Why would he? He has all of the Republicans lining up to kiss his arse. He is only running so he can possibly win and either pardon himself and/or call off the other trials. His rhetoric has led the GOP to firmly believe that the only way he can lose is if the elections are stolen or rigged. Repe...

As a retired Accpunting Controller, you miss the intellectual stimulation but you never miss the bullshite or the assholes you had to deal with. And you never miss rush hour traffic in Houston....
I have used that device. Let me explains for all you immature people who feel good by ridiculing others. At age 72, the most helpless feeling you can have is during the recovery from a level 3 back fusion surgery at L2, L3 and L4. Your recovery in the surgical unit will last for 3 days. During...

And Trump got busted. Just look at Trump's wife. You are married to that great looking specimen and you still feel the need to get some strange on the side? He deserves all the shame he will get, that is if he can feel shame....

Let's review the whole situation. Trump allegedly gets horny and decides to bag a porn star. She then decides to make some money off of it. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Trump wants the whole thing to go away as it is just before the election. At this point, Instead of just paying her of...
We literally have the little old lady/man car. My wife inherited her father's 2009 Toyota RAV 4 in 2017. No exaggeration, It had 15,000 miles on it along with the original tires. The tires were dry rotting so I replaced them. Here we are in 2024 and yes, we are both retired. That RAV 4 now has ...

For mine, every chug of that nasty crap was followed up with a chug of apple juice. Made it somewhat tolerable....
Many posters here were happy when Republicans took control of the state basically introducing the potential for one party rule. The next step is to create a new constitution that would heavily favor one party rule. Assume that passes. Now you really have one party rule with a constitution to back...

So much rain this morning

Posted by Purplehaze on 5/2/24 at 11:36 am
I live in the Spring/Woodlands area north of Houston. It has been raining since 7 AM. We did get some winds that the local TV outlets said were clocked at 70 mph. I have a large 5" rain gauge. Using binoculars, I could see that the gauge had overflowed by 9:30 am. Power is out and I do bless th...
These protesters apparently did not know about the law of the 5 P's. Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance....
I lived through it and was lucky enough to get into the National Guard from 1969 to 1975. We did riot training at Ft Polk and Camp Beauregard 4 times a year. Sometimes with riot batons and other times with M-1's and bayonets. We were prepared. The protests in 1968 were worse due to MLK and R...
We have none of those issues. We have a yearly audit that always comes back clean. The biggest concern is do we get flowers on the medians changed out twice a year or 3 times a year....
I have lived in a HOA subdivision north of Houston for 28 years and we currently pay $525 a year. There are 3,306 homes. The population of our subdivision is about 12,000. We have pools, basketball and volleyball courts and a dog park. The current HOA has approximately $750,000 in emergency funds...
Very simple. Just post the videos of Trump talking. Then post his history of constant lawsuits (over 4,000), refusing to pay his bills, realize he fooled round on wife #1 with wife #2. Then fooled around with future wife #3. Then had a one nighter with a porn star while wife #3 was at home with ...
There was a time when segments of the population advocated for trained and armed individuals who could be called resource officers, sheriff's deputies or police officers assigned to schools. Then someone did the math to figure out how many would be needed and that was a large and staggering number ...
We still have the itemized bill for the delivery of our first child on Nov 26, 1977. The most memorable was $25.00 for the shaving kit, a disposable razor, small sample type can of shaving cream and a small plastic container for water....
