More than twenty years ago, a couple approached us with an offer for us to get in on the ground floor of an investment company that practically promised financial independence within five to ten years if truly dedicated (translated to “dump all your money with us, we’ll do the rest) to the prospectus. This couple was already planning to leave their jobs, invest their savings in this thing and become full-time evangelists for the company. It seemed like a Ponzi scheme to us, so we declined. A few years later, the company was featured on a news program as part of a nationwide scandal that had wiped out the savings of hundreds of people. The owners (not the couple who had known us) had skipped the country and Interpol warrants were out for their arrests. We certainly dodged that bullet!

Approx 5,000 registered voters of whom just over 3700 voted but over 22,000 votes were recorded.Bidens lead is now approx 4,200. One more "glitch" and his lead is likely gone. Trump win. How can people say we do not need to audit every state that used these computers?Update: According to AZ SEc StsteSo the difference is approx 10,000. Again these computers need to be audited. This is just more proof of the need. Accidentally uploading the votes over and over should not be possible. less

Someone who likely knew the former number owner texted them today and, instead of the phone displaying a phone number, it displayed a name, as if that name/ number had been saved into the phone's contacts... but it had not. How could the phone have gotten a name to associate with the contact? Is that a new thing? Or some kind of technical glitch?

What if the giftee would rather have selected the car for himself or herself? And GMC even has a commercial where the husband surprises his wife with TWO new trucks, one for each of them. Unless they're filthy rich, who can or would do this?

Sure, in retrospect I can now see that I was way too young and definitely too immature to handle married life. At the time, I thought I knew everything.One of the most glaring and truly positive things that marriage has meant in my life is that had I not settled down, I probably would have been dead from AIDS or some other STD by now. I was drilling anything in a skirt, as the saying goes, a true hit-and-run artist. I couldn’t have kept track with notches on the bedpost, because it would have been reduced to sawdust. Being faithful in marriage was already ingrained in me as a principle, so when I said, “I do” to her, it also meant “I don’t” to all others.~ less
