This entire thread is making me think that my husband’s crazy idea, isn’t so crazy. He feels that your “vote” should lessen in weight as you age. The thought being that you are less likely to be voting for the long-term as you get older. SO young people get full vote, middle-aged get 3/4, elderly get 1/2. Since young…

We’ve been to two bday parties now where in lieu of gifts they requested donations, one for a local wildlife recovery center that the birthday boy had visited, the other was a WWF special page where kids can earn panda stuff by raising money for helping pandas. Kids are totally overwhelmed with stuff. It is tricky to…

My area has - rally bus costs are covered for all who want to attend. I am staying up there so not going by bus, but just wanted to say that covering costs has happened for some.

I’m going! I’ve got family to stay with and don’t live too far away.

Let me go see if anyone has mentioned that on my myspace page....

Reports I have seen mention that the electricity was illegally tapped off of the grid and the building was not zoned to have any tenants residing there. This entire tragedy never should have happened. In my hometown there is generally one fire per year in a multifamily unit that has around 3x the people living there…

We have an open floor plan and are now looking to install barn doors. Kids are crazy loud and finally at an age where they can only do reparable harm while left unsupervised.

I have been following this on technology blogs and part of the reason for the recount request comes from a statistical analysis (a computer science professor was one of those urging the recounts) that showed counties using voting machines slightly favored Trump more than the optical scan counties. Optical scanners are…

School? We had to learn this for work! (starts crying with you...)

Yeah, not sure about the hating on hunters. Like all groups of people there are good ones and bad ones. I live closer to the country and know plenty of good ones.

That would fit with their denial of climate change, we should sell it to them now before it sinks.

I had Giuliani on the brain and when Flynn was mentioned, I was picturing NYPD chief Raymond Kelly, which makes Flynn seem qualified and competent.

My son just read the Magic Treehouse book about where they help the French Resistance. I always wondered if I could stand up? I am joining the march in DC and we’ll see how it goes from there.

Hey fellow summer Yellowstone worker! I can confirm I bought “Death in Yellowstone” (sadly loaned it out and never got it back) and I was deathly afraid of the thermal features. So yeah, cool story bro (women can say that too?)

It is really hard to know at this point what to feel most sad about in the future administration. There is all the obvious terrible stuff, and then a little deeper is the horrible anti-science stuff. I can only imagine as a government scientist how dangerous it must feel that your new commander (via his own words) has…

Listen, back in the good old days, we called these people dorks. Trump knows that science is for the geeks and the dweebs and there will be none of them in his administration. (Said as a female EE who graduated in the 90s).

There could have been released video footage of this guy saying to Trump,”you, sir, are an idiot” while attempting to brief him and people still would have voted for him. A large portion of Americans do not understand what government agencies actually do, they don’t know what the NSA does, they clearly don’t know what…

I am with you on the health thing and I also am baffled by the clearance thing. Having gone through a low-level of the process and known people who have gone through more, financial disclosure is a big deal. If you are in debt and easily blackmail-able, they will figure it out. The likes of Trump or Bannon privy to…

Even the fish were trying to get to Canada.

So true. I keep wishing somehow Trump’s Florida properties could be the first (and only) to sink.
