Pertaining to you and I. If you are willing to “hug it out” as you once suggested to me, then I am on board. The back and fourth between you and I awhile back, is what put me on guard with certain members on the forum.

Republicans are looking like they would like someone that wants to bring the country together rather than destroy democracy and further the division. It appears there are growing concerns that endorsing Trump or a Trump like candidate will put the jobs of some republicans in congress at risk, negatively impacting the support of Republicans in congress. My guess there are many that are hoping his is indicted. I think the task of the Democrats is to choose a younger candidate that is strong and with a proven record or a prominent celebrity. My preference would be a comedian.

Peace Happy. Let's keep it light and breezy. You seem to enjoy jokes and beer like me.



p.s. try to be nice to BC as well. He's got a good heart like you.

Peace it is Maruzo. :thumbup: I like breezy! Yeah, I’ve been known at times to be a joker. A cold beer on a hot day, yum! Although these days I’ve been keeping it 0.0% alc., but their just as refreshing.

BC and I have expressed our feelings thoroughly. By now I think we should be capable of finding common ground. It is my opinion that BC is a very intelligent person, and I know he means well with his suggestions.

Thank you for the heart comment. I do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. :D

Bill Maher perhaps? I love his wit and opinions on this country's state of affairs.

I thought Zelensky is doing well as a leader. At least he didn't abandon his people when Russia invaded.

Bill Burr has a straight shooter attitude on a lot of issues as well. I like how he dislikes women who choose to have an abortion but backs their right to make that choice regardless.

My wife and I finally got this latest mutation of Covid. We went to a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the North Texas Golden Retriever rescue. The next day the host called to say she has Covid. My wife had a long conversation with her and I did with her husband. We both have had the vaccine and the two boosters. Delayed our vacation to Wisconsin. We had a cough and runny nose like a summer cold. My wife is fine. I still have a dry cough in the evening. I had it twice. i got it she got it and I got it again. Both times the same. I didn't stop doing things around the house, even mowing the yard with temp at 104 degrees. C'mon and celebrate the rescue. Menu is surf and turf and Covid for desert.

I carry a N95 mask on me and only put it on if I hear a cough around me or if I just didn’t feel safe for whatever reason. LOL

Still haven’t caught it but it maybe I’m just asymptomatic. Fingers crossed!
