There’s more cooperation between the Athletes’ Club and the Rubdowners Massage Squad than any others, but that’s normal for such like-minded units. I tell you, I’ve tried my best to cut down on the compartmentalization, it’s just not easy to do when there are so many specialty positions that they each provide to me. Sigh.) less

For instance, I’m trying to watch program right now that has gloriously blasting background music, it sounds great for distinguishing exactly which instruments are being played, how much pocket change each musician has on his or her person, and the combined weight of their incisors, but it completely obscured what’s being said by the performers. I’ve flipped channels and found the same thing on at least half of them. Grrrrrrrr. less

I bought this car in 2003 for $1800. Kelley blue book says it’s still worth about $1800. A lady crashed into me recently and totaled my car. Her insurance company paid me $6600 for the car. I scoured the Internet and I cannot find that value for this car anywhere.
Of course I am pleased, but did I get over on the insurance company?

Some people “just don’t get” English grammar. To me, however, it comes quite easily. Conversely, I’m only functionally efficient in the basics of mathematics, the deeper intricacies* of it escape me, I “just don’t get” them. Is the comparison of the disciplines and how they manifest themselves in me and in others some type of allegory or symbolization?*AlgebraAdvanced Geometry CalculusTrigonometryEtc.

Certainly, these soldiers are amongst the National Guard supposedly PROTECTING Biden this Wednesday. Is that gonna pose a problem? Aren't just short of HALF those soldiers the same as the rioters??? excon

Give me Johnny Nash's original -- he wrote the song, too. I admit I'm completely biased for Nash -- that man's voice sends me, no matter what he sings.

When Antifa thugs spent over a hundred days laying siege to a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregan, Democrats called the federal law enforcement officials defending the courthouse stormtroopers. When the Capital Police asked for help from the National Guard because they were afraid that they would not be able to handle the number of protestors that were coming and their were reports of groups organizing to attack the Capital, those requests were denied because the politician feared the optics of having military troops in the streets. Now that the government is going to be entirely in the hands of the Democrats, they have no problem with National Guardsmen being stationed around the city with authorization to use lethal force to prevent riots.Don't get me wrong here. I have consistently condemned all violence regardless of who it is that commits it. I have ... less

My answer: yes. Posting this question made me realize that I cannot remember having taken even one alcoholic drink in 2020, nor do I remember the last time I had one before that. It could have been five or ten years as best I recall. ~
