I Definitely Need Some New Friends

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (94) • United States 19h

A couple of you have been telling me that my "friends" are not really my friends. You're right. Case in point: In the attached collage is what my hair has looked like for a couple of months on the left and what it looks like...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (94) • United States 7 May

Jim Bauer I think it has been staring us right under our noses for a long, long time and I will put it in bold for emphasis: We turned corporal punishment into a crime and therefore, there are no consequences for bad behavior. On top of that, parents went from...

Oh, if you can't be bothered to get up off of your lazy butt and vote, don't you dare moan about the government afterwards

Jim Bauer I think you said it right. If you don't vote, you have no skin in the game and you get what you get. Sure, that may still be the case that you don't get what you want even when you DO vote, but at least you can assert you voted for somethning else. That all...

Jim Bauer We all could go for a break at the pump. The cause is worth it, IMO of course, but it still hurts. Fingers crossed. For dinner I made chicken burritos. Yummy stuff.

Give the news a rest.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14656) • Ireland 6 May

Jim Bauer Beyond everything you have said here, I think one of the BIGGEST pitfalls has been that because of the 24-hour news cycle, most of the time is filled with COMMENTATORS. And that's not news. But it gets MARKETED as news, and people BELIEVE its news, when it's...

When Pit Bulls Attack

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (94) • United States 5 May

Jim Bauer People will defend these dogs to the bitter end. I don't know how many people say, "It's the owners, not the dogs." I'm sorry, but the stats say otherwise. Many other breeds who are abused, for example, will not attack. They will retreat. In one argument I had...

The Cruise from Hell

Baconstripsxxx @BACONSTRIPSXXX (17579) • Torrington, Connecticut 6 May

Well I guess its safe to say that il be removing "going on a cruise" off my bucket list. This is the second time a cruise ship is stranded in the sea with a deadly virus on board that already claimed three lives so far. I cant...

Jim Bauer According to the story, the virus didn't originate on the ship, but from a couple who had come from South Africa and brought it onboard with them. Nonetheless, you do tend to hear a lot about "horror cruises," although the reality is that roughly 39 million...
