  1. I think that is a good idea.
  2. You brought that up, as a fact to establish credibility on that post. The fact that you will not share it, tells me, that you tend to run off at the mouth without thinking.* *Edited out the word "since" and two commas because it was such clumsy writing. I believe the original meaning is intact though.
  3. Yet, with so much temptation, I have never said that of your world.
  4. Kudos, I was wondering how many people would see that!
  5. Not only that but, a good art denier!
  6. You obviously know very little about this kind of art and how much talent it takes. I suspect a political bias here.
  7. Zaria Forman’s pristine, photorealist paintings of the ocean and remote, icy landscapes are painted by hand—quite literally using her fingertips to render marks in paint and chalk, rather than brushes. Traveling to far-flung corners of the globe affected by climate change, in order to source inspiration for her large-scale compositions, Forman takes photographs and creates sketches, working from these and her memory in the studio after she returns to the US. Past expeditions have included one to Greenland in which Forman retraced the 1869 journey of the American painter William Bradford. “In my work I explore moments of transition, turbulence and tranquility in the landscape and their impact on the viewer,” she has said. A beautiful, passionate woman doing beautiful passionate work!
  8. What does pretty much been there mean?
  9. So what! Try to focus.
  10. I will blame elected officials for not doing their job, anytime I want.
  11. I have plenty of hand sanitizer. Four out of seven of my immediate family members are in the medical field including RNs and an intern who will be a fully authorized physician in about one year.
  12. In the spring of 2018, the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated.
  13. How much unpreparedness up to this point do you think is Trump's fault?
  14. Despite that information, I still stand behind my Snoopy!
  15. I like Dr. Faucci. He stands up to trump and even contradicts him and trump says nothing. I don't know where Dr. Faucci gets so much credibility. But, he seems like a guy who just wants to get it right.
  16. Everybody gets it, deep breath time.
  17. I take exception with, using a natural process, to make disease numbers more acceptable. I would expect a political statement from a politician but, I felt that was more so than normal.
  18. Am I missing something? This is Earl Grey's thread, is it not?
  19. May I now, thank you for your frontline service, please stay well!
  20. They are tough people. But, that 100,000,000 is a BS strawman argument, that is completely worthless.
