18 seconds on UToobz = morning scornful laugh. Even the camera man is cringing!

You can get shingles only if you’ve previously had chicken pox. It always manifests only on one side of your body, with varying degrees of painful sores erupting along nerve endings.
I got shingle on the left side of my face - pretty ugly and painful, and also a danger to my sight, but the doctor kept it under control.
I’ve read if you’re re-exposed to chicken pox every 10 - 20 years, you won’t get shingles. Since chicken pox is rarely seen these days, people in general aren’t re-exposed, and for that reason there’s a shingles epidemic.
Yeah, TOTALLY different.
Well I just finished forging a 120 layer damascus katana complete with a hand crafted sheath. In case they don’t want to fall on their sword we could use it to cut their head off.
OK well that didn’t happen but I did watch Forged in Fire last night.
There have been other hurricanes and natural disasters since Trump has been in office.
I don’t remember this “tone” before. Did he cancel any trips right before other hurricanes aka storms, I wonder?
Love the verse you posted. Sounds almost like The Hobbit or LOTR:
Though the journey is long,
Though the mountains steep,
Though the enemies shrill laugh echoes in our ears.
We Fight.
We Fight, not because of victory’s assurance; but because we must do what is right.
We are awake, and cannot sleep again.
We are no longer sheep;
We are Lions.
Can people who were vaxed for c.pox get shingles? Apparently they can get c.pox, some of them. Vax isn’t 100% and may wear off as well.
I had pox as a kid (we all did in those days) and a couple of years ago got shingles. Finally went to doc after some days and got an antiviral that has been around for years, safe, but needs to be taken within 24-48 hours of symptoms, so useless for me. But I kept in case they pop up again.
I treated naturally and doc was surprised they resolved so quickly. Not fun, not nice, and I recommend if anyone gets shingles to get that antiviral as soon as symptoms appear. I can find the name of it if anyone wants. It’s cheap, too.
18 seconds on UToobz = morning scornful laugh. Even the camera man is cringing!
Seems like a safe bet, to me.

Dang! Good thing I still had it open so I could save it.
I figure Camp David must be several layers down in quality compared to his resorts. Yet, the security must be easier or better.
How many concrete domes are in your region? Seems like the only sensible construction in hurricane territory.
Dang it! When I read that I was going to ask why you aren't on Forged In Fire...

IMO FWIW:
1 - Trying to read and stick to a historically(his posterity) important pre-written, structured statement from black font/handwriting on white paper in unfavorable lighting conditions at podium height.
Bright sunlight coming over shoulder, note side edge of podium, surface is partially in shadow.
2 - Having problems transitioning from looking down at podium then looking up at crowd, then back to podium to find his spot again on the page (eye focus). Seems to be using his fingers to follow text.
He is squinting when he looks up, trying to focus his eyes transitioning back and forth from close to far to close in those conditions.

3 - Optics. He can't leave country while Dorian threatens and appear aloof like the MSM painted Bush during Katrina.
4 - Disruption of schedule, a lot on his mind. What disrupts mil planning? Weather/timing/Hand of God.
5 - Unfortunate placement of podium. Somebody slipped up.
Anyone know what the First Lady is doing this weekend?
I searched and couldn’t find any FLOTUS schedule. She hasn’t been in the news since the G7 meeting.
I wonder if she’s accompanying to Camp David, or going somewhere else.
She’s tweeting (@FLOTUS) about storm preparation for Dorian.
The worst is still to come for Jim Comey
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/459379-the-worst-is-still-to-come-for-jim-comey
At 6’8”, fired FBI director James Comey moves through life like a shark’s fin, well above the water level set by the rest of us. This brings attention, which he appears to enjoy, perhaps even crave. He has become a public performer over the past three years, cultivating a disarming “aw shucks, lordy, lordy” persona while covering his damaging actions with milky platitudes.
The Department of Justice Inspector General just fired the first of three cruise missiles trained on Mr. Comey with devastating impact. Comey’s reaction? “Feel free to apologize to me.”
Rushing into victimland is a common strategy for the cornered. Another is staking out an imagined noble duty to a contrived higher authority - one that looks strikingly similar to the image he sees in the mirror each morning.
But here in the real world, this is what the IG’s investigation has confirmed: James Comey, as FBI director, created and maintained a separate record system that he kept in a desk drawer. He then also took most of those official records home. If that wasn’t enough recklessness, he leaked some of those records to the press after he was fired.
To Comey, all of this is justified because some hero has to rise up and stand in the breach. But the IG methodically lists the numerous policies Comey violated, policies carefully designed over time to prevent the abuse of authority by those who self-craft a “higher loyalty” in their minds, thereby exempting themselves from the rules. Comey was no hero; he was nothing more than an executive vigilante.
Creating a separate record system in the FBI is a mortal sin, and with good reason. Every newly minted agent at Quantico learns this as part of FBI 101. Anytime an FBI agent, to include the director, collects information in an official capacity, that information must be documented, associated with a case file number and entered into the FBI’s case management system. Comey never did that. In fact, his now infamous memos weren’t entered into the official FBI system until after he was fired.
Having one system of record ensures that all information collected by the FBI is searchable, discoverable and transparently linked to the authorities that allow that collection. A separate, hidden record system gives rise to suspicions and disrupts the economy of trust that the FBI has worked hard to maintain with the American people.
Comey is quoted extensively in the IG’s report and appears nonchalant in his disregard for such rules. He asserts a theory of personal property over the memos he wrote that the IG easily swats aside in its shallow absurdity.
But his assertion of personal ownership of the memos documenting his encounters with President Trump does give off a whiff of self-interest that a future memoir was his true motivator. Less than a year after his firing - voila! - his book, “A Higher Loyalty,” was published.
Each of Comey’s violations - creating separate records, taking them home and leaking them to the press - are fireable offenses and, if he were still FBI director, that undoubtedly would be his fate. It’s almost too bad he can’t be fired again, just for emphasis.
Comey may try to deflect with celebratory comments that he wasn’t charged with mishandling classified information, but he remains in a precarious position - and the trend lines aren’t good.
Next up will be the IG’s findings regarding Comey’s truthfulness before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court and whether he attested to false or misleading statements in order to electronically monitor a presidential campaign.
That determination may not be as cut-and-dried as many think it is, but it hopefully, at a minimum, will explain why Comey believed he could sign off multiple times on a FISA application based largely on information that he, himself, described as “salacious and unverified.” His exposure here is potentially much more devastating than breaking FBI record retention and handling rules.
Close behind the IG’s second report will be findings by U.S. Attorney John Durham whether Comey and his rogue team of investigators violated FBI and departmental guidelines to initiate a counterintelligence investigation into a presidential campaign. They will determine if Comey had adequate justification for launching such an unprecedented investigation.
But beyond that, Mr. Durham and his team likely will follow up on emerging indicators that Comey may have colluded with other intelligence community leaders to actually “manufacture” the justification needed for an investigation by targeting covert informants against campaign representatives in violation of established policies and procedures.
In short, James Comey is not out of the woods after the first IG report, which has exposed him as someone who casually and carelessly disregarded established rules and regulations. It is not a stretch to imagine that this disregard carried over into other more serious areas of potential abuse of authority.
Comey is owed no apology by anyone. By his own publicity-seeking behaviors since crashing onto the scene in July 2016 he has verified his animus and political biases. Without any further findings he already has disgraced that noble office. He owes an apology to every FBI employee, past and present, who toiled to win the trust of the American people that he has so severely damaged.
Doros was the son of Hellen of Sparta (who was the daughter of Zeus and Leda). ...
Another possible origin of the name Dorian, is from the Greek "Dorios", meaning 'child of the sea' .
You probably think you are helping liberty and our country with your mindless attacks.
You probably think I care what you say
>>I’ve considered that Camp David has been used for some special purposes and Trump has rarely gone there. Very interesting!
Doesn’t he get more protection there from the people who are looking over his shoulder into his life? NJ might be more comfortable for him, but he’s still in a goldfish bowl. Finding you’ve been betrayed by the person who is always there and now will never be there has to take some adjustment. Even for him.
I checked Duck Duck Go and Start and the only thing they are saying is he has cancelled his trip to Poland...
I really think there is something else about this ‘Storm’ that we don’t yet know about besides the real weather ‘Storm’...
