I block his meme posting, my lord the drivel. He truly believes that the Nazi's were basically Communists. I'd block block him, but I get bored at work sometimes.

I can hook you up!
I am. I would love to read for you. Message me. I channel angels, guides and I am a medium. Thanks!
Haha, I feel you. I do Tarot readings both in person (Boulder/Denver area) and online. I have 20+ years of experience to offer practical, tangible guidance through whatever is revealed by the cards.

Yesterday, my Aunt posted a meme supposedly naming the Whistleblower, and showing pictures of him with Biden, Hillary, and Obama.

Doesn't the fact that everything the Whistleblower reported has proven to be true make it fairly moot who it actually is?

100 percent nonsense basically 24 hours into the first round of witness testimony in front of the House hearing. All of the whistleblower claims were backed up by multiple sources.

Ridiculous.

The fact that he (presumably) didn't testify makes it entirely moot who it is.

He's the guy who heard a car window being broken and called the cops. If the prosecution depends entirely on other witnesses, he is completely irrelevant.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

another longtime presence and someone set to be at my 2020 event is being accused of some shitty relationship things by an ex who went on a podcast in her professional capacity and aired the accusations. I set my lineup 6 weeks ago and no one had any idea that this was a thing -- she said numerous times that she had told no one, not even her closest friends -- so I'm blindsided like everyone else

but the internet does what the internet does, and I'm now tangentially involved and have to take action. which is fine and necessary. but facebook is the worst place for this shit to unfold. reason and logic goes out the window at times.

I refunded everyone's money yesterday. may have it in August. may not. I fear for the personal training industry -- or at least a large segment of that market -- because it's going to be one of the parts of the economy hardest hit. so if people don't have the discretionary income to come to the event in August, what's the point?

The Joke was calling myself eric clapton. The original Neil Diamond one (posted somewhere here as well) was sent in a group text with some parents and one of the dads was like, "Who Is that" despite Neil Diamond actually saying his name. So I made that to send to that group and the woman posted it to the 'book as well.

In case anyone is wondering... Market Basket exit 1 has no chicken whatsoever but does have eggs, paper towels, and some house brand disinfectant wipes. Shaw's exit 1 has no eggs and has only chicken wings. Whole Foods has a full selection of chicken and eggs, and some paper towels. None have toilet paper or hand sanitizer.

Looking through the Town forum for advice on a service to remove a groundhog from my yard. Come across a post from 2015 where a person posted a pic of a dead groundhog in their yard, asking what dept in Town will remove. Response from Mister D to the picture: "Aww, I bet the little fella is just napping."

Cracked me up.

On the plus side, animal removal guy took a look around, promised me the ground hog hasn't dug anywhere near my house. He is living under an old shed in my backyard, and the guy said the ground hog won't do any damage where he is, and said he is happy to remove him or spray repellent, but advised against it, as he might move to a different spot and cause damage. I like the advice to do nothing. Personally, I think he is cute, and my daughter already named him.

This is good to read as we usually have some under our shed and I've never seen good reason to care. Which is the opposite of how I felt about the family of skunks living under our front porch, which is more or less a part of our house given 2/3 of it was converted into a small room.

I have to log into this bullshit website from time to time because I'll get messages or something (I have neither this nor messenger as an app on my phone) and I'll send up scrolling a bit.

Seems that the political discourse is still plentiful especially in light of the coronavirus stuff because the Libz dare question King Pissbaby Trump and his handling of this situation.

It's just so sad when I see Republicans whining about how liberals are destroying everything and how it was absolutely NOT like this when Obama was president. And any attempt to prove it otherwise is met with contempt and 'fake news' type of responses.

I have no sympathy for Trump supporters. I guess I'm supposed to because I'm American and they're American or whatever, but the strict marriage to an alternate reality really does it for me. I can't deal with them.

I don't post on Facebook anymore because I cannot trust that someone wouldn't rat me out for being "unprofessional on social media," but the day after I get my first retirement check... I'm posting again and ripping everyone.
