I Received One Of These For Christmas, Too, Back In The Late ‘70s. It Was A “Snug Sack.” I Still

You have so many wonderful posts, and many others and I enjoy them. Likewise, I enjoy what you have to say, as I’m old, this world is going to the kids gradually, and I want them to change it for the better; it’s the only planet we’ve got. Please speak out as frequently as you would like!

Always ask yourself WHY someone tries to convince you not to vote or that your vote “doesn’t count”. What does anybody gain by not voting? What have you done for the world by not voting?

The people sitting in puddles of negativity saying DO NOT EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS are free to sit in their puddles. But who gains by being dragged into their dark puddle?

Why so you people care if we vote? Why do you need to convince others to “give up”? What is YOUR big plan to fix this? How does negative apathy change the dystopia you love to moan about? Yes, you are so much smarter and cooler and harder and edgier than the rest of us for folding your arms and refusing to participate. Good for you. Live your lives inside a dark, hopeless cloud if you like but please stop trying to keep others from enjoying the sunshine of positive action💗

By the same reasoning of trump, you could say:

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because Trump was born?”

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because 62 million Americans thought having a debt-ridden, fake game show narcissist as the leader of their country would be a grand idea?”

“Isn‘t it a shame, all those people are dead all because our President was a ‘useful idiot’ to the dictator of Russia.”

Bonus: Cawthorn embarrasses himself again - no word about his underwear choices.

Donald Trump, Malignant Narcissist, Blames Ukrainian Casualties on “Rigged” U.S. Election — Vanity Fair

He apparently thinks that baseless claim will be of comfort to the grieving families and friends of “all those people [who] are dead.”

Damn that fraud Reagan and all those other governors and legislators who closed down those nice, safe mental hospitals where these people could get the help they so desperately and obviously need! There’s no measurement of a national I.Q., but it doesn’t take a genius to see that these people are bring down our human development index.

The Qult has their hands full today deqoding qomms about the superbowl…

This thing is a land yacht! When I lived in South Florida, the IT director was from Noo Yawk, with that kind of accent and he had a ‘72 Buick in a darker green. He ruled his kingdom with fear; after being hired, he’d keep an eye on what you were doing, and a misstep resulted in a visit from him, in a not-so-good mood. Being the kind of guy he was, he might still have that Buick.

Happy New Year to you!! 🎉🌹🐇🎈🍹

Where I am from New Years means one thing only, for better or worse. And because it falls on a Sunday the parade won’t happen til tomorrow. So it doesn’t really feel like New Years at all, in a way. In any case, I raise my (imaginary) glass of the driest champagne I can find (I have drunk far too much lovely wine in the last week - we went on a dreamy little vacation after Xmas and I need to dry out for a while) and wish you all THE HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS!😺💗🌼🌸🌺

This is my new housemate, Copper. He’s a 4-year old Netherland lop now in his 3rd home (and hopefully last), loves to be petted and is enjoying some new culinary delights that he hasn’t had before. I’m trying to get him to eat hay; that’s coming along slowly, but he appears to like timothy hay more than oat hay (it’s weird that he doesn’t like it much, but I suspect he wasn’t given much of it at his previous homes, plus he likes all the tasty foods that he’s been given). In this picture, he’s ecstatic about just being petted and is in his position to get some more of that good rubbin’. He’s a good boy! A very good boy!

I got the bedrest pillow E also, for when I went off to college in 1970. It was the goldenrod color. It was with me for years until I gave it up to move in the late 1990s. Still wish I had it, though - it was handy.

My parents had E in a navy blue. They were a whole thing in the 70s. She changed them out to dusty lilac sateen ones in 1983 and I got hers. It stayed with me til college.

Why hasn’t Pence been arrested? He heard the plot, which was illegal, asked various people about it, including a judge who told him it was illegal, but didn’t report it to the FBI or police, letting the attempted insurrection play out. In the end, he was sitting on knowledge of a plot and whichever way the outcome would go, he’d look good. He’s a devious little creep who deserves jail for his silence.

I was really into the 1972 Olympics - watched them in between college classes, cheered on my favorites and enjoyed it all … until these savages murdered the 11 Israelis. Then Harriman said that the games would go on. Politics had invaded the Olympics. I was turned off of the spectacle after that - saw some of the 1976 Olympics, but haven’t watched them since. Politics had taken over the games, as seen in 1980 and 1984, and they haven’t been the same since 1972.

The Munich massacre was a terrorist attack carried out during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, by eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September. The militants infiltrated the Olympic Village, killed two members of the Israeli Olympic team, and took nine others hostage, who were later killed after a failed rescue attempt.
