Yeah, but you got a purty mouth.

@AndyD said in Completely random: and age-hunched this I have really noticed also. But, that is a natural part of aging, especially for someone who has not taken too good of care of himself.

@Axtremus said in HUD website right now: Just checking ... Still better than the alternative, right? No need to stress. I’ll tell you when it isn’t.

Amazing what it can do.

Cool gesture. I just hope the world will be understanding if the kid sells it.

@89th Yes. (As I have say before, the US President Press Secretary has to be one of the worst jobs to have. Stand up and say with a straight face things that are absolutely wrong or just lies.)

LOL I heard about that. The wanted the current Czech president to read it as it was opened, and it was a good thing that he declined.

https://fortune.com/2025/09/30/what-happened-soybean-farmers-argentina-china-scott-bessent-phone-texts/ According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretary’s $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans and striking a huge new deal with China. That diminished the price of U.S. soybeans and weakened U.S. trade leverage with China, which immediately pulled out of its existing arrangements with soybean farmers in America’s heartland. The photo taken by Angelina Katsanis for the Associated Press last week shows Bessent reading a text that appears to be from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. “Finally—just a heads up, I’m getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate,” the text said. “We bailed out Argentina yesterday and in return, the Argentine’s [sic] are removing their export tariffs on grains, reducing their price, and sold a bunch of soybeans to China, at a time when we would normally be selling to China. Soy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us.” [image: AP25268801206056-e1759238604667.jpg?w=1440&q=90]

I may just borrow one from my brother for a while to see if it sticks.

There’s a story that has long floated around Hollywood. Early in his career a director wanted him to do a scene in which his character was rejected by a girl he was interested in. Redford had have it explained to him what that was like.

@Mik said in Seal Team 6 - Failed mission in North Korea in 2019: Swell. Now Kim knows about it. Maybe he only knows what we want him to know.

Odds are you will never need the below, but just maybe............ LOL If you are expecting a phone call and running out of battery on your phone, change your voice mail message to address that person. (Or if you are somewhere (broken down car) for example and running out of battery, change your voice mail to your location, etc.)

I certainly hope so.

I'm getting one of those for both management and marital discussions.

Unfortunately I'll be in Vermont that week.
