You Have So Many Wonderful Posts, And Many Others And I Enjoy Them. Likewise, I Enjoy What You Have To

We used to shop at this Publix in Cocoa Beach - eventually Publix built a new one in town, walking distance from our condo, and sold the building to Winn-Dixie.

We have a shot of Copper after he did a flop in his cage. I’d been trying to get a picture of him doing this for several months, but I’m 1) too slow, 2) too noisy, or he’s 3) got super hearing - or all of these. Being a lop, I had not considered the advantages of having big, flexible ears, As in this picture, he can put one of those big boys down over his eye to make it dark enough to fall asleep. Being handicapped in this area, I have to resort to a pillow on my head. Rest easy, little boy, more fruit and vegetables are heading your way.

Overhead view, while I had the chance to get it.

A quick calculation:

If the helicopter service cost $15 in 1965 (for example), that would be the equivalent of $134.04 today.

I could see a New York cab ride costing that much in 2023.

Why?

Why does this criminal whiny little bitch get to come up with a lower bond total?

The prosecutors have the evidence, displayed it in court, he was found guilty and had a bond amount to pay. It’s a large amount but the total was judged to be the amount he shorted the state by having a variable amount to his building’s value.

If regular people, you and me, had a huge amount we owed in a court case due to manipulating valuations, do you think we’d get a break like this? Or do you think they’d immediately seize your home and property and possessions?

So he couldn’t come up with $464 million. If you can’t afford the consequences, don’t do the crime.

This criminal has skated on every evil, malicious and self-serving deed he’s done in his life, and there’s a whole library of noxious deeds that he’s done. You think he won’t come up with the $175 million instead to appeal his barges? Maybe he won’t, but for the sake of this country and people, let’s not drag this out any longer. We have the rule of law, and that says that in cases like this, the amount fined and interest is what the guilty party has to come up with. No gimmes, do-Overs, Kings X, fingers crossed, or any other child’s play: it’s time me to apply the law as it’s written.

Hi Allhailthe 70shousewife! I’m pretty sure I’m not your mom (although I’m probably in that age range … I’ve got to say that I love ❤️ your site! It’s a beautiful place to me - to see the catalog pages of what kids were wearing when I was in school, the ads I remember, the pictures of people at that time, everything! So much nostalgia! I also strongly support the causes that you occasionally post on here (go vote kids - it’s for your future!). Thank you so much for creating this space, and much love, happiness and support!

Is Musk going to suspend himself? Sounds like Melania ‘s “Be Best” campaign while her husband is the epitome of “Be Worst.”

Geez, these newbies are so young, their frontal lobes aren’t fully connected to the rest of their brains. Plus, being connected to Musk makes them immediately suspect to crookedness.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover

Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

This is a coup.

Young engineers working at the direction of a South African billionaire with no official government connection have taken over the federal HR & GSA computer systems, gaining access to all Americans’ social security numbers and private data, and firing government employees.

The bad news is that she was all the ignorance necessary to make a mess of the department; the good news is that gravel pits are hard to come by in Washington D.C..

Trump To Nominate South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem As DHS Secretary: Reports

If confirmed, the governor would play a key role in implementing the president-elect's agenda on immigration, including his mass deportation

Puppy killer.

There are still way too many people who think this cretin was a great president. He was a fraud, an actor playing a president on the world stage; someone who had writers compose pretty lines of memorable prose for the electorate to remember him by: a “breath of fresh air,” a “leader to brighter days.” In reality, he willingly sold this country a bill of goods on the future, while leading the 1% - 10% earners to astronomical heights of prosperity and letting the working and lower classes flounder and sink. As with Nixon, he should have been punished for Iran Contra, with G.H.W. Bush for his part in pardoning participants in that, as W. Bush should have been punished for leading us falsely into Iraq, and as Trump should have been punished for a laundry list of crimes. Punishing Nixon and Reagan would have provided a lesson of the rule of law and possibly deterred the next presidents from crimes. By avoiding any penalty for wrongdoing, it opened the door for 1) doing more crimes later; and 2) made the notion of “equal justice under the law” a farce. Note that while Reagan was ripping off the Social Security account, later W. Bush stole $1.37B from it to fund his war in Iraq. The top elected officials stealing from Social Security are now better than bank robbers, for they’re stealing from the account because “that’s where the money is.”

Ronald Reagan raised so little tax revenues, and spent so much as President, he had to STEAL from the Social Security fund and left a big, fat Republican IOU.

Republicans stole, now claim the social security fund is low. Unbelievable.

I got one of these for Christmas, in 1965 or 1966. It could be that my mom figured it was easier to express my opinions in inoffensive signs and silently rather than have me verbally communicate what might have really been on my mind.
