I have a question: What is your opinion of learning two different languages at once?

I'm contemplating it now, so I could use your advice.

LOl. .True, that.

Anyone see "The Drop"?...I saw it, almost by accident, and liked it a lot!

Written by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) and starring James Gandolfini in his last

role. It contains a very interesting twist I didn't see coming.

What was the nuclear "problem" which happened recently in New Mexico?

Sorry I can't be more specific, but it seems it occurred in Northern

New Mexico near that nuclear "hub" whose name escapes me at the moment.

Heard it mentioned on radio news.

I have a question, Floridians -- Spouse and i are thinking of buying a house in Florida

We're nearing retirement, and, much as we love Chicago, we're getting really

sick of the long, cold winters....For the last week or so, the temperatures

have been well below freezing, and it's only November -- I think

you get the picture.

What are your thoughts on West coast of Florida vs. the East coast?

What are the most liberal cities on each coast?

Thanks so much for your help.

Anyone see the Quinn/Rauner debate last night?

Quinn didn't look or sound very confident, which made me worry about his chances.

On the other hand, last I heard, he was ahead of Rauner.

Has anyone seen "Gone Girl" yet?

I haven't seen it yet and I'm curious as to people's reactions.

President Obama is doing it again..

Knocking it out of the park!

He's at Northwestern University talking to students and supporters,

giving an overview of all his administration has accomplished so far.

Although I don't agree with him on everything -- His support for the TPP,

for instance -- He is SO impressive -- SO smart, SO poised, so "Presidential"

I will ALWAYS be proud to have voted for this man...Anyone who can not

see why he won two terms is a flaming idiot.

Does ANYONE here live in/near Wauconda, IL or anywhere in 14th District?

I ask because there is a Progressive Democrat by the name of Dennis Anderson

who is running against Tea-Party Republican Randy Hultgren.

Dennis is holding a Town Hall Meeting on this upcoming Monday, September 22nd

from 7pm to 9pm.

If you live in the 14th District or KNOW anyone who does, PLEASE ask them

to attend our Town Hall...Dennis is a GREAT candidate!

Any ideas for living off a social security benefit of only $680 a month?

I live in Illinois, in a somewhat distant Chicago suburb...I would consider moving

(In fact I'm thinking of buying a 'tiny house' to 'downsize' that way) but I don't

want to go further than necessary....I'm thinking maybe Madison, Wisconsin, if

I have too. It's a very liberal town and they and are looking to start a tiny house

community.
