Welcome DSS. I certainly look forward to hearing more from you.

And Olyve! So good to see you back even if it's just for a quick rant. We've missed you.

Wouldn't that be "NOG" - New old guy? I'm an OOG.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Thanks for the welcome back, guys. I'm not sure I am actually back but I look in from time to time. And I just felt like vomiting somewhere where you'd actually let me.
Thanks Mods for letting me say a "dirty" word (that is probably now part of our new norm!).

DSS, hi. You sound awesome. This forum needs a good woman (I got it right you are a woman?).

I am hurt, my friends are hurt. Even the ones that voted third party.
Every Tuesday we go to our neighborhood bar. We recently sold our house of nearly 30 years and now we live close to downtown and so we can walk. And we love to walk downtown (Athens, Ga.).
Our usual Tuesday night was painful.
We love our community. "We" voted 65/28 for Hillary. Crazy in a red state. I live in a wonderful blue bubble but that makes it especially painful.

To compound things, the wild fires are choking us. I can't breath!
Now they are saying about half of them are arson.

I would like to also say to the people who voted 3rd party (hahahah.....some of you who know me just ducked down), don't let folks harass you. Your vote is your opinion and that's as valuable as anybody else's.
Change the system.

My older daughter is organizing a trip to DC in January.
Jeez.
I might be too old to keep doing this!

Hey Olive - the pool of puke is just over there to the right....No the far right.

Just remember - when you look in, look out!


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Yeah well, it may be over there but it is splashed all over the rest of us.
What an unproud nation.
