People believe what they want to believe.

I'm especially impressed with her work on her sole major task, fixing the problem on the southern boarder.

I wasn't spied on but did get turned down when I was looking to change my insurance (in the Keys) recently. My house has a metal roof which is about the most resistant roof to hurricane winds and deterioration. Metal roofs typically last for 50 years or more, and mine is about 25 years old. I was told by the insurance company that it was too old. I just went ahead and dropped hurricane windstorm ins along with flood. Just ridiculously expensive.

Hurricane? There was a hurricane? Well, we did get a LOT of rain. Had several inches in the street and our driveway. Also had a couple acre swamp in the back yard. Headed down to the Keys middle of next week for 10 days and of course on the news tonight they are predicting another system to be near the southern tip of FL by late next week. Might get exciting...

Just tonight my wife yelled to me to come get a lizard out of the bathroom. We live in Florida and there are those little lizards everywhere. No big deal. Got him cornered and with a gentle pinch to the back I picked him up and took him outside. I've found if you don't take them outside they may live a week or two, then you find them dead and dried up in a corner.

Seen that one before. Usually they have a girlfriend... Sorry to hear about all you are going through with Uncle T-B. I'm getting much the same with my 91 year old mother (I'll let you fix the p-math, ha). Her major problem now is her knees making it painful to walk, although she still pushes herself to go on 20 min walks 2x daily. She went to the doctor this week and he has convinced her she needs 2 knee replacements. Preparations are under way for her to get it done in 2 months after approval from her other doctors. She texted me today and this was the message "Y TV CD TV V C son Vu by B v Ben V zoo..." Still trying to come up with the translation.

You know what they say, "You can put lipstick on a chimp, but..."

OK, will get right on it grandpa.

I've noticed a lot of your "too tired" and "too sick" for rubias posts lately. Maybe just too old? LOL

Still hating my computer.

I hate my computer.

Correction: Whirlpool is not related to Frigidaire/Electrolux in any way. Separate companies, however Whirlpool does make Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and many of the Kenmore products among others.

I should have said that Costco was great and there was no problem cancelling the order. I thought I had cancelled but they arrived to deliver the fridge. I said "you must not have gotten the message...." They said "no problem. We'll take care of it." And that was it.

Just about 3 weeks ago we had an issue with our refrigerator. It's a French door fridge and the wife apparently didn't close one door all the way. Got up in the morning and heard a lot of noise from the fridge. Sounded like the compressor was working really hard, and it was loud. Talked with a friend that has an ac and appliance repair business and he thought it was freezing up and told me to unplug it for about 12 hours. Did that but nothing changed. Figured it would need a new compressor, but decided not to put that kind of money into an 8 year old Whirlpool (more about that in a bit) so very quickly ordered a new one from Costco that could be delivered in 3 days. Next morning I got up and noticed the fridge was quiet again and cooling fine. I hoped that by the time we returned from work it would be loud again to make me feel better about already ordering a new one. Nope, it was perfect when we returned home. Oh well, at least we will have a new, $1600 fridge. had to go to Lowes that night so I looked at fridges to see what I had ordered, another Whirlpool essentially the same as we had except they changed the ice maker and I hated the useless narrow shelves now on the door. Liked the similar LG better, but we had a bad experience with an LG washer. What to do? Discovered the ice maker in our fridge was no longer working and checked the error codes. Seems that was the source of our original problem. Ordered a new ice maker for $80 and installed it last weekend. Everything is great now. When we built this house 24 years ago it came with builder grade GE appliances, and maybe they were one step up from builder grade. The dish washer was garbage and I replaced that after one year. Never liked the side by side fridge. Freezer side was too narrow, and the ice maker was horrible. When we decided to replace it I checked Consumer Reports and they said the French door Samsung was the best, and that's what I bought. BIG mistake. Just after the warranty expired it died. Internal refrigerant leak and was advised to just by a new fridge. Went with the Whirlpool even though it wasn't top rated by Consumer Reports but it is made in the US and parts are easy to get. No real complaints. Seems like most manufacturers have trouble with ice makers. Thankfully it was easy to fix even with the "in the door" ice and water.

One of my patients goes to TCU (God knows why). Is that school as bad? Sorry. Had to edit as at first I thought she went to Texas Tech. Then I remembered.

We had a similar problem in SW FL after hurricane Irma. I was without power for 2 weeks which was (somewhat) understandable as we were in the eye, and I'm in a bit of a rural area where all homes have at least 2 1/2 acres or more. Of course we were lower on the list for reconnection, but FPL did a decent job with the help of a lot of out of town and out of state linemen. In the next county, Lee county, LCEC (Lee County Electric Co-op) refused to allow for any outside assistance until the Governor put a stop to their nonsense. I don't get it...

Do you have a link to this info?

I'll bet she won't skate through unopposed. It's going to be interesting. Special K... That's perfect!

And when they realize she can't beat Trump, wonder if they will force her out before the convention.

Won't be a problem for LPR. Global entry approval can be ridiculously strict. My wife and I were denied Global Entry because my wife, who had already become a citizen, had tried to buy a watch on ebay and it turned out it was an unapproved knock off being sent from China or somewhere in that area. She didn't know until we received a letter from customs in Anchorage. We refused delivery and thought that was the end of it. A couple of years later we applied for the Global Entry and at the interview I was asked about buying a watch from China. I replied that I had not (I rarely wear a watch) and was asked the same question a second time. That is when I remembered the issue with my wife. We explained the problem, but since we were accused of importing unapproved items we were denied. I have found, at least for us, our returns from numerous international trips were quick and no problem even without Global entry. We just went with TSA precheck alone for that benefit getting through security.

Half the time I feel like updates are done for no good reason, and often make good software unnecessarily complicated and cumbersome.

Oh my. Randy Savage is back! LOL

You know me too well. Happy birthday!🎂

🤮 and 💩

Is anyone surprised? The left has tried every other way to keep Trump from running. I guess killing him is the last resort.
