his dad sang and wrote the theme song for Diff'rent Strokes though...

mine too.... I scraped it all off yesterday, used the blower last night.... came back over night.

I paid about $1000 for mine. I figured I would need it eventually so why not now. I see it as a 25 year purchase. (If I get to retire in 15 years or so and move to warmer climates... see ya) I'm 48. I'm in good shape. I work out 4-5 times a week with either weights or running. My blood pressure is perfect. But the wife saw a story about how shoveling is still bad for you the older you get and it made sense. It doesn't just affect old and out of shape people.

He has calm eyes

he also got sued over stealing it and had to pay Marvin Gaye's estate a few million.

anti vaxxer Jenny McCarthy was ok with it.

I thought the former guy eliminated ISIS.

I bet the difference was because of 1 degree. Twice yesterday I went out and just moved some solid slush, but still slush, off the sidewalk and parts of the driveway. The weird thing is across the street it wasn't slush. Then around 1 or 2 it began to look like snow. They got 12 inches not far west or north of us. On Monday I bought a new 4 cycle blower. My previous one was from 1998 and hadn't worked in 2 seasons so I figured it was time. I did get to use it last night.

I bet. I just get annoyed by people complaining that others are doing the same thing they are doing... "I went to get Chicken and there wasn't any! They took it all". That's a real comment I saw on social media. Yes.. it's called shopping. Stores stock shelves and people buy it. Some people got to the chicken before you did. That's allowed. They didn't do anything wrong.

It’s all bullshit. But the cats out of the bag and too many super rich people are involved for it to go away. No way in hell they lose out.

so that way nobody has to testify? Because he surely doesn't give a shit about their well being.

The Detroit area was always going to be on the line between freezing so getting a precise prediction was going to be difficult, especially when you have a viewing area that covers Northern Macomb County down to Monroe County west to Livingston. I'd rather they say 12 and we get 7 than to say we'll get 7 and end up with 12. I'm amazed that they can even predict 5 days out that we'll get a storm when nothing is on the radar yet. That's advanced technology. We're spoiled that it's an issue that it's off by a few inches. My dad's theory was to watch WGN and he'd say "What they got today we'll get tomorrow" He also liked that they "showed more killings. Coleman Young made them stop showing them here"

I wonder if there's a significant % of non voters in "decided" states that would be more likely to vote in a popular vote election?

and the people at Kroger complaining that there's too many other people at Kroger....

Durability is definitely something we should give credit for. It's not always luck.

the "black woman" thing gave them the excuse they needed to oppose it while pretending to be "reasonable".

My Peeve is related. We're expectingbig snow. So people that go grocery shopping later in the week decide to go Monday or Tuesday. When that happens things are more crowded and shelves are empty. Then people freak out and call them idiots for "hoarding". It's not that. People are just shopping. It's not ridiculous. People aren't being crazy. they'd just rather not go out and shop later in the week so they go earlier. When are people allowed to shop and when are they not? If 50 loaves of bread are on the shelf and 40 people take those, who is the hoarder?

yes still leader but they no longer have 50 D votes for stuff. No provisions for remote voting in the Senate.

So the Dems have no majority because of the NM Senator's stroke.

I think Trump just shit Graham out of his rectum tonight.

And even in important stuff it’s like…”wait? Free stuff?” Yes I know there’s other issues at play and debt considerations but nobody in Washington cares about the debt so I would rather that money go to people directly rather than a corporation or another bomber or aircraft carrier. trickle down is a fraud.

what do you mean by "report"? Just because there's two sides to a point doesn't make one of them valid. People think the earth is flat. They're nuts.

nah....it's chili. It's a smorgasbord of flavor. speaking of chili..... I really wish I liked beans. I've tried them and just can't stand the texture. I miss out on so much. This is a good week for Chili. Wish I had thought of that.

a book he wrote to pay gambling debts no less...

what would have happened if a majority of the house and senate didn't rebuke the objections? What if Pence just didn't do it? What if he stood at the podium and didn't certify and went along with it? What does it mean when we say "he can't". Who would stop him? Would the Capitol Police have gone up there and taken him away and Grassley preside? I mean if there is nothing that can be done on January 6 then what is the Electoral Reform Act all about then? From my limited reading it changes it from a majority to supermajority vote to support the objections. So on January 6th, we have David Perdue and James Craig submitted electors that went against the voting results, some Dems object... but they need a super majority to end that objections and it's not there. It takes a combined 100 crazy people to fuck things up. A few nameless people in a state to not certify results, a couple of rogue governors, 4 members of congress to object, and a few dozen members of the legislature across the Senate and House to vote against the people's wishes.
