Saturday Morning Coffee Break

sat 2 27 coffee (1).jpg

(Not the mug to use when working from home)

***


The Saturday morning deep thought: Apparently RSVP’ing to a wedding invitation “Maybe next time,” isn’t the correct response.

Good morning Horde. Just a couple of rules here in this open thread.
Rules? Of course there are rules!

1A) No pulling the 'ettes hair.
1B) No you can't use the inkwells.
2) No running with sharp objects.
3) Chew with your mouths closed.
4) Be nice to one another.
5)Clothing optional.
6)Opine and/or bloviate away
7) Have a great weekend!

59 I bought a '99 Ford F-250 pickup with a brand new snow plow a few years back, thinking it would be good to have something to plow the restaurant and our homes. Back then, I had a full time maintenance guy who took care of everything at the stores and houses.

Well, he left for a construction job and I never replaced him, so we hired out the snow plowing and the truck just sat. A young guy from the business next door asked about it and after assessing that he didn't have any money, I sold it to him without the plow for $4000 at $50 per week. That worked for about the first 5 or 6 weeks.

Now, it's been months since I've seen any money so I went over looking for him yesterday. His boss said he's off for a week because his kid is in the hospital.

Fuck.

So much for that truck.

I don't share your feelings. I live in Wisconsin and hate winter. It would help if I skied, I'm sure (we do have our bunny hills to ski on). Or skated. I'm of the age where I look at snow and ice and think of falls not fun, but I wish I enjoyed it like you do. I'd be much happier.

104 No more mandatory 14 day, voluntary only. Even opened up indoor dining at 25%. Posted by: Tinfoilbaby at February 27, 2021 09:29 AM
We just went the other way after being back open with 50% capacity after a grand total of 10 DAYS of being off of curbside only. Apparently our mayor was flipping out about variants, but mainly I think it was he was getting a ton of flack about people driving from the Toronto area to eat and shop here.

Boy, how terrible.

Now we are going to remain open at 25% capacity (that'll show COVID!) but all restaurants and hair salons have to close again just after they started to gear up for in-person business.

So, so stupid.

Lots of morons and 'ettes have talked about "losing" people to leftism, and now it's my turn. I feel like my friend died some time ago and no one told me. If that makes any sense.

190 I've had the 1st shot - Moderna - and am scheduled for the 2nd shot in a couple weeks. The first shot made me sick to my stomach. I basically got it because my daughter dragged me to the hospital and shoved me to the head of the line. She's one of the nurses doing the vaccinations. I just wanted the nagging to stop.

197 Mike, I'm not going to get the vaccine unless my work requires me to, but that's because I'm fairly young (3, in pretty good health, and have no risk factors whatsoever. (I've also probably been exposed at this point. My youngest is still in daycare and has been exposed multiple times, including to a teacher in his room, and he's often a carrier for whatever is going around.) I should be at the end of any vaccination priority schedule. If you have risk factors, it's very different.

To me, there is something else, and more important, going on here. Okay, your guy loses his job, or financial circumstances drastically change. And you don't reach out to your creditors, especially if you have a personal relationship with them, to inform them of the unexpected trouble?

That is a sign of something bigger than just finances.

Now I have to confess a bit of admiration for those folks over at the Chan place that got the Lefties to freak out over the OK hand sign. (haven't heard much about that lately, have you?) So I'm wondering what perfectly normal, every day thing can we make Liberals freak out about and disavow, making their lives just a bit crappier than they already are?

How about white wedding dresses? First, white = purity is clearly racist and the whole marrying only a pure woman is a plot by the Patriarchy to control womynx bodies or some such bull shite. It seems like an easy sell to me and I'm almost surprised it hasn't happened already. Two ducks and go have next to nothing to say about racist wedding dresses, so this might be fresh territory upon which to shine the laser pointer of stupidity. I think they'd go for it. I want all the Liberal women to burn their wedding photos as sign of anti racism.

219 Seems like you've got 3 options jwest.
1) Give the guy the title to the truck as a charitable gesture
B) Let the guy use the truck while his kid is in the hospital, with a moratorium on payments, but with expectation that payments resume at some point.
III) Repossess the truck.
But I think you knew that.
Posted by: Muldoon at February 27, 2021 10:10 AM (m45I2)
I had a friend go through the legal ramifications of allowing someone to drive a vehicle they owned for an extended period of time. All was well until said person had a head on collision with someone who was killed in the crash. They spent a year in court being sued by the victim's family and insurance company being held responsible since they still owned said vehicle as title never transferred. Court decided the driver was not responsible for the accident , but it took thousands of dollars of hiring experts, and additional specialty lawyers to get through it .
Lesson learned? DO not hold title on vehicles you allow someone else to use unless it's a child etc. and your insurance is fully on board. And if you sell a vehicle, demand full cash payment up front prior to releasing vehicle to them and transferring title.

Good for you. They may not listen, but you wrote. I agree: I think Menendez is the wild card. In the letter to him I emphasized the fact that he doesn't want parents involved in transition decisions. I would imagine the heavily Latino district he represents would not all be on board with that-if they knew.

Giving it to him outright is not a good plan.
I'd have him sign a promissory note, with some modicum of interest, and sign the title over.
You can then decide what to do with the note, but the onus of still owning the truck officially is gone.

Fenelon, Dr. Levine is a male, and will be until he is pushing up crabgrass. That is a scientific fact, and as a scientifically-trained person, he should know that. Since he apparently believes that he is female and dresses as one, and poses as one, the only logical conclusion is that he is batshit insane, and should not, therefore, be holding any kind of public office.

They're going after churches and synagogues for not officiating marriages between same-sex couples in which the bride or groom is trans. I've read three different articles about the conflict, particularly with an attempt to explain the "holy" marriage away.

Funny thing is that the Catholic Church has rules in place for trans-men wanting to take holy orders. Basically, "no, but here's an alternate consecrated life open to everyone."

Some churches are only conducting marriages if you are a member of the church. (Church membership rules apply). Some churches are getting out of the marriage business altogether. You go get your official marriage certificate from the Justice of the Peace, then go have a religious ceremony in your church if desired. That way the Church is not performing the actual marriage.

That's probably the number one thing I'll tackle if I ever do start trying to make my own clothes. I do have a few casual skirts in the meantime, but I don't have many tops that go well with them (tops that fit me are also really hard to find).

Look at Lands' End. They have a good selection of styles & sizes at reasonable prices. They went downhill for a while after putting a Italian woman from a big fashion house in charge. She tried to gear everything to 6-foot tall, size 0 runway models. However, things have improved once she got canned.

I was giving the P30 to a guy in exchange for work. Let him and his pregnant girlfriend stay here, gave them food and some cash to get back on their feet.

He didn't do any work, left food to rot in the garage and shed. Took off without saying thanks with the Dewalt drill combo I'd just bought. It's a small price to pay to never see him again. Not doing any work is a big red flag.

378 Keep in mind there are no clinical studies on the long term COVID vaccine effects. None, and anyone claiming otherwise is lying. They just don't know. They've assumed based on other mrna products and studies.

The vaccine in NOT right for every person. It should be based on your personal health situation. It's why they don't recommend it to people under 18. Even if you have other health issues, depending on how severe they are the potential vaccine effects (i.e. Moderna #2) could be debilitating to your overall health.

You should really take the time to educate yourself on what this vaccine does, and what the potential adverse impacts are. Make an informed decision before you run around with the other lemmings trying to get a shot likes it's a winning lottery ticket.

They had to wine and dine him at first class restaurants several times to negotiate the details then the fee was outrageous. A Jewish rabbi. Who'd a thunk it?

413 If it weren't for COVID, Levine would have remained in obscurity as PA's Physician General. He presented as fully male during medical school, later married and had two kids after medical school, while pursuing a career as a Pediatrician, adolescent medicine specialist and eventually a niche practice as head of a teen transgender "department" at Penn State. Somewhere along the way, probably in his late 40's (my best guess)) he began presenting himself as a woman. He was selected by the governor as Pennsylvania's Physician General, largely on the basis of his transgenderism rather than any particular qualifications as a public health expert.

Along comes COVID and all of a sudden he is in the national spotlight. He is being used by the radical Left, who care not a whit for him as a person or his qualifications for the job. He is useful to them solely because he presents himself as a woman. Hell, they probably like the fact that he is homely to boot. If it provokes revulsion in the general population, so much the better.

420 If the Horde is representative of the larger vast rightwing conspiracy. It seems only a less than tiny percentage know anything about Q-anon.
Which leads me to believe it's a lie conceived by the media and the Democrats.

I think that's accurate. Q-anon is different from 4chan, right?

423 My paranoia in general is up three notches above 'crazy', so I will wait to take the damn shiny new vaccine until I have to.

For me, I would say it's more that my trust meter is stuck at zero and most likely not fixable. Especially when it comes to anything even remotely related to Covid.

434 Q-Anon be all around in the dark - Q-Anon be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, Q-Anon be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, Q-Anon be there. Q-Anon be in the way guys yell when they're mad. Q-Anon be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - Q-Anon be there, too.

455 Well, Qanon was a thing. It was trolls. Some I'm sure were Leftists dangling bait, but from what I can tell, it was mostly shitposters... Guys seeing just how far up to the edge of lunacy they could push certain people, like a certain guy who flounced from here.

If they're still doing their thing, it's to a crowd of like nine people who can still find a way to #TrustThePlan. By January 20th, it was all "Sidney Powell has genetically engineered an actual Kraken. Trump will ride it down the National Mall on Inauguration Day and announce the secret indictments from its back, right after it swallows Joe Biden whole."

457 Well, all coffee'd up, and ready to meet the day. Went on a long Jeep ride with friends yesterday. The desert was beautiful, but we were on some pretty rough roads, and the shaking was fierce sometimes. When we hit the pavement near Superior, I was feeling kind of unwell. Got back to the house here, and went straight to bed at 7:30
Feel fine now, though, and I am going to go and get a big breafast at a cafe.
