  1. country living Brother, just drive towards little road to get the full experience
  2. aware of this guy's case from the get go, as it has developed(devolved) i am more sickened. he was afforded no due-process, was given protected(legal) status, with zero proof to date of gang affiliation, and you have these two peckerwoods shrugging their shoulders. SCOTUS has said get him back to get due process and same....reporter asked trump in that same setting about SCOTUS order and he replies thats why CNN has such low ratings. at that point office or job be damned, id of been, verbally, up one side of him and down the other until they carried my ass out.
  3. first thought i had was cool, but Jurassic Park? perhaps more important issues like Diabetes, Cancer, or even figuring out how telomeres function might be better ideas
  4. Had to expand her portfolio beyond TSNTZ..... but seriously, easy gesture to make when you know the fix is in, and when the upswing will happen
  5. no expert by any means but before a closed out for fun money, my portfolio was largely made up of inome stocks, and the dividends were fed back in to buy more of them, i did sprinkle some "penny stocks" in just for the off chance they were the next AMZN. i do watch my retirement account, and up till now enjoyed about an average 11% rate of return. this recent tariff issue has only cost me 7k in the first quarter( only being a relative term of course). i try to pick up silver every so often, it too is finite though not as much as gold obviously but more affordable. its funny because almost 15 years ago, i was offered chance to pick up "bulk" purchase for almost nothing over spot, was told by wife NO as it was foolish to spend it....would have almost triple initial investment by today
  6. kind of hard to dispute that, given hes done this multiple times: slam the tariffs, wait a bit for market to drop then pause them 90 days and BINGO, market goes back up...worse, this time around he puts out "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” 7 minutes after opening bell but im guessing he and select few of his ilk had ample time to put in their orders.... thing is, im not completely against applying tariffs appropriately: yes canada has high tariffs on american goods, but only AFTER certain quotas are met. before that most goods are low tariff or even duty free, its a way to help protect their domestic industries. and in cases of countries such as china, where much of their industry is subsidized, theres no way to compete; along with their penchant for sweatshop labor, almost ZERO regard for environmental damage, as well as continuous IP theft, they should be held accountable....DJT seems to not know difference between scalpel and chainsaw unfortunately as Tariffs were a way for US to raise revenue before some assht had the idea of taxing our incomes...we wouldnt feel the pinch so bad if he/congress would repeal Fed income tax BEFORE engaging in this tariff business, that is IF it were actaully about the Nation and Not market manipulation
  7. report to the labor board for sure, sounds like a cut/dry retaliation perhaps even discrimination aside from that, you better have my stuff clean and ready when i call for it @Matthew
  8. so is there a bag limit, or just what fits in the bin? id just make sure all trash was in bin leaving lid open as long as closed bin was not specified,
  9. i think theyve spread themselves too thin between the three other establishments they own.
  10. normally with my investment, i dont sweat the drops as they are great times to buy in cheap, in this instance though, i cannot help but think the tariffs are a way of manipulating the markets to suit a select few rather than the "organic" ups and downs
  11. Ruby Tuesdays ( love their croutons!) three of us, nothing fancy and it was an 80 dollar bill sans tip! roadhouse can be pricey, but weve never had a bad feed there, outback was a one and done a long time ago, we actually really like going to DQ for their burgers and tenders and its priced well.
  12. cannot help but think someone is making out quite well on the tariff rollercoaster guess we will see if he reverses course in coming days
  13. i guess private practice can do "as they please" but i think bulk of healthcare is provided through hospital systems, so unlikely it will be limited impact
  14. ive pretty much settled into the things i had or really wanted as a kid...problem is, as Chris noted, the packaging being almost 50 years old gets pretty pricey. then there is either buying complete or attempting to hunt down pieces. limiting collection to items i had, is more difficult than i thought
  15. got all those people back in a concentrated area, makes extermination much easier
  16. last i knew it was large % if not total of the County property tax as well as half or so of the sales tax goes to cover unfunded mandates. at some point, county needs to tell State to kick rocks, stop covering them...really whats going to happen? State pulls funding from elsewhere? fine, then shift the money from the mandates to cover the shortfall
  17. i guess im waiting to see when they stop doing business with contractors that charge Fed 600 for a hammer or some other obviously inflated price, or the multiple failed financial audits of the Pentagon where billions of dollars cannot be accounted for, along with the upcoming budget being stripped of the billions in pork spending that normally gets crammed in...perhaps Y+THEN most of us will view DOGE as a serious effort
  18. and all the while, his sheep keep repeating that Canada has 200 to 500 percent tariffs on our goods....except its only a half truth. most imports are either duty free or minimally taxed until they hit a quota. only then do the high tariffs kick in. those quotas ensure that their own farmers/producers are not priced out of their markets while still allowing for imports
  19. was already less inclined to venture long amongst the general public than most before covid. main driver of my distaste is the relative "fuckyou, me-first" attitude that exists. Common decency like "excuse me" or "No, no after you" while holding a door has all but disappeared from society. and frankly, im a firm believer that karma is slower than cold molasses; so subjecting myself to assinine or downright dangerous behavior because someone is so self centered as to not give up 2 seconds for sake of another all the while calling out "find a tree asshole" to those speeding through middle of town, or renaming every other driver at a traffic circle or four-way stop sign either Tw@t or dip-shit is becoming less than ideal
  20. i would argue that NEITHER party has made good to the People, despite both having ample opportunities at majority I guess its difficult to follow that sound advice, particularly when the individual currently holding the office cannot
  21. and now add forbidding UK to share American intelligence with Ukraine and talk of easing sanctions on russia....fucker has got to go folks
  22. so the cyber security thing, Trump seems to be parroting many talking points ( some verbatim) that putin has spouted, plus trump is not denying that meeting was a set up, and it was learned today that there was a Russian State-media person IN THE OVAL OFFICE during this confrontation, and now hes pausing assistance....i cannot help but think trump is either SEVERELY enamored with putin, or perhaps this is a russification of our Executive branch?
  23. ive an old timer in my side yard, actually had two but one finally gave up the ghost last year. likely your old one needs to be topped out to encourage lower growth, take out old dying or broken branches. the younger ones are around 2 years past where training pruning should of started, but certainly well in the time to start up now. read what Compound suggested but also watch some youtube videos( im a visual/hands on learner) to give an idea where to start
  24. in my observations, the heavier the fruit load you allow on your trees one year will certainly decrease or halt them the following. pruning wrong sections of limb can also be a factor, and yes, once the blossoms open, any frost will likely eliminate or certainly negatively affect fruit for that year
