Actually in Orcutt, which is even worse.

First time with a motorcycle (in Mexico) gave it throttle & headed straight for a wall. I remember thinking “I’m going to crash”. It took my brain a second or so to tell me to lay off the throttle & hit the brake.

World Series interrupted by earthquake.

If its smaller than a RAV4, I will buy it in an instant to replace my aging Scion XB.

Yet my evangelical step-sister will still vote for trump and my racist in-laws will too.

I’ve got a parrot. Even rhythmic clapping makes him dance.

What I’ve been surprised at these last few years is seeing how thin the veneer was that covered so many white peoples hatred and fear of the “other”. Then again, I’m white.

I worked or went to school in Irvine for 15 years, this is nothing like what is there. The housing was faux Spanish Mission, then Faux Tuscan.

A new hotel was built in the town I live in. It looks just like your picture.

This! When I was younger I worked at the front desk of a high end hotel. I was amazed at a co-worker who could take an amazing amount of abuse from a worked up customer, keep calm, smile and carry on. It was water off a duck’s back to him, he didn’t stew about it at all. I came to the conclusion that I should not work…

My mother used to hide food from my unable to control himself step-father. When she died, I found chocolate, nuts and dried fruit hidden in many places. 

I’ve been married 30 years. Last year we downsized from a multi-story house to a 1000 sq ft single story. I miss the separation big time.

I’m sure this chicken is tasty, but the best fried chicken is skillet fried, not deep fried. 

I appreciate it when a server warns me off a certain dish. I went to order a special once & the server said, “you don’t want to order that”.  It turned out that people were returning it to the kitchen because it was so bad.

If these fools want to live in the 14th century, then let them treat every aliment with leeches. 

So you’ve met my in-laws?

Yes, I am, its the closest thing to what I have.

I’ve had my XB for 7 years and still don’t know what else I would buy to replace it.

I was in Afghanistan in 1977. If your culture treats women like animals, it leads to this kind of crap being accepted as okay male behavior.

There are plenty of people unwilling to be led by a woman, including plenty of fools like my SIL.  Also, many people run away from intelligence. I can only hope that she can overcome this shit. She should be the nominee.  I have given money to her, Harris and Pete.
