Diogenes comments on Sep 10, 2018:

Gotta be informed, but then there is this matter of being drowned in 'all' the gory details. That should be balanced out with reading something that 'lifts a person up'.

My apologies to the chicken for the comparison.

"Foxes pay for it". "Vincente", or no other Mexican, will pay for it. Trump must still be sprinkling cocaine on his Wheaties for breakfast in the morning. Gotta get off to a good start.

Glue IS Yummy

Diogenes comments on Sep 10, 2018:

Trump being smart enough to know he has no control of the hole below his nose, and doing something pragmatic about it, like ingesting glue, is NOT one of the possibilities. On the other hand, I could see some of his rebelling sycophants doing it.

I have a hypothesis, and I’m curious about others in this group, since apparently we are all ...

Diogenes comments on Sep 10, 2018:

The reason I don't sleep at night is that my mind will not shut down. I lay down and think of things that happened decades ago. If I physically work to exhaustion, I can sleep.

Goodnight Kitty: this one is mine and I have a new camera so it could happen a little more often.

Diogenes comments on Sep 9, 2018:

Nice to see 'somebody' that feels safe enough to sleep without having one eye open.

Good point!

Diogenes comments on Sep 9, 2018:

I certainly don't read- and 'know' as much as I should- 'but I am no Donald James'- but that is not saying much, are there very many people who are totally unable to think?

This is right, minimum wage should allow a full time worker to pay rent, buy decent food, and so on.

Diogenes comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Yes, ingesting 'stomach-filler' and not freezing to death is not "living"; it is probably closer to slow dying. "Living" should include some pleasures, while letting us know that some things in life are a challenge.

Better by far you should forget and smile than you should remember and be sad.

Is this fair? We all know he can't read....

It is SO obvious that he is not capable to do any school work at the university level--- and too lazy to do it even if he could. It just shows one how warped the system is.

Trump has committed so many crimes, that when reading them off, it will take a second reader to finish the document, when the first reader gets worn out. Anyone not knowing that Trump is playing games, has a very small bag of marbles between their ears- and are just like Trump, always trying to out-Trump, Trump.

My experiences with insomnia are along the lines of the following: Hands friend shovel.

Never heard that quote before- a good one! My old mother, if she had a thousand good things happen that day, and one supposedly-bad thing, she would wear the topic of bad news to tatters. Although Shaw was an egomaniac, he was aware of some of the issues and had insight.

This is why I shed no tears for the passing of John McCain. [vox.com]

Diogenes comments on Aug 27, 2018:

Palin has been out of my thoughts for a long time- but this review certainly was accurate and to the point. To put it bluntly, "McCain did not, in the smallest way, vet his running mate, and it was a moronic choice." If Palin had become president, I can imagine her husband skinning a moose in the Oval Office. 'His' claim to fame was to win a snowmobile race. "Edjurkation, w'ad is thet?" But, after saying so many negative things, it is to be remembered that he did serve his country- and in the end, he did counter the current Moron for Life.

John McCain will lie in state at the US Capitol. Donald Trump will lie in any state he visits.

Diogenes comments on Aug 27, 2018:

Good point!

@rolandsmartin: We have a mass shooting in Jacksonville.

Diogenes comments on Aug 27, 2018:

Well that is just more swill from the Moron for Life; at least he has been that moron for 70 some years, and his stupidity seems to be becoming more energized. I haven't followed what he has said about McCain but I am sure it will be slavishly fawning----- to show he has the ability to show respect! Then nanoseconds later, showing his limited attention span, he will gush volumes of swill about the same man.

Diogenes comments on Aug 18, 2018:

I just have no answers. Again I awoke at 03:00. By 11:00, I will be very tired, and may sleep for an hour. Yes, after a few nights of this, I may pass out from exhaustion and go to sleep--- only to start the cycle all over again.

Stop judging him!

Diogenes comments on Aug 18, 2018:

Trump's clown act is no longer shocking- it has committed the cardinal sin; it is VERY BORING. He should do something really shocking- take a break, and for the first time in his life, tell the truth about something. Can anyone imagine the physical pain that he would go through trying to do that one?

I think I am back on the insomnia train :)

Diogenes comments on Aug 17, 2018:

Well I have been up since 03:00- awake since about 01:30. I'm in a coffee shop having a coffee. So tired -but I can't rest. Lack of sleep is quite a trap.

This makes me think of all the teeth whitening commercials from a couple of years ago.

Perhaps this has been posted before. I like it though.

Diogenes comments on Aug 16, 2018:

So for the constant ass-hole that invites confrontation, forget about "that offends me" and just break his nose. Forget about wasting words.

Drugs for insomnia.

Diogenes comments on Aug 14, 2018:

I am NOT into the drug-bit. PLEASE, do not be offended. I am older than 'gaud', so I must take some- and, yes I did not sleep last night. I quit taking blood pressure pills- and everyday that I do a hard work-out at fitness my blood pressure is one or two points from optimal and I sleep better too. I am taking pills for gout, (haven't had a gout attack in five years) and if I stopped drinking a couple of beers a day, I could probably stop those. My point: let nutritious food and enjoyable living be your "drug". And no, I don't have all the answers

Do you think tRump is genuinely mentally ill?

Diogenes comments on Aug 13, 2018:

Why is there even a question about his sanity? Just how much evidence is needed? The cardinal question is where have such a large distempered pack of his supporters come from?

Remember those campaign promises

"His golf game is improving", Uh-huh, that must mean that he even lies on the golf course!

Do you think tRump is a racist?

Why is there such a question---- when the answer is SO apparent?

“Yeah, I have a problem with the absolutism of that.

Diogenes comments on Aug 10, 2018:

I think it is willpower too- but more than that it is a matter of looking at reality. Replacing that which we 'think' we need, with something that is better. Booze, or drugs cost a lot of money, which for many, makes life hard. Any tranquility is short lived. Call overeating, "gluttony" and think about how it makes a person look.

9/08/2018 - Diet Diary - Thursday, closing in on the weekend.

Diogenes comments on Aug 10, 2018:

I know what I should do- I just need the will to do it. Along with depression, comes the stress eating. I know also that I should 'enjoy' my meals: some spectacular veggies, that taste wonderful. An "All you can eat", restaurant, to me is such a gross idea; it is a celebration of sloth. Long ago I lost 46 pounds- and have kept it off, but I still want to lose another 20 pounds, which would bring me to a normal, athletic weight. I certainly am not anorexic. I know that fat is the normal in this current, strange world- while constant hunger and starvation are what is inflicted on the rest.

My insomnia seems to come in waves.

Diogenes comments on Aug 10, 2018:

Yes, getting a few hours of normal sleep seems to be an exception for me. But then I am so tired about 1 pm. Maybe if I could stay awake in the day I would be tired at night.

I've read your bio. Congrats; way to go. I was born when gaud was a teenager- so I too do not move as fast as I used to do. I quit smoking (get this) about 45 years ago. In the spring of 2017 there was a month-long machine rowing contest, with 24 members, at fitness- I came first with 370 km. It's amazing that some people can't name their most valuable asset. Their car? Their castle? Their large bank account? "It is my opinion" (if that matters),if they don't try to live a healthy, productive life, they will die early and have no access to any of this worthless junk. Enjoy your day

God hates porn?

Diogenes comments on Aug 4, 2018:

I have stopped watching porn- the acting is so bad; all the actors must have breathing problems, the way they overdo the panting. But I can't figure it out. A program may come on TV and before the program starts there is a DIRE warning, "Sexual content and may offend some viewers." When the news comes on there is no warning, and there are scenes of blood and guts all over the place- little children maimed. Gaud-dude, the dude that fornicated with the so-called Virgin Mary, can send me to his theme park, Hell, for having sex, watching sex--- but he won't get me for 'enjoying murder and the creation of misery'. That would be rather sickening.

Diogenes comments on Jul 23, 2018:

First of all I am in Canada- but working for justice applies to everyone throughout the whole world. You say you are a "Socialist"; glad to hear that. Most of Europe has some form of a socialist government, and things work well. Yes, there are exceptions. But then we need to get down to details- there needs to be taxes collected, to pay for social services. THAT, of course, is not what DJT is doing. He is 'cutting' social services and medical. If, for example, he cut taxes for 50 people of the middle class, hypothetically, they would buy 50 pairs of shoes. He gives the rich a huge tax cut (that will increase the national debt); they too buy shoes, 10 pair- for themselves, and pocket the rest. And gotta have a huge military expenditure, "because wars are fun". (Wonder how his "heel spurs" are.)

Although Trump, with his nanosecond attention span, does not have the ability to form a plan, he is steadfastly destroying the US, each and every time.

He is so tired ?!

Diogenes comments on Jun 1, 2018:

The point is, that Trump is so OPENLY breaking the law. Trump's Mar-a-Lago is NOT part of the American Government, and to be paid for with citizen's taxes, while making such a huge profit for Trump. Camp David is the presidential retreat. This theft is so open; not even the slightest attempt to cover it up.

Watch out, we're in batshit crazy mode...

I have very many regrets for the bad and 'evil' (yes) choices I've made- and now that I know the correct options, I am too old to make changes. I If Nature provides a second life as a human, and one could remember the faults of the first life, would there be the courage to enact what was good and just? Many 'good people' die some very horrible deaths. That's why Trump will live forever- or it will, at least, seem like that.
