Re: The Southern Border

Do you know what it costs to come over that border from Mexico (safely with a coyote)? Average is US $14,000. And that doesn't guarantee anything once on this side. Kinda wild when you think about it -- how desperate does one must be to spend that. Yes, I know many, many who have done that. On this ...

Re: The Great Days of Airline Travel

I definitely like flying First Class! Yeah, it's way different than domestic air coach seating. (serving me wine pre-flight) But, you either have to be wealthy and willing to pay for it, or a frequent flyer where they qualify you for a free bump to an open seat. I never paid for first class-- just ...

Re: The Great Days of Airline Travel

I really dislike airline travel. Always have. I feel like cattle. My most prominent memory is not a good one. I was flying somewhere, with a connection through Minneapolis-St Paul. My flight was late getting in and I had to run to catch my connection on a separate concourse. That airport is huge and...

Re: Hijack This Thread

Very confusing. 15 years ago, Means was a 20yo. He wasn't a citizen then (when did he get citizenship??) and that conviction then (the child in the stroller) should have had immigration bounce him after his sentence was completed. I've seen immigrants bounced for way far less. :mad2: Haitians get sp...

It's actually pretty decent because it's not so much super hero stuff (which I gave up on) and it's drama and story. I'm into season #2.

Re: would you support business that said you can only come in if you were fully vaccinated

No. That's like a Whites Only sign. No it isn’t, that’s ridiculous. Vaccinations are already required for US schools and I have never seen someone equating that to a whites only sign. There are also already vaccines required for travel to various places, it’s hardly a new thing to have such require...

Very wealthy people are weird. Raising money for a 'rescue dogs' charity is all fine and good ... but a 'runway show'? wt heck is that about? How about just asking for the donations, not doing creepy ass stuff? -- that's how it works in real people world.

Re: Gay Marriage / LGBTQ Rights / Equality Act

I'm going to make a quick comment being LGBTQ. Lindsey Graham is gay. We don't call him out because of that. We call him out because of his voting record against LGBTQ citizens. For me, the coming-out didn't occur until my mid-30s (because I was scared). I drank an entire bottle of wine while making...

Re: Assault on the Capitol (DC)

Normal CVE won’t work in this case.

I believe we can, and are, changing heart and minds. Even m...

Re: have you received your vaccine yet?

Perhaps already posted but Flordia lowered the eligibility to 50+ starting Monday. Mixed reactions from our citizens, some elders who are still trying to get appointments.
