@HistorylandHQ It was an odd era to be at the beach. Some still dressed formally for the beach, men in full business suits, women in all their finery.

In 2018, an Arizona woman was arrested after texting a man 159,000 times over 10 months following just one date. That’s about 530 texts a day.

@allie__voss “Less maintenance on a new car” is how they will justify it but they don’t seem to grasp that if you are not paying the $700/mo note, you will save enough money to overhaul the whole damn car and still have plenty of money left over.

People hate on Dave Ramsey but honestly he's the best advice for a lot of people It's oversimplified if you're financially stable, but otherwise most people genuinely just need to hear "DO NOT BUY A NEW CAR"
Britt Ortega@evergreenqveen

People in my local mommy group are such mindless consumers they will post “should I buy a new car? I really can’t afford it and if I lost my job we would be screwed” AND EVERY MOM IS TELLING HER A NEW CAR IS SMART

@JMcNallyBooks Before Kindles and Kindle apps on smartphones, there were pocket paperbacks. My father never left the house without a paperback stuffed into his back pocket. He hated to be bored.

Conservative accounts will suffer the most with a dislike button. This is because Leftists have no tolerance whatsoever for dissenting opinions and they have the negative energy (driven by hatred) to spend inordinate amounts of time spamming conservative accounts with dislikes in attempts to discredit and mute their opinions, as well as discourage them from posting their opinions in the first place.

My concern about a "dislike" button is that it will make talking anything controversial more difficult. People will get their accounts nuked with organized groups that run thousands of dislikes. Leftists will target someone like Nick Shirley who is exposing fraud.

@freegrazer1 @unlimited_ls This is the big issue I have with liberal thinking with regard to criminals. They want to be soft with career criminals until they actually murder somebody. Why do we have to wait until somebody is murdered to lock career criminals up for life?

@unlimited_ls I’m all for harsh prison sentences, but without a death in this case I believe 25 is over the top. Somewhere around 10-15 years seems proper.

THE $1.57 MILLION SNAKE SCREW-UP She thought she grabbed a harmless python. It was actually a venomous cottonmouth. 4 days in the ICU, 70 vials of antivenom, and a $1.57 million hospital bill.

Used to score games like this in Fenway park during the 1970s. They would sell these, with a pencil, for about 50 cents. Doing this really makes you pay attention to the game and in doing so, you start picking up on the nuances of the sport. We lost something when we stopped doing this.
