And Just Like That.....

Four Walls @FourWalls (29161) • Louisville, Kentucky 23 Nov

My back is a party animal. It goes out more frequently than I do. Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield joke, doesn’t it? At least I know what happened this time around. Yesterday I went over to my brother’s house to...

The Sojourner I hope that you are feeling better very soon. It sounds like it could be a problem with the sciatic nerve? (hip and into your leg?) Hugs and much love sent.

Will Trump Run Again in 2024?

The Horse @TheHorse (117755) • Walnut Creek, California 24 Nov

If you were Trump's advisor, what would you do right now? I'm glad that the silliness is over, but I don't expect Donald Trump to disappear. If you were his advisor, what would you suggest he do? a) Remain "stubborn," claim he...

Where do these idiots come from and why do they keep following me?

JJ @myklj999 (50756) • United States 23 Nov

I have friends (that I have known for years) that have been sadly misled by the TrumpMachine™. For the past 4 years, I have forgiven most of them for the error of their ways. Some were so hateful that I 'dropped'...
