Did Trump donations really increase after he said he would be indicted this past Tuesday? Or is this just more "Fake News" from the Left?

The Horse @TheHorse (176470) • Walnut Creek, California 21h

I heard from some Lefty that Trump's donations increased radically after he announced that he would be indicted on Tuesday. I'll have to do some research to see if there's any truth to this. Could Trump have used his impending...

Gruelling Migraine at Work

YoghurtGal @flapiz (20222) • United Kingdom 17h

Today I survived a 12 hour shift with a migraine. I really felt like I was going to faint. Initially I thought it was my blood pressure but it was 131/74 mmhg which is a bit high but not too bad. I also had my blood sugar checked...

Heather Echola I was going to respond as @DaddyEvil did, telling you that the stiff neck might be causing it. One natural thing I did, when I used to have these a lot, was to increase the foods rich in magnesium in my diet. Magnesium among other things is a smooth muscle...

My friend @OceanTiara is talking about the elbow being called a funny bone until you hit it somewhere. Big ouch! But not as painful when you stub your toes, right? I had, many times in this lifetime, clumsy me, and true enough (as...

Do you know the term "ghosted"? Have you ever been ghosted?

The Horse @TheHorse (176470) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Mar

I thought my flaky friend who runs the day care was ghosting me. I hadn't heard from her in several days, and her voice mail was full. She owed me $800. Yes, @Vandana7, I'm innocent about some things. I trust people too much. Oh...

Heather Echola I know the term, and I have been ghosted. Not in romance, which is where I read it often, but more like in business and finances, as you have been.

Heather Echola I like the keyboard better than my hand writing. Sometimes I have trouble with reading what I write by hand and I am sure to some other people they are the equivalent of hieroglyphics. So I will keep the keyboard though as I age I notice sometimes my fingers...

What is the largest bill in your country? Here in the USA, it is the $100 bill. There used to be $500, $1,000, $5,000, and even $10,000 bills, and I do recall seeing the lesser of all those, the $500 bill and the $1000 bill in...
