Helen, I’m in Atlanta! Though grew up closer to Marietta area (I saw you mention the square a while back in this thread and got excited). It has gotten crazy expensive here, and the only reason I’m not struggling to pay bills is my boyfriend bought a place 6-7 years ago so we haven’t suffered from the rising rent prices.
And yes. If they want to pick and choose science, take away all their science LisforLeslie! They lost their science privileges.
Trump definitely has some sort of neurodegenerative disease. I have a friend who works at a brain trauma center, and one of the neurologists there actually wrote an article supporting that hypothesis. Another gem of an article I once saw said that French translators have a really hard time translating anything he says, because he isn’t actually saying anything coherent or with a real meaning.
Hope everyone on here who has been sick is feeling better!
“French translators have a really hard time translating anything he says, because he isn’t actually saying anything coherent or with a real meaning.”
LOL!!! I had kind of wondered how it was to try translate someone who just sort of talks in incoherent, vague, often bizarre and usually outrageously incorrect concepts! Like, how can you translate “we should nuke hurricanes!” or “maybe we could inject bleach to defeat COVID!” or “I have the best brain!” without it sounding like you’d obviously messed it up.
“French translators have a really hard time translating anything he says, because he isn’t actually saying anything coherent or with a real meaning.”
Yeah. That wins quote of the day.
I will be sharing that with as many people as possible. That is just wickedly delightful as well as humiliating.
Not sure why that posted anonymously, but please. If you have that article handy — I’d love to read it.
It’s been a few years since I read it, but I believe this is it:
My favorite quote is “Trump’s vocabulary is limited, his syntax is broken; he repeats the same phrases over and over, forcing the translator to follow suit,” she said.
“It’s as if he had thematic clouds in his head that he would pick from with no need of a logical thread to link them.”
I think there are a few other articles out there about how difficult he is to translate… it’s not just the French!
Arizona (Where i am) just extended its Stay at Home order through at least May 15, and i have people on facebook up in arms over it. I am so exhausted and done with this quarantine too, but bitching about it on social media does what? And again, i’m listening to the reputable doctors, etc. and not the guy who wants to go party every weekend who has been upset his routine has been messed up for over a month. SO SORRY.
Ugh. It’s just getting super tense and exhausting…
cattygolightly I’ve lived most of my life in Marietta! Only moved out last year! I miss it. I miss a lot things right now. Mainly my 19yo son who i haven’t seen in over 6 weeks. He stayed in Marietta when we moved lasted year because he wanted to stay close to his friends and school, thankfully my parents house has always been a flop house for family. My mom has COPD and I just don’t know when I’ll see either of them again. I’m bummed because I woke up with a fever again. 6 weeks Monday
Seriously, look at Trump recordings from the 80’s and 90’s. He was always an asshole but he used to be coherent! Republicans love a demented asshole (yeah I’m talking about Regan)
I’ve mentioned “Briefing Bingo” right. If my mom and I could hold liquor we’d turn it into a drinking game, sadly a half a glass of wine (whine) puts us both on the floor.
Tremendous!
Chine!

So I realize this is incredibly petty. But I think my brain needs to focus on something not dire currently.
Was in a zoom meeting and realized that while I managed to mask the hair needs a cut and color pretty well, the eyebrows are defeating me. They grow strangely low, onto my eyelids. Problem is I’m legally blind without my glasses, so the thought of taking a sharp object or a wax strip to them is seriously intimidating. I tried to tweezer them but without my glasses I can’t see well enough to grab the hairs.
So this morning I stood in the bathroom kinda laughing and crying and wondering why my eyebrows have suddenly become so important to my mental health.
Helen, Marietta is so cute! I love the square, the Strand, the little restaurants and knick knack stores, etc.I can see how you’d miss it. I mean I miss it! How far are you from there now?
And it’s hard to not see loved ones right now, and it’s especially scary when you have someone with an underlying condition, especially since your mom’s is lung related. I’m worried enough about my mom too, since she has heart valve issues, and had radiation this fall and we’re still waiting to see if she can make it to remission. It sounds like your mom is hopefully social distancing? I dropped masks off at my parents’ house since they insist on going out more than necessary, and had to beg them from afar in the yard to STOP going places. You don’t need to go to the store every other day. You don’t need to go pick up used furniture for a friend in the truck from an internet stranger right now. Just stop! And I can’t believe Covid has held onto you for six damn weeks. That sounds just awful.
And they really do. To quote the Boondocks “Ronald Reagan was the devil.” But Republicans loooooove him so much.
That coin is so hideous, but you know some people are going to buy it just because they love Trump. I love the CAPITALIZATION on certain parts of the COIN! It makes it so CLASSY!
