I believe he was hoping that rioting would break out in the streets so he could point to it as another example of "democrat mobs". EVERY thing he does has an ulterior motive or hidden agenda. He is not smart - but he is clever.

Since I am sure that I am going to offend someone, this is the right group.

Lavergne comments on Oct 30, 2018:

You have totally missed the mark. When they speak of a "real woman"....they are referring to a woman who has made the choice to accept herself (not just her body) for who and what she is.....she doesn't feel the need to starve herself and become a gym rat in order to have a rail thin body. She is ok with her curves - she accepts the fact that she might not be thought of as drop dead gorgeous by some men - but she works with what she has - and makes herself as attractive as she wants to be. Not to please a man....but to feel good about herself. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with wear and tear and in no way implies that she is ok with "letting herself go". If you can't see beyond the "wrapping"....you are missing out on some awesome "real" women........don't be surprised if you die alone. ;) ;) ;)

I sure do remember, how about you?

Lavergne comments on Oct 29, 2018:

Do you ever feel like a survivor dodging bullets?

Lavergne comments on Oct 29, 2018:

Most of my friends (all younger than me) are experiencing serious health issues and/or financial hardships. I count my blessings every day that I am healthy - on no meds - able to enjoy whatever the day brings. As to the why and how - a few good choices made along the way and a fair degree of luck. And, yes, I try to reach out and help in whatever way that I can....they are all good people who are just struggling to keep their heads above water.

Is it just me, or do many on social media these days seem to be a bunch of overly-sensitive, easily ...

Where do you get the best (fresh, cheap..) seafood in the USA?

Lavergne comments on Oct 27, 2018:

Good luck. We've lived right in seacoast towns and could walk to the docks to buy seafood right off the boats....but that was then. Now: everything gets shipped to restaurants and flash frozen to be distributed all thru the country. If you want fresh shrimp....better learn how to throw a net. ;) I live in TN and am lucky to be able to buy Texas (gulf coast) shrimp - previously frozen (yucch) but at least not farmed.

Lavergne comments on Oct 25, 2018:

When people talk about American exceptionalism, it now seems to refer to the fact that we have a sliver of the population who is obscenely wealthy and wants for nothing....and simultaneously, have a much larger number of people who are underpaid, underfed...... homeless.... some dying for lack of proper medical care. So when you hear that term- don't beam with pride. It doesn't mean what you think it does....

During a bad ice storm winter before last, we lost power for 4 days. The fireplace kept some parts of the house bearable...we had those oil lanterns for every room so we didn't have to stumble around in the dark....and lots of batteries to power the little boom boxes so we had music to keep us in a good mood. Early to bed - lots of goose down comforters...catching up on our reading and drinking. a lot. hahahahaha

There Is A Difference Between Dating and Courting | Sugardaddie.com

Lavergne comments on Oct 20, 2018:

I think it all boils down to chemistry....its either there or it isn't. If it's there, then good manners and breeding will dictate how fast or slow things move along. Some people are simply more sexual/sensual creatures so things can heat up between them very quickly. Others like to set a slower pace - or as you called it "a courtship period". Different strokes.....

Lavergne comments on Oct 20, 2018:

As nice as something like sounds from a philanthropic standpoint - this is the type of language that causes people to march to the polls and vote republican. It amazes me how much resentment comes from people who you would expect to be empathetic with those that are not doing quite as well as they are.......but this is what I hear time and time again: "I worked hard to get what I have and where I am....why should they just "get" stuff for free". And, of course, they profess to be good church going Christians. I just can't listen to it anymore without wanting to puke. Why can't we bump that corporate rate back up just a few percentage points to claw back some of the revenue that is now being lost - and do true "tax reform"....the last one didn't really help the segment of the population that needs it the most. It will be interesting to hear the comments as people start to file their 2018 taxes next spring....it might start to sink in that a lot of them didn't get any real breaks.
