A truth teller. Those are always welcome.
And yet more irony....
a chemical process designed for destruction becomes a life saving heart medication.
Thats awesome, Ive never met Royalty. There was an incident recently where Lebron James was meeting the princess and in a photo he's touching her arm. He was all sweaty as well.
I like older male patients because they hit on the nurses and cute physicians at work. :lol:
Yup. Viagra was developed for the same heart patients, and ended up being used in other ways.
Lets see if he stays that way. I suspect the death threats he and his family received for his policies will inspire him. His children have been harassed in grocery stores, and someone threatened to "gut his wife like a deer".
Im reminded of Reagan who was initially a democrat, even doing campaign ads for Truman. And then one day he met a stalinist marxist who told him that despite this fact that if Stalin was able to beat the US, that Reagan would be imprisoned and then killed-all without missing a beat.
Reagan would later be threatened by marxists many more times, from within the actors guild to in the white house. Im sure it was influential to him.
They were a terrorist organization whose goal was the overthrow of Saddam. What they became as a result of our going into Iraq is a much, much stronger terrorist organization that is a threat to us. So yeah, it makes a difference.
Royalty really IS different and I sensed in my few encounters they have great discomfort and anxiety with the public world.
BTW, for Expo I was in a receiving line with Chuck and Di, he has a hell of a hand shake, she was a wet fish, no eye contact. Chuck got me into talking about sailing so I invited him out to which he famously replied "Dear me, I should say that as an officer in the Royal Navy the last place you should have me is on a sailboat."
I have discovered that we do not have to hit on anyone....they come to us. Not kidding, I am approached all the time by women in the early 20's. I confess though, I have cultivated the look, I am fit, 6' 210, with white hair and beard and a snappy African walking stick.
I think they have the mistaken belief that I am "safe"....
but had I known then what I have come to know about women now, I would not have gotten to be old....
That one I know about, I had a friend who made the pleasant discovery as a heart patient...
however by that time acting on it is dangerous
It has been awhile since I read it, but Peggy Noonan's book on Reagan "When Character Was King" deals with that. Not surprisingly, what never changed in his life was his faith, which intertwined with his ideology....we forget this guy cracked wise to the surgeons when he was shot "Please be Republicans"...
Think Obama would be that cool?
LOL Moussaoui was caught training at a commercial aircraft flight school not on a home computer. I'de say that is a difference. The fact that they didn't even check the other schools to see who was training says volumes about the mindset of our intelligence services at the time. They were obviously afraid to find out something that Bush would not like hearing. Like a REAL Al Qaeda plot.
I
George Tenet's disgraceful new book.
I have not yet seen any published or aired strategy that I could support.
I love the irony that men age better, especially with all the princesses running around here.
At work we have a "sexy cold war" going on between the medical staff, all the younger ones trying to out do each other. Im sure to tell each when they look nice, gotta stir the pot.
There are some stunning nurses, but they have to wear scrubs.
Obama would probably threaten the surgeons just before he was put under anesthesia.
Ha....
I know about the "General Hospital" syndrome, my first was a cardiac care nurse and my doc and I are best friends...
Now take that atmosphere into live television, a newsroom of 80% women and seven out of eleven on air talent are "hair dos that talk".
Now try being the producer.....
Yes, and when we are careful we do age much better. The truth is guys like me are rare. Every man my age I know was diagnosed diabetic got the scrip, ignored the classes and went on eating the **** that got them there. My diabetes clinic treats me like Eisenhower arriving in Europe - here's one did what we said! Almost every guy I know gave up exercise long ago and a former friend I used to hike into the mountains and fish with invested in a buggy some while back and never walked again. Screw fishing, he could live two years on body fat
Damn those 1% ers!
make a tax now
I'm all for eliminating all forms of means tested benefits and special tax deals. I'm also all for eliminating Obamacare, I have never supported it, and I met with congress a year before it was signed into law to oppose it.
But no, I'm not one of the extremist idiots who believe that government should be restrained to just was was mentioned in the constitution. I hate the hypocrisy of those who will argue that, then turn around and argue that we have any business in Iraq.
I believe that it's in our best interest to contain ISIS, "over there". Other than that, it's really not much of our bitness.
I could care less if muslums kill each other. None of those people are "good". I don't believe it's possible for us to establish a good government in any part of that world. Even our closest allies in that region are our enemies.
We certainly shouldn't start trying to change governments all over the world by force. History has proven that doesn't work out so well.
I will take your bet. How much are you putting up?
I asked you what strategy you would recommend, not strategies that you wouldn't.
Your reputation.
In a honest bet - both sides put up something they value. What are your putting up?
Talking hair do's. :lamo
The irony of DM is that if people would control their sugar levels, almost all of the comorbidities would disappear. Tragically by the time many of them do appear the damage is done.
My reputation against yours. There are other things that are valuable besides money.
I'm betting that if the terrorists start regularly attacking us on American soil, you would be among the first to scream: "Why didn't we stop them overseas?!"
Your reputation.
