Somebody start a new PM, and this time... no wussing out! Zen, I nominate you.

The lawyer in me says... If you intend to "take care" of each other upon death, you should get your estate-planning affairs in order, especially since you will not be married.

Makes sense. Nothing wrong with that. You don't need the government's blessing to be in love.

You mean like whether Obama was born in the US? Whether Hillary was aware of the intent of the Benghazi protesters? I don't recall tons of agreement on the facts.

Wow! What a story!

Haha! Well, you can't have forgotten how rancorous it was in BS. Same old shite; only the names have changed. You got old!

I'm not too interested in finding new internet friends. A few posts here and there are enough for me. But I really don't want to engage in the open forum. They've asked us to take it PM's, and I respect that.

You never resigned from BS because someone starting talking about something that was "not your thing."

Coincidentally, I am working on an estate where a man in his 40's died from anaphylaxis from bee stings, leaving behind a wife and 3 minor children. I think it was too late by the time they made it to the hospital. Bee careful!

And you left the thread, too. There were days past when you 2 had a little more stomach, but I guess we all get old and tired after a while...

So, when's the big day?

Too bad you left our PM thread. I have noticed you don't seem to play your hand on policy much. I was wondering whether there is any policy difference between the 2 which you feel makes a real difference. e.g., trade with China, border control, etc. We all seem to gravitate toward arguing politics in terms of who is the worst, but little is said about actual policies. Don't do that here, though. Re-join the PM if you want to say.

Speaking of China, we've gone from Russia gate to China gate. Clearly, elections matter.

They're coming after us. Cloak your grid-based activities. Buy gold!

I know nothing of Bob Lazar and very little of Joe Rogan. I watched about 25 minutes of the video. What a waste.

It certainly would have helped.

Is that a question.

Welcome to the Banana Republic! Just so we're clear, I am not taking sides in any of that crud. It is what it is, and people will believe what they want to believe. What I am referring to is that confidence in democracy is probably at an all-time low in the U.S. That's not a good thing.

It is. I was trying to go back to watch the Mormon episode, but now everything is for pay.

Yes, it's getting crazy. This epidemic will go down in history as the Great Economic Consolidation.

I've seen a few episodes long ago. They have some great stuff mixed in with mindless idiocy. I was looking for an older episode and saw they are only showing recent seasons for free. The Covid video has some clever humor in it, but it's way more crude than the older episodes seemed to be. It's just a little too much for me, if that's a reflection of all recent episodes (I didn't even know they were still making new ones).

A blast from the past! Good to hear from you! I had no idea of all the stuff you went through, but I am glad you are doing alright. Welcome back!

I always wanted a $4,500 stove. I look at those big, fat, round knobs, and ohhhhhh.... "I want one!" I just know my eggs will scramble better with one of those. I'm honestly a little disappointed in my $6,000 refrigerator. For some reason, water still freezes at 32 degrees.

Those mp4's aren't working in my Chrome browser.
