No need to apologize for self promotion. It's just good business to toot your own horn.
I get a kick out of Trump's negotiation technique. Somehow I think I could make a deal with him. Kayfabe is for sure a part of his show. We had to put on good demos in martial arts, so I get Trump :-D. His opponents are now trying on a new label, claiming that "Trump always chickens out". But people who listen to his prime directives, which have been consistent for a very long time, have figured out what he's going to do and are not panicked.
That TDS label really does fit a lot of people. If the Orange Man told them that breathing is good for them, they'd stop.
Great secondary cliff hanger. We want know what's good enough to draw you away from that house.
I’m not a huge fan of Trump, but he is the president. Perhaps the other party should have offered better choices.
Your “breathing is good” quip is funny. I once heard someone say something similar: “Let’s hope Trump never complains about stepping in dog poop. It would be a shame for his haters to have to walk around with it on their shoes all the time.”
Perhaps they should have! I was a loyal Democrat--activist, volunteer, and voter--until after the 2016 election, when they lost me, probably forever. Everything they keep doing cements my disaffection.
There have been numerous parody memes of the Trump aversion responses, which are hilarious.
We need to get down and think about what's best for our continuance, rather than accepting edicts from government or corporations as the last best choice.
For example, we should understand energy efficiency and conservation as intrinsic good practice, without bamboozled that the gas needed for all vegetation to grow is pollution. We should look at the whole picture of infrastructure plus energy production and usage, in order to solve the problem.
Ha, ha, sometimes I fear that in the effort to get people to see how great we are, we wind up coming off as unrelatable...
Trump might be the best deal maker we've ever had as president. I'm no great history buff, but I think you're right about who's really listening as opposed to just reacting.
TDS is real... there should be a brain-retraining program for that, lol.
Thanks for the compliment. I'll try not to disappoint! ;)
Maybe it would help more people to write down their reasons for thinking the way that they do. Just that might help cure TDS and many other forms of reflexive output.
We can look toTrump, self promoting at his rallies to see that it works when done transparently.
Your house is indeed beautiful; I’m sure the new owners are extremely grateful. Perhaps there will soon be happy children playing in the backyard. Hope you have moved to an even better place.
Thank you, Phil. I hope the new owners are extremely grateful and that you're right about their family plans, though I have no idea whether or not that's in the works for them. :) I quite like the idea of children's voices in that garden...
Congratulations, Lisa, that sounds like a really wonderful piece of writing. Am looking forward to reading more unexpected, moving and interesting stories from you.

Ya, the other party went off the rails.

Karen, thank you so much--for the congrats, the compliments, and, of course, for your past help here on Substack. Have a great weekend!
