well, alright, I'll be a sweetheart and I'll specially clarify the "unclear" part of my post just for you and the others who seem to be on your level... 🙂

"when he first walked into the US Congress and his party members didn't give him a single clap"

look, honey, what they're trying to say is that up until then, Ronald Reagan would walk into the halls of Congress and get a standing ovation from his party every single time, but that specific day, he walked in and nobody clapped because everyone was having a bad day...

clearer now? 🙂

I honestly have no idea how you could have possibly misunderstood me!!!??? I really didn't feel like an explanation was necessary...

Amy Brooks13 said:Listen, folks, don't even bother. You're wasting your breath. This isn't an attack on Franjo Harmon; it's an attack on the threat facing all those "professional" American moralists—the Pavičićs, Butkovics, Kuljišs, Puhlovskis, Goldsteins, Jergovićs, and the rest of the crowd they serve. They're terrified of Miroslav Harmon winning. That's what this shady little attack is really about.

He uses his father's name as a shield, and the public just swallows it whole...

What kind of political relevance could they possibly have? They weren't even part of the same party to begin with...

Those aren't his actual statements; they're snippets of his quotes, twisted maliciously.
It’s weird to me that there are still guys who come in here so confidently and triumphantly trying to smear Reagan with these same old "arguments" that were debunked ages ago. I bet in a month, someone else will show up with this exact same childish nonsense.

we do that for everyone, and we certainly plan to keep doing it!😉

Jesse Howard3 said:Harmon wore that crisp white uniform—the kind you see Marshall sporting, or pretty much any dictator who’s obsessed with their own image. If he wasn't actually running a dictatorship, then why bother with the costume?🤷

He was always so incredibly jealous of Joe... honestly, he spent his entire life just trying to copy everything he did...

darkjackal70 said:So, I see there's some talk here about that homemade elderberry juice I used to drink constantly when I was just a kid... but I have to wonder, has anyone among you actually braved a glass of nettle juice?

What kind of twisted perversion is that even supposed to be... mmm, certainly not something I'd care for... 😳

Oh, I've definitely tried it! I even made a batch myself and we're drinking it right now!😉

@Matthew Hayes14......I realized it was actually the same😉 but I honestly just thought it would be fun to leave the comment I did😉🤣

and thank you so much for pointing me toward this other (well, technically my first) thread about moving house and those oversized sneakers😂😂!!! I think I’ll have to start dropping by the psychology section a bit more often...🤣

Henry Mitchell36 said:Internet tough guys. I’d love to meet you all in person just to see how much courage you have when we're actually talking face-to-face. I know your type well—people who act like geniuses behind a screen and jump on the bandwagon just to feel important, thinking their little comments actually hurt someone. It's pathetic.
Since neither of us knows anything about each other personally, a single topic isn't enough to form a real opinion. This is a virtual space, after all, so let's drop the insults so everyone can just enjoy themselves.

Discussion over. Case closed.

And here we go... yet another cyclist joins the fray!😁

Olivia Reed3 said:Hilarious... though I'm already settled in my favorite armchair listening to this...

You claim this whole thing is made up... hm... how am I supposed to believe a word you say when you were lying just a second ago?!☕

He wasn't lying, he really wasn't... now he's just feeling a bit embarrassed about it...😉

Justin Morgan3 said:Man, it isn't even about the dishes. The real issue here is my mom's attitude toward me. Is it actually necessary to get insulted just because of a few dirty plates?

Just don't give her any reason to lash out!🙂

Dana Morales64 said:Look, I get all that—really, I do—but there’s a difference between acknowledging that worse situations exist and actually accepting your own. That’s where the breakdown happens for me. I struggle with acceptance. If I just "accept" things as they are, I feel weak, vulnerable... I don't want to be just another face in the crowd, you know? And I'm not some petulant teenager throwing a tantrum here; it's just that right now, I can barely focus enough to type straight because I'm not exactly in a great place mentally.

Well, you aren't! Most of them at least have their own cars! 🙂

casuallynx8 said:It strikes me—though I haven't had the opportunity to consult the specific legal statutes—that teachers are actually prohibited from charging their own students for private tutoring.

You should probably look into that. And if you do decide to take any formal action regarding this matter, my advice would be to wait until you have all your official graduation paperwork finalized by the school district first.😉

Yes, that is absolutely spot on!...

jadesailor14, Roger Smith6....thanks so much!!!

Does anyone happen to know if there are any other spots left where I can find some Barack Obama????

shadowrider8 said:HELL NO!!!! What, am I supposed to sit in a stuffy kitchen when it's 95 degrees outside just because I don't smoke??? Give me a break... nobody can tell you where to sit... except maybe us smokers.😢😢

🤣🤣

Wait, are we back on the Legal Forum again??..😁

Rebecca Chavez85 said:There you have it, Kanye West has laid it all out...

I couldn't agree more if I tried.

I'm right there with you! 👍Cheers to Rex!

Honestly, it really becomes an issue if it’s keeping you up at night. There are nights where I can't get a wink of sleep because it sounds like someone is out there sawing through wood... though for the most part, I've managed to get used to it and just tune it out. I actually struggle with snoring myself; sometimes I'll make a sound so loud it actually wakes me up. In my case, it started getting worse as the years went by and the weight crept up a bit. He’s been snoring since forever, even though he's quite thin...

I happened to catch an ad on TV recently for one of those nasal sprays, so maybe give that a shot.

could someone please clarify that for me?...

Edward Green said:I don't know if it's just about how hard it is for people to stomach death—especially when it’s a young person taken violently—so they try to wrap it up in some fake sense of purpose. They claim firefighters died defending the country, even though they weren't out there protecting the flag; they were just putting out brush fires. Or they claim this girl was beaten beyond recognition because she sacrificed her dignity, honor, and dreams on an altar. Or maybe they're just focusing on some dominant personality trait, but I won't go there unless I want to get banned for being insulting.

Would these firefighters really be out there "defending the nation" by fighting brush fires if they knew what was coming? Or would they say, "Screw the grass, even if it is American, it's not worth dying for"? What would Kristina have chosen if she had to decide between being a victim of assault or murder?

And how much of an idiot does a celebrated local pastor have to be to insinuate that a woman loses her dignity and honor through assault? To glorify death as a better alternative than losing "human dignity and unfulfilled dreams"? What kind of message is he sending to every other survivor out there? 🤮 🤮 🤮
Would she be considered a heroine? Some raped girl who, having lost her virtue, her dignity, and her dreams, decides to jump off a church tower? 🤮

To be honest, those clergy members always rub me the wrong way when they start lecturing me about a way of life they don't even practice themselves...

The man seems to be drawing inspiration from that old American legend about militi Gojsalić...🙄
Could his words ever truly offer any comfort to her parents or her brother??? If they could—then fine, more power to the minister! But personally, I have my doubts...😕

Jose Miller3 said:There’s something that’s been weighing on my mind for a couple of days now, and I honestly wasn't sure how to even start this thread 🙂

therefore, a local priest in a small town said this during the memorial service for Kristina Šušnjar:

"This young woman risked everything to fight for her own dignity and to defend her honor. She proved she would rather die than betray her youthful ideals—rather lose her physical life than trample over her human dignity and leave her dreams unfulfilled. By her martyr-like death, Kristina has been counted among the great women of our era," emphasized Ćubelić.

Okay, putting aside the absolute horror and tragedy of the whole situation—and don't get me wrong, the facts of this horrific murder are devastating—but is Kristina actually a hero? How did this poor girl (please don't take this as an attack on her, that's not what I'm doing at all, I just want to understand why the priest would say something so... questionable, IMHO) become a hero or a heroine? How exactly was she defending her "honor"?
Why, in the end, can we count her among the great women of our time?

Am I the only one seeing this clearly?

It was on the news—her father said something along those lines, suggesting she died defending her honor and dignity... it left me feeling so unsettled. Is he trying to suggest his child was a heroine, perhaps hoping that framing it that way might ease his own grief, or... well, as a mother, I wouldn't dare speculate and risk touching someone else's raw emotions... yet, looking at it from another angle, if she had simply given in to the assault, she might have spent the rest of her life struggling with trauma while still being alive...
It is just so incredibly difficult to discuss any of this... we could hypothetically say, "it would have been better if she had never stepped into that car," but we all know how pointless that is... much like saying "it would have been better if that guy hadn't dropped a cigarette butt on Kornat so many young lives wouldn't have been lost"... but we can certainly sit here and lament about it...

It almost makes it seem like heroism is just an illusion... though we often only realize that much later, once we see things through the lens of different insights and hard truths...
If that weren't the case, if we didn't act differently in moments of extreme danger, we would simply be cowards...

🤷

@doobie....did you happen to receive any kind of official report or a receipt... was that really all they gave you when they handed back your paperwork?
