But but but what about M. Obabma? I'm being sarcastic for those unsure about my motives.

Everywhere they go is a giant commercial for the place nowadays, but it may be that Dubai is one of those places that is more blatant about it because they don't pretend that it's anything but one giant commercial wrapped in the guise of a race. It's one of those elitist places that most people could not afford to go to & enjoy as everything costs money & there is very little if any natural beauty to enjoy if you don't have plenty of cash to splash.

After watching the show, I don't really care about the meeting but that Steve Bannon is one seriously dangerous guy to both the country & anyone who gets in the way of his beliefs. As for the other guests, Josh Rogin embodies everything that is wrong the Dems at the moment, he doesn't listen to anything but the voice in his head & piers Morgan is...........................................just his usual self, a pain in everyone's ass, but you know what you're getting with him.

I read some news article that traced when he first ever mentioned tariffs & how good they were & how much he loved them to sometime back in the mid 80s in an interview he did back then. Not sure how true that is but it wouldn't surprise me.

I guess I'm delusional as well because I just can't see him just walking away after 4 years or the RNC shoving him aside, they both like the power a little too much for that. The only way he willingly walks away IMO is in a golden box.

Sadly, that is not how these things (opioids) work. Unless you have been in severe dilapidating pain & had the need to use these things it is very hard to understand how they can get a hold of someone if you're not very careful, you just want the pain to stop even if it is only for an hour. Even 5 years ago some doctors were giving them out like they were candy & they can be very powerful.

That's the whole point, very few kids to get in the way.

3/5 for me this week, woohoo.

It's the Tulsi Gabbard look & is very popular among older Republican women who can't pull off the blond faux news look for whatever reason. Make of that what you will.

There are a lot of them in major California cities so I would guess they're everywhere. I presumed these were based on some of the Los Angeles "churches" that cater to thousands as well as what we know of Scientology & the videos etc. that they sell for inflated prices to their members. Some people get tired of it but for the most part the majority are in so deep they can't imagine anything else. Those with less money are always promised that the more they give the more they will receive back "in the long run". It's mostly a legal Ponzi scheme that hides behind the non-tax paying religion badge.

So I was listening to Howard Stern yesterday & he was talking about the White Lotus finale and happened to mention that even though everyone was supposedly talking about it the viewing figures were only around 1 million viewers per episode, which backs up your thoughts on the subject.

I'm thinking he just doesn't know what he would do & switches between the 2 options rather than it being a scripted continuity thing. Having been in the same situation there were times that I thought I would go home to the U.K. if I ended up single & times that I thought I would stay and switched between the 2 depending on what sort of day I was having. Moving countries is a HUGE adjustment even for someone from the U.K. where a lot is similar, never mind Iran where everything is like another planet. I'm sure he changes his mind every hour, never mind every week. After my divorce I stayed & met someone else but even now over 20 years later I still wonder what I would do if it happened again. Maybe my script writer has a continuity problem, I know my brain does sometimes. Unless you've been in that exact situation it's very hard to understand how your mind would work, never mind someone else's and I for one feel for the guy or any of them as I'm sure they all struggle with home sickness & fear of the unknown. I can't imagine what I would have done had I been in Sarper's situation because I sure as hell couldn't live like that.

I know that Ari gets a lot of stick & is a miserable cow but Bini must be unbearable to live with, he's a performer & is always on, like he has no off switch. Maybe he has ADD or maybe he just likes the attention, but he never sits still & every entry has to be a little twirl or a jumping spin over the back of the chair before he plants himself, that must be fucking exhausting to live with. She should have stuck with the more laid-back French guy, but he probably wasn't exciting enough for her which is why she went for the exact opposite type this time, then she got herself knocked up.

I haven't watched yet but as far as I remember Sumit has had more than a couple of jobs & has always wanted to work BUT Jenny kept making him quit so that she wouldn't have to manage on her own or be alone while he was at work.

It says accused, not that he was aware or even did any such thing. How about holding off for a little on the guilty by association until proven innocent rhetoric. He may well be both but it's a little early to start hanging him yet, IMO.

People seem to love a grifter & being grifted, maybe he can be the next president.

I would have to agree with you, we've almost given up watching now & we've been around since episode 1 of the original.

Just the 2/5 for ne this week.

The toilet paper we had in school was worse than using nothing & would just smear crap everywhere, even superglue wouldn't make it stick.

My 2 cents for what it's worth about the flights & travel agents now v then is that since Covid there have not been the number of flights to choose from that there were in the old days, and they (tv producers) need to have already bought & paid for the seats or they run the risk of there not actually being seats available until the next day. Whereas in the old days (pre-2020) there were a host of flights leaving to choose from & if one flight was full there would be others to get a ticket for. I only suggest this as I've been looking at international flights & whereas in 2019 there were 7 or 8 flights a day at various times to my destination from just 1 airport, there are now only 2 or at most 3 different flights from the same airport on any given day. As I say, just a thought.

Even if they can get the drugs a lot of places seem to be having an issue using them correctly or in the correct dosages to do what they're supposed to do.

Please stop stalking me.

She has feelings for her friend but hasn't told her yet, or maybe doesn't even realize it herself because nobody acts like that if they're not.

Unless you're the Conners.

Anything can be a career & most of us have to start at the bottom.
