Re: Eye floaters
Everything has calmed down for the most part. At least I'm not see the dark spots/lines anymore. Depending on the light, whenever I look down I see what looks like a little puff of white smoke out of the corner of my right eye. It's not bad but every now and then it still startles me. It's hard to b...

Pretend It's A City with Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese Really, really good. If you've lived in New York or frequented the City it's really funny, good even if you haven't.

Re: What's annoying you today?
Poor gas station etiquette (aka assholes at the gas station). I pulled into a small, very busy gas station with two aisles and four pumps (2 pumps in each aisle). One aisle is occupied with two cars, so I pull into the next aisle which is closest to the front door of the store/station. This aisle cl...

Re: Coronavirus
Sorry to hear about your friend KV.
People in my area take mask-wearing and social distancing very seriously. It seems so odd when I see/read about people in other areas being so cavalier about it.

Eye floaters
Does anyone experience having these freaky things? I had an abrupt introduction with them on Wed. They started out early in the day as small gray bubbles here and there in my right eye. Then the bubbles got furry. My husband said they were eye floaters. Around 11 p.m. I started seeing huge , black, ...

One contributing factor for the decline of that particular area is that a bridge connecting to a recovery center/homeless shel...

Re: Donald Trump running for President.
If DJT is convicted in the Senate after his term, another vote can be held to bar him from running for office again. He can also lose benefits granted under the Post President's Act (pension, travel expenses etc.) https://www.archives.gov/about/laws/for ... dents.html

I have clearly disputed those "specifics." Really? Where?

No one has seen the actual trial data. The process has been acce...

I think most of the US is going to be in serious trouble by New Years, far moreso than at any point so far. The arc of new cases is simply out of control. There's just so many stupid, selfish people out there. And politicians are useless and government run services and general medical care are star...

Re: Donald Trump running for President.
Trump's lawyers just dumped him. I was surprised this firm was even representing DJT since Don McGahn is one of the partners. McGahn was involved in the Trump campaign and later became White House counsel. His relationship with Trump was fraught with tension. He left in Oct 2018. He did not leave on...
