Party Time

Happy to point that out to you. :)

I'm glad you have the confidence to go your own way at times.

I've never believed you have to follow the crowd.  Nothing wrong with having different likes and dislikes.  

GASP!  Say it isn't true.

"We do not know about the LA cybertruck bomber yet....but we do know he was a Ukraine recruiter."  DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU WRITE?

If I wanted to answer your original question, I would have.

I think you misunderstand what you read.  By your own admission, he's not an official recruiter.  There's a big difference between supporting Ukraine and RECRUITING soldiers to fight there.  The link you provided says that he RECOMMENDED a ...  moreI think you misunderstand what you read.  By your own admission, he's not an official recruiter.  There's a big difference between supporting Ukraine and RECRUITING soldiers to fight there.  The link you provided says that he RECOMMENDED a friend for a very specialized job listed on LinkedIn.  That is not the same as recruiting that person.  He wrote: “I’ve got a top 18D recently ETSd who is looking for just this opportunity, sent him your way.”  

My mistake.  I'll try to do better.

YOU BROUGHT IT UP.  If it's off topic, then don't post it and I won't respond to it.

I'm shocked!

Good one. :)

I am so very sorry to hear this.  I know how difficult it is to put down a pet who is more like a child.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the gre...    less

In Vegas: Investigators identified the Tesla driver as active-duty Army Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, who was on leave from his base in Germany. Still searching for a motive, they said there’s currently no information that definitively reveals his ideology. This was posted this morning.  The story changes daily.  I am, however, surprised that the Vegas attack was perpetrated by an active duty soldier on leave.  UPDATE:"LAS VEGAS (AP) — The highly decorated Army soldier inside a Tesla Cybertruck packed with fireworks that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas shot himself in the head just before detonation, authorities said Thursday."

I can't think of a specific song that surprised me by learning the artist, but it has happened.  I don't pay a lot of attention to the artist who performs a song.  I either like the music or I don't.  

To where would you deport a natural born citizen? 

That looks like one of the old muscle cars of my youth.  It never was a hit, though.

It's beyond ugly - it's atrocious.  I also seems to have trouble starting in cold weather.

Would you buy a Tesla truck? A Tesla truck exploded outside Trump Int'l. Hotel in Las Vegas today killing one and injuring seven.

I thought I would wake up early, too, but I slept until 8:15!  Got a solid 8 hours.Happy New Year.

Wonderful news.  Now, if only my sciatica would lighten up ...Happy New Year.

Great.  Happy New Year.

Are we bright-eyed and bushy tailed this morning or can we not stand the crashing of our eyelids?

"Badges?  We don't need no stinkin' badges.""You talkin' to me?""Take the gun.  Leave the cannoli."

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe new year.

I was invited to a get-together, but I'm just not feeling it, so I'm staying home.  Have a happy new year.

I can write the words, but I can't make you understand them so I'm finished with you and this conversation.

This may sound odd to you, but I don't need your permission to talk to JA.You may be entitled to your own opinion, but you aren't entitled to your own facts.  The fact is, Mexico did not pay for a border wall.

I'm talking apples and you're talking oranges.  Keep being stubborn and I'll make a complaint to JA.  I've about had enough of this nonsense.

HE PRIOMISED TO PUT UP A WALL.  HE SAID MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR IT AND THEY DIDN'T.  STOP ARGUING WITH ME.

I can't wait to see the reply.

You asked for examples of what he promised and didn't come through on and I said the border wall.  

Did Mexico pay for a wall?  No, they did not.  No context to be taken there.  They did not pay for the wall Trump was going to build.I know the entire quote.  It is likely that if Trump over-tariffs other countries, they will do the sa...  moreDid Mexico pay for a wall?  No, they did not.  No context to be taken there.  They did not pay for the wall Trump was going to build.I know the entire quote.  It is likely that if Trump over-tariffs other countries, they will do the same to us and the cost of living will increase, not decrease.    

You're looking at the picture at the top.  My comment was about the photo Welby posted further down.

He can be buried in that.

Jimmy Carter may not go down in history as one of our most accomplished presidents, but he will certainly go down as one of the most moral, honest, ethical, caring, generous ones.  Rest in Peace, Sir.

His head is down - he's not looking up at something and the camera angle is from above, not below.  Are we looking at the same photo?

Every man looks great in a tux except his Orangeness.

I hadn't thought of that, but I think he'd look cooler wearing a burial shroud.
