Thrilling Monday-on-Tuesday report, see man: Monday was markedly better than was Sunday, albeit almost anything would have been man. We dropped Mini-B. at skool, drop we man wee man man. We then returned to the casa to ready ourself for an important financial caucus, $i man. We dappered up in suit & tie, long time since same man. We T-B.-mobiled to the site, arrive in timely fashion we man. The various advisors and vice-presidents abjectly bowed and scraped in our presence, $ucce$$ful Bu$ine$$ Typhoon we man. After we bade them rise, they knelt at our feet, re$pect they man we man man. They implored us not to use part of our POTS* funds to completely retire the U.S. national debt, implore they man we man man. *buy yours today, si man! After lengthy consideration, we consented, perhaps another day man. They validated our parking and bade us adieu, ciao man. Before we left, we asked one of them to take fotos of us all dappered up, si man. We have posted those fotos on a meet-chicas site, si man. Maybe now we can finally replace some of the worthless rubias with better ones, set-goaling we man. The guy also promised to wrack his Rolodex to find us potential chicas, better than no hope at all man. We celebrated the caucus by lunching at a nearby Costco, ingest footlong hot dog** and Diet Pepsi we man. **high-fat/high-sodium, sigh man; bun high-carb, sigh man We gassed the intensely thirsty T-B.-mobile, such a gas man. We returned to the casa and siesta'd, zzz we man. Worthless maid contacted us to come on Tuesday, believe it when we see it man. We agreed and now have to declutter all that we decluttered last time when she stood us up, man. If she ghosts us or is more than half an hour late this time, to blazes with her, forget her man. The Roomba is more dependable, conclude we man. Din-din was 2 sliced-turkey Hungry Man din-dins***, ingest Two Guys and sigh we man. ***we gave Mini-B. our apple glop, sacrifice we for wee man man Football night was then participated in, Monday Night man. Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn**** were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. ****our diet was hosed long beforehand, sigh man Would have had Many bowls, but today's sodium hosed our stomach, out back end man. We are currently snacking on "Russell Stover sugar-free (made with Stevia extract) chocolate candy-coated peanuts," ingest we man. They are just like M&Ms, conclude we man. We still like the sugar-free York Peppermint Patties better, return to store for more of those soon we man. Aside from fruitful/fruitless awaiting of maid, no plans for Tuesday, no man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

It sounds too complex to determine what simple carbs are, si and mam ma'am. Complexification-carbing mam ma'am! Complexification-carbing, COMPLEXIFICATION-CARBING mam ma'am! Abdominal surgery is the unkindest gut of all, si and hee hee hee at our wonderful pun mam ma'am. P-Math error precised, si and see and mam ma'am!

Good memory-like-an-elephant Asia! Good, GOOD memory-like-an-elephant MEMORY-LIKE-AN-ELEPHANT Asia! You tell Steveklar -- and tell your Polish Commie-babe self -- to get back in this thread to make it re-official, oj tak!

Who ever heard of a self-respecting Central Chimpanzee doing this, huh huh huh Y ma'am? We wonder why bananas are sugarier (new word) than berries/peaches/plums, latter taste sugarier man. We have a microwave, air-fryer, and no energy to learn other high technology, si and sigh Y ma'am. We must look for these, si and gracias Y ma'am.

Yee-HAAAAA! [Note to T-B.'s self: Jokes worked again... jokes worked again...]

Elections Have Consequences: How Trump's Second Term Challenges the Political Status Quo [...] Responding to a CNN report that Trump is skipping FBI background checks for some of his cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard (Trump's pick to be Director of National Intelligence), the gimlet-eyed attorney Cleta Mitchell observed that "Obama didn't have FBI vet his nominees because the nominees were corrupt; Trump isn't having FBI vet his nominees because the FBI is corrupt." Bingo. Why would Trump nominate such controversial figures? [...] https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/17/elections-have-consequences-how-trumps-second-term-challenges-the-political-status-quo/

New Hampshire shelter faces enor-mouse problem after man surrenders nearly 1,000 rodents STRATHAM, N.H. (AP) — A group of mice is called a nest, but what do you call 1,000 of them in one animal shelter? "Crippling," said Lisa Dennison, executive director of the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is scrambling to care for an overwhelming influx of rapidly reproducing rodents. It all started Monday when a man arrived saying he wanted to give up 150 mice. But then he clarified: 150 containers of mice, not individual critters. He had [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/hampshire-shelter-faces-enor-mouse-205100617.html

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: We didn't leave the casa all day, no man. We were/are downcast that we can't eat anything, no ingest we man. Everything has either fat and sodium or carbs and sugar, sigh man. We accomplished nothing except conquering our one LL, unenthusiastically domestic we man. We didn't even dish the warsher, only one other similar Sunday in recent memory man. Lunch was a banana (high-sugar, sigh man), guiltily ingest we man. Din-din was Modified Tuna Glop (high-carb/high-sodium, sigh man), guiltily ingest we man.

In other news, Mini-B. is here and miu is noticeably excited, present wee man and excited miu man. No party with the rubias tonight, forget cavorting we man. And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, report and sigh we man.

In hopes of compelling more approvals and positive progress, as our jokes always do (that is, if correlation = causation), here is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== CAN'T COME TO WORK TODAY A guy phoned his boss and said, "Sorry, but I can't come to work today." The boss asked him, "Why? Are you sick?" The guy said, "It's my eyes." "Why? What's wrong with your eyes?" "I just can't see myself coming to work today."

Again, there's another side to the leftist howling. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RFK Jr will disrupt the US medical establishment [...] Left-leaning outlets, such as the Atlantic, Washington Post, PolitiFact, and Forbes — as well as the predominantly Left-leaning medical establishment — were quick to lambast the choice, using selective quotations and a narrow focus to smear Kennedy. But establishment mandarins who focus on his sometimes eccentric scientific claims, from vaccines to AIDS, overlook the single most important factor in his success: the anti-science, authoritarian policies of the Covid years. As a result, they miss what matters most in the Kennedy phenomenon: his broadly appealing, and thoroughly centrist, reform agenda. This knee-jerk reaction hides the dilemma that members of the medical establishment face: do they position themselves as defenders of an increasingly untenable status quo, or do they embrace the opportunities of RFK Jr.'s reform agenda, much of which aligns with values and concerns that they have been raising for years?

Here's a countering argument to the windbags on CNN and elsewhere. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gabbard Is a Dream Come True for Foreign Policy Realists [...] there are some egregious accusations that deserve to be scrutinized for the sake of propriety. Two of them include Gabbard's stances on Syria and Ukraine, the epitome of liberal hubris. The trotting out of Obama-era Democrats to denigrate Gabbard shows that they have not forgiven her for her cardinal sin, the heresy of opposing the prophet at the height of liberal internationalism. Gabbard opposed the toppling of Assad in Syria by force, going against Obama and the U.S. government's stated policy of "Assad must go." ]...] https://www.theamericanconservative.com/gabbard-is-a-dream-come-true-for-foreign-policy-realists/

Thrilling Saturday report, see man: We got going late and did not attend the ES, si and no man. We might try it on Sunday, unsure we man. Breakfast was a turkey-&-cheese sandwich, ingest we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

We might be able to split posts into a new (e.g.) "Post-Election Actions & Reactions" thread. It would take some time and effort.

Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the US Citizenship Case Progress subforum. It might be a mistake, or the officiant had a scheduling conflict regarding the time that they'd contemplated, or something objective. I wouldn't worry; just wait a little longer for clarification.

Ah -- this explains it, LS ma'am! We can now readily guess the hierarchy of the women of your house, LS ma'am. Hierarchy confirmed, si man!

Thrilling Friday non-GS/ES report, see man: Breakfast/lunch was a turkey-&-cheese sandwich, ingest we man. We didn't leave the casa till an hour before noon, sigh man.

We saw an excellent mattress that would have suited Uncle T-B., drastically in need thereof senior he man. However, arranging transport would have been impossible, no wherewithal man.

The total with tax was just under $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2), financially savvy we man. We were tired and quite hungry, Many (2+2+1) hours out man. One of our Top-Many favorite Chinese buffets was proximal, spy same we man. It was already quite busy just before Many (2+2) p.m., popular place man. Din-din was Many (2+1) plates heaped with beef & chicken, ingest we man. We got caught in Friday get-off-work traffic ALL the way back to the casa, we man.

We had envisioned Many (2+1) Saturday ESs toward and in FST, envision we man. However, we cannot risk the urge to buy a pie at FST restaurant, not any longer man.
