@RavenCT Good to know. Usually I had only one cat or two cats and one litter box. Since I got Zelda I've had two boxes as the vet recommended. For a while the litter boxes were on different floors, but that wasn't working for me. So they are in the basement laundry room which is the perfect location for me, and apparently them. I have to wonder how they decide what to do in each box, do they communicate? What criteria is used for the box on the right being primarily for stools. And yes, odd thing do take up head space from time to time.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 13, 2019:

@Trajan61 I disagree. You haven't seen a major exodus yet so far because of Der Donald. Most people just want a job, a home, and to raise their families in peace. Der Donald wants you to believe it is rapists and other criminals coming in. It isn't. It is families who want to protect their children. They want to work and they are not afraid of hard work. I am not afraid of people who's skin is darker than mine (well, that's about everybody) nor of people who speak a different language. I know how hard it is to move to a strange place. Those trying to come to the US are motivated, dedicated, and very brave. Yes, I am a compassionate liberal, but I am also clear eyed. The US has always been a refuge for the downtrodden. "Give me your tired, your poor", has been our guidance. That is what made us the greatest nation. We cannot be that again until we return to that mission.

The conflicts in their homelands is a result of the US meddling under GB1 and GB2.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 11, 2019:

@RavenCT I agree, it is your female conditioning. I have had to work hard to overcome that myself. And there were a few times when I would point it out to the gals I worked with, especially those senior to me. Own your statements. Good for you for giving him some guidance. He did come off as naive which is out of context for his stated age. However, if he is Autims/Aspergers then that would make sense. My former brother in law was a challenged individual but fairly independent. Sometimes he'd do stuff that just made us cringe. Life is harder for some.

Ivanka Trump is reportedly under consideration to lead The World Bank

jerry99 comments on Jan 11, 2019:

This is humor? (Can't read the article without turning off my ad blocker, so can't read the article).

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 11, 2019:

Sadly it is not satire. President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who works as a White House adviser, is one of the names being considered as a replacement for The World Bank's outgoing president, Jim Yong Kim, the Financial Times reported Friday. The DC-based World Bank, founded after World War II to finance economic-development projects in emerging economies, has traditionally been led by an American. Kim's sudden departure from the bank came as a surprise to employees and leaves the bank's future uncertain. The Trump administration, which has been wary of and even hostile toward Western-led international institutions like the World Bank, will now be tasked with submitting a recommendation to the bank's board. Other possible American nominees to lead the bank include undersecretary of the Treasury for International Affairs David Malpass, US Agency for International Development director Mark Green, and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, the Financial Times said. Unlike some of the other proposed candidates, Ivanka does not have a background in international trade economics, but she has been a businesswoman. Before joining the White House, she worked as a vice president for acquisitions at the Trump Organization. She also directed her own fashion line, the Ivanka Trump brand, which was shuttered last summer. President Trump also floated Ivanka as replacement for Haley's position, but ended up nominating State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert after concerns of nepotism were raised. "So nice, everyone wants Ivanka Trump to be the new United Nations Ambassador. She would be incredible, but I can already hear the chants of Nepotism! We have great people that want the job," Trump tweeted at the time. A spokeswoman for the Treasury Department told the Financial Times that the department been sent "a significant number of recommendations for good candidates" and was "beginning the internal review process" to choose a candidate to put forth to The World Bank's board.
