  • We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

    Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

    She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

    We were both miserable for about 36 hours.













  • I envy you having a farm! My wife’s a Soldier we move a lot currently I’m sitting amongst a lot of cornfields. While I’m surprised at how much I like it here, I really miss Kentucky which is where we moved from.

    The worshipping of the con man really bugs me. I came out of the religious right, and while I believe that it is possible for someone to support Trump for completely valid reasons, I didn’t believe you can be a Christian and do so. If you are a Christian and support him, you are a shitty Christian. Don’t be surprised if whenyou get to the Pearly Gates you hear “get away from me for I never new you!”


  • Thanks for this post. I appreciate the fact that you’re engaging in good faith.

    I tell people I’m an optimistic pessimist. Absolutely convinced the world is going to hell, but that we’ll have a helluva good time along the way.

    I think our also helps that I’m old. My son’s are likely older than most Lemmy users. I’m older than Pong, so I’ve watched the world change a lot in my six decades. A lot of people have predicted a lot of doom in those years, and the doomsayers have pretty much always been wrong.

    Our nation is far from perfect, but we have been changing in a positive direction my entire life. I didn’t expect that to change because an Orange Idiot may be in the Oval Office again.
