Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (6/7/17) Third Monday of The Week EditionThe growing tolerance for anti-Semitism by both the extreme left and right is quickly becoming mainstream. That is why it is so dangerous and must be exposed for what it is: complicity in, and encouragement of, the oldest form of bigotry. People on both sides of the aisle must have the same zero tolerance for anti-Semitism as they do for sexism, racism and homophobia. Alan M. Dershowitz Quote II Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.Red Skelton Quote III An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. Winston ChurchillQuote IV It bears repeating: actual justice holds you responsible for the actions you take. “Social justice” holds you responsible for actions taken, without your knowledge or consent, by people you do not know and have never met. It’s guilt by association, and a perversion of true justice.Sam Duncan he Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) announced on Tuesday it will appeal a district court's decision to dismiss their $12 million defamation suit against Katie Couric. "The VCDL Board of Directors, after careful consideration, has decided that the recent ruling dismissing the VCDL case against Katie Couric, et al, CANNOT STAND!" Philip Van Cleave, VCDL president, said in a message to the group's members. "The lawsuit has far reaching implications for all Americans. If the media can be allowed to change a person's words to suit the media's own needs or beliefs, then a grievous blow will have been struck against the very core of the freedom that the United States stands for! So the left wing rags are claiming that children are quoting DJT bullying their classmates. Donald Trump’s campaign and election have added an alarming twist to school bullying, with white students using the president's words and slogans to bully Latino, Middle Eastern, black, Asian, and Jewish classmates. In the first comprehensive review of post-election bullying, BuzzFeed News has confirmed more than 50 incidents, across 26 states, in which a K-12 student invoked Trump’s name or message in an apparent effort to harass a classmate during the past school year. In the parking lot of a high school in Shakopee, Minnesota, boys in Donald Trump shirts gathered around a black teenage girl and sang a portion of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” replacing the closing line with “and the home of the slaves.” On a playground at an elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, third-graders surrounded a boy and chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!”So the teachers don't know what to do? The ONT calls bullshit. If they don't know how to handle this they don't belong in the classroom. Secondly, it's Buzz Feed. Hand sanitizer at the end of the ONT for you. Unofficially, Summer is here. Officially, Summer isn't here. But as we enjoy our winterless days what do we know about sunscreen?

That’s not too much to ask, is it? But the Environmental Working Group (EWG) wants us to pick the best sunscreen, and nags us with true but not very useful facts: This one contains an ingredient that caused cancer in a mouse once.

The Medical Normalization of Suicide
Increasingly, suicide is being accepted as a legitimate medical treatment. Medicine - with the ostensible purpose of providing for the health and well-being of a patient-is now being mutated into a justification to kill financial burdens. A Nevada doctor recounts how cost-cutting has entered into the equation of "death with dignity". http://politicalhat.com/?p=13512 Posted by: The Political Hat at June 07, 2017 09:52 PM (vBeA5) 5

It's because this kind of frivolousness is not a trait that people want to see in men, whether they consciously realize this or not. Frivolous men are seen as lacking self-sufficiency and seriousness, and people resent the expectation that everyone else (them) is going to have to make up the slack.

Just got back from Wonder Woman. Erich von Ludendorff is presented as a comic book villain. It got me curious as to how he died in real life so I looked him up. Sum bitch didn't like anybody. He
"published books and essays to prove that the world's problems were the result of Christianity, especially the Jesuits and Catholics, but also conspiracies by Jews and the Freemasons.' Although initially a Hitler supporter, Adolph booted him from the party because his conspiracy theories were too weird. So he's got that going for him.

That tire of mine from yesterday? It's gone, Jim. Took it up to a shop in town, they pulled it off the rim, and there was a about a 6" long gash on the inside. More than the average dong length. A stupid little pothole with a sharp, pointed edge did that. They told me I ought to see what potholes can do to some of those fancy tires I see now. Very low profile, large diameter rims. It looks like the sidewall is no more than 1" high. And those rims have been bent badly by the potholes as well. Very expensive, they say.

Very off-pissing day at work. At our weekly toolbox meeting the subject of snakes came up and I said that two of our young dogs had been bitten last week and that we spent $1400 at the emergency vet for treatment. One asshole yukked, "Wow! How much would euthanizing them be?" And everyone laughed. I didn't.
I took a walk to calm down, returned to my desk and sent the asshole an icy e-mail. I told him that euthanizing a dog was about $80, a figure I paid all too many times over the years and that I always sat with them as they drew their last breath because it was the respect they deserved, that in their final moments they should feel gentle words and a soft touch from one who loved them. I added we spent $1400 instead of twice $80 because we brought them into the world and were responsible for them and that as long as they could live a normal life we had to suck it up on their behalf.

The growing tolerance for anti-Semitism by both the extreme left and right is quickly becoming mainstream. That is why it is so dangerous and must be exposed for what it is: complicity in, and encouragement of, the oldest form of bigotry. People on both sides of the aisle must have the same zero tolerance for anti-Semitism as they do for sexism, racism and homophobia. Alan M. Dershowitz
Quite frankly, I am getting sick and fucking tired of anti-Semiticism being the go to, be all - end of all discussions - regardless of topic. It's enough to make one anti-Semitic. Enough. Done with it. Posted by: Deplorable Flyover 98ZJUSMC at June 07, 2017 10:13 PM (Dgsey) 88

Same. For all my parents' faults and foibles, they got this one right. My earliest memories consist, in part, of my parents AND sisters encouraging me to read. They also consist of a teacher screaming at me for holding my pencil wrong because I had the temerity to figure out the writing thing long before teachers decided I needed to be taught to skill.

Reason #13 that we haven't heard from alien civilizations:
13: All living civilizations are quiet because the loud ones were eaten. Some civilizations are predator based. They may not be able to digest puny alien meatsac race # 24223, but they can certainly consume their metals and other resources. And maybe they can eat the neighboring outerspace alien frog people. The upshot is - when it is quiet when there should be a lot of activity, it generally is because there are predators around. No reason that would not hold true when the hyper-intelligent weasel civilization manages to make generation ships. Sub-light, a single civ using generation ships would occupy an entire galactic arm within just a few hundred thousand years. It be quiet because there are wolves out there.

The Earth will be a a grain of sand about 26' away. Jupiter will be about 140' from the baseball. Pluto will be a little over 1000' away from the baseball. That's the solar system. Let the Milky Way Galaxy diameter be the width of the continental US. Picture that pinwheel imposed on a map. How big is the solar system in that? Take a quarter. Thrown it on the ground somewhere in Tennessee. That's our solar system in the Galaxy. Now, when you get to that scale, the Galaxy itself is but a fly speck on a fly speck on a grain of sand in the observable universe.

The growing tolerance for anti-Semitism by both the extreme left and right is quickly becoming mainstream. That is why it is so dangerous and must be exposed for what it is: complicity in, and encouragement of, the oldest form of bigotry. People on both sides of the aisle must have the same zero tolerance for anti-Semitism as they do for sexism, racism and homophobia. Alan M. Dershowitz Dersh can be awesome at times, but he's being a twat here by equating left and right in terms of anti-Semitism. He knows damned well that virtually all of the anti-Semitism on the right is by a few fringe loons, shunned by the vast majority, but the anti-Semitism of the left is MAINSTREAM. He's plenty smart. He KNOWS that it's true. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at June 07, 2017 10:30 PM (dj96+) Posted by: Helmut Holebroken at June 07, 2017 10:30 PM (m9X4Y) 162

Keith Moon moved in beside Steve McQueen in Malibu CA.

So anyway, one time Idi Amin and I were at NDGT Cosmos & Kegel Camp - Idi was getting an award for being SETI Receptive - when some funny shenanigans started up. Apparently we were under observation by aliens! NDGT was doing an interpretive dance number in a lace panty-suit - nothing unusual about that - but apparently his hand and pelvic motions this time greatly resembled the body language of the aliens... and what he 'said' well, it wasn't good. In short, NDGT told the aliens they had gangrenous cloacas, leprous ovipositors and tiny wieners. Then he suggested they should all anal probe us. And finally he 'said' they smelled like Maxine Water's hoo-hoo. That apparently was the last straw. They challenged us to a sword fight, the earth and humanity's existence in the balance. Well I run a mean 9 and figured it was up to me but Idi steps up and presents and dude - he's packing a riding crop! The size of a sharpie around but knee-length! And ready to cut diamonds. The alien leader - it said it's name was 'Wesley' or some such drops loincloth and... ouch. I mean, damn. Vienna Sausage time. Every guy in the place flinched. Well, it was all over in seconds. Wesley had been penetrated in all 37 of it's orifices with the aliens fleeing, and Idi peeling NDGT out of that lacy thing for round two. Idi still gets fathers day cards from Wesley... apparently something got fertilized in there. Posted by: Mirror Universe Massive Man Meat at June 07, 2017 10:49 PM (pchgp) 255

Yeah, it's EASY to be a "political genius" when your method of persuasion is killing millions of people at a time.

I was in the ER for 12 hours because they couldn't believe my heart was running less than 20% of normal because I could sit up and talk. Then they did an echo and they broke the sound barrier putting me in the ICU. BTW the feet don't always swell either. The big thing is breathing while lying down or leaning back - but it depends on how bad your heart is (if it is, I ain't sayin' that's your problem). Echos aren't that expensive. P.S. I recovered to the point where I was walking on hills 40-70+ minutes most days, went back to work, 6 months, BOOM, failed again.

370. Buchanan is very much a paleocon of the old school. Sadly, a certain grudging respect/admiration combined with a deep distrust of Jews is baked in the cake with that line of thought. Nazi? No. And probably not even an anti-semite in the strictest sense of the word, but certainly not a friend of Jews as a people.

There aren't any, at least in our galaxy.
While the universe is unbelievably vast, the galaxy is merely believably vast. Based on the amount of time the galaxy has existed, if life developed elsewhere in it, they would have visited us by now. Posted by: 18-1 at June 07, 2017 10:52 PM (aZq03) How? Why? If there is life out there and assuming that they have reached out technology level or are even above it, how would they know we're here? If they are 500 light years away there would be no external indication of life here, maybe they know there's a planet in the goldilocks zone but that assumes a lot right there. And even our external indication of radio wave transmissions really don't extend much past our solar system in a way that would be detectable. And then for visiting? Well there's no real evidence of FTL being actually feasible. So maybe they can reach near lightspeed, that's still a long time and distance to travel all to maybe arrive on a planet you hope can support you to meet a group you know nothing about and might kill you just by a sneeze or you them. If life has or does exist elsewhere in the galaxy they most certainly would not have visited us. Posted by: buzzion at June 07, 2017 11:33 PM (cAnNx) 425

410 I can't afford the tequila I like.
I was in Mexico a long time ago and a very wealthy man was eating at the table next to us. he gave us some tastes of his tequila, and it was ethereal. And $500/bottle. But I love rye, and in fact I was going to write about rye as a standalone drink, as opposed to it being a perfect cocktail liquor. Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 07, 2017 11:30 PM (rF0hx) Wow. My only story of that sort is: I was eating at a restaurant in New Orleans, and the people at the next table gave me...my first taste of Jagermeister. Yeah. It was like Dr Pepper syrup, but with more sugar and alcohol. I agree about rye. It's both, but there are sipping ryes that are mind-blowing. I was gifted one recently, and I can hardly believe how good it is: Whistlepig Old World Cask Finish. When it's gone, it's gone. But the memory will remain.

Sorry there Dooshowitz but the growing tolerance for antisemitism ain't from the "extreme left and right," it's mainstream and it's been mainstream for many a generation. You ain't a proper liberal Jew unless you're rabidly antisemite and that ain't "extreme" or "far left" at all.

Based on the amount of time the galaxy has existed, if life developed elsewhere in it, they would have visited us by now.
How would we know? Time is also unbelievably vast. Their desire to explore, the number of times they cared to visit Earth, and their desire to make themselves known to us would have to have happened in the blink of the universe's eye that we call written history.

I read a Pat Buchanan article once where he questioned our entry into WW2. Seemed to think NAZI Germany was not a threat. Too lazy to look for the article. Pat is obviously not a fan of Jews.
Posted by: Puddleglum at June 07, 2017 11:16 PM (pY+s4) The US entering WWII had absolutely nothing to do with Jews or the Holocaust. Not a damn thing. The Us, frankly, didn't do much to stop the Holocaust (it just ended up being stopped as an ancillary occurrence) and was not very welcoming to Jewish refugees from the Holocaust (to put it mildly). And the US had no obligation to be, anyway. So ... I don't see how talking about whether the US should have gone into WWII has anything to do with Jews, since consideration of Jews never factored into the decision to enter WWII, to start with. But the US certainly benefited greatly from the exodus of Jews from Europe before and during the war. That was what made the US the sole nuclear power and insured total US hegemony immediately following the war. Had the Jewish physicists gone elsewhere it would be a very, very different world today.

LeBron's fingerprints are all over this Cavs team. He wanted Love he got Love. He wanted Shumpert and JR Smith and got them. Wanted to resign Thompson, boom done. He wanted Korver aaaaaaaaaand done again. LeBron assembled a team full of non shooters. Love plays too much on the perimeter but he can't play in the post because of Kyrie and LeBron, and Kyrie is not a ball movement PG. They won't trade LeBron so they should trade Kyrie because both of them are ball dominant. Posted by: thathalfrican - El Hefefe at June 07, 2017 11:52 PM (IYHxL) 499

Might you find comfort as God allows us our good days. When through pain, we find life's trials to be excruciating. These days are few, granted we are not our neighbor. For our neighbor suffers each day and finds his way, as he suffers greater pain and fear than I. Lord, grant me a way to find my way through today as I seek Your love in tomorrow and the ever-after.

For Jim in Houston: Serious advice; about 2 years ago I pulled a quadriceps while changing a tire, tried to ignore it at first, but it kept getting worse. Ignoring it caused me to amplify the injury, leaving me laying on the floor of a second story bedroom until someone could come who was strong enough to support me while i one hopped down the stairs. Eventually i was on crutches for about 2 months and my knee began to hurt so much I couldn't sleep for more than 15 minutes at a stretch, no matter how tired I was.
LONG STORY SHORT: I was told by everyone to go to an orthopedist, who I knew was going to recommend me for surgery of something or other, maybe even a knee replacement. Instead, I went to a very highly regarded and very physical chiropractor, who told me my real problem was with my hips, which had been knocked out by the quad problems, and it was shifting all the stress to my knee. I was skeptical but desperate, and started to see him 3 times a week for him to adjust and move my bones (it was kind of impressive feeling him pop my hip back into its socket - didn't hurt, but I could feel it) I started to feel better quickly, and now a year later, I am almost completely back to normal. The old pain started to come back after a 5 mile hike along a rocky creekbank recently, but some more exercises later got rid of it. And this with NO surgery. I'm a convinced believer - but you have to find someone who REALLY knows what they're doing. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 08, 2017 12:13 AM (V2Yro) 573

So apparently, mentioning that someone is or is not, or a certain number of people are or are not, Jewish, is being "anti-semitic." Sorry, I don't follow that illogic. Also, the claimed Buchanan (whom I'm no fan of) quotes appear to be the most people can come up with in support of "the far right" being antisemites." The left - both near and far - are full of quotable quotes of anti-semitism, I'm talking REAL antisemitism that is obvious on the face, not up for debate on the meaning of a word or two.

Posted by: Jim at June 08, 2017 12:09 AM (v5iqM) If you need an expensive scan, talk to the manager of the radiology place and negotiate a large discount for cash. Tell them you will take a cancellation or schedule the scan during a slow time so they save money on you. You can base your offer on the insurance company negotiated price, which is usually less than half the retail price for a scan. Around here the negotiated price is about 45% of the list price. And for cash, and an accommodating patient? I'll bet it would be much less. Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 08, 2017 12:15 AM (rF0hx) 580
Jim, you are hitting about 5 on the 7 red flags list for 'back' issues - you need to be seen by back doc, Ortho or similar. ASAP. Make sure they know you are 100% cash paying - there are 'ideal' imaging packages but sometimes a $300 plain CT will tell you what is needed initially. Make sure the image center or hospital knows you are cash pay and get a hard price up front. Shop around. The longer you wait the worse it gets and the harder the recovery. GO.

I had immobilizing sciatica as well and left a comment about my treatment for you the other day. But I have insurance. There are "scan or imaging" deals/packages out there. I was at a clinic for therapy the other day and at the elevator there was a sandwich board list of all services for uninsured. And there were good prices on the imaging as well as a host of other things. This clinic is part of the hospital where I have been treated. FYI My doc recommended MRI for my sciatica. Good luck. There is affordable help out there. Thoughts and prayers. Posted by: gracepc at June 08, 2017 12:22 AM (OU4q6) 604

Hyper-extended my leg, climbing a waterfall 2 years ago in Jamaica.
What I need to know, ma'am, is how to fix it. This is not merely painful. It is fully debilitating. THAT, is ...worrisome. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 08, 2017 12:00 AM (v5iqM) Get an MRI and have them look at tendons... Some tendons do not heal on their own, because they need blood flow to get to the deep part that needs healing... Had that problem with an elbow... Doctors kept telling me tendonitis.... was in pain for 1.5 years until I insisted on the MRI... Outpatient surgery fixed it, and was fine within 3 weeks of the surgery (they literally cut a V in the tendon, so it would heal all the way down, not just on the surface...).

Yep. I am a herpes magnet. I had chickenpox twice, I get cold sores from the sun, (and stress and fevers!) I've had Bell's palsy and that vestibular neuritis, both of which they think is a strain of herpes on various nerves in the head. All in late June/early July, which I find hard to believe is coincidental. Thankfully I don't have the socially awkward type! Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at June 08, 2017 12:30 AM (dIxAx) 625

590 533 Do you know what is causing it? Jim mine was totally debilitating and a hair short of immobilizing. Before all the fancy dancy MRI I told you about...my first attack was during Christmas week around 4 pm in a store in a town an hour from my house. I called one of those emergency clinics closer to home and made it up there barely. For pain this is what they gave me -- A cortisone shot (goes into muscle not a joint so not as lasting, but helpful). A 5 day deescalating dosage of prednisone. And a script for a muscle relaxant called Baclofen which knocked me on my ass. 3xday. I took 1/2at night. After 3 days or so I could move. But not too much and not without pain. Eventually eased up. Got it a second time a month later. On my other side . That's when we did MRI and longer term treatment. Hope this helps in your decision making. Clinics and meds can be affordable. Once you get mobile you can go further. Not medical advice, just my experience. Posted by: gracepc at June 08, 2017 12:31 AM (OU4q6) 626

I'll put in another vote for chiropractic.
Back in college, I fell down a flight of stairs. I wasn't even drunk at the time. It was in a movie theater, and when the movie started I decided to go from the balcony down to the main floor. There were no lights in the stairwell, and I stepped into the abyss and went head over heels. I was shaken up but seemed to be uninjured at the time, but soon had persistent lower back pain. I saw a chiropractor for 2-3 years, and eventually stopped going because I didn't have any more pain. I don't know the exact nature of my injury or what he did to correct it, but it apparently worked. Posted by: rickl at June 08, 2017 12:32 AM (sdi6R) 631

If they are 500 light years away there would be no external indication of life here,
The galaxy is 100k ly in diameter. Presume our perspective aliens can manage .1% light speed. So, if they were to aim a probe to the other side of the galaxy it would take something like 100M years. Wow you say that is forever! But...it isn't. The galaxy has been around for about 13 BILLION years - 130 times longer then our estimate for time to travel across the galaxy. Ok fine...but there are a lot of stars and it would take time to explore each one at a time. That is true, but that would be a frankly dumb way to do it. Instead you build Von Neumann probes. You fire them at the nearest star system with instructions to build more probes, and send them on to the next few systems and so on. And within 100M years, at most, you have explored the galaxy with your probes and can follow up with your traders, death fleets, or Raëlian cosmic bang buses depending on the nature of your civilization.

I understand what you mean, I really do, but he is like those people who are obsessed with Bilderbergers, or whatever the hell it is, which, by the way, I thought was some kind of joke or meme, but they really exist. He just seems to look at Jews like some kind of all powerful boogie men, pulling the strings behind the scenes. Aside from being weird, it's the kind of thing that makes people nervous, because that is where shit usually starts when people start in with pogroms and other horrible things. They don't start off with the yellow stars and concentration camps, it's whispers of "Damn Jews are everywhere, too many of them, they own too much, they're too influential" and it's all down hill from there.

652 If they are 500 light years away there would be no external indication of life here,
The galaxy is 100k ly in diameter. Presume our perspective aliens can manage .1% light speed. So, if they were to aim a probe to the other side of the galaxy it would take something like 100M years. Wow you say that is forever! But...it isn't. The galaxy has been around for about 13 BILLION years - 130 times longer then our estimate for time to travel across the galaxy. Ok fine...but there are a lot of stars and it would take time to explore each one at a time. That is true, but that would be a frankly dumb way to do it. Instead you build Von Neumann probes. You fire them at the nearest star system with instructions to build more probes, and send them on to the next few systems and so on. And within 100M years, at most, you have explored the galaxy with your probes and can follow up with your traders, death fleets, or Raelian cosmic bang buses depending on the nature of your civilization. Posted by: 18-1 at June 08, 2017 12:38 AM (aZq03) Assuming the time the probe hits the system there is worthwhile life there. What if the probe came through 100,000 years ago? Nothing here worthwhile. Life? They have life already where they are. Resources? Why bother going through all those gravity wells when you can get that stuff from closer systems if you want it and certainly don't have to travel to an inner solar system planet.

Nah, aliens showed up and monitored Earth closely before moving to Phase II:
Analyzing the interactions of life-forms and their dominance and webs of interdependence they decided which of these species were primary and best representation of the planet. Phase II was involuntary contact, where they kidnapped some poor back-country schlubb who no-one would believe that he had been snatched and probed. Unfortunately they though cats were the primary species. And grabbed a couple of piss-mean ferals. And labeled the planet "Do not touch. Extremely dangerous. Real bastards."

Even now, the Solar System could be teeming with such probes, and we wouldn't know it. Figure something about 10 m in diameter. It would have to be withing 0.1 AU (IIRC) to be detectable with our current "eyes", unless it was transmitting, and transmitting something we could detect. Oh, and on a time scale we could detect. We humans exist on a certain time scale. 0.1 seconds is about the lower resolution of consciousness. Imagine some intelligence that exists much slower. Or faster. On of their equivalent seconds is about 100 years to us. Or 1000 years. Or a microsecond. Either one of those would totally escape us. And we couldn't communicate as we think of it now. Imagine it would take a 1000 years just to introduce themselves. And say they comminicate with neutrinos instead of RF. Or dark matter based tech, which when we discover it, we'll soon learn is the ideal thing for communicating over light year spans. The idea of using EM for that would seem like using smoke signals.

...your prayers. I've been silently in despair for months, knowing that my Father's downfall was inevitable. My Mother has been dealing with it, (poorly), for about a year, now. She exaggerates. When I went to see him over the past week, it is no exaggeration about his mental capacity. He's doing poorly. His physical well-being is above the doctors' expectations because of the diet my Mother and I laid out for him. She chides him on "snacking", but that's not only Who He Is, but his physical health is superb. I told her to "lay-off" because she is just too worried, and I cannot blame her. I Love them both and I rarely let tears fall from my eyes, as they should remain in a Man's head. Where they belong. My Father is no longer "My Father" that I grew-up with. I'm losing him slowly and my Mother drives me nuts. I'll ask you all to pray for me in this instance because I'm not of a Sound Mind. I'm not alone in this, I know. Most of you have already lost at least one of your Parents, if not both. I'm sorry to ask for this, but I'm just not "all there". I'll ask God for guidance tomorrow. P.S.: Beer doesn't get you "In Touch" with God. It only makes you a whiny faggot. Posted by: Slapweasel, (Cold1) (T) at June 08, 2017 03:06 AM (6gk0M) 766

You folks know that the mug shot of Mr. McQueen was taken by the Anchorage Police Department, yes? Our brush with greatness was busting him for racing on the streets. Anchorage was so dull that he thought that was the only way he was gonna have fun.
As I recall, they let him off with a ticket or something. I don't think he was exactly in love with Alaska. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 08, 2017 03:44 AM (NXsWM) 780

And then, Courteney Love. She was an exotic dancer in Anchorage during the pipeline era. That was also the cocaine era. She danced at a place called, every so cutely, The Wild Cherry. She also got busted a few times for solicitation and public drunkeness. Now, of course, it is no longer illegal to be drunk in public. Back then? Ticket the first time, followed by a visit to the work farm for the second and all other times. I'm pretty sure she weaseled out of that.
So, she's come up in the world. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 08, 2017 03:51 AM (NXsWM) 785
I have a ear infection of no discernible origin, for 2 days was waliking
around with at least a 1/2 headache and other times feels like someone stuck a nail in my ear. --- possibly "swimmer's ear" post shower or being immersed in water... simple preventative treatment: several drops of rubbing alcohol instilled in each ear, with head tilted, after shower and/or immersion. you can pour a skosh in the cap, and use that to instill, instead of a dropper. the IOTH breaks the surface tension of the water in the canal, and thus displaces it. tilt your head back the other way, and it all drains out. then clean the canal with a Q-tip (and not one of those cheap generic things either) likely won't help with an infection, but it's a good way to help prevent them going forward.

Slap, if you are still here, my experience is that your parents age beyond who they were when you were growing up, and become other people once the kids are grown and gone. Eventually, any number of things will change them, sometimes drastically. Since my dad's stroke, he has given up a great deal, and some things that weren't important before have become essential. And, now Mom has forgotten why she was so pissed off at us and has become somewhat better to be around, although she still hates kids and dogs, which is always going to be an issue in this family. Of course, having to check on them constantly without making it seem as if I am doing that is another trick, and then surreptitiously cleaning when they are out visiting or something is also tricky.
Your parents are who they are, and that may not be who you thought they were. Love doesn't go away, it just changes sometimes. My folks in their late 80's are not precisely the same as the ones I knew as a kid, or even 10 years ago. I have to let that old vision go. I have to be their kid now, just as I had to be their kid then. It isn't an easy thing, but it is real, and I believe it has a purpose as well. God draws straight with crooked lines. He also numbers the hairs on your head, and theirs. It is hard to trust, but without that trust, you will not find peace. "Not as the world gives..." Followed by "Thy will be done." The hardest four words in the English language. Hang in there. He knows what is best.

Here in Kansas the legislators voted in a huge tax increase, overriding the Governor's veto.
Every year four urban school districts sue in State Court to get more money. The Supreme Court rules for schools. They then tell legislators to cough up the money. But not how much. But more than 50% of the budget for sure. The budget has to be settled by 30 June to have schools open on time. The legislators caved. This is all without the slightest evidence that it raises educational outcomes. I fact, I postulate that the other 50% of the state budget could go to schools without materially bettering educational outcome. Last election only 35% voted to not retain the judges, so the people failed to protect themselves. The legislators will not impeach those same judges like OK threatened. They can't even say "Swim in your own lane", the all-purpose Washington DC admonition. I have to pay for it.

Yes, Things are looking up. I had DeplorableJewells45 make me a bespoke necklace for an upcoming anniversary. It looks great, and it's packed with allegorical goodness. It's all about spousal maintenance. I'm up a tad early because of the tick bite reactions and chiggers. We have a lot of ticks this year, and even more chiggers. Even with multiple layers of protection they get to me. I supported my up the hill neighbor with mowing, which is where they come from. She has a beautiful extended garden, and it takes 6 hours of turning my riding mower to cut all the intervening grass. Her kids, grandkids and two great-grandkids are visiting this weekend. I want her place to look cared for, and now it does. She is a bit frail at 90 years old to mow, but she tends her gardens for hours daily. Posted by: NaCly Dog at June 08, 2017 05:54 AM (u82oZ) 851

Posted by: KWDreaming at June 08, 2017 06:01 AM (lLOfk) Given the postmodern bullshit that passes for intellectualism these days, not hanging out with them is no discredit. You don't get richer by hanging out with Nigerian Princes, and you don't get smarter by hanging out with someone who thinks there are an unlimited number of genders.

That makes me dangerous. You could go to the mall and try on lace short sets. Is that dangerous enough for you? Posted by: fluvfefe at June 08, 2017 06:26 AM (jw2Xw) Posted by: rickb223 at June 08, 2017 06:27 AM (PCof0) 869

Major road construction on US 290 out of Houston, which has gone on for years and bids fair to go on for more, is ruining businesses along the highway, as any driver takes his life into his hands by traveling on it.

Good to see a Dem administration focusing on the long term. All those people shot in this fair city would be dead anyhow unless we show Trump that the Paris Accord is the answer to Chicago Climate Change! Posted by: Hrothgar at June 08, 2017 06:45 AM (gwPgz) 883

Posted by: rickb223 at June 08, 2017 06:44 AM (PCof0) Road construction contracting in this state is ridiculous. Simply building a new entrance at the hospital where I live, a thing that should take no more than a week, has been going on for the past 6 months. Somebody's got to be making out like a bandit on this. We really need to tighten the timelines on these contracts, and increase penalties for time overruns.

Welcome to Houston. I remember when I-10 (the Katy Freeway for the initiated) took for freaking ever to get done. And I am convinced that I-45 (the Gulf Freeway) exists as a permanent construction project. Every time I drive down to Galveston (at least once a year if not more often) I run into construction projects on that highway.
