>Cindy Hamilton
 
I don't have a Nordic Track or a Smart Phone. I get too much exercise
caring for these twenty acres, even just in walking.
I don't have a Smart phone, instead I have a flip phone, but in the
3-4 years I have it I used it only once to dial my land line only to
see if it works. I simply have no one to call when I'm not home, and
no one can call me as I haven't given my number to anyone nor do I
ever turn my flip phone on. The flip phone is only for emergencies
like if my car breaks down as there are no more pay phones, least I
don't see any along roadways like there used to be at every rest stop
and some inbetween.
My wife has a smart phone and uses it all the time as she still
teaches so if we are out together then I have use of a smart phone,
but I've never used hers either. I don't think I still remember how
to use my flip phone... all I know is that the company bills my Visa
$6/month for a phone I never use and hope I never need.
 
I don't use my land line much either, mostly to call the pharmacy for
refills or to receive calls to remind me of doctor visits.
I don't have many people to phone to just chat, most everyone I grew
up with is pushing up daisies, the handfull still living call
occasionally and me them. I only have one phone number for someone at
sRFC who I rarely phone. Most of my neighbors only do texts, which I
can't recieve, and they don't do email... I believe that people who
only text are functionally illiterate, like most all grade choolers...
they can't write at all, they strugle to sign their name. They no
longer teach penmanship in school.... most kids in school can't write
cursive, they struggle to print. Today most people can only
communicate via keyboard, and it reads like from a seven year old who
only has perhaps fifty words in their entire vocabulary of primarily
four letter words.
 
Was I time I had dozens of pen pals all over the planet, all of who
exchanged missives written with fountain pens... most people nowadays
have never seen a fountain pen close up.

Let's assume he's your kind of president, whatever that requires. But
he's gay. Would you vote for him?

> Yes, I suspected that. And hoped it.
 
Like most places in the world the choices
never seem very good after they boil it
down to two candidates, I mean really,
Biden or Trump.
 
Many people here are fed up with the status quo
when it comes to how our government has been
operating so Trump is a horse of a different
color, so to speak.

Yes in a heartbeat, I have no problem with him
being gay..but I consider myself a compassionate conservative.
 
I'm sure the USA will eventually have a Lesbian
President, with a Gay Vice President, just not
in our lifetime.
 
We really are a very mixed progressive bunch
of people over here, Bruce.

  And in most cases that's just fine and dandy . But if I catch a
copperhead in areas I frequent he gets permanently relocated . Most end
up in a vulture or crow's belly . Black snakes get a pass unless they're
in the hen house . Once they find a way in you won't keep them out .

Makes sense to me too. It's really hard to go more than 3 miles here,
and not pass a grocery store. You have to go some 15-20 miles from me
and Gary, for that to stop.

Quit being so rude. My reading is fine. You snipped her post and
tried to add a smiley. The smiley doesn't make it 'ok'.

Context Gary. Context which you removed makes the difference.

RFC is very informative. I have learnt that the USA is built on
selfishness and that Americans only have one priority: money. What I
still have trouble figuring out is how roughly 50% of Americans can be
stupid enough to trust and elect Trump. I'm still working on that one.

American's penises are no larger than gruce's little tool. Except
for Popeye's gigantic 5 inch navy weenie.
 
It's all about how yoose use it. Like fucking your mother in law,
or humping a nun in the vatican, or fucking your aunt.
 
It's easy for homosexuals Like Popeye Katz. Sex is all he does.

I predict that most intelligent people will be cooking at home... even
if opening cans... that's the best way to have control of how clean
one eats... I think restaurnats are and have always been the
filthiest. Eating out is the very best way to contract a life
threatening disease... the vast majority of restaurant food is not
properly handled/prepared... most is too dangerous to be sent to land
fills.

It would be good for the environment if many people continue to work
from home after this crisis.

How about that Chinese restaurant you frequently frequent?

No, she was just confused. It's hard keeping up with so many goofballs
posting here and all their quirks.

Druce, People have routines and know them.
 
HAVE YOU NOW STARTED TO SNIFF DOG'S ASSES ??????
 
Order some knee pads for the smaller breeds Gruce.
 
I can offer you to come and sniff a mare's ass. She's a pretty
gentle animal, but don't try to grab her tits. She don't like that.

Yes, the first vaccine out only helped one to have a lesser attack of
shingles, this newer one claims in 'most' cases you won't even develop
it. Definitely worth having it.

Without China there's no shelter at home law,
so let us at least see that much from the get
go about this Coronavirus mess.
 
You can't lay this one on Trump, there is
no Administration in History that could
have been really prepared for this size
of a mess.
 
I'm not making any excuses for Trump being
an asshole or saying he couldn't have acted
faster, just saying what a load of shit
China planted on the world, this time and
what's next from them?!

Yup. That's when I signed up. Maybe they had offered it and I was unaware,
but as soon as I knew I could this I was onboard! Big convenience and a big
money saver on postage as well.

I shopped today. Everything is up 25 percent.
175 bucks, I am stocked. I was stocked before today but went for yeast. No luck.
Sure Save Gerritys. It is a supermarket.
Bought the last bottle of dishsoap, the last Ragu, the last aw rootbeer powder mix.
Seafood prices were stable. Maybe stable because it is expensive already and people cannot afford it. Im in Pennsylvania.
 
TP? 200 rolls like Sheldon. Crystal? Bought 3 cases large. Actually Bacardi rum.
Rum is the reason for root beer. Good combo for vodka too.
 
9 out of 10 wore masks, half homeade. My shit is real. I got lucky buying in the summer.
I pull a few from the bunker here and there. Working health care every day keeping people alive. Temp taken in my vehicle before allowed to work.
 
On a side note, I have never been fired for neglect and drive a gas suv. LOL.
