Burying one’s head in the ground is a terrible response. If everyone were to do that, nothing will ever get better. We need to be aware of the things we can change and work towards that goal.

Also, living longer is not always better. Go visit a memory care facility or a person who has been brought back from the brink of death only to prolong his suffering.

Yep. She believes it all.

You’re right, follow the money. My homeowner’s rate doubled this year, but at least my insurance co. didn’t pull out of my state. They know we are seeing climate change.

Wait, the lyrics of a song with a title that literally translates to “Oh, Christmas tree” originally had absolutely nothing to do with trees?? I’d ask how she wraps her mind around that dichotomy, but I know people who believe in conspiracies do not need proof nor logic to believe.

Good luck. I’ll be entertaining my Trumpster QMIL, so I’ll be fighting along with you to control myself.

Let’s see if we can find any differences. Which party supports gun laws? Which party supports women’s rights to bodily autonomy? Which party supports mail in ballots? Which party believes that there was an attempted insurrection on Jan 6, 2021? Which party does not tout the ‘stollen’ election lie? Which party knows ‘stollen’ is not how you spell stolen? (Just a little joke to break up the wall of text.

Now for a few other points which may help you see if they’re both the same…

Which party refuses to even discuss putting any limits on gun rights? Which party believes a single cell nonviable organism trump’s a woman’s right to bodily autonomy? Which party thinks mail in ballots are an absolute no-go? Which party believes what happened on Jan 6 was a “peaceful protest”? Which party tells its constituents that the 2020 election was stolen?

And last, but most importantly of all, which party has closed ranks around a past president who tried to overthrow the counting of the electoral counts, who has been caught on several audio recordings pressuring state officials to throw out their electoral votes?

Maybe it’s just me, but I see a BIG difference.

My car’s engine requires it. It is a turbocharged engine. Gets great gas mileage and runs great!

I wouldn’t have any questions, just immediate concern.

I’d start looking for the nearest mental health facility and check myself in due to having visual and auditory hallucinations.

There is no devil.

Are you on any meds? I was once taking a medication (an NSAID) that caused excessive sweating, and it took me longer than I’d like to admit that my new med and my sweaty head were related.

My momma used to say that if you can smell yourself, other people have been smelling you for days.

Don’t know what your issues are, but I have aquagenic urticaria. There are waterless, alcohol based ‘soaps’ that I rely on heavily.

How about bone broth?

The bats would miss them.

Any change to the biodiversity on our planet will have a negative effect. What is a pest to you is food for another species, or a pollinator, or any of dozens of valuable purposes.

I don’t remember learning much about the Battle of the Bulge in school, except for the fact that it happened.

My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and he is who I learned all about it.

I was once standing with my family in our breakfast nook, and a large ball of blue light floated in through the closed kitchen window. It was about the size of a basketball, very bright, kinda sparkly, and it was some sort of electricity, because it made all our hair stand straight up.

It just hovered in the middle of the kitchen for a minute, while my family and I stood there with our mouths hanging open, then it slowly dissipated. We all looked at each other in disbelief, then continued setting the table like nothing had happened.

I’m still not sure what it was. I call it ball lightning, but I really don’t know. It was a beautiful sunny day, not stormy at all.

This is a surprisingly good breakfast. I add a little dab of butter and a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar.

Well, I’m 70, and my childhood was spent in a French speaking area of Louisiana, and Louisiana isn’t known for being very forward thinking. It’s possible my experience was limited to my location. 😜

Not sure it was a quirk. More likely a carefully thought out practice to insure the hold Catholicism had on people. Priests spoke and read Latin while most laypeople did not. Having to address demons in Latin ensured that the average person needed the priest to help them out, for a fee/donation of course.

I was a very poor excuse of a Catholic when I was a kid. But I still remember Latin being spoken in Mass, and I remember the priest discouraging his congregation from reading the bible for themselves, cuz no way would we understand it without his expertise to explain it to us.

Religion is some weird crap, man.

And do the scriptures imply demons speak Latin? Because that, specifically, is the part Catholicism made up.

Was it a sudden distension? I think you need to go to Dr.
