But it's good to call for America to protect its borders. Right? Unless you're FOR illegal aliens. Yanno what what Trump is NOT doing? He's not turning one half of America against the other half, pitting blacks against whites, atheists against Christians, and advocating that 'they' be jailed because of some made-up crime of 'extremism' He's not calling for more war (except in the mideast, which is a terrible mistake). He's not calling for censorship bc of some made up crime of 'disinformation" or 'hate speech' He's not imposing social values from some central authority He's advocating re-industrialization He wants border control. How is any of that 'bad'? Dood, we've had four years of you, and look where we are now. Our military is in one hot war, and trying to divide itself between that and two others. We've been invaded by tens of millions of illegal aliens. We're broke, nationally, financially, and individually. We're worse off than four years ago Why should you get another bite of the apple? ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger Americans support America

Been a while since I did that. I think I slept on a mattress on the floor for a few weeks when I first moved into this house while I was taking care of more important stuff like gutting all of the mold out of the basement. I remember the last apartment I had the only things I brought with me were a TV, a DVD player, a few DVDs and my inflatable mattress. Moving sucks. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Back after 5pm today and no luck. Regular game tomorrow. Here's hoping for better luck today, BRENDA. ***** Well, I did a quick pricing out of two approaches to the irrigation system. One option is to take out the current automatic sprinkler valves, many of which leak or are stuck (There are ten of them) from each zone and replace them with ball valves. But in order to do that, I'd need to have a pressure regulator and pressure vacuum breaker (PVB, anti-siphon) valve installed on the main irrigation supply line to replace the ones that are part of the current (old) individual controller valves. I would have to manually open and close each valve on each zone to irrigate. That means that automatic watering in wee hours, when the soil is at its coolest -and best for natives- probably wouldn't happen bc who the hell is gonna get up at 0300 just to crank some valves? OTOH ball valves are extremely reliable, and I wouldn't have any out of control or stuck zones running invisibly in the early AM. The purist in me favors that approach. The other option is to go around and just replace like for like, with new automatic sprinkler valves all the way around. I would also need to replace the programmable controller box, which is a POS, and add a second controller box for the backyard. That would allow me to test each backyard zone under direct observation without having to run back and forth between the backyard and the current controller box which is in the front, and which is a PITA. Material wise, it's a wash. Having to put an expensive pressure regulator and PVB up front is counterbalanced by having to buy 10 moderately expensive automatic sprinkler valves and 2 controllers all the way around. But labor wise, I would need a plumber to put in the pressure regulator and PVB which would be an additional cost. I think it's worth the $$ but hubby's $$ too, so I'll see what he thinks. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger

Am I taking Russia's side? Am I selling secrets to the Chinese? Am I supporting a despotic takeover of our government, promoting censorship, advocating jailing journalists, supporting racism, otherwise NOT defending the Constitution, or cheering on American economic decline? Son, I'm not trying to tear down AMERICA. I'm criticizing the politicians and bureaucrats and media who seem to be betraying America. THEY DESERVEDLY LOST MY TRUST during Vietnam era. I learned that they can make terrible mistakes (at best) and actively betray us (at worst). They CONTINUE to lose my trust. Do you honestly think that, looking at the raft of problems we face, that this is the best that well-intentioned, patriotic politicians and bureaucrats and can accomplish??? If not, then how the hell did we get here? I have asked myself (and you) "WHAT ARE AMERICA'S INTERESTS?" I've answered that question. YOU haven't. So maybe I should ask the inverse: WHAT ARE AMERICA'S PROBLEMS? And please, don't tell me we don't have any. Quote: THG: You need to remove the American flags from your signature. Why? Quote: THG: Trust me, I'm here until you stop. I post the American flag bc the only flag you post is Ukrainian, along with "Americans support Ukraine". Seems confused loyalties on your part. Americans should support America, don't you think? I delete the flags here bc this thread is, IMHO, apolitical. It's supposed to be one place where we can just talk as people, and not treat each other as "enemies". It's too bad you can't stop treating people who disagree with you as an "enemy", and that you can't shut off your hostility. Let's talk somewhere else.

That whole idea of never being able to touch anybody you care about because you will kill them... She's essentially the most powerful mutant of all the mutants assuming she can get close enough to somebody to steal their powers, but it's the worst possible power you could have at the same time. Yeah. I just double checked after getting your hopes up and Gambit IS in D&W. He's played by Channing Tatum. I don't believe he's ever been in anything I've watched, but believe he's quite the ladies man. Not sure how well he fits in the roll. I remember now my old man mentioning it to me the day after he saw it when he said that Wesley Snipes was in it playing Blade too. My old man has 2 copies of X-Men #1-100 in great condition. He stopped collecting comics some time before I was born though so he didn't even know who Gambit was. He said he thinks that a lot of the jokes went over his head in that movie because he is so far behind on comics and he wants to watch it again so I can fill him in on things. I'll be able to do some of that, but at this point I'm about 20 years behind on comic lore myself. Yeah. Hugh IS Wolverine. Oh... and they're going to have a hell of a time replacing Beast too. When I first heard that Kelsey Grammer was going to play Beast I got a pretty good laugh out of that, but he was perfect in that role with a lot of makeup and a little CGI. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine.

I had to give up collecting before my mom died because I was looking after her so much. Didn't have the time. I've some how managed to keep up with them without collecting, so we shall see when I see this movie. Oh, Hugh definitely is. I remember wondering, "Huh" when I heard about Kelsey as Beast. But he was good in the part. Beast is a smart dude and a doctor. So perfect match.

I've watched him on on off the last few years. Just yesterday I was watching their video on the 2000 X-Men movie. And he was playing the roll of the older guy who was young when the X-Men movie came out trying to sell the young guy on how great the original X-Men movies were so they watched it together. They made a joke in there I thought was pretty funny about the first time you saw Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. They show the scene in that cage fight where he turns around for the first time with the shirt off and the young guy said "did I just become gay"? And the Nostalgia Critic says "we all did". Oh... Happy birthday Brenda. I didn't see that until just now. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.
