Thrilling Saturday-on-Sunday report, see man: Last full day/night of Two Guys week for a month, Mini-B. going to Ecu on Monday man. Lunch was nuked corn + Costco orange chicken, ingest din-din for lunch Two Guys man. A nice siesta was taken thereafter, zzz we man. We awoke from siesta, beheld darkening skies, and heard thunder, see and hear we man. We rapidly decided to mow front lawn, in dire post-hurricane need man. Not 2 minutes after we leaf-blew debris from the driveway, the skies opened, timing is everything man. This makes 2 consecutive mowings in which our timing was magnificent, self-congratulate we man. Furthermore, no power outage from this thunderstorm, superb man. Sat under ceiling fan to off-cool, turn on news while doing so man. Ended up watching (minus shower-break) for Many (2+2+2) consecutive hours, awful stuff man. Din-din (with TV on) was Costco beef taquitos, ingest Two Guys man. Dessert was the remaining half of the FST-restaurant cherry pie, ingest Two Guys man. So far, it appears that we lost no fridge/freezer food at all from the power outage, quite a boon man. Planned brief visit to Mama T-B. on Sunday, recovering-from-cold senior she man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

As promised just above, here is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke (appropriate for the political season): ============================================= RESEARCHING THE FIANCÉE An important politician kept very public company with a movie actress for a couple of months. He finally decided to propose marriage. However, being cautious, he hired a private detective to look into her past and find out if she'd had previous affairs with any men. After a few days, the detective gave the politician this report. "Sir, this lady has a spotless reputation. Her past is clear, and her family and friends all have respectable backgrounds. No one says anything against her character. However, according to my sources, for the last couple of months she's been frequently seen flirting with a politician who has a highly dubious reputation."

I watched NBC News for about 6 hours nonstop. Known: Lone shooter, male, age 20, from Pennsylvania, shot dead. Pres. Trump's right ear pierced by bullet. Trump has been released from the local medical center and has exited Pennsylvania. Trump posted on Truth Social about it. Bidementia has condemned the shooting. One attendee murdered, 2 others "critically" wounded. Secret Service, FBI, Pa. State Police cooperating mutually and thoroughly. FBI phone & web lines established for witnesses to provide information. The shooter's position was OUTSIDE the security perimeter. Investigation is active and broad; a news conference will be held when there's more to report.

Thanks for taking the time to post your experience! You did right. Imagine not having something that they wanted, which is far worse than having everything possible ready to give to them.

Country-specific thread is moved to the Asia: South regional forum.

Very nicely stated, guys. Agree 100%, except the chance of a Hillary presidency is not totally zero.

Good point, and here's another. Given that Dr. Jill is the power behind the throne, and given that Li'l Crackpipe has strong influence, why don't the Dem elites simply publicize the testimony given in the House committee regarding all the financial monkeyshines -- shell companies to funnel foreign kickbacks to all the Bidens? This would neuter Dr. Jill by bringing her down with Bidementia himself. I really wonder why the elites haven't done this already.

How thoughtful of you! Only a shared fence knocked down (was due for replacement anyway); power out for 62 uncomfortable hours; everyone safe. Will hopefully keep presenting semiweekly VAWA-Thread Jokes to help keep spirits up here.

Time to involve your Congressman's office, if you haven't already. The immigration liaison may have connections with the Bureau of Consular Affairs.
