  1. I'm not surprised. There's 'staged' conspiracies around every single president or famous person that has ever been shot or died, moon landings, 9/11, covid, you name it... conspiracies in vogue now. Doesn't make them any less stupid. I haven't been down to that level personally, so don't know the layout there, only that he managed to use the unguarded stairwells with ease which makes sense. Doesn't sound like he planned this very well, so it's always bewildering the varying levels of success a complete idiot can accomplish.
  2. Well I dunno, all we know is he certainly wasn't shot and apparently he didn't actually shoot anyone either (friendly fire). So the only reason he was stopped was because he fell down himself. All very lucky I suppose.
  3. Well... maybe? But like... how exactly did they stop him? I mean it seems they fired quite a few shots, but missed him entirely? He was not shot at all, so he stopped either because he tripped or because he was luckily stupid?
  4. It is odd isn't it, that different brands of milk really do taste different (though they all taste like rot to me). I would gather it is a change in farm supplier and the cow is eating something different unless of course they have sold you a bad supply. After so many years of living here my husband can no longer consume any dairy.. not even the lactose free it seems. Thankfully there are many good alternatives in nut and soy milks.
  5. Do you think there is anything specific to prevent anyone from entering a hotel anywhere in the US with a gun without issue? I've been very loyal to Hilton for years. That hotel in particular has about 1000 rooms.. it is a vast place, and you can walk all over without ever encountering anyone, which is like many of their hotels. A few I've been in have penthouse apartments for people that want to live in a prime location for a price and value privacy. For people with particular perks, special access card or phone will get you all over their hotels without ever being noticed. Some you can check in/check out on the app. That has led to me observing all sorts of crazy going on. All the guy had to do was check in days or weeks before. Don't know if he did any sort of reconnaissance beforehand, but he wouldn't need to leave the hotel to encounter any checkpoints and there are ways to get out alternative exits without ever being seen. By all accounts for guests coming in to the event, they barely glanced at the tickets and the metal detector was apparently right near the basement conference room entrance. The hotel is only going to provide so much security, the rest is up to the Secret Service, and well.. not sure how great they did here. The only reason no one was hurt or killed was due to the guy's stupidity.
  6. He was truly a terrible person, and it is quite disgusting how a few voices in politics have handled talking about this situation.
  7. For our part and for the people that we personally know, it is not a cultural thing at all. If the author of the article would like to provide for the economic and healthcare burden and well-being of elderly, then my husband and I will get on to tackling that 'problem'. 😉 But FWIW, I don't think having children is a problem that needs to be tackled, children should only be had when they are truly wanted and desired, loved, safe, and secure.
  8. But that's the thing though... how is this guy talented exactly? He's ruthless and scuzzy. He's a serial adulterer (as several of them are in the admin). His expertise is threats and swinging. There's quite a few of these types in politics.. like Schlapp is one of them too. What happened to honesty and integrity and ethics? That's what makes a good and talented man. As for Bondi's potential replacement... I've heard Paxton is being floated... but there we go again, another scandal prone adulterer. The sleaze is what kicked quite a few republicans out of my heavy red leaning town. We didn't care about the R next to their names, we were absolutely sick of the affairs, lying, and corruption.
  9. Thing is she's not quite.... out and neither is he apparently? She's just being put out to pasture in some other 'job'. The bogus grifty gift contracts to their friends Congress is trying to probe about are still in place too. So the grift will continue on the taxpayer dollar. Corey is.... quite simply a terrible person, and people have known this for years. As for Bondi, I hear rumblings she's next.
  10. It's been going on for many years, some said that it was the biggest open secret in DC. Thing is the guy has a bunch of mistresses and potential.. misters so I hear. 😉It's fine if they want to swing and if their spouses are okay with it.... just not on the taxpayers dime.
  11. I take it you have not seen the hearing and the questions Sen. Kennedy asked of the president about her responses who emphatically told him that Noem was lying to congress yesterday...? I don't think there was a single Republican that was happy with her answers. And surely you have also heard about her on-going affair with a person currently still employed by the WH?
  12. I think the problem was yesterday, in which she was eviscerated during a public hearing and could not deny many of the accusations against her. During that hearing she claimed the president told her to do something or signed off on a large sum of money. The president says he did not do this. So the bigger issue is, has she perjured herself before congress by lying about the president or is the president lying? If she's going to now be the 'fall guy' for infidelity and behavior unbecoming, what about the person she's having an affair with?
  13. You know those times when you look at your spouse and you say "hey honey you don't look so well"... and they go "Nah I'm totally 100% fine!" and you know that they are just full of BS...? (And he went and ran a 5k like this!) Finally wakes me up in the middle of the wee hours and tells me yep he's not fine. He is sweaty and delirious, doubled over with back and abdominal pain. Get him to the hospital and they are concerned about the very high BP and heart rate, but by this point he can't even sit down and is bent over gripping a chair like someone going into labor. Still it's pandemonium at the hospital and there are no gurneys, wheelchairs, or beds to be found... so after bloodwork we're asked 'can you walk?' and he gives a stoic sure! So we're marched through the halls for five minutes to get scans. What did we determine? Fever. Infection but thankfully no perforation. Dehydration. IV administered by a nurse tech so green that says "I'm not good with needles" and is not very inspiring as I watch her hit something and blood starts spewing on the floor. The doctor is the same guy that saw him years ago for the same problem, and says all these meds should fix him up again but he should probably think about getting an operation in the future, where they cut out the diseased area and put you back together. His family history and relapses are enough to consider it even at his age... the issue apparently will get worse the older he is. They send him home with a lot of pills. Since he is still in severe pain he takes the painkillers they've given him.. so yesterday he goes through all the motions - giddy, sleepy, completely stoned, followed by something that seems a lot like withdrawal, because he said the room was spinning and then ended up shaking and retching on the floor for hours. Anyway he will not take those painkillers ever again. He is better today, so I guess the antibiotics are working. I am tired.🫠😔
  14. Today the FBI has posted photos and recovered video from Mrs. Guthrie's doorbell camera. It shows the kidnapper. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/authorities-release-surveillance-photo-potential-subject-nancy-guthrie-rcna258356 Truly terrifying.
  15. Thankfully back in 2023 scheduling it online wasn't too hard, and the fact that they made you do it was even more dumb, because when we showed up it was an empty building with one employee at the time. Unfortunately, the changes put into place since the new administration has made things harder and has been the subject of much complaint... and well it's an intentional feature not a bug. 😉 Depending on what you need the appointment for is going to depend on if you can get past the prompts to schedule an appointment to begin with. But it is best to go through the 'make an appointment' process, which will have you try your best to answer questions to the AI to see if you are indeed allowed to make an appointment (probably not, who knows?!). The best way to answer this is... they say you can make an appointment, but the truth is they don't really want you to make an appointment. It's very much like UK systems now. 🙃
  16. I think the halftime show was probably the best part of the entire game? The ads were dreadful AI slop. The Patriots were sleepwalking to the point I think a team of toddlers could have beaten them.
  17. It's cold. So cold and so windy it's considered unsafe with the windchills for frostbite. The iceberg around the car is only slightly smaller with daily chopping. You can skate across the back yard, you can even walk on the bay, and the coyotes are getting loud at night. My RX was supposed to be filled a week ago. They keep saying 'understaffed' and that they'd get it the next day. Nope. I had to go in and stand in a line that wrapped around the building in that cold, and physically demand they fill it while I was there. I've got to do this all over again next week.
  18. Hi TB, we've been over this a while back. That claim is simply, pants on fire not true. In fact the two people they were looking for had nothing to do with him and never did. One man was in jail, and the other did not even live in that town, city, or state. That is my point - when a government does wrong, they should not be doubling down or lying about that wrong - they need to do right. Because every time they don't, damages the agency as a whole and makes the situation worse.
  19. It was -2 degrees this morning, 50mph winds, and the giant icebergs from a few weeks back haven't melted. It's brutal out there. Winter will continue to do it's thing. Groundhogs should never be used for weather prediction. They are some of our only animals that truly hibernate in winter, and thus by Nov/Dec should be snuggled up inside their burrows and left alone to complete their natural process. I'm excited to see momma hog and her babies exit the den they've got under my shed this spring. They'll be stupid and curious as always and start digging in my pots until I get my chili peppers out to remind them who is boss.
  20. I grew up on that stuff. But for a lot of people some products in their frozen line are used in cooking and mixing in all sorts of recipes. If I'm making cucumber salads in summer, if I'm not using straight fresh lemons.. I'm using their bottles of frozen lemon. You can make really decent lemon and keylime frozen pies, and good mixers in drinks.
  21. Did Chase send a letter or some kind of confirmation correspondence confirming you being added as authorized user? Usually cards will just have the user's name on it, but we took photos of our cards and various account info showing that we are linked. If I recall rightly, at the time I added my husband to my bank account, he did not yet have his SSN. They accepted his passport, marriage license, and other evidence. Typically a K1 should try to obtain their SSN within two weeks of entering the US, and that opens up a lot of possibilities and ways of securing other items. If you've waited too late or you are adjusting from a different way (it sounds like you came a different way) then your next opportunity is going to be EAD if you're filing for that with AOS. That will also open up the ability to go back to the SSA and also to get state ID etc. As far as other proofs goes.. health insurance, joint taxes, pension/insurance beneficiaries, life insurance, wills/POAs are all good. IIRC, we also had something like a Costco membership printed out where you could see him as a user on the account. We did the same with our phone plan. In the future, once you've got your SSN, getting a credit card without credit history isn't as hard as one might think. Start with a secured credit card like through Discover, and within six months you'll be upgraded and should be good to go.
  22. It was supposedly from the possible kidnappers, and was also sent to local outlets as well. The rumor today is that the daughter and son-in-law are being scrutinized in some way. They are the last to see her alive.
  23. Today after yet another embarrassing press conference on the subject of her disappearance with the sheriff... TMZ reports that they were emailed a threatening ransom note describing particulars of the case and demanding a large amount of bitcoin. I have no idea what to think of the legitimacy of such a note.
  24. Man that is *stoopid* I'd tell them to kick rocks personally. There has to be someone that has the same parental situation.
