There was something offputting about her personality. Setting everything else aside(which of course we can't) being very likable goes a long way to being accepted/defended/supported. Maybe it's the grease that makes the parts operate smoothly. I think her book outlining every cause of her defeat wasn't a gracious thing for her to do. I think she could have written a positive memoir about her life and political experiences without going to the dark side and whining and rehashing and regurgitating. It would have left better tracks. Of course she had a right to write whatever she wanted to write. It's just kinda disappointing that it wasn't more gracious, graceful, upbeat. Just my opinion. Yours? less

They DECREASE them because automation increases and the need for human workers decreases. BRILLIANT. Whatcha think?

So if you are in Boston which is south of Maine you can travel "downeast" which obviously is north. Looking on a world Map the Australia "Down Under" makes a lot more sense than the US Downeast/Down East. What other confusing things are there in the English language?

But, I was pleasantly surprised. A chef from a posh restaurant in a posh town cooked the meals. Among other things, he made a wonderful venison stew, moose & venison spicy meatballs, moose and venison lasagna (my favorite dish), and wild turkey enchiladas. They then held a raffle and auction. I didn't win the Henry .45-70 Steel Wildlife Edition Rifle that I wanted. I thought I had managed to talk the two guys selling the tickets to rig it for me. After they got over their shock that I wanted a chance in the raffle, they told me I would look amazing holding it. I told them I knew that and they needed to make it happen! They said they would do what they could. But they didn't do nuthin'. :-( However, I did win a bottle of jailhouse toilet raisin wine. less

Once upon a time long ago Jim had to wait to see his doctor for TWO AND ONE-HALF HOURS for his SCHEDULED appointment. There was no emergency. The doc was just overbooked. He is no longer Jim's doctor. What is your horror story?
