In Canada we got rid of our penny in 2012
and we changed our dollar bill to a coin in 1987.
Our two dollar bill was changed to a two dollar coin in 1996.
WOW! I didn't see that coming. You know, he hasn't been visible meaning participated for quite some time. As a rule, he normally acknowledges gifts but strangely, he didn't do so this past Christmas/New Year. Perhaps he said "goodbye" to his SYD bestie, Mr. Yumm, aka 2nice?
My dad had it and he's happy about it too. As a matter of fact I haven't heard any negative comments about it.
It's free and I probably won't have to wear glasses anymore… what more could I asked for? I was offered a choice of three lenses, The one that is paid for by the healthcare system, a better one and the best one. I chose the free one because it will be a hell of a lot better than it is now.
be careful, a friend had a knee replacement, at the VA hospital, had a choice of a free knee or a better 1 for $, he ask what is the difference, the free knee was rated to last 10 years, the 1 that cost $ was rated for a lifetime, he was like ,"WHY would i want to go thru all this again in 10 year? give me the $ 1.
The political posts have gotten to be equivalent to the rat my dick posts. I’m surprised they haven’t been moved to the dumpster. This forum really sucks now when it used to be one of the best aspects of this site. Don’t bother to reply to me, I don’t care to engage.
So let’s take a moment to look back at what made this forum thread great
For me it was the fun of making fun of lixsipsucket the midget and two saggy tits one and two and the twenty five other personalities she portrayed lix and the midget are gone now and cat is being mellow i try to get her wound up but politics is all she answers to so my question is how can we make this forum thread great again
I think even before that we had fun and were able to joke and be friends. Sometimes people fight with one another but were able to work past issues or differences. Now those differences have gotten to be too much to the point it’s caused disharmony; and that drives people away.
Thank you, starsky for reaching out to admin regarding your idea for a new gift, a single rose. The rose is absolutely beautiful! And thank you to admin for implementing starsky's idea!
I feel honored by your post! Were you aware that this is just your second post in the Forum? Your first post was made in March, 2017, almost 8 years ago.
respect for authority, something not being taught any more these days it seems.
what part of that is so hard to understand?
Why have authoritive figures if they are not respected?
Sure, that's the only thing happening in North Korea; respect for authority
And surely that's what both men were referring to.
It's a pathetic excuse for throwing away your democracy and freedom.
Respect is earned not enforced. I vote for elected representatives.
I respect them, when they respect my rights and represent me.
I can also respect politicians who represent the opinions of other people, as long
as they do their job of representing them and respect the rights of all my countrymen.
Trump doesn't respect ANYONE. It's all about him and you are just patsies.
Woodstock Willy predicts an early spring but
Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter 🥶
So it’s a tie and I’m retired and don’t give a crap 💩 anymore
Thank you dgraff! I wasn't aware of any other rodent other than Punxsutawney Phil being our official winter weather prognosticator. Apparently these two vermin had conflicting forecasts. Woodstock Willie predicted an early spring and Punxsutawney Phil thinks we will have a longer winter. Whatever! Watch the 6pm weather forecast on your local TV station. I don't care where you live, the darn meteorologists are only SOMETIMES right when they do their 6pm nightly weather report!
Freeloaders? From someone getting Social Security and Medicare?
You just don't think things through, do you? You think illegals sit at home and get a fat check every month? THEY HAVE TO WORK and they have to do so in crappy jobs.
For your information I worked all my life for that social security and Medicare and I did it with honors I didn’t miss a day in 40 years nor did I take a vacation so I would say I earned the right to retire thank you
Exactly, I have all but 3 of my check stubs from work and every damn 1 of them shows a amount that was removed from my pay to go towards social security. It also shows the amount taken out to contribute towards my employer provided retirement I am FINALLY able to enjoy after being on disablity only for 16 years.
Well, housewives who never worked a paying job can collect the equivalent 50% of their partners Social Security amount.
Illegals can't collect at all. I don't believe illegals are entitled to all the benefits that legal citizens are entitled to, but, no matter how they arrived into our country, they are entitled to humanitarian efforts.
Cody, don't you think that after being married to a legal for 10 yrs they SHOULD be entitled to a piece of the action? After all, while your father contributed every month/year, didn't it affect his partner also? Didn't she have less money to buy because he made less money? And, she shared a life with your dad. Don't you think she's entitled to get his Social Security after his death?
That’s were you are wrong forget about that humanitarian bull shit we have people in this country from this country that need help first like perhaps our wounded soldiers that were kicked out in to the streets so they could house illegal immigrants
My mom was making 128 thousand a year, between my fathers s.s and his pension after he passed away, my father set it up that way where she would receive 100% of his pension and his s.s for the rest of her life. And yes, someone that is married ten years minimum should get a portion of the s.s. Where I work, 70% of my pension can go to my spouse for the rest of her life if I set it up that way. The spouse is also allowed to take the higher of the two s.s. After there other passes away.
n 2023, there were approximately 3,980 homeless women veterans in the United States. This is a nearly 24% increase from 2020, when there were 3,126 homeless women veterans
32,882
Through targeted funding and interventions that utilize evidence-based practices, homelessness among veterans dropped to the lowest number on record. There was a nearly 8% decrease – from 35,574 in 2023 to 32,882 in 2024 – in the number of veterans experiencing homelessness.Dec 27, 2024
Call that maga bullshit if you want to, but it is pathetic either way that there is a single homeless veteran much less 33,000
You equate the number of homeless people, veteran or not, as a failure of government. Most homeless people are there because of wanting to live a lifestyle that leads to it. Mental health plays a big part of it. Let me throw these numbers out. The Vietnam war lasted 11 years. The Afghanistan war lasted 20 yrs. Homeless veterans did not start appearing on January 20, 2021. Please don't politicize the plight of the homeless, veteran or otherwise as a Democrat or Republican failure. If anything, the blame falls squarely on this plastic society that cares for only five minutes as you see them begging on a corner or outside McDonald's.
I will agree with some of what you said becuase they chose drugs or **** , but that is not all of the issue.A lady i ran into was a veteran that her husband sold the house while she was overseas and was no where to be found. when she came home,it wasn't home for her anymore. so she did finally find her car parked in a storage lot and was living out of it. No fault of her own, just a sorry ass husband.
There are horror stories everywhere but they are not the norm. One thing that is becoming more common is people getting put out of their home for not being able to pay mortgage or rent.
It's not that i have a issue with the humanitarian actions, it is as you said, there are plenty of AMERICANS that deserve help before those that can swim.
It gets them out of our system and takes a large financial burden off our government
Listen it’s simple if they want to be here that bad they will do it legally
The ones that sneak in are just looking for a free ride they are mainly all the criminals from other countries looking for a place to hide
If they were immigrants then, according to you, they were criminals --------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes

"The ones that sneak in are just looking for a free ride they are mainly all the criminals from other countries looking for a place to hide"
Germans fleeing the Nazis during the 30's came here just for that. CRIMINALS like you said.
I can trace my family on both sides as coming thru Ellis island and some being native to America , so you would be wrong about that assumption in regards to me. my folks came in the right way and tried their damnest to make America better, or at least not pull it down.
Thankfully none related to hitler. you know his family got together and made a pact to not reproduce and to let the family blood line end to prevent more like him ?
For us, the local health departments won't have lines out the door of illegals using a health care system meant for poor Americans. you may want to read about how many warrents for murder are actually for aliens, so many things it will help.
What about the folks living in apartments that the gangs took over with guns? Now they can live a little more peaceful.
Cat do you think it is ok for a gang of illegals to come in and take over apartment complexes here in the US?
Yes, Phart, I would liketo know how many illegals have a warrant for murder. I would like to know the same for non illegals. You brought it up now prove it with numbers.
Phart, whatever illegals do to find living quarters is ok by me as long as it's peaceful. Tell us why the cops don't overrun those locations you are talking about. Are the cops chicken? Or are the gangs protecting their people from local thugs that hate immigrants?
The gangs are misstreating people of their own race.
And the cops, scared to death of them. they will blame it on lack of man power or some other reason, but basically they are just friggen scared of the gangs.
Here your peaceful vegetable pickers are caught beating other immigrants.
