Read on, please. I recently spent a fairly moderate yet still significant amount of money buying one set of item that I thought I needed, and a similar amount special ordering another set of items that were not available in the brick-and-mortar store. After a day or two, I found out that the last time I had needed these items, about six or eight months ago, I had anticipated saving money and time by buying extras then, which I stored away for safekeeping. Unfortunately, being forgetful, I didn’t remember the stash. So here I am with doubles, and even more on the way when the special order package arrives. All of this promoted my question. Do you think companies’ profit margins are boosted by outbreaks of knuckleheads like me ... less

They often have lots of candidates running, which creates chaos. This will result in more orderly races and campaigns.Any important races or issues decided today where you live?

Is impeachment and conviction the Democrats' only hope of preventing four more years of Trump in the White House?The Monmouth poll had other interesting findings as well, which I will not try to use in the name of anti- or pro-Trump hyperbole (rare on this site, I know), but will leave to the reader's interpretation.

The Real Story of Donald Trump Jr.
All he ever wanted was to make his dad proud, but things have never turned out quite right for Donald Trump Jr. Even now, despite finding his purpose as a bombastic star of the far right, Junior’s personal life is in shambles and the specter of Robert Mueller looms large. As Julia Ioffe disc... less

But that turned out not to be the case because 18 years later doctors inadvertently discovered the marijuana — calcified in his right nostril — during a head scan.“During a prison visit, the patient’s girlfriend supplied him with a small quantity of marijuana, inside a rubber balloon. In order to evade detection, the patient inserted the package inside his right nostril,” they continued. “Despite effectively smuggling the package past the prison guards, the patient then accidentally pushed the package deeper into his nostril and mistakenly believed he had swallowed it. He remained unaware of the package’s presence until presented with the unusual histopathology report.” less

My husband's very good state of health went down during Christmas time 2018 and in February 2019 he lost total kidney function because of a blood disorder he was diagnosed with in 2004. Next to getting hemodialysis 3 x per week for 4 hrs. each time he had several hospital stays and surgeries, including an heart valve replacement and a stroke followed. Afterwards he was in Stroke Rehab and then he received Physical Therapy in our trailer and he exercises walks now with a rollator/walker. I had to drive him to all appointments and events after not really having driven our long heavy truck for 10 years. I was suddenly a driver, a nurse, a dietitian and doing any heavy chore in our household myself. My hubby is 86 and I will be 84 this month. He had lost so much weight that he still looks like a skeleton with skin. But since September I have another nice small car, our old dually chevy with a crew cab and an 8' bed, which stalled almost at... less
