In the grand scheme of the election this may be minor and a little paranoid.

Just wondering if this has been happening to anyone else.
I have recently gotten 2 texts from Republicans that I have typed stop and while normally when I request stop I get a choice if delete or delete and report junk. On one I got no message that it was stopped and on the other report junk was not an option. Last week I got text from a Republican and did as another poster suggested responding with an expletive and was told I was removed. I will admit it made me smile.

If the repubs think they are being cute or intimidating, they are not. Ignoring someone saying no or stop is pretty on brand for them.

So it is almost 3 am and i am reading a book that talks about the sword of Damocles

Which takes me to Dionysius 1 of Syracuse and how he had an army of mercenaries as bodyguards that he got when he faked an attack on his life and became known as a tyrant who lived between 400 and 300 bc. He ended up getting killed through an overdose ordered by his son. Sound like anyone we know who happens to have 3 sons.

I know their are others out there who, like me, don't always sleep well. I often read your posts and decided to share this one in hopes it amuses you also. Now back to my book.

I have been receiving text messages that there was a problem with my vote.

We moved 2 months ago so I wanted to make sure all was ok. Checked my vote WI and all was good, ballot received. I called the number given and let them know, they double checked, all good. Just wanted to say the good Democrats in the state of WI are on the ball. Talked to a very nice person who I am sure is very busy, but I had received 4 texts and just wanted to let them know all was good.

Stay positive out there, the people are taking action and are on top of the situations. Blue wave in roevember.

The interview read like a bad movie.

Asking the same question many times to try to get the "perp" to slip. Hanging light bulb shining in his face. Attacking "perps" intelligence.
Did George get confused and think he was interrogating trump, who is an actual "perp" ?

Sloppy work. Maybe George should consider stepping down.

I realize we all need to know what is going on

but can we slow down on the new York times and CNN posts. They often quote sources without names. Propaganda plus.

Poutine suggestions please.

We will do turkey with my daughters family this week end. We will be watching the Packers game tomorrow and have decided to try the Canadian comfort food as our game food. Any suggestions? Internet search led to many different ways to make it.

Is JHB taking a break from toons?

If so, understood and thanks for posting them for so long. They helped me thru a couple of dark times.

I belong to the somewhat talked about this week boomer crowd. I do have something to say that might

be relevant. I normally get my social security deposited on the last Wednesday of the month. I was surprised to see it deposited today. So my thoughts are
I am losing my brain cells and I may think it's Monday, but it is actually Wednesday or
someone has hacked social security and goofed and instead of taking my money, actually gave it too me early or
The SSA is getting ready for the government shutdown.
