Who says walls don’t work?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 13, 2019:

However, the wall had armed guards on it all the time. Can you see that happening on the southern border? The Berlin wall was only 96 miles long. The southern border is several thousand miles. The wall was built by the East German government to keep people in. There is quite a difference in the scenarios here.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 13, 2019:

I used to cook a couple of pie pumpkins every year for the holiday meals. I'd freeze the pulp until needed. This year I cleaned out the freezer. I don't need to cook pumpkins for a while, or I need to make more pumpkin dishes and use that stuff up. I did make pumpkin soup this year, which was very good. I have frozen what I didn't eat for future consumption. Yeah, my freezer is full. :)

Howard Stern says Trump's border wall won't help

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 12, 2019:

“Even Donald’s not into this wall. It’s just he’s embarrassed because he can’t get it, and Rush Limbaugh shamed him,” he said, adding, “The whole concept of the wall got him elected. A lot of people could wrap their brain around it. But the wall ain’t going to solve s***. And it’s going to cost a fortune. Come on, it’s nonsense. It’s just nonsense.” Stern said that Trump doesn’t consult him anymore, though. “I got it figured out, but nobody talks to me. Donald doesn’t call me anymore because I didn’t vote for him.” And lest you think Stern was only critical of Trump, he also also criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s on-camera rebuttal to Trump’s address. Stern said they looked like “vampires” onscreen and “need media training.” He called their use of a teleprompter “a drag,” saying, “Just talk from the heart.” He said he hopes they watch their performance back and are “mortified” over it.

It is going to depend on what that felony is. My sister is a felon, she embezzled approximately $200,000 from her former employer. She's not the brightest light bulb, her employer was a lawyer... That type of felony doesn't concern me, except I will never lend my sister money. I would not date someone convicted of a violent crime.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 11, 2019:

Wealth is only one measure and not a reliable one. I am far more interested in how they have lived their life, did they make a difference. I'm interested in if they are a good person, if they have a good relationship with their kids (if they have kids.) Finances don't matter very much. So many people got messed over by the mess in 2008ish, some have never recovered. So to shorten my musing, I'd date nearly anyone that is a decent person. Up/Down doesn't come into my thinking.

Woman in vegatative state , apparently assaulted gives birth to a baby boy.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 10, 2019:

There are so many thing wrong with this situation. This child will likely never know it's mother. The biological father, if identified hopefully will go to prison, and even so at some point in time could get custody of the child. What an awful family tree. If medical science can cure the vegetative state this woman will have a child she didn't want and ties to a horrible person. If the rapist is identified he needs to be castrated at the very least.

When I weaned off I was very careful to go very slowly.
