I was just reading the same old rubbish of a person asking..why don't the homeless just get a job? Are there people who are really that clueless? Um, do they know how hard it is to 'just get a job' even for those who are not...

DW Davis @RebeccasFarm From my experience with people I've met who talk this way, this is nearly always the case.

DW Davis The ironic thing is that most of those telling the homeless to just get a job are conservatives who sit in church every Sunday and claim to be Christians.

He said that yesterday on Twitter/X and it is probably the first truthful thing he has said. He has survived 2 previous expulsion attempts but the House Ethics Committee report was recently released and was totally damning so...

DW Davis If Santos had even one tiny drop of ethical blood, he'd resign before being expelled. However, an ethical Congress member is rarer than hens' teeth and honest used car sales associates.

Since MyLot's pay scale "shifted," my basic goal has been to make payout. But I am going to set my Totally Aggressive Cha-Ching MyLot Goal at $000X.YZAB this month. If I post and comment aggressively, I may be able to achieve...

DW Davis Was there a memo about the pay scale shift? Because I haven't been active this month, my goal is modest. I'm hoping to make 10% of what the payout was the last time I checked.

Not surprising. Prison inmates have their own system of delivering their version of justice. Chauvin was the Minneapolis cop who knelt on Floyd's neck for NINE MINUTES while he cried out for his mother and said he wouldn't...

DW Davis Prison shivs aren't as effective as they once were, I guess. I'm sure plans are already in the works for Chauvin's next "treatment." I feel no sympathy for him.

DW Davis The tur-cuterie board is awesome. We have some turkey left over. The missus is baking it into a turkey/noodle casserole for dinner tonight. Other than some desserts, that will be the last of our leftovers.

Sunday morning, my alarm went off at 3:15 a.m. No, it was not accidental. Yes, I needed to get up at that unspeakable hour. Why did you have to rise at such a horrifically early time of day? I’m glad you asked. The reason is a...

DW Davis We have a Saturday night service, a Sunday morning service, and a Sunday afternoon service. I'm not sure of the total number in our congregation, but between all the services I would estimate over 500.

DW Davis This reminds me of the stories of how women's dress sizes morphed over time from the 1930s to the 2010s. A size 14 in 1937 miraculously became a size 8 in 1967 and by 2011 was a size 0. You can read more about it here.
