My Reactions to a New York Show Trial

DB @dgobucks226 (35615) 31 May

After following all the coverage of the recent Trump trial my initial reactions were as follows: travesty, corruption, disgrace, ludicrous, political persecution, election interference, gag orders, a broken system, a banana...

Bensen32 Well, I didn't follow it closely, mostly because I knew from the beginning that it was just a witch hunt. Smoke and Mirrors to try and stop Trump from getting back in office. It come down to this for me, were we better off with Trump in office or with Biden?...

An Absolute Shambles of a Movie

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (89883) • Arvada, Colorado 24 Mar

I am very forgiving when it comes to bad movies. I give the creator, director, actors, the benefit of the doubt and try to see the good in it. If it were not for Jake Gyllenhaal, the wildly popular dude from the 2005 Brokeback...

Bensen32 I do have to agree with you. Jake is about the only reason to keep watching, if you like him as an actor. Connor was a complete mess. In the first 5 minutes of him in the movie, I wanted to kill him. I'm not quite sure it was the over acting or was that the...

Brunch at Cracker Barrel

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 12 Mar

I am really glad Cracker Barrel got with the program and now offers wifi. At least this location does and it is fast. I do really like Cracker Barrel but haven't been in maybe a year or year and a half. Got breakfast, but lots of...

Bensen32 I have not been there in a long time. I remember first learning about them on a trip south and there were not any up near me, but they since have moved up north but still the closest one to me is about 25 miles from here so not like it is around the corner or...

Will you watch the Oscars tonight?

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 10 Mar

I usually do because I am a movie buff, but I watched the Golden Globes and I don't think the Oscars will be much different. Mostly I like to hear about movies I missed and might want to watch. I will see what else is on though..I...

Another day another mass shooting in America

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119633) • United States 10 Mar

So just another typical day. This was at a party where the shooter knew the victims. At least 6 people were shot and 2 were killed. Two victims were sisters. That family isn't having such...

Bensen32 Sounds like a typical day in Chicago to me. I wonder when they will crack down on these nut balls. Instead of blaming the gun and start blaming the people. I have owned guns for over 30 years and not one of them shot anyone.

What brand is your coffee pot?

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 11 Mar

Mine is Black and Decker. I like it. I have this now for quite awhile. I bought a cheapo to replace my last coffee pot that suddenly went on the blink, but it didn't last very long. This B and D I got on Amazon, and it was...

Bensen32 I don't drink coffee, so I don't own one but back when I had one it was also a Black and Decker. Seemed odd they make coffee makers, but it was cheap, and I think I gave it away.

There was a Republican fundraiser on Friday held by Johnson County Republicans. Ted Nugent was the keynote speaker so that tells you the level of seriousness and elevation at the event. Anyway there was a...

When a site doesn't work it's very frustrating

Diana @dya80dya (36657) 13 Feb

Today I woke up and I wanted to earn some money on a site. But it doesn't work. And this happens very often. There are some tasks there and I can't complete them. It is so annoying and I don't recommend it. I followed everything...

Bensen32 I have tried many of the survey sites and have had an issue with just about everyone I have tried. I will answer their 10-15 qualifying questions just to be told I don't qualify. Do that for a few surveys and next thing you know you spent an hour for no...

Look at it This Way

celticeagle @celticeagle (167025) • Boise, Idaho 13 Jan

So even for a person who has been brainwashed by Trump's idiocy, how can a normally intelligent person want a person like Trump in office? He has been convicted of raping a woman and of defamation of her character, he has been...

Bensen32 Unfortunately, you have misrepresented the facts. Trump was found liable for battery in a civil court. He was not convicted of rape. His company and he has been found guilty but has not been convicted of fraud in his business as of yet. The Trail for...

Do you like survival shows?

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 12 Jan

I am fascinated by shows like I Shouldn't be Alive, where people endure circumstances where they easily could have been killed. I watched one last night where a plane crashed into I believe it was the Sea of Cortez off the coast...

Wow, early payment from mylot again!

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 12 Jan

Thanks, mylot. I have the feeling not many people are qualifying for these any more at least monthly so I feel grateful. My pp can always use a boost. It takes a lot to get to the payment threshold these days though it seems. Did...

Bensen32 I did notice them but I'm sure it's not me again this month maybe next one. It's been forever since I got a payout. Then again haven't been around for the last month.

Down Goes the Christmas Tree

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121589) • Gainesville, Florida 10 Jan

It's not so terribly far into January that I felt guilty about my Christmas tree still being up inside my house, but I did figure it was finally time to take it down and get rid of it. After all, my girlfriend and daughter took...

Do you believe FOX News when they claim that Trump is not in cognitive decline, but simply crazy? I do not.

The Horse @TheHorse (218891) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Nov 23

We have all read about Donald Trump's recent gaffes. His father, Fred Trump Sr., suffered from dementia in his later years, and Donald seems to be succumbing to a similar fate. But some FOX news "reporters" are typing to claim...

Bensen32 Well, I'm not sure he would be any more or less crazy, senile, or just insane than Biden. In my opinion there should be an age limit on the president just like you have to be old enough to be president there should be a limit to how old you can be. Not to...

Have You Ever Received a Ticket or a Warning?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178701) • United States 14 Nov 23

I've been lucky...I've never been in an accident, received a ticket or even a warning. My husband, as you know, hasn't been as lucky. Don't forget. Non-moving violations count too. Jaywalking, parking in a handicap spot,...

Chalked Up a Pretty Productive Day

Jim Bauer @porwest (90915) • United States 13 Nov 23

Where in the World?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178701) • United States 13 Nov 23

If you had the resources to live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Would it be on a beach somewhere? In the mountains? In the desert? Or in a lush forest? Would you want to live in the city or on several acres in the...

Bensen32 I am torn on that one. On one hand, give me a place like the Keys so I can go scuba diving every day. On the other hand, I would like to live out in the forest away from everyone and everything and just camp every day.
