It’s almost the New Year. I’m dreading it. My only resolution is to remain in the ranks of NOT MY PRESIDENT, and never normalize this freak or his agenda. He is not normal, this is not normal, and I want to do my part to make sure that Trump’s ideas and visions are not easily passed. All these weeks later, and I’m still horrified that he is it. Feels like a kick in the gut every time I think about it.
PS: I’ve missed coming here, enjoying catching up on all the old comments. Hope all had good holidays, Hanukkah, Christmas, Festivus, whichever is your bent.

Such talent is awe inspiring. I think some (most?) people are just born with it, innate rather than learned. At least I hope so. 4 years of piano lessons and nothing stuck with me, all the practice in the world didn’t help to get much beyond technically playing a song. Others pick up an instrument and just know how it should sound, and that’s freakin’ incredible. :-) A round of Heart and Soul anyone? I’ll play the high end.
I meant you’re not lazy! LOL I make no comment on your playing, only to say we are generally more harsh critics of ourselves than others would be. I’m tone deaf, would probably think you were the 2nd coming of BB King. :-P
To you, too! 2016 so close to winding down now, it went terribly fast. Terribly. And fast. Maybe someone could post some puppy videos or something, who doesn’t love a puppy video? No one. :-)
The
first CIA interrogator of Saddam Hussein John Nixon, author of the new book,
“Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein.” Is an amazing
interviewed on Democracy Now, and you can’t find any other news organization talking or mentioning
Johns book, it just amazes me what we (they) consider news. I appreciate being able to
present topics, on sites such as this, that would otherwise not see the light of day on our BS news channels.

when we were kids we lived near steep grass covered hills so after the grass died and was really slick we would take big coagulated boxes to the top and get in a ride them down, no steering and no brakes….what could go wrong……
Wishing everyone here all the best for the New Year, as daunting as it clearly is.
We can all hope for miracles, cosmic shifts so the good guys finally win, a Festivus Miracle, Divine Intervention from FSM, or whatever…just let it happen.
Wishing all friends from Alan. com the best possible year, luck, love, health, prosperity and…resilience, courage, and excellent humor. Happy New Year!!!
I wonder how a widowed professor who raised her two boys and has been caregiving for both disabled parents for years can be called a wh*re. Is this your idea of a joke?
It was drunk me’s ideal.
Sober me apologizes, and wishes he hadn’t posted something that is kind of an in joke amongst the people I know.(has to do with shouting an insult, then stopping short and doing a 180…bad form on my part, Gina.)
Actually I think you’re not. Because you are not the first one here to hint that out of the blue. Would you be trying to bully me out of here, I wonder… Absolutely on false premises.
That’s very sweet of you Clementine. It was a year of tremendous losses that came with dad’s passing away. I really hope 2017 will be better. Our hearts cannot take much more. :)

I agree; been strumming a guitar for 40 years, but there’s just something “missing” from me that this guy has.
Maybe I’m just lazy.
