Life in the New Banana Republic

I'm taking a night of vacation tonight and thought I'd try this. I've had chocolate stouts before. Didn't know what to make of this. There is a restaurant in Meers, OK, where you can get beer floats and beer milkshakes. Dark beer works best. ...

In every possible way? Personally for me this would involved many things that do not exist in this world. ...

Adult subject. Please be forewarned, I am seeking genuine opinions in this matter. I am not seeking to instigate a riot. My husband is a lousy lover. We have been married for 13+ years and I guess it will never change. I have guided, instructed, suggested, taken over, recommended... with no results. He mostly lays there like a slug and (I guess) WANTs me to take over, but it ends up being a CHORE and there is no positive end result for me. I have been avo ...

Your day as a liberal begins at the crack of dawn with early morning yoga followed by a quick bite of dried seaweed breakfast before hitting the road to attend your latest "peaceful demonstration." On your way home, you're sure to stop and hug a few trees before jumping back on your 100% smog-free bicycle (complete with the "I break from beached whales" sticker). After a delicious lunch of tofu and egg beaters, you must pause to meditate, worship mother earth, and re-contemplate the ef ...

try to be subtle. He snubs Netanyahu, then announces he is going to appear on Letterman. He is just trash. I'm embarrassed to have him for a President. I wish I could meet him face to face. ...

What will you do today to make your short time here on earth even more amazing? Don't just exist ... LIVE. ...

My grandparents lived through the Great Depression and were forever grateful to FDR for bringing the country through. When I asked them why they were Democrats, they said it was because of FDR. If, in a generation or 2, someone asks a Latino why are they are Democrats, how much do want to bet they will say because of Obama? Note: I don't think that FDR or Obama took they actions they did to build a political party, they just did what they believed was right. I will be a ...

you that he wanted to fundamentally change you, would you think he loved you? Case closed. ...

Former President Barack Obama traveled to Italy this week to make a speech on climate change at the “Seed & Chips: The Global Food Innovation Summit” in the city of Milan. It seems like Obama has taken a page out of Leonardo DiCaprio's book of “do as I say, not as I do” and took a private jet to Milan. Not only that, he had a 14 car convoy to get into the city, which also included protection from above with a helicopter. More at link... ...

A mother's words to VP Pence on the Republican health care plan: (Excerpt) "Personal responsibility, Mr. Pence? What exactly are you referring to here? Because I really don't know how my six year old, who is non-verbal, non-ambulatory, exclusively tube fed, vision impaired and medically fragile, who relies on me and a handful of other caregivers for literally everything, is supposed to take personal responsibility for his own health. You know, since it was his f ...

Real life comedy......always something in my house!! My hubby left to go get his monthly haircut. An hour later he calls and tells me he's in Wal-Mart and about to buy some Wahl hair clippers. He said since he wears his hair so short, even a monkey could cut his hair. Well, I told him, "Hon, we don't own a monkey, so go put those clippers back". ...

I had taken a medical transcription course and graduated with a certificate of honors 2 years ago. I never found a job in the field despite all of the hard work and effordt I put into it. I ended up getting a PRN job in the medical field doing something different: performing hearing screens on newborn babies at the hospital. I found a job as an audiology tech at a bigger hospital and I would be doing this full time! I was selected for the position (yay!) and have to pass all of these tests to st ...

So the big news is using standing desks because sitting in a chair is bad for you even if you work out regularly. I tried it today and it would be very hard to get used to it because using the pedal is super annoying. I'm wondering what you recommend and how you keep from just sitting in the chair for hours on end. Let's come up with some good ideas for staying active. ...

Okay, before anyone replies with "you're the only one who can change things" or anything like that, I know that already. I know not to be living in a dream world, be grateful for what I have, etc. I know all that stuff. I'm just wondering if there are other people who feel like they are living in a different life they are not meant to be in. I don't know how to describe it. I feel like I'm in limbo or something. I was pulling up some differ ...

Before his forced resignation, President Richard Nixon declared, "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." Our current chief executive, however, speaking this year at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, said of our terrorist enemies: "They may seek to exploit our freedoms, but we will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and distrust." By contrast, on Sept. 27, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Charlie Savage, the press' Paul Revere guardian ...

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union ...

kindness, and clear-eyed understanding, would be in order? Lots of us have a bit of this tendency, but some may too much for their or anyone else's good, and these grim times just accentuate it. This tendency has to be combated by able people, but not with pointless back-and-forth arguments with those whose convictions are just reinforced by resistance. “As a member of the avant-garde who is capable of perceiving the conspiracy before it is fully obvious to an as yet unaroused ...

Original thread is getting pretty far down and I am curious because I have yet to hear a politican other than Mitch Daniels bring up this issue without screaming about killing grandma or using death panels. When Medicare spends 25% of it's resources on end of life treatment then it's time for everyone to discuss this issue in a reasonable fashion. Personally, and as one who is on Medicare, I feel that everyone who applies should have to include their advanced directives whi ...

I was going to try to Facetime with a friend tonight in another state. Her iPad was being fixed and now her's is fixed and mine is saying to enter my ID, which I did, said it was not right, tried to open up another one and still could not. I am so vexed right now. I don't give a rat's behind about what is said about things being so much easier now than in years past. What a bunch of baloney. If husband not here and I accidentally hit the wrong button on the remote and the TV went ...

No matter what I think of the verdict, I think there are some new realities for many. George will spend the rest of his life with social rejection by some, and perhaps be profiled regarding his future behavior. He may even one night be walking somewhere and fear someone walking behind him. How will he know if that person wishes him harm or is just someone walking in the same direction? If he ever has to "stand his ground" again, this case, even though he was found not guilty, will not be in ...

Good! Let him go crawl back under the rock from whence he came! ...

So here I am, in my 40s, have a pretty darned good life, in good health, have a positive outlook on life, but I have no friends and no way to make any really. I've worked at home since moving to my neck of the woods over a decade ago. I left family and friends many states away in pursuit of a more quiet life and that is what I have gotten. No one from my past ever visits here because it is just too far away and everyone has their own busy lives, and even if they were to vi ...
