    U.S. Army recruiting goal short nearly 20,000 soldiers. Other branches down too.

    i see no reason for a tombstone, nor do i wish my family to have to spend the money for it. the paternal side of my family goes back to the 1600's, plenty of tombstones in mass. , and the maternal side goes back to the 1800's, plenty here in the midwest for them. i have no legacy, and those who...

    Halloween Candy: which to eat first? The worst first? The best first? Random?

    you know what? human children under the age of 3 are a great deal like cats under 6 months old. headstrong, curious and scary smart with how fast they learn. and especially how fast they learn to manipulate an adult human, lol! we didn't have our own kids, and i AM glad we didn't. but the reason...

    that's why my sister is the family historian on both sides, and her youngest daughter is next in line for that job.

    yup, us too on the donation thing. my baby sister had a cadaver ligament installed yesterday, in her knee, and because of that donor, she'll walk again, and without pain. in my case, the rest goes to science to see if they can figure out why i never had any of the genetic nasties show up in me...

    The best way to Administer CitizenVoice - Topic Drift, Disputes, and

    lol, as much as i love curtis, him retiring did mean a little too much togetherness at first. we've always lived on different schedules due to our various jobs, and our temperaments. days off at the same time didn't happen that often, and we usually spent those visiting his parents. now...

    bets vs polls

    sear, i think you're occasionally too smart for your own good, and it blinds you to reality. there will NEVER be a poll that represents the entirety of our country's citizens. and insurance stats, well, that's apples and oranges.

    The best way to Administer CitizenVoice - Topic Drift, Disputes, and

    it's strange to someone who isn't me that my libra self has a scale that actually balances now, when it comes to getting out and about. for may years i worked with the public, and was also a social butterfly in general. as i got older, i wasn't inclined to be that woman anymore, and kind of...

    The best way to Administer CitizenVoice - Topic Drift, Disputes, and

    yup. what truly jolted my life was realizing that i DIDN'T HAVE to take care of everyone i came into contact with, like i had for so long. i could JUST give them advice with the occasional helping hand instead of having this need to guide them through their lives, and that was such a relief...

    bets vs polls

    but there's the rub, with polls. they DON'T represent the entirety , they represent only the chosen slant for that poll. bookies are rarely politically motivated, and they actually do a lot of research before they set odds. and they DON'T commit to wishful thinking, which virtually every poll...

    Russia is a neofascist (and nazi) state

    more like ripley from alien, lol! after yeltsen retired, putin became acting president, since he was the prime minister, and then was duly elected 4 months later.

    Russia is a neofascist (and nazi) state

    if the rumors on the underground circuit are true, putin may not last until this time next year. pancreatic cancer hits fast and furious, and that's the predominant rumor.

    Russia is a neofascist (and nazi) state

    i get comments both good and bad because it IS rare for me to follow those paths, the well worn ones. and even when i do, it's only partway, and then i strike out on a new pathway...occasionally with a torch and a machete, according to some, lol!

    The lowdown on the ~$1 $Billion Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation jury award - where does free speech end, & criminal liability begin?

    you have every right to disagree, i would never fault you for that. and with any luck, THIS case will lead to more of them, so that people like MTG do pay for their words. maybe some of this stuff will stop if people see that their words DO have to be paid for when they harm/ruin lives.

    The lowdown on the ~$1 $Billion Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation jury award - where does free speech end, & criminal liability begin?

    a lot of the monetary stuff will depend on the state statutes where the hearings are held. example-texas caps this type of award at $750K, i think, but if punitive damages are also awarded, that changes things. it's very confusing, i'm still researching the obscure laws involved.
