Oh, y'all should look at this video of a vet and her lamb dancing. So Cute! https://twitter.com/jmcappiello/status/1150768050892869632

The somali who married her brother is, I think, the smartest and most cunning of the squad. I also think she might be a little dangerous. I loathe her No. 1. :)

Ig, if you (by chance) are on this thread, now or later, I just read your comment about the woman you've been interested in for some time -- plus you remarking (paraphrase here) 'you might try it with her again in six months or so.' Ig, people don't change, especially twisted, mental cases. There is something wrong with her that you can't fix, not with your compassion or love. You will be oh, so sorry if you become involved with her. Again, people with devious intent, and she certainly used it in this instance, enjoy their little games. She's sick. I'm blunt, but would hate to see you hurt by a cancerous mind, and she seems to have one. I'm so sorry

sbw: You write beautifully. My answering comment sounded like I suffer from a major depressive disorder. I deleted it and wrote another essay on fortitude and platitudes. Sometimes they offer answers. One of my dad's favorites when I was struggling with teenage problems or a major test or singing appearance was: No hill for a stepper. When I tried to post that comment, typepad said I'd timed out and instructed me to refresh. I lost a beautiful piece of writing. :) I have nothing to offer. I do worry about this country's future but can do nothing about it. I worry about our grandchildren's future--we have several million dollars to leave them, unless there's a crash. Again, cynicism about the future gives me a moment of depression. :) Sometimes I'm glad we ended up here. Though people laugh at this part of the country, conservatism still reigns, and it will be a while before the liberals get a toehold. I think if the grandchildren stay here, they'll be safe. Here's to a solution and bright future for you and your family. I'm sure you have the answers already. :)

Also, sbw, I've wondered about a few of your posts in the past week or two -- and, I'm not criticizing you as I say that, but I've thought a few of your comments (while not cynical) were not your usual optimistic take on a few things. And, remember, I'm not criticizing you at all. It's just that your Godot remark made me wonder -- does sbw think the left, the swamp, the Deep State is going to get away with all of it? "They don't value their life, exemplifying it's meaningless. “We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression we exist?” “Yes yes, we're magicians. But let us persevere in what we have resolved, before we forget.”

yes, lyle, I've been fighting the surprise and revulsion I felt as I watched some of their proud prancing and dancing, (their knees held wide apart, swaying back and forth -- guess this shows I don't go to clubs to dance much anymore and haven't for several decades) -- I did read one tweet comment that fit what the ?women? LG??? were doing, someone asked "why all the ghetto behavior?" and I agreed, why act like this? I did type all of the "u's" in f*ck" when I started my post, but it made me sick -- and, sometime I use that word. It fits some situations, but the way those girls used it??? Made no sense.

If you watch the women's soccer team celebrating in their various little videos that lurkersuzie posted a link to, you'll be repulsed and sickened. They're a puzzling example of the deterioration of our society's public discourse. In their words, they f*cking own us, they f*cking got the f*cking keys to the city, b*tches, and they f*cking shop. They also lumber when they dance and look like they need to potty, swaying like gorillas. Instead of 'we've come a long way, baby', it's 'we f*cking own you, b*thches'.

Rocco, I thought about him, but wondered if I was wrong. I've never trusted him since his wording of his appointment of the special counsel -- it's always seemed to me to be specifically aimed at getting President Trump in any way they could.

oh, lol, CH. Some guy posted this comment right after the tweet you linked about President Clinton's explanation of his (non) connection to Epstein: "I did not have sexual relations with that *child*"

Jane, yes, Hillary should pay for her crimes, but somehow I don't think she will. I can remember being appalled, even shocked, when I saw the pictures/videos of her rigid, bacteria-infested body during that 9-11 ceremony just before the election -- and thinking how twisted and sick the groupies and supporters were who hid her affliction, and supported her arrogance and evil crimes. They knew how demented and angry she was, so I want all of the people who supported her to be proven guilty of the crimes they committed as they worked to get her elected.

And Strzok ??, he must go down immediately* because of the seething, pure evil on his face during that testimony. *or at least in #two weeks. :)

Every time I see a picture of Simpson I want to slap his face.

Comey Strzok McCabe Powers Glenn Simpson Yates Brennan Nuland Clapper ***Can't decide on person to be No. 10 in the "First 10" who go down.

hrtshpdbox: ".... but I think it's about time that any investment manager with even a smidgen of integrity start dumping the stock, and for the shoe-buying public to boycott this creepy company." and ".... I'd love to see all these anti-American turds get some comeuppance." Oh, yes, I'm right there with you. I spend a lot of time wishing for the left's downfall. I cut up my Nike yoga gear the last time they showed their true colors, and rely on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Retribution: "Though the mills of God grind slowly; Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, With exactness grinds He all." I want them ground into dust.

That post was from a thread from rising serpent, but typepad wouldn't let me post the link along with the quote. I tried again, and still can't get the link to come up.

Nice to read on the 4th of July: "I came to America because it was the land of the free, not the land of free stuff, the land of the brave, not of snowflakes, where freedom of speech was always more important than the percieved violence inflicted by a telling of the truth. I came because it let me be me."

Re: shingles. My husband got the shingles. He is tough as a boot and doesn't like to admit he feels bad, but he's ready to take the new two-shot shingrix. Our doctor told him they should prevent another bad 'attack' (that's not what he called it, but he said my husband could get them again.) I got the one shingles shot a few years ago because of what I saw happening to my husband. And, I'm ready to take the two-shingrix. Shingles is a mean disease with subsequent outbreaks.

maryrose, 7:26: "I have spent the 4th in Rome in 1975 and last year I was returning from France." The first year we lived in England, we spent 4th of July in Holland Park, which was close to our new flat, and we were cold and shivering and wearing coats. :) I can remember how much I missed the USA. I never dreamed the democratic voters were willing to shed our ideals and descend to the delirium possessing them now. There's going to be a great reckoning for us all soon, if we don't defeat them in 2020.

Jane: "The 4th of July celebration will cost the taxpayer about $20million. We have paid out $17million on behalf of Congress for sexual harassment crimes." Great comment, Jane. And, those assholes* don't really care about money -- when did they ever care about spending? Never! Just think about the millions and billions they're prepared to spend taking care of the poor and wretched potential voters streaming across our southern border. *I hate to shock the people who don't like foul language, but, sometimes, you gotta tell it like it is. I've used crazy, demented, unbelievable, etc., but, when you get right down to it, the left is diseased and filthy; and, if we don't support our president, these same people will soon run our country. Imagine, another eight to ten years of someone raising their hand for full-term abortions, illegal voters, and free sex-change for all.

I read henry's 6:06 about the judge's transcripts on the citizenship census question, and made the mistake of reading leftist responses. They are demented and depraved, living in a world that is unrecognizable in its arrogant hatred of anyone who disagrees with them.

I had never heard that 'flaming kerosene' before now. I don't believe it. The thing that struck me about the latest are the videos they took of the meeting where Bynum announced the new search. All of the wounded and aggrieved faces. You would think the riot occurred this past year.

rse: I'm still chuckling at your ORU post. :) No, I was amazed when ORU was built. Can't remember if we lived here then. We moved to North Carolina and then South Carolina and then to London -- but, followed the news here. Part of ORU is a hospital. They built great, for the time, athletic facilities. They're still nice. Whenever I think of ORU, I see the Praying Hands and the tower in my mind's eye. :) My husband worked at an engineering firm out near there for a long time. It's in south Tulsa.

I apologize for posting about this subject again, but I also failed to mention that I've also been reading for the past year that Oprah is funding a movie about the Tulsa Race Riots. I expect now it will be massacre.
