Everyone voted for the lesser of two evils. The choices the last election were horrible. I hope we have a better choice next election.

I still think when you are born they should chriofreeze your nuts. Only once you reach adulthood and verified that you are a contributing member of society do they give them back to you so you can procreate.

It is evidence of systemic failure that we've been voting for the lesser of 2 evils for an awfully long time now...

I have no doubt if the Republicans really had a better platform, they'd have unveiled it, but short of cutting coverage (again) for people with pre-existing conditions, you're not going to cut the cost of health care, and you're not going to stop the costs from rising, unless you make some pretty aggressive moves elsewhere in the sector. Right now a massive portion of the cost of healthcare goes into administration and advertising (up to 25% and 15%, respectively). Eliminating that is very tricky to do. Chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease have also increased - responsible for as much as 85% of health care costs for spending that actually goes towards providing care.

Sickest 5% of the population are 50% of the total health care cost. Blows my mind.
I have an idea about why diabetes and heart disease have increased, Americans eat like they live on a farm, but don't do farm level work. I travel a little bit (not near as much as onzedge) but what I've observed is that the average American is carting around 50 -75 pounds (or more) than what is healthy. We have gotten out of the habit of fixing our own meals from scratch because we work 10-12 hours a day to keep up with the Jones'. Health care is a service derived from someone's labor. You don't have a right to the fruits of my labor... :twocents:

Bush Sr was our last qualified president. Since then we’ve had basically career politicians and Trump, who’s only claim is at least it isn’t Hillary.

Well... maybe HW was qualified. I quit voting for a Presidential candidate in the election featuring Clinton, Perot & Bush Sr. Change doesn't come from the top, it starts in the communities we live in. :tup:

My old company hired Perot's company to write new software for us. Around a milliion dollars later, we hired a Korean company to write our software.

Their society is slowly falling apart. The influx of Muslims is draining their health care and a number of other things. Pretty soon the Muslims will out number the native population.

The roads are really getting bad now. Had a couple of trucking companies call and said that they won't be able to deliver today.

We was only to get about 2". Looked out the door and there is over 6". :rofl2: I'm going to have fun going home. Time to play. :driving: :tup:

You're thinking of Sweden. Norway has pretty closed borders. Almost impossible to become a resident there, much less a citizen. My brother speaks Norwegian fluently, married a Norwegian woman (a doctor), goes to school there for his masters in Psychology - and still failed his first test allowing him to become a resident.

It's some of the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen, period. The people are also incredible. It's almost a totally fit populace, at least in the areas I visited (Bergen and Norheimsund).

This is on-point. One of my wife's uncles constantly rants about healthcare costs. He's overweight, has diabetes, and has had 3 heart surgeries. It's tempting to tell him to shut up, people like him are the reason the costs are high.

Should I go with Forgestar F14's or TSW Nurburgring in gunmetal?

This was a pic I snapped in Norheimsund at around 12:30 am. This was about as dark as it got in early June - a little dusky. Pretty cool.

In early January, I took the Z to Arizona to see my brother. On our way back to California, we ran into a storm at 9pm about 150 miles from home. At first I thought it was windy, started to slow down and almost spun out. Luckily I like to keep my left and right clear but there was a 18wheeler about a second behind me. Almost shat my pants trying to stay on the road and hoping that truck didnt run into me. My gf said that truck almost did. I drove below 45mph from that point on, and now Im back in the market for new shoes for the Z

I remember my mom telling me in the early 70s that you Black never really suffered from heart disease, cancer or diabetes and such because we work in the fields and eat food grown in our gardens and so forth. She said now we are starting to see the same kind of health problems as White people because more Blacks live in the City and have White people jobs!

That goodness for welfare and other entitlement programs that keep the working poor and others down. Marginalization is no longer a racist affair!

It's our society that we have created in this country. Fast foods, processed foods. We hardly anymore eat fresh foods. Why grow it when you can go the the store to get it.

This spring. I'm putting in a couple of raised garden beds in the back yard. 4'x8', 2 of them to start. Grow some of my own veggies like I did back in the 80's. My dad always had a garden and canned his stuff. I'm going to start doing that too.

Nothing beats the quality of self grown produce! What are you planning on planting?

Come home from work and had to get the snow blower out. :eek: First time I used this year. Had about 6" of Al Gore sitting on the ground. :icon14: It's going to be 46F tomorrow. :icon14:

I like growing my own veggies. I just don't have the time anymore. Wifey won't help. Keeping the weeds out is an undertaking. I haven't planted any mustard greens the last 2 winters either. Work just wants more and more.

Carrots, onions, lettuce, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, herbs. That's what I want. Don't know about the wifey.

F14's in gloss gunmetal

19x9.5 +20 255/35/19
19x11 +15 305/30/19


I stayed with the Potenza PP S-04's because I got 30k+ miles on them and they were good for my (lack of) aggressive driving

I know what you mean on time. I figure I got some time now. I'm doing the raised bed. The beds are going to be about 10" high. Using wood to form the beds. It will be easier to keep the rabbits out too.

mmm.. cherry tomatoes, I could snack on those things all day. Onions are hard to kill. We had some in our back yard, and they kept growing every season without even trying to replant them. Sounds like a good variety you have in mind!

On the front. You can go up to a 285/35-19. On the rear a 325/30-19 will go. Then you have big meats. :tup:

What I ordered was meaty compared to what I have now - 245/45 rear, 225/50 front on 18x9/8..lol Going that wide wouldnt cause rubbing or mess with the camber? Remember, I DD my Z.

Rusty 02-01-2019 07:49 PM
Come home, did the snow blower thing. Made dinner, spaghetti, and home made sauce that wifey made. Clean up the kitchen. Get into the lazyboy with my laptop. Started watching a couple of videos. Next thing you know. I got Jake breathing in my face to wake me up because he needed to go outside. I went out like a light. Nap wasn't long enough. :icon14:
