Some good bargains there. I just bought some shoes for a job interview from a charity shop for US $2.30 today. That was a good score. Just needs a quick polish.

I got a wonderful pair of Dr. Comfort at a resale store. Almost new. Most likely the original owner is dead but I'm not. Beware online shopping for these high dollar shoes coz the "sell you" people will mix in lots of other johnny come lately brands.

DenoPenno replies on Sep 29, 2022:

The extent of my dumpster diving is kinda like this. I might have a perfectly good oil filled electric heater with one bad roller or leg. This does not get thrown away. I look for the parts I need if others have thrown things away. Later I might give the heater away or take it to a relative.

Vaccinated for something does not make you immune but people do use the term immunization right along with vaccination. In other words, you might get the shot and still get the disease, but get a milder form of the disease. This is what is happening now with people I know who have already had Covid.

As for Kamala Harris, let me point out that before she was VP there were good posts of her language skills and how she thought and operated. She was impressive. Now she has the VP job and does what Biden says. VP's are not known for leadership on their own. She is also half black and half Indian. Nobody in the current political set wants a woman president, let alone a black one. Nobody wants all those parts we get from China switching to parts from India. Powers that be do not want this and yet we all know America will not and cannot go back to making our own parts for anything. Don't we see supremacy and the far right here? I know that I do.

@FvckY0u I agree but cannot ditch my insurance agent. The fact that she's a Trumper has a lot to do with her husband who also put her in place as the main agent. She was also a friend of my now dead sister back when they both worked in factories. I post things simply to report how they are and who knows, I might have some influence on a few of these people in time. I'm an activist but much of what I say could reach people in time. This does not hold true for everyone. I once posted in a god discussion that "we all know that god loves sports." This flew over the head of a woman who kept using my remark to prove that I really do believe in god. :)

I told my insurance agent about this and she had a fit. Of course Hunter Biden is guilty. He sold us out to China, she says. I guess she missed the Ukraine stories. What her and many others miss is the fact that Trump and Rudy produced a computer repair shop owner that claimed he had Hunter's laptop and it was left for repair and never picked up. The repair shop owner thought this was so important that he copied parts of the hard drive to a thumb drive. Letters of Hunter Biden were found and deemed authentic by the FBI who now has the laptop and thumb drive. They have said this is all under investigation and that is where the story stops for now. Should I laugh or cry? Oh, Jesus, Hunter! Why did you ever think your laptop was not important enough to be picked up?

Why the Kansas abortion vote is a win for democracy

This is because the repeal of Roe v Wade was not against abortion anyway. That whole move is all about white power and using religion as a crutch.

In reality our bodies have to build up an immunity to one degree or another and this occurs in time after we get a jab of a vaccine.

@LucyLoohoo I agree with you fully. My remark "more senile" is used to throw this back at Trump. As for Biden, I hear things like "the way he holds children or smells their hair" etc. and this is supposed to be proof of something. The hater saying it thinks they know more than the people around the man every day. There are T-shirts for kids that say "hidin' from Biden." Parents that put the children in these shirts are teaching their kids garbage. It's no wonder we are in the shape we are, and the believers thought Trump had been chosen to show us the way. Ignorant fairy tale beliefs here that are a dangerous mirage. There is no "miracle man."
