Gag me with a spoon !!! ????????????????

I received a post on Instagram and Facebook today from Wagner Group. That said if Putin has indeed killed their Boss then Wagner are coming for the neo-Czar pronto-presto.

Yeah its amazing aint' it that a dementia riddled old coot could have produced in 2 years what the entire economic world views as nothing less than a miraculous recovery US economy post Covid as opposed to the catastrophic economic and political mess Trump left behind with Trump increasing the entire 200 years of compiling national debt by a whopping 25% in 4 years.

Thanks miles ... yes, hurt people often hurt others. I am sad to hear of someone being stabbed. I also confess to being glad the child stood up for himself, albeit lament on how he nearly killed someone. I'd add that while socialised, obvious violence there are subtler forms of bullying that are harder to recognise from the obvious forms e.g. hitting, slapping, poking, pushing, standing over, punching, eliciting others to physically hurt a person, damaging others property, the overt and covert threat of harm if someone making doesn't avert the eyes or step aside to make way, mocking, degrading, gossiping and lying about someone in a systematic continuous pattern are the more subtle forms as far as society is concerned anyway. All these promote withdrawal e.g. physically, emotionally and verbally, and as the pain of being bullied deepens then isolation/disconnection from self becomes dominant. Sadly self-harm, and other forms of coping/maladaption are common in victims. Self-harm can take years to emerge often showing itself in heavy chemical use, inability to form and maintain deep nurturing relationships. Such chemical misuse is to dampen-down the pain that results from the powerlessness, humiliation, and terror felt during the bullying, and the rage that often arrives later. Conversely some bullied people adapt to become violent themselves e.g Mike Tyson is a perfect example. He was bullied for his way of speaking, and, abandoned as a child. What always accompanies 'successful' bullying is isolation of the victim. This is where others who see bullying come in to break this isolation and to support the bullied. As far as the home environment supporting any predisposition to being bullied I would say from my work it absolutely does. In the home landscape we often see dynamics where avenues to speak up or to be heard for some reason/s are absent or extremely tricky to negotiate e.g. the parents are overwhelmed with life's issues e.g. sickness, poverty, lack of their developmental stages. Patriarchal rules and mockery for showing any vulnerability, man-up and boys don't cry or complain or ask for help are a few common ones that don't help males who are less Alpha (who feel and are more soulful). For girls its often about physical appearance, being studious, and 'deep' in thought and reflection and singled out as being 'weird'. A strong statistical connection to bullying in the wider world comes for kids who have been sexually abused by someone. Perhaps the parents are in conflict with each other, perhaps there is addiction in the family system and this takes up all the space and energy to love functionally, and causes resentment and dumping of this on any convenient weaker member. Often we see social and familial 'rules' supported by frameworks of rigidity in thought and action that provides a fertile ground for future victims of bullies. Religiousity is one form of moral and behavioural rigidity that can condone use of bullying, actually admired and central to its tenets. It may not be as overt as e.g. hitting, or loudly chastising, obviously intimidating one or more in the family. Witnessing one of their family members whom one loves being hurt can be carried by another as themself being bullied. This 'schooling' of others in abuse often takes the form of psychological abuse ... a subtler use of power and control of others. Women do this too. I would encourage all A.N. readers to take courage and when seeing any form of harm to others to intervene. If seeing children harmed or showing signs of abuse to speak up to authorities or directly yourself. If you've been bullied yourself I encourage you to not blame yourself (turn it inwards) and deny it by pushing it down but to talk with a compassionate 'good listener'. If you are still frightened of being hurt and find people intimidating then get some counselling, maybe go talk to a good self-defence teacher, take a risk and sit and share some of your fears and timidity and your hope of becoming less afraid and ask for his help and learn how to protect yourself. Get some of the fear and rage out of your bodies in a gym with coaches to control the learning in self defence.

I have been using a superb, excellent English speaking Dr in BKK for over a decade. She has a clinic that deals with falang's and is a superb dentist both diagnostically and results. Her work is second to none. Dr Lily. I could not recommend her more highly. ???? Soon to attend for the first stage of 2 more implants myself ???? https://bangkokdentalspa.com/

Now now Tug stop stating the truth to cultist, white-supremacist, racists you know how it sends them into a tailspin ! ... If you believe in Trump then this is exactly who you are. Lets us not ruin their delusional paranoid day Tug by letting facts and truth get in the way of obsessive, entranced, delusional thinking and beliefs lol ????

This numpty needs someone to tune him that if he sells to a 'connected' person he will be getting fitted for some cement shoes or fed to the pigs right quick once the mark finds out they've been scammed.

He'll be a complete coward ???? when her steps into the Georgia Police station this week. Sullen silently raging, scowling yes, weasel-like. He'll (just like he was when he was confronted with Jack Smith in the court in Washington), be a total coward, silent, eye avoiding wimp.

A monumental farce.

What a shame it didn't return, flying at 10's of thousands of miles per hour straight into Putin lair.

I thought it was a really good game. I had a gut feeling Spain would make the final (should have bought a lottery ticket lol????) in the quarters and beat anyone. Typical Spanish football; Creative, fast, skillful. Viva Espana!

I am sorry to hear of your situation. If you have the bucks you can find and arrange aged and palliative care 24/7. Here in LOS, and if you should chose to return to your home country or somewhere where you feel care is better for you you can find such intensive care. I understand the fears of being in some sort of facility and not at home with those who love you. Private nurses etc ca be arranged here too at a cost. A good quality private hospital can advise and refer to specialist care agencies. Dearest Sheryl, here, might know of some contacts? If you have a free-floating imagined fear of one day being diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimers or have been diagnosed with either of these and are in the early stages then I would encourage you to make arrangements and solid ones NOW to make your transfer to more intense, assisted, future care clear, and secure. If you do develop either to advanced levels then you (anyone) needs to know and factor in living in a house or facility that securely confines you in way that prevents you wandering off, as part of that advanced level care. For your wife to be able to cope with a male in the advanced stages 24/7 of these would be very difficult indeed for her. it is, even for younger and stronger relatives too. Even professional carers can find physically managing a patient, keeping them safe and calm, and watching such deterioration difficult. I would say to you, while you can, you need to bring this reality to your wife and relieve her of any notion of majority or sole-caring of you as its simply most likely she will fail at this later on. I would advise you to BOTH consult with a palliative care, dementia specialist to be educated (even if you have already done so as it appears to me from what you have written you need further support and information) as to what to expect as time passes and the disease and condition of either one starts to become more dominant. As a psychotherapist who has had palliative and hospice experience I encourage you to seek further professional medical palliative specialist advice. Armed with timelines of your diagnosis and prognosis, periodic assessments of your deterioration, and stages of your conditions you can plan more effectively. If you have had experience with others in the family (this is not always helpful) as a reference for future care of others as many simply don't cope with nor know how to stay aware of and managing the stages of these morbidities and their internal reactions to this slow loss of a loved one. Most folks often get overwhelmed and end up very quickly out of their depth and panic reacting to events. This places the afflicted in increased danger and heightens the confusion and anxiety they experience more and more as time and their faculties wane. You can always grow in your capacities to plan and manage more effectively, especially as this is not about someone else but you and or your wife loosing cognition and awareness. I wish you the best, a peaceful future.

'We're not in Kansas anymore Toto.' Percentages considered appropriate as a tip in one country doesn't necessarily translate as appropriate in another. 'Up to you' as we say here. Tip what you like.

Spot on my Oz cobber! It was a 12 person jury of citizens (not the BS conspiracy nutjob palava being spouted) that recommended the governments indictments be ratified and taken forward to trial. But as you and I, and all sane critical thinking adults know, cultist, white-supremacist bigots aren't at all interested in the truth or the inconvenience of facts. And lets be crystal clear if anyone thinks and believes Trump is a good and decent man, a patriot, and not a monumental crook and traitor then you are at the very least one or both of the descriptors I posted in the previous sentence.

As opposed to what you're promoting?

Yep the ME3 have lay flat beds in Business class, all sized planes, Boeing and Airbus models. Most other major airlines now offer lay-flat beds in Business as well. There may be exceptions (I/we don't know of any) because for me I hardly ever fly business with any other than the ME3 cause their service offerings are so superior and consistently excellent (Qatar is truly off the charts good) to other lines (in my opinion). Air France 'La Premier' first class is amazing as good as any ME3 offering but not on all long-haul routes sadly.

I spend endless hours a week in search of the perfect ball strike and flight ... How stupid must I be ????????????????

I'm too messed up, n bitter to talk about karma ???? ... but here's Sadh Guru having a chat about it.

I searched and searched but no category for nose picking procrastinators?

I tried the urban monastic life .. Now I hurtle headlong into excess after excess ... and I love it !

How dare these 'uncivilised' island people dare resent the great white culture! How ungrateful! They should be grateful they were gifted by the invasion, grateful for their subjugation, humbly thankful for the disenfranchisement of their idyllic utopian culture. I mean look at what the white man did to Waikiki - such 'progress'. How could anyone object to, or find offensive, land prices being driven so high the native people cannot afford to live, loud mouthed (and please don't tell me Yanks aren't, arguably THE loudest most obnoxious tourists to be found), arrogant mainlanders tramping about, demanding as they go.

Yep the rat-pack including King Rat Donald himself have about 10 days to present themselves for charging and processing. State prosecution in Georgia - He can't pardon himself or be pardoned by any President for a conviction. Minimum jail time for the huge and comprehensive list of offences in the charges is 5 years. Nitwits like Sidney Powel are gunna see some cell time I think. As for the Orange Pukefest, if the US judicial system doesn't throw him in jail (and for considerable years to boot) then you can truly say bye bye to "the great experiment". The now, writ large, open emergence and declaration of the dystopian anarchic intentions (loudly voiced by sitting Senators e.g. Matt Gaetz speaking alongside Trump the other day that violent overturning the rule of Law was now the ONLY means to further GOP/MAGA rightist nightmare). The entire GOP legislature, with access to future control of the military (if it infects the White House) offers up to its Master the fascistic evangelical right, which is alive, well, and incredibly powerful in US culture. Giving this perverse quasi-religious cult, a mechanism to actualise with all its sicko might turning America into a real Handmaids Tale and in doing so plunging the entire world into an a place of anarchic evil even todays bizarre worlds events would pale to.
