3Hotdogs's JournalMeThinks the G.O.P. is in trouble. Let's go back to one of the biggest Republican assholes. Paul Weyrich.
We remember his famous quote about voting and voters....."...our leverage in the election quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
Well guess what? Early voting shows a significant number of voters, participating in early voting. And where the party of the early voter is known, Democrats are voting in larger numbers than Republicans.
Donald, ya better get yourself measured and fitted for a new orange jump suit.
IF YOU ARE POSTING A VIDEO ---- Post it. Then test it. If it doesn't play on your screen, delete it.
Don't waste our time.
Starting a couple of weeks ago, videos have been posted that, when clicked, you get a blank screen followed by a request to sign in. Clicking that, leads to nothing. This is happening more frequently.
What causes some of us to waste money.
Buying stuff you don't need, with money you don't have to impress people you don't even like.
This is in follow-up to a post about finances in this morning's D.U.
The quote is from Dave Ramsey.
Donnie Dimwit and maggot reactions. So he shits himself, wears diapers and maggots respond by wearing
diapers at his rallies.
Then he dodges a bullet. Comes out wearing a white bandage over his ear. Maggots respond by wearing mini pads over their ears at his rallies.
Suppose next rally, he goes completely bonkers and drops his pants to show he didn't shit himself. How will maggots respond?
Apple Air pod pro 2. hearing aids --- live?
Several video titles indicate that it is now active. I can't download it.
The Lincoln Project ad I'd like to see. Videos of Anal Fistula's three casinos. Plaza being demolished with explosives
and Trump signs being removed from the other two.
" Please tell us, Donald, You're a businessman who's a stable genius. So how do you fuck up three casinos?"
It's an old guitar. Gibson-Classical. Nylon strings. No input for an amp.
I bought it, probably 1960. I played folk music stuff with it. I was better than the average bear but still not very good. Kingston Trio, P.P.M. and so forth. I didn't take lessons but I could tune it, using the tone on a landline phone to give me B flat (I think it was). I couldn't play too many chords but I was good at devising my own "fakes." My most "famous" was Scotch & Soda.' I made a $ thousand or two over a few years of part time gigs. And ya gotta remember that this was before Reagan. A thousand then, was worth a $ thousand. And I did ok. --- Irish tenor. How could I lose?
It was good, also at attracting dates. "It Was A Very Good Year." "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" "Monday, Monday" were winners. This was good, until the Beatles came on the scene. Folk music died out and my skills were no match for the newer music.
Over the years, I would play from time to time, at request of friends or my kids. My voice is now shot. I can't hit the notes I used to be able. The guitar hasn't been played in several years and when I sing now, it's mostly at Christmas Eve with my family. I'm 81. So my story goes back a bit.
But back to the guitar. It's going to my grandson. He's 11 and his school music teacher says he is a prodigy. He plays violin, tuba, trumpet, keyboard and trombone. My daughter asked if I would gift him the guitar. I took it to the repair shop where the technician is a luthier. For $190, a crack will be repaired, new strings and so forth. He will get it on November 15th.
My hope is that he will play Bluegrass with his violin. My heart would sing if he would play some Vassar or Curly Ray Cline. But he hates Bluegrass. Still, he's only eleven.
It reminds me of a high school classmate. Excellent musician. Plays with several orchestras. But the gigs are few and far between. To make ends meet, he plays in Bluegrass bands. He's won contests in southern state festivals. but Gene hates Bluegrass.
Maybe my grandson will turn out the same. I don't care if he likes Bluegrass. Just give me some of that "high, lonesome". sound.
Driving through water -- DON"T DO THIS on another thread, saw a video of a car plowing through a street.
Don't do this.
Manhole covers can be pushed up by water. That leaves a hole for your car to drive into.
D.U. problem with videos. This happened the last two days,
I attempt to click on a video and a message appears, telling me to log in, confirm my identity - whatever.
But there is no link to do that. Given that there are comments about the videos, other people are able to view these.
How to feel old. (I am old). I took a shit load of coins to the bank coin counter. $280 worth....
Stuff that was rejected by the machine, included a battery, a couple of foreign coins and two Garden State Parkway tokens.
--- the coins were my Mom's and 'nuff said.
The kid at the bank. "What are those for/ The subway?"
I then had a conversation with two older women behind their desks about Parkway tokens. Long lines on weekends to get to the toll booth to drop tokens in. Fishing for change to pay for the toll before the tokens came into use.
The kid was probably not even born when they were discontinued. 2002.
