The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. Next is going to be on Swedish death cleaning.

Old people vote - a lot. I think doing away with those would end up with that party being out of office next election cycle.

My daily rant. So I am trying to get closed on this house, and it has been a pain in my butt. Yes the advantage is over 50% equity, but family...

I think you are wrong. You are the one who does not often face or read about reality. What I hope happens, however, is that I cannot say I told you...

I have facebook, but rarely go on it at all. I hope to soon, but only to try to sell some stuff on Marketplace. That's about it for me. People I...

I am unable to give up some forums. If you can tell me how, please do.

I love putting up our Christmas tree. Honestly, the lights have helped my mental well-being many a winter. One particularly difficult year it was up...

I gave up social media for Lent once. It was OK, but I really had no intention to give it up for good! There are a lot of annoying and even addictive...

I think a year from now you’ll see what you want to see whether reality or not.

I'd jump on that caravan if they would let me. I just hope a year from now... I can't say I told you so.

Look how it has done under Biden. /snark

I see five protesters got arrested in Seattle. Don’t know if it was election related or just another Tuesday. Didn’t see any tanks in my street this...

Fox News is showing social media posts from Hollywood types who go off railing at Americans and America, and then delete their posts. In some cases...

Remarkably similar to last night’s MSNBC coverage.

Yes. 95 regulations repealed the last time. Let's see he can outdo himself and make our story the story of The Lorax.

Yup. Money "trumps" everything.

And I really hate how the stock markets have reacted today to this Trump victory. /sarcasm

Yeah, protect women if the want it or not! Shows how the country will be run.

Here is my brain dump analysis of how Trump managed to defy expectations and get himself elected again. The slow, impossible start for Biden and...

“Neither old man should have run.” yes, agreed.

OMG.. .that as unbelievable deja vu!!! So funny!!! The more things change, the more they stay the same. And, yes, thank you for the nod to Vermont....

Early on jd vance called trump “America’s Hitler”. How do you explain that? Dread the constant chaos trump spews. It was a relief to have him gone!

I think a lot of people voted against Biden/Harris instead of for Harris or for Trump. Biden was always extremely unpopular. This isn’t just about...

One can point fingers at the dems, but Harris really wasn't all that bad. Trump is a chronic liar, a criminal, a bully, a climate denier, most...

So, maybe prices are gonna increase?
