Getting dirt on her was how J. Edgar Hoover first gained power.

He was the master of intelligence gathering and built giant files on all his enemies.

That Danny DeVito! Is there nothing that genius can’t do???

The Right always votes for the GOP candidate, and the GOP candidate is the guy who wins the primaries. Most folks don’t vote in the primaries, so the most extreme guy almost always wins.

Meanwhile, there are people on the Left who hate AOC because she hasn’t pistol whipped Nancy Pelosi.

Hitler came to power because the majority couldn’t settle on a non-Hitler candidate. Now you’re saying we should do the same thing.

Racism is always a good idea.

In a neighborhood, everyone knows your name. If Joe the Plumber and Fred the Butcher make a bet, everyone has heard it, and the loser has to pay up, or be scorned.

In a bar, the bartender or server holds the bets and pays off the winner, and expects a cut of the pie as a sevice fee/tip.

Don’t engage with them.

I guess the quote fooled me. Thank you

What movie is this from? I’m thinking Mad Men, but that’s just a guess.

Thanks.

Physical calendars are great. One good trick is to write all the important dates down the day you get it. Mom’s birthday; parent’s anniversary; any event that you want to be sure to remember.

Get these books. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests to determine what skills you already have and then a list of all sorts of jobs that use those skills. If you can wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate yourself, you’ve solved most of your adult problems.

“The Joy Of Cooking.” Will teach you how to boil water, and then go on from there.

This movie.

That’s a good story. My family moved into a big apartment complex when I was in 6th Grade. There was a big laundry room in the basement and somehow I became the Laundry Czar of my family. First good paying job I got I started having it done for me.

True story.

One of George W. Bush’s friends was telling a story about the future President. He was a recent college graduate and came to her house with a load of laundry, because he couldn’t figure out how to clean his own stuff.

I went to bed after that comment…

People had encyclopedias and dictionaries in their homes. They read newspapers every day [and since there was a lot of competion between papers they made sure of their facts.]

imho people today are more likely to fall for nonsense because they look for confirmation instead of accuracy.

You’re recognizing the problems of today. Someone in the 1930’s Depression would feel something similar watching a movie set in the Jazz Age.

I think it’s a torch, like an Olympic torch. Could be wrong.

Succumb to the siren call of capitalist self-indulgence!!

Personally, I’d stick with white walls. Whatever else you want to do is your own affair. Glad to be of service.
