We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

We were both miserable for about 36 hours.

11-22-63 by myself and The Hail Mary Project with my wife.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.

A while back a woman died after eating at a Disney restaurant and being assured that the food she was ordering was allergen free. Disney responded very poorly to the husband’s suit, but I wonder if the Disney employee believed things were allergen free because of one of these hacked menus.

That’s really a valid point.

Boredom after some period of time, you will have some everything there is to do.

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I’m grateful that you got a good one also.

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.

When you call the cops you’re calling people who can kill you with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so. Just say no to calling the cops.

My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

Does any anyone know the actual accusations? There’s no meat here just the allegation. How was his DD-214 altered? What service did he ascribe to himself? What awards. As the husband of a Soldier, these things are important.

Edit to add: they really need to update their stock photo, the Army hasn’t worn that uniform in years.

If there had been an earlier interdiction, I’m reasonably certain the Nazi’s Final Solution would not have come to fruition. Or been stopped far earlier than D-Day. I’m pretty sure Senator Graham’s argument is exactly that.

I don’t think so. My father was in the RAF during the war. Bombed by the Germans and shot at by the Japanese. He is also the reason I’m a pacifist.

His brother-in-law was part of the BEF, that was rescued at Dunkirk.

Neither of them were particularly chatty about the war.

I think that for those that faced the horror of the war, almost all of them would have preferred not to have to endure that brutality. If an earlier intervention with Hitler could have prevented D-Day, I think most veterans of that conflict would be all for it.

I can’t stand President Biden. I wouldn’t vote for him if he were the last candidate on earth. But, really? This man is the President, and you couldn’t do him the courtesy of sitting quietly and listening to what he has to say?

That behavior is beyond my comprehension.

Did you let them know you use Arch?

Always easy to tell when people are commenting in bad faith.

For everyone. I give no fucks who you are, live your life as you see fit.

Seems like maybe you missed the press about the Biden laptop being Russian disinformation, or the President himself calling it that during the debate?

The fact that the NY Post’s Twitter account was suspended, and Twitter did not allow the link to the article shared on the platform even via DMs. While FB deamplified the news may have had an effect on the election. So obviously some left leaning individuals cared about it very much and wanted the news about it shut down prior to the election.

I believe in Liberty above all else. I also believe you cannot be moral and a politician, and that voting is an immoral act.

I sympathize with your view, but cannot buy in to it

Did I miss the left not falling for Hunter Biden’s laptop was not genuine? Or maybe the Steele dossier? Or maybe cloth masks will protect us from Covid?
