And then there is, "Learn another language or are you too afraid of arrest." Gets 'em every time. Learning Spanish is easy. & people love it if you try & speak some. Read the bi lingual signs everywhere to add to your vocabulary.

Cults. Seek to isolate the members from the outside world, including family & friends. Use aberrant methods to control the group, peer pressure, sleep deprivation, food allocation, public humiliation. Generally one personality as a leader but not always exclusively. Requiring strict adherence to rigid rules. Odd requirements such as conforming appearance, constant companions, sexual favors.

I don't use cat litter. I just put some newspaper in the tray, & change it everytime my cat uses it. To transition your cat just use less & less litter until there is only paper. Or you will have to change the litter more often. Use very little litter & change it every day,

Rome wasn't destroyed/disrupted in a day. With the tariffs on all things China, Wal-mart will suffer. The tariffs on our good neighbors & allies will hit our exports & imports. as they become too expensive for us to order or be ordered by overseas markets.. Steel won't be delivered because construction costs are already going up.Caterpillar has taken a hit in the stock market as they are steel dependant.I hope this economist is wrong as I do not wish unemployment on our trucking industry or a decline in the construction industry as it fuels the entire economy. The cheap stuff from China will no longer be so cheap. As the President says, "We shall see."

Mooolah comments on Jun 12, 2018:

I was at a dinner in a public restaurant with 8 other people. One person proceeded to tell the most horrendous, atrocious Holocaust "joke". Now I have a warped sense of humor, but a "joke" of this type was so inappropriate in the context of the evening that in order not to make a scene I merely Stopped eating, excused myself, left the table & left the entourage. Perhaps if told in private I would have cringed but endured it & would have denied any humor in it. But with a table of 8 I merely left the table, told my date I was leaving & why. My date remained & I departed. I keep in mind what someone suggested to me. "What would Jackie Kennedy do?" I believe she would have done the same.

Looks like I'm in good company, has anyone else tried magic mushrooms or LSD? [news.harvard.edu]

Mooolah comments on Jun 6, 2018:

Psilocybin is a much more enjoyable mind vacation than LSD but I am only speaking for myself. In the right circumstances & the right dose, hallucinogenic mushrooms are more visually pleasant, less intense, less in duration with less of a crash. A far more gentle landing & preferable to the synthetic LSD. Life is about experiences & I had plenty in my youth. I seek less experiences as I cross them off of my bucket list. The phobia the Nixon administration introduced into government research on these chemicals is finally waining. The use of these hallucinogenics in a guided controlled environment is finding a useful place in the treatment of severe PTSD.
