Although, in your case, that ship may have sailed.

Interesting article from SlashGear internet news sight.  I don’t necessarily disagree but I have my thoughts.  The reasons are:

1. It collects too much data: It knows everyone of your searches including the hours you spend on Nasty Night Nurses.com. 
2. Its content is too negative: Comrade Vladimir the Impaler and his cronies fill the columns with hate, fear and ads for expensive noodles and disgusting 2 ingredient bread.
3. It affects your mental health:  There are actually totally whack-o people so messed up by Facebook lies they think re-electing #45 is a good idea. OMG! GET THEM HELP! 
4. It disturbs your sleep:  93% of GenZ say they have lost sleep due to social media.  (For the Boomer generation social media is what the kids use instead of Stephen Colbert and Jimmies Fallon and Kimmel.
5. It wastes too much time:  You could be doing something more productive like trying to pause the Instagram video in time to see the flashing dirty pictures.

If you want the real reasons go to Slashgear.com but do you really have anything better to do anyway?

Are they really conspiracy theories if they are true?  No, they are conspiracy facts!

In 1969 when The Beatles released their eleventh studio album Abbey Road an iconic picture of the fab four crossing the road adorned the album cover.  In the picture Paul McCartney was shoeless prompting rumors of his death.  Some genius played Strawberry Fields backwards and heard John saying “I buried Paul.”  And as further proof a singer named Billy Shears was introduced on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

I have learned from an unimpeachable source that, in fact, Paul did die in 1n 1966 and was replaced by Billy Shears who bore enough of a resemblance to Paul to pass unnoticed.  Although I can’t reveal my source it was given to me at great peril by a man who wished no compensation, glory or gratitude for himself, but humbly accepted $20 and a fifth of Kirkland Vodka as a gesture of goodwill.

The facts speak for themselves!

Pulp Fiction aficionados may recall the scene where Vincent Vega was waxing poetic about how much he loves pork and Jules told him he doesn’t eat pork.  To Vincent’s question “Why not, Pork Chops are good, bacon is good” Jules came back with the above quote.  He told Vincent pigs are filthy animals.  The scene reminded me that we all have self-imposed boundaries we’ve given ourselves for protection.  They stop us from doing things that might be pleasurable but can have deadly consequences. 

Jules doesn’t eat pork, the meat of a filthy animal.  Vincent eats pork but has limits like deciding against trying to bang Mia Wallace because her husband, Marcellus, has been known to throw men off the roof like he did to Tony Rockihara after Tony was rumored to have given Mia a foot rub.

So what are your limits?  What food won’t you eat or what act will you not attempt regardless of the upside because the downside is too risky?  When you think of it please keep it to yourself because no one cares what you do.

On this day in 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon igniting our spirit of adventure and fueling our dreams and hopes for a future of exploration and explanation of the mysteries of our existence.  In reality we have become a nation of fearful sycophants following a narcissistic sociopath into the depths of depravity and oblivion devoid of freedom and individuality.

Have a nice day!

Cut off your head!  Hahahahaha!  Old joke and I’ve used it before.  But this time I can show you the real thing…losing fat, not cutting off your head.

At Sono Bello They say you can lose up to 4 sizes and be “swimsuit ready” in one visit.  Their trademark protected Trisculpt method allows them to employ their multi-area fat removal program with only local anesthetic.  Think mini-vacuum cleaner for fat cells. (That has got to hurt!)

So if you are a gambler and would rather chance death or permanent disfigurement over healthy eating and exercise, Sono Bello might be the Golden Ticket!

If Ben were here today he might rewrite it.  “Most Politicians and Supreme Court Judges smell.”   No 3 day grace period needed.

Sitting at my ASUS laptop it struck me that while the space bar is about 3 1/2” the shift key, arguably as important a key, is only 1 1/2“ in length.  I understand that you use the space bar with both hands but with letter keys at less than 3/4” you could have split the key in two, knock 1/4” off the shift and have room for at least two additional keys.  At last a Jubilee Key can come standard on every keyboard. 

Why doesn’t anyone think to ask me these things before jumping into a critical decision?  I can help!

“…Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community!”
This was the warning Professor Harold Hill delivered to the residents of River City Iowa in the 1957 Broadway premier of Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man.”

Well my friends, we got trouble right here in our country and it’s not a pool table.  The country is being taken over by greedy slime more dangerous than a phony professor selling the idea of a boy’s band to make River City great again.  Let’s hope the citizens open their eyes and this show closes in Palm Beach before getting to Broadway in November.

There’s no business like show business…except politics.

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was the creator of the Statue of Liberty. Born in Alsace, France, in 1834, Bartholdi was a sculptor. In 1865, he proposed building a gigantic statue to represent freedom and democracy for the United States. At first, he wanted to call the statue “The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World”, but that was later cut to the now well-known Statue of Liberty and familiarly, Lady Liberty.

Lady Liberty is currently seeking a new home where individual freedoms are still protected.
