I am curious. Do you know anything about the epidemiology of the cases in the Washington State (Kirkland) LTC facility? Also, do you know if the current test methods in the US have any or many false positives? I tried to Google both questions b…
@dtconroe, I see you have edited the post I replied to and the offensive attack on MFO has been deleted. Thank you for removing those words.
I never complained or said a word about your long post. Not ever. I reacted to the insults you lashed at th…
dtconroe, why do want so badly to hang around people who are known by universal reputation to be so, so, so "shallow" and "focused"? Actually, I've been here for years and years and I think Anna is the only poster that is "shallow" but she isn't all…
I sent my sister a Christmas gift bought on Amazon. She lives in Tennessee, home of FedEx. Amazon delivered the gift and provided a photo of the exact location at her home they left the gift.
A milk man delivered milk next door to me until the woman, age 93, died a couple of years ago. So there was milk delivery still available. We still have a postman that puts a pack across his back and walks door to door to house mounted mail boxes. T…
Thanks to MFO and the regular posters and linkers who make my everyday richer in more than one way. And thanks to the Casino that is preparing my feast.
We've gone from a culture of need ("demand it and it will appear") to a culture of change ("create it and they will adapt"). Does the second way of thinking lead to the greater creativity?
I don't know if it's illegal or not (think war opponents) but if the President can do this on his own individual whim, it's scary. Until I thought about war enemies, my knee jerk reaction was "he can't do that".

I recently ran into a 21st century problem. Our cell phone android version will not run the apps required for upgrading my home to smart. Namely I couldn't connect a Ring Doorbell Pro to my router because my router password resulted in a "Failed" me…
I worked with an Air Force Colonel once that said that he used degrees as a filter for jobs with many applicants. He said that finishing a bachelor's degree showed that the applicant was not only capable but also was someone who could stick with it …
Who knows who has my or your data. Breaches OPM, State of Delaware, Home Depot, and a host of smaller ones, both government and private. At one time I was receiving four free scanning services all related to stolen data bases at the same time. So fo…
The country has precious few resources going forward if we don't get back on track. We would be well advised to do anything we can to encourage education, innovation and inspiration. If the "best and the brightest" can't get a bit of help, how can y…
The last year of boomers turns 67 in 2031 giving them more than 10 year to accumulate savings. I don't know about you but, even with the 2000 and 2008 downturns I doubled my savings between 2000 and my retirement in 2010. I have a passion for number…
Maybe it is who we are as a culture or, maybe, a species. Do we really worry more about the wealthy and their businesses and farms (or the profit derived from them) than about food for the young?
At the minimum, don't you find it interesting that t…
That'll only get less than 13 of my commune buddies into the $569 seats. We don' like the cheaper ones. Maybe only send my husband and the rest of the border security watch crew. They like stuff like that and Canadian intrusion won't uptick too much…
