That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
Well, the list of main enumerations:
How COVID 19 will change aging and retirement
1. More will age at home
2. Older people will benefit from a technology boom
3. Lifespans will decline
4. We will have a better handle on what we want to do with our …
My husband and I actually have an appt Saturday for our first shot, second toward the end of Feb. However, both of us are in the vulnerable category and I requested my doctor get me on the list early. Now, we will see if they still have vaccine Satu…
I used to buy one ticket when the jackpot got big just for the fun of it. I quit after my husband started buying them for me. He just couldn't buy just one but would purchase 5 or 10. Somehow it wasn't fun anymore for me.
My BIL called this morning and said he just received his 2nd stimulus but it was not direct deposit or a check. It was a debit type card. He doesn't know why but was calling around warning people that if they receive the same, don't throw it away. O…
That is why we have history class in high school.
Variations on the repeating-history theme appear alongside debates about attribution:
Irish statesman Edmund Burke is often misquoted as having said, “Those who don’t know history are destined to…
I can see people who can't read relying on Fox news hosts to read to them but you don't need to read to recognize the absolutely absurd, or do you? For example, a US wide conspiracy of local, state and federal courts to make sure the vote count in s…
@Baseball_Fan I know what to say: The police in the nation may, rightfully or not, have their twit in a twaddle but if that means they don't have to do their taxpayer paid jobs, then they should take their twit to the twaddle hole instead of putting…
If you get the deposit on the 1st of January, 2021, is the income it ultimately is tested against income in 2021? My tax program claimed more of the 1st deposit by applying the income test to 2020 where RMDs were waived. 2019 income was originally u…
@rono I was impatient but I knew you wouldn't let us down. I look forward for your Christmas singing reindeer and Santa Claus. Merry Christmas to you and yours and I hope the new year marks the beginning of your best year or one of your best years.
I feel kinda left out on this. How come they didn't challenge CA too?
Maybe you are next. Maybe it will take place in a non-ending wave, 36+ electoral votes at a time.
Maybe granting preemptive pardons is good news. Maybe he's running out of imagined current indignities to whine about and is inventing future unknown indignities to whine about. He cannot help himself. He needs lovers and haters so the indignities w…
I have three excel workbooks. One is a weekly picture of my investment shares and current value. This one also keeps a weekly picture of my bank and credit account balances. A second simply records my yearly income sources and amount, RMDs, estimate…
But hey, don't ruin the fun. We can still put on our six shooters, pickup truck flag our way to the party in DC, and complain about all the things that just aint (maybe even the war on Christmas). Don't be such a pooper.
And speaking of ICUs, when conspiracies meet ICUs:

Hospital administrator Kyle Hansen told the Provo City Council this week that about fiv…
This is a good example of diversion. See how an issue about which most people agree becomes a political issue with political ideological arguments almost unrelated to the fact that most Americans agree that we need to lower drug prices. Talking abou…
And, to the little guy, the US subsidizes the negotiated prices of other developed countries as well as the free or discounted prices necessary for the poorest of Americans. Little perceived indignities like this may contribute to the overall anger …
Well, I, for one, am hopeful at the prospect of visiting, as in sitting inside, Dairy Queen for a blizzard. I wish Pfizer all the luck in completing the test phases successfully. I congratulate the scientists, medical professionals and engineers at …
When a country finds its purpose to be crawling up and down the vaginas of women and not advancing the state of its people, it is not a state at all but a banana Taliban.
Probably Wray since the public doesn't have a strong opinion about him.
Barr is interesting but who, with the exception of Giuliani would be more blindly loyal?
Eventually Fauci if he doesn't retire after his transfer to a impotent position.
