    So why did she order spicy in the first place?

     

    If I order s[icy food I just have a small taste first. If it is too spicy for me then i will say so and leave the food. When comes the time to pay the bill, I would pay it in full and explain to the wait staff, that it was my problem for ordering it in the first place.

     

    That is the blessing or the curse, of being born with common sense.

    Right. Only idiots would take a big gob full if they had never tasted dragon's balls before. Maybe she was sexually excited? As Rita Hayworth sang, "There is a fire down below. Down below in my ........😉😄

    You asked: "I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling?"

    My response was: "As an American, I am much more embarrassed at our press and how many people are duped by it."

     

    How does this not answer your question? I have to be embarrassed about the one, to be more embarrassed about the other, yes? Just take is as a yes.

     

    You also asked "Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country?

    My response was: 

    "As a classical liberal, I am tired of the left lying and dividing our county, and I am tired of being called names for the last fifteen years by Obama, Clinton, Biden, the leftist press that supports them, and their supporters, so pardon me if my panties do not get in a ruffle when some of it gets turned back on them. Eff the left. 

     

    I do not want the leftist policies that a Harris-Walz Administration will push though, so I will vote against it. 

     

    I would vote for Bernie Sanders first. In fact, put every social security number over 35 years old in a lottery, and I would take my chances voting for that number before I would vote for Harris."

     

    Does that in any way give you the idea that I am happy with the sort of people I have to choose from to represent my country? Just take is as a no. 

     

    So yes, to your first question, and no to the second. 

    Thank you. Your feelings on those charged with running my country, the UK, are very similar. The difference is that our politicians don't throw childish insults around at those they do not agree with, although those they are supposed to represent do. And quite rightly deserved in some cases.

    But you haven't answered the question.

    Agree. But don't rely on getting a Reminder from Immigration to reapply. After years of doing it online. Not checking the expiry date as I usually do, I went seven days over. My fault and it cost me Bt2000.

    Are reminders still being sent?

  5. Angela Rayner, the deputy Prime minister, said in Parliament yesterday ' MPs can do whatever they like in their own time and with their own money."  But why is she more or less condoning political interference in another country's internal elections? It's certainly a good way to sour our relationship with the USA. As a Brit, I think the British government would certainly object if the boot was on the other foot.

    The point is, that you are encouraging corruption.

     

    The fine is the same if you are 2 days, 2 months or almost 1 year late in reporting.

     

    The law is there and has been for many years. You don't have to like it, and you can even do it online from home, and it is free as @ukrukes has already said.

    I previously used the single-dose Vislube, which was easy to dispense. However, I eventually discovered that Vislube caused me significant eye pain, a problem that seems to occur occasionally with others. Consequently, I switched to the more affordable carboxymethylcellulose or natural tear-type eye drops, which proved to be equally effective.

    VisLube was prescribed by the doctor treating me for macular degeneration.  The problem I have is getting the drops out of the super dooper? one drop, fairly hard dispenser. I have to squeeze it for ages. Coming up to ninety one my fingers are not as strong as they once were. I just want to know if there is an easy way of doing it. Could the dispenser be at fault or is this normal? Thanks for your reply.
