I think on one of her zoom calls a friend told her about the death factor, sigh.Quote:

Is it too much to ask for a state or federal government to genuinely approach this as having different viewpoints but being on the same side rather than absolute pyrrhic warfare?
Fuck, it’s just so depressing....
Yes. It’s too much to ask.Quote:

Psssst! All the mail in ballots have been licked by the liberated protestors!
actualy what happened in the battle of Britain is the younger ones like my aunt were farmed out to the country but those coming of age like my dad and uncle bob stayed to fight, they would be out all night putting out firebombs with garden spades and garbage can lids, then shipping out to war, that was real shit and he never talked about any of the warQuote:

Much like today with everyone in masks. No more hugs etc.
Battle of Britain was real physical hell. As well as emotional

I had a 4th grade gym teacher* tell us to never buy a car on credit. What prompted that I have no idea, but it's good advice.Quote:

My kid is smart about debt. He has none--went to med school on the DOD dime--but his wife is in osteopath school and has huge debts. We helped pay off the debts; their wedding was a 5 minute ceremony in a blizzard on our deck attended by the 4 parents, with her mom officiating. They hope to have a big party, when they can afford it. We were lucky that our kids went to public college and that we are well off enough to pay for it. The burden of college debt in this country is a disgrace. (We seem to have a lot of disgraces, don't we?)
Not letting us visit the seriously ill is one of the stupider restrictions during the pandemic. I don't think the risk of allowing limited visiting is more than the emotional damage. IME not allowing visitors also harms the quality of medical care. My wife broke her ankle a month ago, was in the ER heavily medicated and trying to make decisions with no one with her to help out, and no way to remember what was said to her. Then a couple of nights ago we was gravely ill with what turned out to be pneumonia--not Covid--and alone in the ER too addled to give coherent information. The phone isn't good enough. The first time the docs didn't talk to me and I had to keep calling to try and advise and understand what was going on. The second time the doc was very good about calling, but when the family is not there it's too easy for the docs to forget about them. We got lucky the second time--our son is doing a rotation at the hospital she's in and has visited her daily, which of course he's not supposed to do. And she's doing much better--maybe home today--but she gave us a very serious scare.Quote:

Not if I don't get my money. Gonna dump it all in the ocean and along the highway. That will teach the State to fuck with the People. I want Revolution. While everyone is SIP. A safe Revolution! Please do not attack without a mask, thank you.Quote:

Seriously, good thing this cop got fired. He actually thinks he gets to decide which laws to enforce and which ones to ignore. It don't work that way.

between job losses/ loss of HC/ complete ctl-alt-del of the world I think some people are really gona get hurt on the bubble this pandemic will create and we don't know how/what Covid is going to do next so its not over
Exactly. However, Bunny's a local. So if he has a kitchen, he's G2G for good, local food. No need for people who actually know the local food.Quote:

Here's another gripe--6 FD emts and firefighters in our house the other night, for a patient with a respiratory illness, and not one wearing a mask or using any other PPE. I was afraid for them, and afraid of them.
Mine just turned 9. Had two Zoom birthday parties. This year he wanted a big park party. We did these over the years. Make sandwiches and snacks, bud a piñata together, invite every friend he has ever had, and get a group of 30-50 kids raging together. Then the virus and Zoom. He seems to be handling it well.Quote:

He will socially distance himself when outside. He sees the neighborhood kids and plays in the streets. Has bike rides with friends, but is really missing his social life. Distance Learning is really hard. Asking him to look at a computer screen for 6 hours a day is really hard.
Kids are way more resilient than adults. At least the kids I know. Especially when I compare them to their parents. I feel like we are always winging it as parents. Now we are just winging on something that is completely new to us. Those hugs and kisses still will go a long way and kids will weather this better than most adults.
I have have two vehicles with car payments. Own my Taco. Both loans were 0 down, 0% finance. Hard to say no to that. We had the cash on hand, but chose to give it to the bank slowly at no cost to us.Quote:

^^ Exactly. I have a 0% interest loan on my truck. Seemed like a no-brainer, and yeah, pretty sure I can beat 0% with that money in the meantime.
no your wrong you just don't type political things and hit post replyQuote:

what is so hard about that concept and what used to be the community standard?

ive trained a lot of dogs to do this
evidently they are smarter than you
well sure ^^ made finacial sense but you still owe the money,Quote:

and that is when one will wish they paid cash or went without
But I have the money in my pocket. Sure I owe it, but it has been earning 2% the entire time I held on to it. Not gonna do the math, but I end up with more money.
The whole idea that one should not finance is absurd. Too many other factors to consider. Yes, many over extend, but not everyone. I’ll have no issue paying off the cars even if I make no money through the end of the loan. Cause I already have that money. And a rainy day fund to get us through ten months of mortgage, food and daily expenses.
OTOH, people who over extended themselves to pay off shit they did not need on money they thought they may make in the future are likely fucked. Like the economy. Not enough people, governments or companies plan well enough.
Ironically, CA has been keeping a rainy day fund and it is about to get liquidated over the next three years to help out in the down times. Kind of surprised. Not nearly enough to keep things normal, but enough to take the edge off.
When I was in 4th grade there was no such thing as 0% 0 down but that is an offer that's hard to refuse. OTOH--at the moment beating 0% in the market is no sure thing.Quote:

I got no debt and feeling pretty good about it. Not getting what I'm missing out on.
Anyhoo, I need some N95 masks soon or the Hanta V is gonna kill me before the Corona V.
Maybe they neutralize each other.
You should run this past the cheeto in chief.
A buddy of mine was temporarily brilliant last week. He told me he had found a way for "the light to shine from the inside".
He produced a 4D maglight and told me to shove it up my ass.
