    I've said this before and I'll say it again-- the list of ingredients does not list all ingredients. Having said that, out of a sense of depression, resulting from having to stare down a list of numbers, including a revolting upcoming payment to my cousin of 24k for her work as executor as defined by statue (revolting), and being caught off guard and strong armed by the probate attorney (technical, of course) after working with my attorney in Florida diligently for months and fully expecting a different process than the one that was shoved in my face, with a warning that it I didn't sign, the probate attorney would have to do more work and I'd receive less (I'm pissed off, it you couldn't tell),... I decided, at least this once, to eat myself half to death. And I did. And I didn't read labels. I'll feel like death warmed over and I'll regret doing it. But it's one of the ways I sometimes deal with stress. And that's what happened.

    Andy, I agree. You probably have the clothes to put in it. I'd buy their smaller duffel bag for mine if I hadn't reached my $ limit for leather products. I like this. I like it because it's a hardcase. I have no use for it at all. https://timeresistance.com/products/leather-attache-case-briefcase-a-legacy (Black.)

    This country was founded on Enlightenment principles. But good luck arguing with a Christian nationalist. Smashing your head against a concrete wall would be a better use of your time. They believe in a metaphysical power, as the professor said, and they also believe that their point of view constitutes absolute truth. They are theocratic and their metaphysical views contain some very strange ideas. All of this would be fine, if they understood that their religious beliefs were their private concern. But, no. They feel perfectly justified in trying to create a world in which an apocalypse would happen. I live in a Evangelical Christian neighborhood. Let's just say that hell will freeze over before I'll be inviting any of them to my home. I guess I'm beyond the culture shock, and there are good and bad people in any group, but, in general, what I have encountered is appalling to me. YMMV.

    @bernard I would say definitely Jeffries, and, I would say, anyone else, including Fetterman, who has been bought and paid for by AIPAC, and is doing the bidding of a foreign country.

    Well, into every life a little rain must fall. Pilots do an amazing job, every day. They're awesome. My guess is that they'll handle this like the professionals we know then to be. Pilots? Respect!

    It will be a report. I'm all for that. I'm afraid it will affect nothing, though.

    "Having your own voice" is overrated when all you do is playing cover.

    I should not play anything that loud. I might be tarred and feathered.
