| Sort of an obvious topic, I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it in PP&R. Let's accept the premise this could mean that Trump would actually be in Federal Prison 17 months from now when the next General Election takes place. Everything I see on the Web seems to point to Trump as the strong ... |

| Dauntless: The Battle of Midway (2019) In some ways it was a pretty good movie, but I hated the ending. The flyers from one airplane were stranded in the water. The pilot died a couple of days in and the radioman was there until the end. At the end, a PBY landed in the ocean to rescue someone and i... |

| What follows is my understanding of the issue: It used to be that whoever came up with the invention first got the patent. There were several common things to try to keep records of when you had the idea. One was to write the details in a signed and dated notebook. Another was to write it down, mail... |

The idea is nothing but a science fiction fantasy.
The dangerous part is not that it decides to take over, but that we allow it to make us even more stupid than we already are. |

| I had a dream Sunday night in which I walked up to a woman standing near the water (The Lady of the Swamp?). Near her were some porcelain alligator lawn statues. That's what I thought, anyway, until I stepped right next to one and it turned out to be life. It turned on me and got ready to chew me up... |

Everyone involved in that with any knowledge at all about what they were doing should go to prison for a very lon... |

I don't know about most people, but I couldn't care less what gays and transexuals do between consenting adults. But I am outraged when they do performances for children. When they do that, they ar... |

| Why do they want one bathroom for everyone for men & women? No parents would want their female child to go to the bathroom with a man in there, he could be a pervert or a sexual predator. It would work if the parent were to guard the door to keep others out. The danger would be when the parent ... |

Before I forget, the others I found mentioned were buffalos, elks, reindeer, donkeys, and alpacas. The additional two that weren't in the larger list I found were hors... |

If you want to stay, you might offer to carry out the trash once it is in trash bags and see if he is more comfortable with that. In my town, I... |
