Me too. The Walton clan has went insane but many today are insane. I don't dislike eggs but I eat them because my family has always eaten them. Bacon is a bit insane today also. I have food that I have bought and I end up fixing it and putting it outside for the animals. Some things being sold are not fit for human consumption. In many cases you do not know this until you try the products.

@Marionville You may be correct but my remark goes to the fact that in America you cannot buy cigarettes unless you are a certain age by law and the smokers still get cigarettes. If this NZ law says that people born after January1st 2009 will never be able to buy smokes ever, we know there is a way around that. Anyone heard of fake ID's?

I'm in mid Missouri in a community of about 1200 people. No visible homeless people here, nor are they to be found in towns close by. Did someone kill them off or did the dope play out? One thing that got rid of the homeless is people burning their abandoned properties for the insurance money and claim the homeless did it making meth. Along this same route is to evict the homeless from cheap historical hotels and do a complete makeover of that historical building. Now it is no longer historical and those near homeless cannot afford it. Where did they go?

Beau of the Fifth Column - Let's talk about Twitter and check marks.... [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Nov 3, 2022:

i still don't get the check verification thing. I can't get on Facebook anymore...the "impersonation" thing? Who would want to impersonate me? Good questions, Beau.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 3, 2022:

When people impersonate you in any way 2 things happen. 1. When they pretend to be you they can get away with saying many different things. 2. When they pretend to be you they are very close to assuming your actual identity. If any of this goes unchecked for a period of time you may find yourself owing money in other states and the one getting away with this is paying nothing because they say you are the real scammer. They then have the house and car that you are made to pay for.

My thoughts are why lock out the Twitter people who monitor content? Could it be that Musk wants all the lies and bullshit to grow just before the election?

I believe you have hit this all right on the head. That is exactly what Musk wants. I find it something to be afraid of. Musk will find it something that will make him more money.

Fox News is playing this down so as to not make it political but how else would you view a man coming into your house with a hammer in his hand and asking "where is Nancy?" Seeing that she is gone he attacks her husband with the hammer. Most likely he was not a Democrat. Shame on you Fox News.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 31, 2022:

@Lorajay Many strange rumors going on right now about this including one from Elon Musk. He took down his post, then put it back up again. Most say the entire story was misleading and they make up bullshit about it like Musk did. Fox simply claimed they had no motive for any of this. If you present the motive it does not look good for the GOP. Now the attacker confesses the whole thing and tells what he was going to do and what he came there for. Charges against him could hold up to 40 years plus in jail time if convicted. Yes, he says, he was looking for Nancy. Looks like "something just is not right about this story" just flew out the window.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 29, 2022:

@CourtJester Both men with hammers did sound suspicious to me but this guy seems like some kinda nut job. In his underwear, huh. Now let's look at the suspicious set up where Nancy tells her husband that he can take these hammer blows for political reasons. He won't be killed or anything but he will go to the hospital. Are we thinking that something like this went on here? Nancy can own the GOP close to election time and get sympathy for her DUI hubby. Is this something like we are thinking might have happened? Just asking.

I know the junk man but he is closed permanently now. People just drop stuff off anyway and his daughter tries to make some money by hauling it all off. This takes machinery and tractor trailer trucks. The city gets on everyone's ass if the place gets messy. My price for the stuff was free.

It could just be an incentive to stay with Aetna. There's a lot of competition out there. However, be very careful and read all the fine print.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 20, 2022:

I'm sure it's an incentive. No question. But suspicious? No way. This is a card like going to Walmart and buying a gift card and load it with $300. At $1,200 a year extra I still would not owe any money and I pay no end of year taxes. What I have paid during the year comes back to me. Since i am still working I also keep my 2 main credit cards active just enough to maintain a very high score.
