Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year’s in the town you’re planning on moving to first.

You didn’t challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There’s a difference.

Cheers.

it could not have happened and would not have happened, for essentially economic reasons.

The interesting alternative histories are ones that turn on a single fortuitous event.

You said it couldn’t happen, then said that there are ways it could have happened.

Also, if you don’t want to be part of the discussion, you are free to stay out. other people are participating and enjoying themselves.

You are contradicting yourself.

Hitler left orders not to be awakened so he slept in on D-Day. Rommel had left his post. Think that wouldn’t have changed things?

Stalin had dozens of warnings that Hitler planned to invade. What if he’d taken even one seriously?

What if Hitler had let the Army get the glory at Dunkirk and steamrolled the troops on the beach?

I can think of dozens of times the course of the War changed by the actions of one person.

I take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are ignorant of their own cultural heritage.

Best wishes.

It’s one of those things that sound reasonable until you actually spend a minute thinking about the details.

Minting money. Starting a post office. Borders. People who work out of state.

I think that first wife Ivana dressed him until he dumped her.

It doesn’t matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.

Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

“Snake Pliskin? I thought he was dead.”

In the script, the author says that the fight between Inigo and Wesley is the second greatest fight in the history of the movies. The final fight is supposed to be the best ever.

From ‘DC Cab.’

The cabbies are looking for Bruce Lee. Fianlly one spots a drive-in movie showing a movie and the cabbie reports, “I see that Kung-fu mother fucker.”

In the TV version it’s “I see that Kung-fu Master Fighter.”

Get this book. “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests that gauge what skills you already have, and then lists the jobs that use those skills. For example, a hair dresser and a nurse both need good social skills and good dexterity; two totally different jobs with a similar skillset.

I spent my whole life thinking I’d never find a job I actually liked, then I got the book and it led me to a career I enjoyed and got a decent salary.

Trump has based his entire personality on a third rate Mafia thug. He’s the guy who thought Fredo should have led the Family. Of course he’d pretend to be a peacemaker and then do a sneak attack.

Remember the time Trump walked onto Air Force 1 with toilet paper stuck to his shoe?

The people who take orders directly from him despise him. The Army has plenty of crack units that could put on a great display; the folks in charge put on the weakest show they could.
