that it "didn't matter" because it only hurt the useless investor class.

When I attempted to point out that many working people have their "retirement savings" in the stock market, whether they want it or not, I was told it doesn't matter because of.....reasons. I don't recall what they were.

Horrible about WV.

I don't have HBO, so that wouldn't affect me anyway.

Thanks for the update!!!

It's not really a big thing here but it is on Facebook. Parents (mostly Dads) see how many Cheerios the can stack on the sleeping baby's nose, cheek, forehead. Some impressive work I must say.

If only the GOP could clone Farage's 'gnashers' onto Don the Con's face and hair, they'd surely have a winning candidate.

You didn't miss much, Coventina. It's the same old shit, just another month.

It would be much more interesting to hear about your trip. Where did you go and what were you doing that you couldn't get an internet connection? Maybe that's where I'll go until November 9th.

Welcome home.

Having said that, I encourage you to go!
It is literally like nowhere else on earth!


The people are super friendly, the drinks are superb, the scenery is beautiful.

But, yeah, the internet is hard to find, and when you do it is expensive and slow. So I didn't even bother to try.
