It isn’t about what you wear - its the accessories that count. I’m going with my new jeans, pocket tee shirt, and I’ll accessorise my rifle with a gleaming bayonet. One poke makes new believers. Much more menacing than just a firearm.

Nope. Not voting tomorrow. I have decided to just stay home, wring my hands, and let you guys do the heavy lifting for me.

Besides, if I vote tomorrow, I will have voted twice, which is illegal in Tennessee. OF COURSE I already voted.

UNION MEMBERS FOR TRUMP! This isn’t even going to be close!

Lefty here too. I am also a youngest child. I feel that we lefties see things somewhat differently, but not enough to make us special in any way except as a closer in baseball. For me, the youngest of four and only boy, I feel that my birth order status cancels out any other advantages I might have from being left handed. Maybe its just your white priviledge shining through. (/sarcasm)

I ran 179,000 miles on the original 4.0L engine and 120,000 more on a used one. Both blew oil out of the ccv like crazy. Had the last one rebuilt with the redesigned valve cover, and it’s leak free. If yours has the 4.0L in it by chance, be sure to put the redesigned valve cover on it.

you are so right. I’ve spent as much restoring that beast as I paid for it new. I just bought a new battery for it, installed a new front bumper and grille, and realized that the alternator isn’t charging and the blinkers don’t work. If I didn’t love that old truck, I would have set it on fire and pushed it into the lake long ago.

I knew all those years of watching Tarzan movies on Saturday afternoons would pay off eventually!

This admissions scandal has gotten under my skin more than other "beautiful people" displays of arrogance.

As a parent of a daughter graduating college in August with zero debt after 4 years scrimping and doing without, I will be highly perturbed if college loans are forgiven.

A little bragging from a proud dad: Biology degree. 3.7 GPA. In Costa Rica right now studying leaf cutter ant habits. I am SO proud of her. She is also my familys first college grad.

We caught the sunrise service from the park across the street from The Arlington Hotel. We opened our window on the 7th floor and sat by the window and enjoyed.

Diatomaceous earth is the bomb! Fleas, ticks, ants, garden pests, you name it. It does have a drying effect, so gloves are recommended for application. If your dog has dry skin issues, it might not be the best idea.

I also use the AdvantageII yard spray to knock them back. We haven't seen a flea yet this spring, and only 1 tick, and it was on the cat.

I had to make that decision last month. My beloved dog Petey was 18, deaf, blind in one eye, and becoming senile. I lost my Mom on November 12, the funeral was the 15th. When I got back from the funeral Petey couldn't walk and could barely stand to pee - after I carried him out. I waited until the next day (my birthday), and I just couldn't do it. The next day my daughter volunteered to take him to be put down after I broke down and cried my heart out. It was just too much too soon.

My bottom line is dignity and quality of life. When they are suffering, in a lot of pain, or start losing control of their bodily functions, it is time.

I haven't seen the postage due photo but in our package processing center there are machines that will scan the barcode, weigh the package, and reject packages for postage due. But these packages had no barcodes when they reached the sort center. We have stuff that will easily read those address labels, but I don't think they scan for stamps and calculate the postage paid, so they wouldn't necessarily be rejected for postage due.

In fact these would probably only be caught by an alert employee that happened to see them all together. Were they even dropped at the same location? I guess we'll know more soon.

The package is almost a perfect example of "suspicious mail" as identified by the USPS. USPS employees are trained to identify and report "suspicious packages". Clues are
1) misspelled addressee
2) hand applied stamps (usually many small denomination)Hand applied stamps indicates the postage was added at home and the package was dropped at a mailbox to be picked up. Also no transaction for postage, and no tracking.
3)Even the return address is misspelled. DWS office would have used her title in the return, and most likely a pre-printed label
4) The Git-er-done and flag is another tip off. Any extraneous message, especially hand written, on a package with other problems, raises flags.
Yeah. I'm a postal employee. (Maintenance Mechanic)

I don't do poetry much, but I did write one that I like. See what ya'll think
I once had a girl named Alice
She lived with her Dad in a palace.
I caught Alice in bed with a man named Fred
so I killed them with forethought and malace

My cat Pee Wee got one eye pecked out as a kitten because he wouldn’t leave the rooster alone. Since then, he has killed many dozens of birds, frogs, mice, and moles. Plus chipmunks, squirrels, and several snakes.

He and Professor Boodles and Lulu (the dogs) team up on moles. The cat finds them and stands next to the spot, then the dogs dig them up. How they know where to dig I don’t know.

Currently I have a dead chipmunk and 2 mice in the mud room awaiting disposal. Cats. Gotta love ‘em.

I've been thinking about the [1of22] that follows the Russian farce. I think he used it in an earlier post, also about the Russia probe.

1 of 22. If 22 were 100% of something, then 1 would represent 4.5454545454(to infinity)%. Could this simply be telling us that it will fade off into the distance. Past predicts the future. You can carry it to 1000 digits, but we already know the outcome. Just a thought. I'll read comments later. Off to bed. Work tonight.

Not sure what would be the best way to proceed. What I find most frustrating is that there seems to be nothing "we" as individuals can do to help the administration navigate the minefield.

The Deep State Shadow Government are a bunch of unknown players and will have to be rooted out as they are found, hopefully sooner than later.

The media, I think, will have to be taught a lesson. My suggestion would be for a couple hundred furious patriots protest at CNN HQ, then break the place up and burn it to the ground. Anything short of that will just be ignored.

We need some kind of way to fight back (politically) in numbers. I think about this constantly, and I know others feel the same way. What to do?

Listening to episode 5.04 as I type. Highly recommended.

A history of Europe:Key battles is another good one.

Along the same lines, I got on FB and went to Trumps page. 10/76 friends also subscribed to his page, up from 8 last week. I did the same for Hillary, and it was still 0/76

While Iwas looking on Hillarys page, she had a video posted 'bout Trump. IT HAD ZERO VIEWS! Karma.

I had the same thing happen on my phone. it drove me crazy till I figured it out. In case your phone is set up differently, go to where you would delete or modify the app in the settings.

Gp to application manager. Click on offending Yahoo app. Uncheck “notifications”. You will get a “do you really want to....” message. click yes.
Done.
