If the establishment is so enthusiastic about Harris being president, and Biden is too old and worn out to run again, why doesn't Biden stand down and let the nation see how good a Harris presidency would be? She could take the reins for a few months before the election, it wouldn't affect her...

Haha. My wife does a few things that annoy me but I generally don't talk about them outside the house. I'd rather say positive things about her, than get into a negative mindset about her. She's a really good cook.

I've never heard of a neti pot. I might have used one not knowing what it was, but I suspect not.

It isn't particularly useful to say nothing more than "you're wrong" without explaining why, although sometimes a post tries to make a point but the reasoning is flawed such that it doesn't actually demonstrate the point it claims to demonstrate. In a case like that it can be difficult, and...

Saying your post is incorrect isn't a personal attack even if it doesn't say where and why it's incorrect. It's not particularly useful to say "you're wrong" without at least some words about why but it's not a personal attack - it addresses the post rather than the poster.

A print of this.

Anything tasty that my wife can feed me in small pieces that aren't messy. It's good to be able to keep driving until it's time to refuel.

Something that addresses the post isn't a personal attack. The statement "Truth Seeker is stupid because..." is a personal attack. The statement "your post fails to address...." is not a personal attack even if it doesn't provide as much information on the alleged shortcomings of your post as...

Personal attacks? If you want to regard an attack on your post as an attack on your person that's on you. To say "you seem to be saying that..." isn't anything like the same as saying something negative about you as a person. Saying you've done all the right things, with the associated...

I'd consider entering the laziness competition but I'd want to come fourth. That way I get the status of ranking high, but without having to actually climb up onto the podium to collect a medal.

The eternal problem - buy too little food and your guests leave hungry, buy too much and you're stuck eating it for a week after the event. Do you have a feel for whether the people coming tend to be hearty eaters? If so bump it up a bit. Half a pound of lunch meat per person, plus whatever...

Sure, among many other serious issues.

That would depend on how serious doctrinal differences are.

We often buy extra turkey and freeze it. Not sure how well ham or salami would freeze. It's hard to know what to suggest without knowing how heartily your guests eat. If one person puts 3 slices on a roll and eats one roll that's a much smaller impact than if 8 people put 3 slices on a roll...

Not something I use. I am in a Faceache group for alerts in my county, although most of what goes on in there is more the "slow-mo train wreck" kind of stuff. It's remarkable how many people will post something like "i lost my wallet near (store) if anyone sees it please let me know", when...

Nope. No interest at all.

I remember during the Obama/McCain campaigns it was interesting to see that the variations of "I don't want no (expletive) (racial slur) in the White House" were decried as racist and yet variations of "it's about time we had a black president" were not. I can't see how either of them are...

Some mode of transport, to leave the camp site and go back home :) If I need to choose four other things, four beers to drink when you get back home.

It's all about the guns, never mind anything else. Because we all know the criminals will turn in their guns at the same time as the law-abiding, right?

I needed to get a prescription at a time I didn't have any insurance. The cost was going to be just shy of $80 and when I said I didn't have insurance and I'd just pay cash the assistant visibly grimaced, then went to her terminal and tapped out something very briefly, then came back and the...
