Failing to make a left turn or taking so long to do it that the light turns red10. Failing to make a right turn or taking forever to do it when it is legal to do so and traffic conditions allow for it 9. Driving with a child or a dog on their laps8. Blocking a lane or road when they are looking for an address, picking up or dropping off, or even worse, stopping to talk to someone else7. Speeding to get to a red light or a stop sign6. Slowing down in front of me just because they see a police car, especially when the officer is on the side of the road and busy doing something else5. Being on their cell phones and not paying attention to traffic4. Playing their sound system much too loudly (please note that I didn’t say “playing their music”; usually not anything fit to be called music)3. Cutting me off2. Throwing trash out of their car windows1. Tailgating less

Some of you may have seen the advertising campaign for Untucked, a product line for men. Bear in mind that I am not referring to casual shirts, athletic shirts, etc. A business setting, a formal event, a situation where that requires a more impressive demeanor than average, all may call for a shirt to be tucked in. If a man wants to display how laid back or relaxed or cool or hip or groovy or with-it he is, then an untucked shirt may be wholly appropriate, fine. Conversely, when the goal is presenting oneself in a tidy, gentlemanly, respectful manner, then tucking in the shirt is not the end of the world. What‘s your take on the issue?*Capitalization is for emphasis. ~ less

Lately when I try to apply the brakes, they are mushy and unresponsive. Since this problem began about ten days ago, I have slammed through various stop signs, stop lights, and intersections, I have nearly rear-ended more than a few cars, I have scared pedestrians in crosswalks who thought I was go to bowl them over, when o try to park the car, I have plowed into things such as walls, fences, barriers, and shrubs as if I am driving a battering ram on crack. Looking back a couple weeks, everything was perfectly fine with the brakes. Well, that’s not entirely true. The brakes were squeaking all the time, and day after day it got increasingly worse, increasingly louder, increasingly annoying. It got so bad that I remedied it by spraying globs and globs of WD-40 directly into all of the working parts of the brakes. Every time the squeaking started again, more WD-40. You probably wouldn’t believe how much of it I slathered on there, it was Goo City. I gu... less

When Obama was president, things were more or less fine, minus frequent squabbling about polarization and gridlock in Washington. Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the world has become a garish, nightmare-inducing cavalcade of terrible news, due primarily to the president’s general incompetence and tendency to make policy decisions based on volatile whims and reactionary impulses.2. Trump’s ascendance was the natural result of the most staggering economic inequality since the Great Depression coupled with increasingly blatant racist and xenophobic rhetoric from the right. less

See how kind and caring they are about the tragediews befalling others. Any chance they can to stick it to us politically partisanwise they will and they do. A pox on all their houses. May they all know what it's like to be down and stomped on by your fellow AMERICAN citizens. My wish. Shame on all of you. Shame on you. Shame.

That is the cause of his desperation. There is no there there for him on his own alone and he relies on those outside him to save him and service him and obey him and adore him. Take them away? He's got nuthin'. Which he knows which is why he is getting more and more desperate as time goes by.

His wife had to live with his deterioration the rest of his life and it must have been the hardest thing she ever had to do. I don't wish that on anyone for any reason.Getting back to the point. Shouldn't a prez be razor sharp and at the top of his/her game intellectually mentally a well as physically emotionally and dare I say spiritually? The job takes a huge toll on anyone who holds it. They enter vibrant energetic dynamic youthful and they leave sapped of energy having aged tremendously. It is not a job for the faint of heart. I just don't know if Joe is up to it. less

Each time it rankles more and more and more and more and more. The building of rankling is getting so big that now when he speaks and I mute him I wish silence to be thrust upon him. One day if he should just have a stroke big enough to incapacitate him. I will not grieve. I don't condone any unnatural act by anyone. I hope his brain farts or just has a hiccup and he is sidelined the rest of his life by "natural causes". Aphasia would be okay too. That's where he thinks he is saying words others understand but they all come out as gibberish. My stepdad was in a terrible accident and was afflicted with Aphasia. He'd chatter away a mile a minute and only my mom understood what he said. The motormouth can live to his triple digits if his health holds. Don't want to take him out. Just want to shut him up from here to eternity futurely. I've heard enough from him to last many lifetimes. Aphasia will do the trick and he won't be harmed by it. What could be perfecter than that?

I wonder among that number how many are children and I wonder among that number how many are scarred for life? A child should never have to experience displacement or separation from family or despicable treatment. SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO. But they do. Every day in every way everywhere including here. Wherever YOUR "here" is be assured children are being damaged .

It has to me on rare occasion but often enough to wonder whether I ever really understand anyone? I tend to relax after awhile with people I think are dependable on whom I can count to be civil thoughtful honest and kind. Not that we agree all the time because who does THAT? No one I know. But then all of a sudden it seems the "pal" isn't at all but just another other with whom you have to be very careful and on guard.It is unsettling to me and it may well be entirely my fault. For thinking there was a friendship there when there never was? For assuming things not in evidence? For overlooking certain things until their meaning became unmistakable? I dunno.

They BELIEVE in HIM with all their hearts and all their souls and all their minds that he was sent to them because of his perfection and goodness and grace and that GOD will protect him and them from those who see him as the spawn of the devil.The battle lines are drawn. It was predicted long ago. The Battle between GOD/GOOD and DEVIL/EVIL. They see EVIL as the antidons and GOD as the pro motormouth. As GOD is his witness right? GOD sent motormouth to them as his second begotten son. So motormouth is now suffering "on the cross" of vilification excoriation demonization degradation humiliation denigration.Will the motormouth end up as Jesus did? Crucified? Will motormouth die and be resurrected just like Jesus? If GOD sent him to the prodons to save the world will it only be possible through the death of motormouth (figuratively of course)?

Why can't they do that even for a little while instead of the ramping up revving up accelerated gibberish and cacophony they create? A tower of babbling noisy yappers. Does not make sense nor advance the cause. The more they talk the more ground they give away. All of them. Not one of them shows any semblance of intelligence. They all are on board that same bandwagon which is careening at top speed out of control to a distant edge. They're too busy jabbering to notice. less

The motormouth will not even admit that Russia meddled in the 2016. He REFUSES to do so. He rolls over for Assad and Erdogan and is a rug for Putin to wipe his feet on and does nothing but suck up to the Saudi Crown Prince. He fawns over Kim. He is not interested in securing our country from harm. He only wants to open it up to all despots and dictators and men who can intimidate while making sure that people of color are kept out. Your president at his very best. Groveling begging importuning rolling over whimpering frightened terrified cowardly. Ya got what ya wanted. Are ya happy now? less
