now the daughter. Makes me wonder if the father had a robot wife as well. The robots in that long-ago TV show didn't know they were machines. They looked human. Could we all be robots and not know it? less

So he takes it out on the his subordinates at work because he can. Every fish has another fish who is big enough to bite him. And that fish has another fish and so on ad infinitum. Which fish intimidates you and whom do you take it out on? Why?

I'm at over 600 on my smart phone alone. The laptop probably has at least one and a half times that amount. ~

My email buddy and I enjoy jokes, but recently I was sharing that someone I knew back in college, recently died, at a young age, and I was so sad about it. Then I talked a little about death and how I ponder it, but his reply was nothing about the girl who passed, and just a joke about death in general. I don't know how really to respond to someone who may not show empathy for someone you knew, do you say something, let it go, or kind of distance yourself? Sometimes I admit I distance myself from people if they seem not to care what I'm saying (which I'm unsure if that's the case or not)... or if they are rude etc .... I'm not sure how to reply.. less
