Finally ...should have been capped at the knees during her boyfriend trial.

Well, you of all people can remember that far back. I can't remember what I did Tuesday.

Daris, is the ‘ Old ‘ joke getting old ?

Hey ! All the good thoughts come as I’m getting ready to work.

If Mother Nature does what ever she wants and we are a form of that nature, I guess that extends to us too ….. So !
( buttons ) what should ! I mean could that mean ? ….. It may mean that we could put our energy into responding to climate and humanistic challenges rather than banging our heads against a wall trying to change anyone or anything. And that brings us back to the most important word ever. Does anyone know what that word is ?

Ok ! Let’s do a real world example. Four days ago I ran into the apartment painter.
Real nice guy and by all accounts, a good working relationship. Anywho, I mentioned that I was channeling out the perimeter of carpet in unit 212, because it’s a 1/4” thicker than the new carpet and please paint closer to the bottom of baseboard than usual. By all accounts, he understood and seemed very compliant, even though I did not insist on hearing him say “ Yes “….. after all I’m not his boss or God almighty …… Well ! I show up today, ready to go and this is what I see ! …. That section is the worst, but he clearly decided to do ‘ His Will ‘ over my request ……. Stay tuned for the conclusion ‘ Of How The World Gets Floored ‘

Thanks for sharing that havasu
They had all kinds of Margarine commercials back then. Fabio’s line was
“ I can’t believe it’s not butter, in
a spray “

Honestly, I would never have guessed that one. ...I would however, still be guessing.

Interesting. Not often Jim is this serious.

A Happy New Year would be addressing this.

Thanks Rusty for being you, as it was neglectful and sloppy for her to be so frustratingly human on purpose. How dare she ? ? or shall I say, how dare we ? ?

Does that assessment sound Accurate ? Or maybe it’s perhaps left over frustration from Kamala and now Rusty ( Both Judged and Judger, playing with each other ) competing against each other to prove Patriotism by attacking the content of the competitors character ? ….. I don’t blame you,
( everyone) because we like taking the bait, then we decide to fight fire with fire. Hey ! It’s a strategy that works in nature, so why not ? …..

Well ! what about that word ‘ United ‘ ?
or does “ To The Flag “ symbolize something else ? ….. I’m not expecting anyone to contemplate and give an answer, but consider this, if you want ?
Do we worship fire more than the Dove ? Do we want lessons learned to burn baby burn ? ….. Or could we discern, it’s time to Unite ……Not by judging others but by holding ourselves to a higher standard that serves all ! !
United is not without controversy, but perhaps it need not be with Fire

You don't think that a public official should know the pledge? Sad.

I agree ! Yes ! They should or could be held to a higher standard….. All I’m saying ( Abstractly) is when we decide to judge someone, maybe we could be held to a higher standard too

Is it wrong for me to think she is a despicable person since she was promoted by how many she slept with rather than the brain God gave her?

How many she ! Or how many he ! Slept with is the personal business of the sleepers and GOD …. Also have we ever considered that some humans have a bigger Libido than others ? Just because they work and sometimes play with the people around them isn’t fact that She or His career path was improved. But ! I understand the human temptation to make causes have effects.

When we live in the space
of right and wrong, we limit ourselves to live in different expressions of life. ( isn’t that word in our constitution ) But I understand the temptation in order to feel like there is order in our world…... So no, I don’t believe it’s wrong to judge her as a despicable person, but I do believe IMHO
that it’s not wise to limit ourselves rigidly.
Especially since our founding fathers asked of us to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States ( not divided ) But please forgive me for also applying a form of ‘ Right and Wrong’ logic to make this point.

A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore & 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported & produced by hydrocarbons. A windmill could spin UNTIL IT FALLS APART & NEVER generate as much energy as was invested in building it.
