Real utter balm that dairy farmers use on their cows is the best moisturizer you can get. I know up there near Franklin there are still a lot of farms or go to a tractors supply as you can get it there too.

FYI, due to the pandemic- Pornhub is now free everywhere in the world. Now that this information is out, I expect the posts on this thread to slow down quite a bit.

I hope this is added to the key post list

Elect Alphred E. Neuman for president.

Kid 17 just died.... Lancaster, California.

#2761 4 years ago

I'll be interested to learn the details of the stimulus package. I wonder if I'll see a dime of it. Probably not; I worked my ass off to get where I am, so I'm sure that means I'll be excluded from it. Irony is, I'd spend the damn money in the name of boosting the economy. Uncle Sam likes me, always has....

And that Mexico video is frightening. With that attitude, they will be worse than Italy. Keep the border closed...

#2762 4 years ago

With all the Corona Virus challenge idiots out here and those who gather together against advice "maybe" we should enact some temporary laws to deal with this until we are more in the clear. Don't know maybe quarantine them for 30 days and I don't mean in their homes, something to protect them and us??
May already be laws on our books that cover this, anyone know for sure??????

If you make more than 75K a year you won't but we will need to see it as I'm sure there are extenuated circumstances where some will qualify even if in the upper income level.

Looks like this malaria drug is helping to lesson the effects of this virus, anything that can offer help is welcome.

Quoted from vec-tor:

Sad life is short enough for normal times let alone being cut short by this virus. I feel for this kids parents. Be safe not a statistic guys.

I assume that'll double for a household? I make more than $75k per year. We are a single income household with two young children. I pay through the nose on taxes. So in short, I pay more than my fair share, but probably will get "phased out". I wonder if Robinhood helped author this thing? I'm not bitter; the whole thing sucks, really. Let's add some more to our national deficit...

He's not young so we can likely see it's outcome. Hate seeing all these people being hit by this.

No back and fourth, that was just not funny, the kid died, he has family, it's a tragedy not a movie. I sure hope no one could possibly enjoy that.

Quoted from RWH:

A serious suggestion for you - put me on ignore. You clearly are agitated by my posts - and miss their point entirely - so why read them?

I’ve picked up about 5 new ignores from this thread, rather than bicker with people. Give it a shot.

I honestly don’t think he was making light of the kids death, more trying to make the point of money/economy being more important than lives.

No , when searching about cuomo not buying ventilators in 2015 this was one of a few that surfaced .

#2781 4 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

No it’s not bad.
All the panic buying, hoarding, and general hysteria isn’t happening here. At least not yet.
We’ve kind of been through crazy shit like this before.

No, not at all, I just think you may have missed the point he was trying to make, and I never said I agreed/disagreed one way or the other

Hope you guys who find such things funny and upvote this do not get touched by this virus, we should have some funny comments then eh?

#2784 4 years ago
Quoted from chad:

That movie is up next in “Coronavirus Theater” (ie: movies I’m forcing my gf to watch.).

She picked Working Girl early this week so it’s my turn, either this or Robocop.

No there was no point and to pretend there was is very sad and says a lot about who we are.

#2786 4 years ago
Quoted from RWH:

Really???????? I can't fathom your thoughts, did you find that funny?????

I feel bad for the kids family. In private, I would make a joke about it. Publicly, maybe not, depends on my audience.

Maybe I just have a twisted sense of humor. Hell, I make jokes about my own family getting it. For instance, my mom has advanced dementia. I wish they'd give her a coronapop. See, funny. Not that I want my mom to die some horrible death - hell, she's my mom and all I want is the best for her (which honestly would be for her to pass so she doesn't suffer any more than she has - what an awful disease). But I try to keep a sense of humor about things.

I'm sure Levi doesn't find pleasure in the death of a 17 year old kid.

#2787 4 years ago
Quoted from Daditude:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-coronavirus-stimulus-bill-lindsey-graham-democrats-vote
The white house and senate just reached a deal on a 2 trillion dollar stimulus package.

Do a lot of you go to fox for your news? Serious question.

#2788 4 years ago
Quoted from PinJim:

I assume that'll double for a household? I make more than $75k per year. We are a single income household with two young children. I pay through the nose on taxes. So in short, I pay more than my fair share, but probably will get "phased out". I wonder if Robinhood helped author this thing? I'm not bitter; the whole thing sucks, really. Let's add some more to our national deficit...

Here's the details. From what I read this is based on 2019 tax filings.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/stimulus-senate-action-coronavirus/index.html

"Under the plan as it was being negotiated, individuals who earn $75,000 in adjusted gross income or less would get direct payments of $1,200 each, with married couples earning up to $150,000 receiving $2,400 -- and an additional $500 per each child. The payment would scale down by income, phasing out entirely at $99,000 for singles and $198,000 for couples without children."

I don't see anything about head of household on the CNN article but a provision was in the Senate plan. I'm not sure if this provision got carried over (hopefully) to the joint plan.

"Senate Republicans have proposed a $1,200 refundable tax credit for individuals ($2,400 for joint taxpayers) which begins phasing out at a 5 percent rate at $75,000 for singles, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for joint taxpayers."

#2789 4 years ago
Quoted from RWH:

Again I never said I agreed/disagreed with his statement, just that I understood the point he was trying to make.

#2790 4 years ago

Hope the mods don't ban when family is lost, I got some points to make of my own.

In all likelihood we'll not know for sure what's in it until it passes the House and goes in effect. I hope it covers all americans to some extent. especially those with children. Hell even $100,000 doesn't go far for a family with more than two kids in todays economy.

It's literally what some talking heads and politicians are proposing - it's better to die than let the economy collapse. He's poking fun at that rhetoric, because of course it's a ghoulish take.
