@George-K For my colonoscopies, I wanted the milk of amnesia. Half way through my second prostate biopsy consisting of 22 or 24 samples, I thought similarly. Luckily the radiologist was ex military and we managed to tell tales through the last dozen or so.

@Jolly Korotchenko is a real piece of work. He regularly appears on Russian TV blustering on about how Russia should retaliate against this enemy or that enemy. Today it’s the USA. Ten days ago it was Israel, the week before that, Norway. That khuilo is a loud mouth of no consequence to anyone other than to himself.

@Axtremus no idea. It's a combo modem/router. [image: 1676849598779-image.jpeg]

I think Lemon is on his way out at CNN...

That's pretty cool. HW looks like a muppet.

@Horace So a Ukrainian thinks the West’s goals should be exactly aligned with Ukraine’s goals. Duly noted. Good catch and I trust you have no issue with that fact. Now that you have duly noted it and brought your astute observation to the attention of everyone here reading this thread, I encourage you drop a letter to the editor at Atlantic Council of your discovery.

I've got a couple of ollie-knockers I'll let you have...One for free or two for nuthin'.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition: @George-K said in Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition: A year later: Here's Why Chris Rock Deserved That Slap Though it’s clear a lot of folks still think that the star should be able to joke about whoever (sic) he wants, it seems like they’re ok with it because he is known for going after Black women. You see, it's all about racism. Never mind that the guy who got hit was black, he deserved it. Words have consequences and the consequences should be violence. A quick Google of the woman who wrote that would indicate that she spends her entire life writing, talking and presumably thinking about race. She must be a riot at parties. Sorry, I didn’t mean to say riot. She wouldn't pursue that sort of writing if it wasn't socially advantageous. I'm sure she does just fine at parties.

@Mik said in Hay George: https://thatoregonlife.com/2023/02/cannon-beach-resorts/ We considered the Stephanie Inn. It's a ways south of town, but that's not a problem. It was, however, quite pricey. Great views of the ocean and Haystack rock. We also considered The Inn At Cannon Beach. Much more reasonable than the Stephanie Inn. But...it's not ON the beach. It's a block away, and though nice, I would prefer a better view. The Ocean Lodge would have been our choice - good location, on the beach/ocean with great views. Again, a bit south of town. For our two stays, we were at the Hallmark Inn. We were able to get a 1 bedroom suite, facing the ocean. Our view was right outside of haystack rock, and walking distance to the center of town. A five day stay, all taxes, fees, etc included, in July was about $2500. The only downside is that there's no restaurant on-site.

They look like Pixar characters.

@Axtremus said in American Thinker Du Jour - Health Ethics Edition: @Jolly said in American Thinker Du Jour - Health Ethics Edition: For argument's sake, let us postulate that the ED doc is a devout Christian and does not believe in elective abortion. Can you override his religious liberty, forcing him to terminate a baby (or fetus if it makes you comfortable) using EMTALA? While on a job with regards to performing a job function, the worker's religious liberty should definitely take a back seat to performing the job function. The reasons and analogies/example are already given in my second reply in this thread. Job functions are not enumerated in the Constitution.

Will Medicare cover it? Interesting idea.

The #TwitterFiles have revealed a lot: thousands of moderation requests from every corner of government, Feds mistaking both conservatives and leftists for fictional Russians, even Twitter deciding on paper to cede moderation authority to the “U.S. intelligence community”: These and at least a dozen other newsworthy revelations produced exactly zilch in mainstream news coverage in the last two months: Then House hearings were held last week, at which one witness told a story about Donald Trump asking to remove a mean tweet by Chrissy Teigen. The press went bananas. Now THAT was big news! And it goes on to list further examples. But remember, kids, both sides are equal, both parts of government asked for favors, and there's nothing to see here!

@Axtremus said in Biden's Health Report from His Physician (2023): Ah ... person, woman, man, camera, TV. So, how did Biden score on this. Oh...
