  1. I grew up in Boston but became a Tigers fan... does that balance it out? 😉
  2. I was wondering when the 'if guns are outlawed then only outlaws will own guns' argument was going to come up. I only have one or two left on my card before I get bingo.
  3. Sounds like there could be a book or movie, called John and Me.
  4. Wow. Just wow. How embarrassing.
  5. The weirdest thing is that I'm reading Wicked, and am reminded of our current political situation. Is there no escape?
  6. P.S. there's a mean part of me that actually hopes he'll live long enough to be brought to justice-preferably by having his money taken away and being forced to live in a remote place where he has to take a vow of silence.
  7. I saw that he's referring to Portland as being 'war ravaged.' So he's finally calling what he's doing what it is-waging war against those who disagree with him.
  8. That's what I've seen that people are guessing.
  9. Which is why I haven't yet seen the Broadway show, tbh. The balcony seats tend to sell out fast, and while I've gotten floor seats for other shows for a reasonable price, that hasn't been the case with Hamilton so far.
  10. Not that I can recall
  11. There's the whole myth of him as a liberator, too-freeing people (especially women, but men too) from being forced to have careers, stay single, and be surrounded by pets.
  12. And I'm considered the odd one in the family because I'm the only one interested in musicals, classical music, ballet-you get the idea. Maybe we could switch family/acquaintances for a weekend? 😉 PS it is definitely worth it to sit where you can hear the lyrics better.
  13. What, no damsel in distress?
  14. This-just like it was the right thing to provide electricity and phone service to people in the country (I'm blanking on the time frame-maybe about 100 years ago?).
  15. Is that any good? I've always wanted to see the show but could never justify spending several hundred dollars for it.
  16. I remember being told that Boston was being burned to the ground by protesters/rioters in 2020. This came as quite a shock to me, since I live in downtown Boston and as far as I can tell that never happened.
  17. I just started reading a book that reminds me that the church of the 'prosperity gospel' and its belief of output being a sign of approval from G-d are both strong in this country. There's a feeling, whether on the surface or somewhere close to it, that CEOs are deities, and that financial success is automatically deserved by a chosen few.
  18. Time to look at the books thread.
  19. He's being turned into a martyr. Is there such a term as "Wesseled?"
  20. Especially since, in my experience certain people believe that those who don't agree with them 100% on everything are far left lunatics. I'd call most of those on here labeled 'far left' as either just to the left or to the right of moderate.
  21. There was a court case within the past 10 years in which it was determined that states can require online merchants to collect income tax based on where the buyer lives.
  22. Tempting.... although I'd rather donate something that's truly meaningful to an organization I actually care about.
  23. A 'meaningful' donation to TPUSA???? I guess I would continue to be suspended, because that organization is pretty much in direct opposition to what I believe.
  24. And he wonders why people call him and Drumpf Nazis?
  25. Also a lot of low wage workers died of COVID or are still dealing with the after effects... a lot of people are looking at these jobs and thinking it's not worth the risk.
