17 And just what does an ONT sound like?



Spring was never waiting for us, 'ette
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in comments

Between the greyish boxes and plain text
Slapped love's hot, fevered iron
Like a Book Thread pair of pants

Overnight Thread's melting in the web
Barrel's sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left tears lost out in the rain

I don't think Sally can fake it
'Cause the fat man sitting naked
And I'll never do this kind of thing again,

oh noooooo
oh noooooooooooooooo

Some Moron awhile back proposed always putting a hyphen after "ass" when thus employed in a sentence.

e.g. "short ass-gf"

Meaning.. I guess, that would suggest one has a gf for one purpose, another gf for another purpose?

chlorphineramine and pseudoephedrine so i could breathe, Santa Ana winds, a Classic Coke, just before i got on the road, and LA freeway traffic on the 1 Oh Worst and the 4 or 5 hour freeways trying to get to North Hills on time for the appointment.

they were horrified, and were telling me i couldn't leave, and that they were going to admit me.

my EKG was absolutely normal, which stunned them, and i wasn't going to let them admit me anyway.

115 The old Hitler time travel gag I know is that when Israel invents time travel, Mossad keeps sending agents back in time trying to kill Hitler before he gains power. Each time they fail they go back earlier.

Basically Hitler grows up fending off these attacks since childhood, so he develops a deep fear and hatred of Jews.

But the comic strip has a better twist

176 "It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth cannot be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society--the farmers, mechanics, and laborers--who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government."

201 I have a bit of an urgent prayer request. I know this isn't the normal channels. But as I say, urgent. My nephew was found dead. As nice a human as you could ever meet. Seriously. He was a youth pastor at a church for the last 15 years. The Facebook posts from his young congregants are heartbreaking. He was 42. Left behind 2 young daughters and wife.

My sister Is practically hysterical about this. As you would expect. The detective says they are investigating this as a homicide but, I just heard that he had been prescribed antidepressants that were "messing with his mind".

It seems maybe "best case scenario" is that he didn't take his wife and girls with him when it all got to be too much and we should be thankful for that. But why it would be that terrible for him is a mystery.

Thank you all for your prayers in advance.

No, my assumption is Trump is scarily (from a political perspective) disengaged from the Virus issue and cares more about trolling a personal enemy.

Mike Bloomberg shouldn't be on his mind at all.
Posted by: WWEscrewedTheFiend at February 27, 2020 10:49 PM (Bd9dL)

So you're a mind reader now? Here's a thought: Maybe Trump realizes he isn't an expert in virology or epidemiology and has delegated the decisions to the best experts we have. Maybe his intent is to follow their advice and back them to the hilt on their decisions, and in the meantime maybe leave the panic inducing talking out of one's ass to the The Press.

Some lady wearing a hijab T-boned another lady and me this afternoon while I was on my way to pick up my daughter from school.

So pissed. Totaled my car, she ran a red at about 60 mph, hit the other lady, went airborne and smashed into mine. She ended up flipped over. I can't believe we all walked away in this.


The other lady she hit first is the mom of one of my daughter's classmates, so we know each other. Counting our blessing we weren't seriously hurt, but now I have to go thru all the bs of insurance, rental cars, finding a new car, not to mention feeling all stiff for days.

Trump knows by gut-instinct that if he gets tough with the anti-coronavirus measures, like recommending school closures and the like, the country will go into total chaos within hours, since everyone under 45 in the US is totally risk-averse. (Think about how the soccer moms will behave - they'll be shooting each other at Kroger for the last loaf of bread, and at Walgreens for the last bottle of Nyquil.)

There are no indications now that tough measures are needed to prevent a lot of coronavirus deaths in the US.

In what appears to be a rather drastic measure to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID 19), North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un allegedly sanctioned for the execution of the first North Korean patient tested positive for the deadly strain of the virus.

You should have listened to the whole report. She looked also looked at how the problems in China were creating problems for the US.
One example is that all of our antibiotics come from China. All of them. That means shortages in the US which will absolutely result in many deaths -- just from illnesses other than the corona virus.

The seasonal flu has an R0 of 1.28. Kung Flu has a peer reviewed R0 of 4.7-6.8. The seasonal flu doesn't send 20% of who catch it to the ICU or needing the ICU, it doesn't take dangerous and expensive HIV drugs to treat, it never caused 1/10 of teh global population to be on some kind of lockdown, it doesn't cause people to be welded shut in their homes and entire apartment buildings to be welded shut, it's not aerosol, it doesn't cause recovered patients to get reinfected at a 15% clip, it doesn't leave lesions on your balls causing infertility, and I could go on and on since I've been keeping up with this for over a month digging and researching myself, and not reacting to the MSM who all of a sudden is springing the news on people without giving all the facts and research and data to go over.

419 Repost from the Morning Report

How to deal with the corona virus:

Especially since we have no trustworthy data from China, it is too early to draw any conclusions about the rate, severity, percentages, etc.

That said, no one should panic, but do not blow this off as a big nothing burger, either. Everyone should be prepared.

Even if this doesn't get out of control, there is always a chance that general public panic would mean short supply of food.

Regardless of the likelihood, there is some chance that you could be quarantined at home for an extended period.

You should always have enough food on hand to go a week or two in case of some unforeseen event.

For this potential event, you could need enough food and basic supplies for your household for at least 30 days. If you can't manage that, do what you can.

Stick to non-perishables. Don't get foods that you wouldn't normally eat. Get things that are easy to prepare in case you get sick.

Practice personal responsibility and be as prepared as possible and reasonable. When you are prepared, you will never have a reason to panic.

This has been a public service announcement. We now return you to your regularly scheduled silliness.

funny part? at 21 I had a clue.

I knew I was living on the edge. I made sure that I had no long term commitments. I was VERY clear in all my relationships that this was for fun, and don't bet on anything long term.

I was also riding Crotch Rocket Motorcycles, jumping out of airplanes, drinking to excess, and doing just about anything I could for an adrenalin rush.

But I was not going to take anyone down with me.

It was also 1980, which was a VERY different world.

One even heard a voice outside herself telling her do it, do it, do it, and you just don't want to dwell on that a whole lot. But it's why I have nothing but pity and sorrow for those who succomb.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had strong words for Australian prime minister Scott Morrison during a joint press conference on Friday, lashing out at his country's policy of deporting criminal Kiwis back to their homeland for her to deal with.

But Morrison was unapologetic, saying Australia's policy would not change and telling Ardern that his country's "very clear view" is that "if you have committed a crime and you're not a citizen of Australia, then you have no right to stay."

492 Bertram - was that contemporary? Teaching WWII in high school, today? Would be great to hear, but kind of stunning.

It was barely taught back when I was in high school (and many teachers through all our grades were WWII vets).

I remember learning more from talking with the teachers, and of course my own reading, than any class, where it was covered barely at all, even back then.

Ok, so the girl is obsessed with YouTube videos about arts and crafts, and her thing of the day is flipbooks, so I had to crease and staple a bunch of the notebook paper together and get back to work and never think of it again.

Until she showed me the end product and made me laugh, and laugh hard. It was a cheerful, brightly colored flipbook of the death of the galaxy, as the sun swells and swallows up the inner planets, including ours. She explained this in her usual ebullient manner.

Then, she said her next one would be about what would happen if the outer planets were to vanish, and the Kuiper belt collapsed, pelting Earth to pieces with giant space rocks.

I f'in love it... she's going to make me a delightful, childish animation of multiple SMOD strikes.

500 Thanks Bertram.

And speaking of WWII, pretty sure I noticed today that my 6th grade teacher's spot is just a few feet away from that of a relative-kinda-by-marriage's husband's spot at the national cemetery here. Had never noticed it - but he's side by side with his wife, both were WWII vets (and until they died lived a few houses from where I live now).

Every time I visit that place I learn something.

Last time it was the fascinating name plates/probable stories of a few Japanese-surnamed guys with WWII service dates. One was 442 RCT (had "Go For Broke" on the name plate), other two were WWII years, NCOs in the Army, nothing more. Likely intel or interpreters.

In HS, our janitor had served in Viet Nam, big time. Marine recon, in from Tonkin til withdrawal. He would come give a presentation each year to juniors in Am Hist about that particular war.

When I was a junior though, he took a particular interest in my girlfriend, because she was Vietnamese, and from Saigon, and he wanted to know EVERYTHING about what was happening there. He'd always chase us down and ask her stuff.

Learned a lot just listening to them talk.

Ah, the mini-moon. It's orbit isn't stable and it will drop out after a few years. There've been several of these over the years.

You might be interested in "quasi-satellite" and "horseshoe orbits" (tadpole orbits, too). Earth has several of these, asteroids in these orbital configuration. A quasi-satellite appears to be circling the planet, but is not really. It is not gravitationally bound, just has a 1:1 resonance with the larger body.

Horseshoe orbits are variations on that.

512 Hi Debby! Publius is recovering nicely, and continues to identify internet b.s. that I should dismiss. Things I don't dismiss include the Sandy Hook false flag and Q.
We haven't set a date for the wedding, but we do have a general contractor for the house. This week Publius has been released from using a walker, so we'll need to set up an appointment to discuss some details do as to get an initial estimate.
He's not allowed to drive until he's off the pain meds, which will be a few more weeks, I guess.
Please tell him he needs to do his PT 3 times daily.

Posted by: creeper at February 28, 2020 02:16 AM (XxJt1)

519 Thanks, Debby - I'm sure it will be a center of happiness! I want a walkin shower in the master bath, so the toilet will be moved over. And I don't want a whirlpool bath, so I'm still mulling over that. There will be a long double vanity instead of separate ones. Publius doesn't like the closet door in the bathroom, so that may have to be altered as well. The second bedroom will be his man cave/computer room, and he wants to open the office from that side as well. Personally, I think that he should surrender the master closet to me, and he can have the "office" and the closet in the second bedroom for himself.
Cooth recommended having deeper counters in the kitchen (an extra 3 1/2") and that sounds good to me. Probably granite. The contractor likes to do custom cabinetry, which sounds perfect. I want a 36" lazy susan like the one Publius' father did in their kitchen. Also a full-length pullout next to the fridge, for my spices and oils and stuff. No dining at the island, though, and I'm still thinking about how I want that to look. One level and big. Maybe 3' x 6' with storage drawers.

522 We have a whirlpool tub in the master bathroom, it seldom gets used. One of my big projects this year will be a complete remodel of the master bath. I have met a contractor who is decent, kind and honest. The tub is getting ripped out and I am putting in a very large walk/wheel in shower for hubby and myself. We still have one tub in the house for resale value, but health considerations make the big shower much more practical for daily living.

524 DDS - I read somewhere's that the average whirlpool tub is used 15 times or less in it's entire life. We have one also, only used it 2-3 times in the 10 years we've been here.

I'm fixing to also do a complete master bath redo soon - this time, we will have a walk in shower - sounds similar to yours.

Yep, exactly. I figure the opening to the shower should be wide enough for a walker or wheelchair, and have a single panel about half the length. A heat lamp to compensate for the lack of an enclosure. Ease of cleaning is important, too. I want it to look nice, but don't want to waste money on fancy designer stuff.

Click on the circle next to "Mainland China" to remove the graph of their cases, which appear to be comforting lies.

And click on the circle next to "Total Recovered" to remove that graph, in order to see just the graph of coronavirus cases outside China.
That exponential curve is what you should expect for the future, since that's what the disease has actually done in reality.

One should ignore the last data point; it's not a complete count of cases for that day.

532 We'll need handicapped access also for the shower since Mrs. TP's mobility can be iffy.

And people seem to want big, walk in showers these days. We won't stay here too long - we are reasonably certain we are heading south to be closer to two of the kids. Honestly, we will probably bring out two granddaughters that are here with us.

Posted by: Tonypete at February 28, 2020 02:47 AM (Y4EXg)

533 I like the idea of a bench, and a shelf for shampoo and stuff. I'll discuss that with the contractor. I loved the shower at the swanky place I vacationed in at OBX, which is where I got a lot of my ideas.
And I'd like a full mirror behind the vanity instead of a medicine cabinet. Between the two of us, we have a lot of medicine/toiletry items. I guess we'll need a custom storage cupboard for all of that, in the area where the shower is on the current plan. Linen cupboards aren't an ideal storage place. They're too deep.

Maybe simply see if hubby would like to go with you. Just once. It may click with him this time.

It did with me.

Also, the virus never leaves the recovered. Some have been getting "reinfected" after recovering like herpes having flare ups or chickenpox turning into shingles. this goes back to the orignal studies out of germany, they said people were "recovered" after the first round of symptoms, but the viral load never ever left, it still showed up in poo.. no one has been found to have actual clear viral loads after they recover in ANY study. So if you catch it there is a chance you may have to remain on antivirals until a vaccine is discovered, mass produced, and distributed. You would also have to be isolated to keep from infecting others who don't have it.

The County has an elected Board, which is expected to have oversight on the policies and operation of the County School administration .

It would seem that the powers to be will not tell the Board

1. How many students enrolled in county schools are required to wear ankle bracelets

2. How many convicted sex offenders were granted written permission to attend Baltimore county Schools.

Amongst a host of other little issues and problems within the school system.

School boards are specializing to get money and spend for more stuff.

The pros in the schools do their best to keep everything quiet. This is not just in the urban areas, where this is worst, but even in rural areas. Lots of example. Look at DC schools where everyone is college bound, even if you missed 5 months of schools.

Even in Montgomery County, the two irreconcilable goals are promote everyone regardless of standards and success on standardized testing.

Tinfoil hat on. China developed this virus for the 300 million men with no access to pussy, thanks to their "one child" policy. Most every Chinese family wanted a boy because boys, as head of their family would take care of their parents in their old age. So no one wanted a girl. No one gave a shit what the guy wanted.

So they have three hundred million men with no access to poon.

Gut check: that's almost every person in the US being male. People can't fathom those numbers.

When three hundred million HORNY men get uppity, regimes fall.

That's why the virus was weaponized. They need to thin the herd. Badly.

656 so yesterday a contractor tore a hole in an 8' water main in Houston. It shut down about half of the city's water supply. Probably 1/4 million without water today.

Mayor Turner blames aging infrastructure.

I predict a no bid contract to a 'friend of Turner' HUB outfit is responsible. Good thing the pension debt is only 3 times the city's annual budget.

668 good morning glorious warriors of the horde ...

media is so dishonest against Trump ... even on important health issues. last two examples ... they claim Trump is downplaying the virus, and after stating the need for testing, conclude with "Trump SUGGESTS they don't need to ramp up test kit production". I listened to his conference ... I think the opposite, they are prepping to do more testing. But the MSM don't have a quote, they just claim "Trump Suggests" ... meaning that is their spin on what he actually said (as he tried to calm any panic).

The other story, different propagandist, leads with "privately Trump is said to be very frustrated with the efforts ... but publicly he said ..." the opposite, basically. So they call him a liar from the start, because they state as fact the premise "privately he is said to ...". That frames his whole actual statement as a lie.


This happens all day every day. And of course any recognition that people coming from China are more likely to have the virus is RACISM, there is No Evidence on which to base such PREJUDICE. Except for all the evidence ... but after a few weeks they will get their diversity of victims they want, I suppose.

Doesn't make sense. If the virus were designed for that end, it would be attacking the young (and horny), like the Spanish flu.

Instead it's preferentially taking out the old. There are very few cases, and almost no fatalities, among the young.

I have met a contractor who is decent, kind and honest. The tub is getting ripped out and I am putting in a very large walk/wheel in shower for hubby and myself. We still have one tub in the house for resale value, but health considerations make the big shower much more practical for daily living.

This is exactly what I want to do to our master bath. Although I think we have enough room to put one of those corner soaking tubs in there, as well. That jacuzzi... The kids liked it when they were little. I remember three little girls in bathing suits having a grand time in "the bubbly tub" at one of my daughter's sleepover. I think maybe I or my husband used it a handful of times in 20 years. So hard to keep clean.

I have no doubt that they created this. I believe it accidentally escaped. Why, accidentally? Because there has been zero evidence of bizarre derivatives being placed prior to the event, and remember 9/11 with Put options being bought the day before it happened. The only evidence that the ChiComs knew in advance is leaked memos of the military shutting down certain institutions on January 2nd.

So, created by China in the bio-4 lab,. It accidentally escaped escaped. Commies didn't know until January 2nd. Nobody really knew anything until Wuhan was quarantined around Jan. 24th. China knew it was bad way before then and their strategy has always been using their population to their advantage so in a few years they are hoping to the the last big dog standing.

There is some strange shit people are talking about happening in out country. Like government officials buying out the some smaller farms heifers for 10k to 15k a head when the average is 2k and 4-6k for price winners.

706 it may not be a bio-weapon from that lab, could just be part of their research inventory, that escaped by accident. Last I heard they said it did not have the "markers" (?) of being an engineered bio-weapon, but that could be a lie/cover as well, who knows. But they haven't let outside scientists into the hottest zone, is what I heard (Bannon said that iirc).


China is pushing very hard to control the narrative, any suggestion they are less than helpful and honest is RACISM, and they push that messaging into the parts of the media they control/influence ... which seems to be a lot.

A couple of weeks before a text screens shot between her and a kids dad was leaked on the boards where he asked how bad is it. She replied basically don't know but we have 1000 cases right now. Then the research began on her name and she was who she was.

We aren't testing people like we should and the UN told Italy to shut down their testing and reporting of new numbers.

At the end of the day it's more about not makiing China look bad, no racisms, keep people from panicking and still buying shit, and pray that it won't be bad because they believe the panic would be worse.

I say put the real transparent information without any politics out there for poeple to have and make their own decisions. If you are low IQ, illiterate, and can't read research papers and data, then sorry.
