DUers...this is important information!

You may have a stock pile of food and other necessities for a while in case things get worse with the Pandemic. And we all hope these things are not needed.

BUT...there is something else EVERYONE should make sure they have.

A current WILL and Power of Attorney
. You can't be too careful with your possessions concerning fate whether it happens later or sooner. With the advent of the Virus, without a will, can you afford to take a chance that your family might lose everything you worked and saved for over the years? Not to mention losing a house due to nursing home costs and/or Estate Recovery Costs (in many states they can take your possessions as compensation for provided health care and/or many other things) or other Federal or State Laws you may not be aware of!

Make sure your will is current, signed, notarized and witnessed. Make sure others have copies! That can be very important!
And for goodness sake, if you don't have a will or POA yet, get one made up before it's too late! Do it as soon as possible.

Your Power of Attorney should make sure enough of a succession line of relatives or whomever is enumerated in case you and your spouse (and possibly next of kin, also) should both pass on. Name those you want, but put them all in descending order. This may not be required in some states but it's better to be cautious.

It's something most of us don't want to talk about but it's really necessary to make sure your spouse or children don't get shafted by states or the government.

And don't forget to tell your friends and relatives, too.

It can ease your mind.

From Mad Magazine: Scenes we'd like to see...

...or hear as I'm no artist.

After being sworn, 20 seconds after starting his Presidential Address on January 20th 2021, while in the company of current and previous officials, President Biden says this:

"My fellow Americans, we need to start rebuilding America's Infrastructure. I want to let you all know that as soon as this speech is over, on this podium, in front of all Americans and the media, I will sign an Executive Order into law to tear down and remove a great deal of no longer needed, misused steel from the border between America and Mexico.

It will be used in America where I'm sure many better uses can be found for it. I was told by our scientists and engineers that it can be repurposed for a lot less than the original constuction costs.

Further, I am authorizing the many immigrant workers along with their families who lost their jobs, green cards, visas and potential American Citizenship through no fault of their own to be hired at decent wages and healthcare to help remove the steel so it can be used properly for our country.

My Second Executive Order will be to remove immediately the caged people from those disgusting, unhealthy conditions and see to it that not only they get proper medical treatment but they are moved to better, more humane living quarters in a climate they may be more familiar with, probably in Florida...near Miami. Those who took pleasure in mistreating the immigrants and those who wouldn't provide health care, denied them legal assistance and even basic human needs will be held totally accountable for their actions.

My Third Executive Order will restore all overturned Environmental Laws enacted by the Obama Administration so we can start cleaning up the mess recenty left for us and get back on track for a cleaner, healthier country and world for all people and not just for some who feel entitled.


A scene I'd like to see and hear.

Please feel free to suggest your own thoughts.

Calling all Anti-Vaxers...

will you be the first in line for the new vaccine or slink to the back? How about your kids?

Haven't heard much from the ilk that claim vaccines cause problems and/or don't work.

Paging Mr. Kennedy!

Remember When Oranges had Seeds? or Watermelons?

Need a bit of something to help pass those long hours at home?
Try a couple of these. But a word of caution...Pinterest is addictive!

Remember When 1?

Remember When 2?

Hint: If you happen to click on an item and it takes you to a page that is "darkened",
in the URL address bar (very top of your page), click the last few letters & numbers after the slash and delete them.
Example - highlight and delete "/?d=t&mt=login"

Then click and highlight the rest of the address and hit "enter"
Example - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/609111918332056054/

You can also enter a subject in the Pinterest Seach Bar and go wherever the mood takes you!

You could spend hours looking for things and not realize the time that passes.

Enjoy.

Trump's the kind of guy you don't like at first...

but grow to hate!

Pardon this rant.

The following is harsh and my feelings...maybe not everyone's but maybe at least those who feel this way yet won't admit it.

Back in the late 80s on a couple of old, slow 300 baud BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems for you younger readers) a nasty "text only meme" was written and passed around. It started out as a joke but was used to describe those who were (and currently are) without worth. It was called a "Flame" because when you insulted someone you were said to flame them.

Here is that 32 year old "Flame" that may offend some but which describes my feelings toward Trump. No apologies for it. It's long and nasty but with no profanity or obscenity.

*************************************************************

You are an idiot.

A moron of the highest order. You're so stupid it's a wonder you can remember to breathe. Intelligent ideas bounce off your head as if it were coated with Teflon. Creative thoughts take alternate transportation in order to avoid even being in the same state as you. If you had an original thought it would die of loneliness before the hour was out.

On an intelligence scale of 1 to 10 (10 corresponding to the highest attainable IQ) you're rating is so far into negative numbers that one would need to travel into another quantum reality in order to even catch a distant glimpse of it. Your personality is that of a rabid Chihuahua intent on destroying its own tail. Your powers of observation are like that of the bird who keeps slamming into the picture window trying to get that other bird it keeps seeing. You are walking, talking proof that you don't have to be sentient to survive, and that Barnum was thinking of you when he uttered his immortal phrase regarding the birth of a sucker.

You are, at varying times, tedious, boring, earth shatteringly hilarious in your idiocy; childish, moronic, pathetic, wretched, disgusting and pitiful.

You are wholly without any redeeming social grace or value. If God ever decides to give the planet an enema you'd better run like the wind because anywhere you stand is a suitable place for The Insertion. There is no animal so disgusting, so vile that it deserves comparison to you, for even the lowest, dirtiest, most parasitic member of the animal kingdom fills an ecological niche. You fill no niche. To call you a parasite would be injurious to the thousands of honest parasitic species.

You are worse than vermin, for vermin do not pretend to be what it is not. You are truly human garbage. You are a fraudulent, lying, predatory charlatan. You are of less worth than a burnt-out light bulb. You will forever live in shame. You have nothing to say, and Godwin's Law does not apply when writing about you.

You are the anti-Midas, for all that you touch becomes valueless and unusable. Mothers gather their children close when you appear. You are an aberration, a corruption, a boil that needs to be lanced. You are a poison in need of being vomited. You are a tooth so rotten it infects the whole body. You are sperm that should have been captured in a condom and flushed down a toilet.
I don't like you. I don't like anybody who has as little respect for others as you do. Go away, you swine.

You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a curdled staggering mutant smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. Meaningful to no one, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts that sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, and a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you stink? Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease. You are a puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.

On a good day you're a halfwit. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, study, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

Have a Great Day, Loser

Let's Remind ALL Republican Senators and Congress People

We need to retweet every idiotic, assinine tweet from Trump to EVERY Republican Senator and Congressional Person...just to remind them what they voted for - in case they forgot or may ever claim they didn't know.

A few hundred thousand simple reminders for every Trump Tweet for them to know who and what they support.

Pre Pandemic exercise by Trump admin Last year? NYT

This is curious and if true probably will start some truthers conspiracy theories that the Coronavirus was really a 2019 911 setup!
Administrations supposedly do these and other kinds of "exercises" or "simulations" all the time.
Interesting read one way or the other.

Pandemic Exercise - Last January thru August 2019

NO Hospital Ships are moving! He lied! Again!

In an article from balloon-juice.com:

[link:https://www.balloon-juice.com/2020/03/19/covid-19-national-security-part-ii-the-usns-mercy-and-the-usns-comfort-are-not-afloat-they-are-not-making-steam-for-new-york-and-the-pacific-northwest/|No Ships are coming
]

He's lying to us again and it looks as though the media hasn't even bothered to check.
