Money, Politics and Democracy. Your thoughts?I continue to be shocked at the amount of money that's involved in USA politics. It borders on the obscene to me. "Money talks" it seems and without it ... what?
So damned sad.I have been watching from afar and the division seems to only get worse. I'm so pleased that Trump lost but from what I've seen and watched the division only gets worse. Does anyone really care about this division and does anyone truly want unity? It...See More »
Can someone please explain why the USA waits until January 20th for the Inauguration of a new President?
Do you think anyone feels sorry for Steve Bannon except Trump and if convicted is sure of a pardon?He was described as being "excited" as he left court, and he did look it, after being bailed for $5Million. Strange reaction to an indictment I thought.
What "world" are they living in? Certainly NOT mine.The president and the White House also boasted about the U.S.'s response to COVID-19, with Trump saying the country has the 'lowest fatality rate' Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said 'the world is looking at us as a leader in COVID-19'
Have you paid a visit to your GP's surgery lately?I had an appointment this afternoon to get my annual flu shot. I haven't been there since late last year and was a little reluctant to go but knew it was necessary. What a pleasant surprise I got! There were two rows of seats placed directly in...See More »
How do you feel when someone deletes your reply to their question?I answered a question in a polite and factual manner. I then complimented and thanked them for their sentiments although I had disagreed with how they'd worded the first part. It was, in my opinion, impossible to do. They promptly deleted. I then...See More »
How good are you at reversing a vehicle with a trailer attached?I admit I've never tried it and suspect I'd be worse than useless. lol I've just watched my neighbour across the street try 4 times (well I technically only witnessed 3) before he succeeded, after he knocked over his 3 wheelie garbage bins on his...See More »
Sad news regarding "JustLikeGreta".For all those who knew "JustLikeGreta" (previously known as "ColleenO'Hara"): I was talking with her son this morning who told me the sad news that she passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2020. 😔 She had been unwell for some time and her passing...See More »
I'm all for humour, aren't you? But ...How can we be expected to answer some of these questions seriously when there is no indication that they are in fact "serious" and genuinely seeking help, guidance and support. (Most aren't fooled by the attention seekers, well I hope not.) It's so...See More »
Is it just me or does the demography of this site seem to have changed recently?We used to have a fairly broad range of age groups participating but lately I've noticed the younger age group seem be more predominant. Are they fed up with Facebook? 😉
How many people, not specifically, do you think have more than one account here?It was just a random thought and it doesn't actually bother me. I am curious though as to their reasons for doing so, particularly if they're trying to display different personas. It seems, to me, such a lot of effort to go to and for what?
Have you ever sent a Valentine's Day card as a joke?Some years ago I sent one to my brother, anonymously, as he was single and was without a girlfriend at the time. I thought it would be a laugh ... Wrong! He took it so seriously and genuinely believed there was someone out there who fancied him. My...See More »
Isn't it so annoying that just when you finish painting your nails you want to pay a visit to the loo?! Grrrrr
Are you aware that you can be penalised for not having fluid in a vehicle's screen washer bottle?It's common sense that you make sure you do but I wasn't aware it was an offense if it was empty. You learn something every day. Just a bit of trivia.
The British have a funny and quirky sense of humour don't you agree?This exchange on a news article about annoying personal habits of others: "Aussie: A young adult female work colleague started flossing her teeth opposite me at the table as I was eating my lunch. Brit: Aye, I was in church yesterday when I saw a...See More »
How many people do you regard as genuine here? Rhetorical question actually but what do others think?
How many narcissists do you know? Do they impact on your daily life?I have very personal reasons for asking this but I've lived with it all my life and I still pander to them. *sigh
I enjoy coming on here but why do some people insist on being antagonistic just for the sake of it? Beats me. *sigh
If you had the choice would you rather be an introvert or an extrovert?I'm an introvert by nature unless I'm wound up about something I'm particularly passionate about. Then I come out of my shell. I'm not as dumb as some people think I am simply because I'm quiet. They're quite surprised sometimes. ðŸ¤
