    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    What ^he^ said. As for the "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan", that turned out to be wrong, but was it a deliberate lie? Of course you think so, but I disagree. I think it was Obama's intent, but it was the insurance companies actual decision, and he should...

    I don't do blogs

    Happy birthday, Cyn! I hope that you got to "taste the stars", just like the original Dom Perignon, when he first created champagne. :)

    Swing doors vs. Roll-up

    What I said was "if it becomes unsecured while open" - a rollup door would come down, possibly while someone was underneath. I don't know how often that actually happens, but I know if it happened even once, some companies would immediately create a policy to prevent it happening again...

    Border Patrol Drones - $12,255 An Hour

    Our country can afford to throw money away on anything that the Defense Dept wants, [or the representatives whose districts benefit], but there's not enough money for maintaining the roads, or a whole laundry list of priorities that get [literally] shortchanged - that's just nuts.

    Doing the Dishes

    You know what the dog thinks, huh? I think that the dog knows where his place in the family/pack is: on the bottom of the totem pole. Maybe he doesn't mind being stepped on, really, but I don't believe that's the point - the point is a parent's responsibility to teach their offspring to...

    If we can't venture an opinion on the photo without referring to the mother, that's because the mother is well known [publicity ***** in the interest of keeping those public speaking fees in the lucrative territory, in lieu of actual work, but I digress] and she posted the photo with her own...

    Swing doors vs. Roll-up

    During the time that it's open, if the door becomes unsecured, a swinging door could cause property damage, [itself and a truck parked beside it], but a roll up door could cause property damage to the freight, maybe the forklift going in/out, and injury to the person loading the truck, the...

    Phones Bluetooth

    This won't help with the microphone, but when some things are hard to see, [and the inside of a vehicle at night is a truly low light environment], if you can make it tactile, [like Braille], it helps. I had trouble locating the 'select this' bar on my laptop, [ever notice it's off center, for...

    January Locations & Witty Repartee

    I'm suddenly reminded of the time my youngest sister called and begged me to come over to her place to kill a bug. She swore it was the size of a Labrador, and she had it trapped under a laundry basket, and suggested I bring a shotgun, lol. When I got there, [no weapon but a flyswatter], it...

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    Pilgrim: this is what YOU don't get: anyone who says "I don't believe in evolution" is one who can deny fact in favor of their preferred fiction, and I would never vote for such a person to make critical decisions that affect my life.

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    Your response to the absolutely incompatible logic of Carson was interesting. First, describe the criticism as "liberal talking points", which implies something like advertising rhetoric: not meant to be taken seriously. Then, pretend the criticism was about his religious views, which it...

    Doing the Dishes

    If it mattered [to me], I'd know it, lol. It's accurate, and the replacement "intellectually and developmentally disabled" [I just looked it up] is an unwieldy mouthful. I'm not a fan of euphemisms - to me, a "sanitary engineer" is a trash collector, lol. You've been gone a long time - it's...

    Doing the Dishes

    I'm not getting your point - even if it weren't common knowledge that the child is mentally retarded, it's obvious from the photo. And Sarah described herself as clueless, so I wasn't being snarky about that. Both of my daughters would tell you that they would not have been allowed to use a...

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    If I were in Baltimore and needed emergency brain surgery, the doctor's religious and/or political views wouldn't enter into the decision, and Dr Carson's ridiculous attempt at pretending otherwise is pretty lame for a really smart man.

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    Pilgrim: I expect every candidate to have, and express, religious beliefs. I don't need to agree with them, to decide how I feel they'd perform as POTUS, because it isn't [or shouldn't be] part of the job. When a candidate says he believes people with scientific, empirical, fact based decision...

    The only thing politics has to do with my response is that I know who Sarah Palin is, but my response would have been the same if you'd posted the photo from Ellen's show [or any of those photos]: parents should teach their offspring to respect the animals they encounter, period. And yes, it is...

    Load One

    There is no reason to be ashamed of making a decent profit - it's what we're all working for, isn't it? There are reasons other than money to base a decision on, which no one mentioned, but they matter, too. The only reason to be ashamed is if one is cheating, or being deceptive, to increase...

    Doing the Dishes

    Three of my dogs were Labs, [1 Rottweiler & 1 Weimeraner too], and they loved all kinds of things that weren't in their best interests, lol. I think Asjssl is correct: we teach our kids that our pets are to be respected [party hats are ok, if the dog holds still for it] as living beings, not...

    Near Knoxville, heading south, and it has not. stopped. raining. for. 24. hours. And. four. states. Ok, it's not as bad as snow, but it's no fun, either. :(

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    Ben Carson believes we need politicians who are "trained in the scientific, empirical study of facts", but he says he "doesn't believe in evolution, because human beings are too complex - the ability to think and empathize didn't just happen". He is an amazing doctor, but a terrible scientist...
