    Did the Taliban and Red Rascal meet at Appomattox Courthouse?-This war will not end with the signing of a treaty. Get the vision of the Battleship Missouri out of your heads. The Taliban will keep fighting until they capture Kabul and kill all their enemies. What is happening in Iraq with ISIS will happen in Afghanistan.

    That’s the sort of thing that makes a young man run far and fast. Back in the day those ridiculous expeditions to the ends of the Earth had less to do with scientific or national advancement than 4 or 5 generations living under the same roof.

    Nice save, Dad. I guess scare tactics do work wonders.

    No, he was interested in breaking up the base of the people who flew planes into our buildings and killed 3,000+ innocent people (you’ve probably forgotten about all that ancient 8/22 stuff). It’s what Bush did afterward that screwed things up.

    Well, we’ll be getting a repeat soon enough so we’ll see how your guy handles it.

    Joanie was over 40 when we met her back in the early 1970s, which would put her in her eighties now. But I guess that would mean she was in her fifties when Jeff was born, so GBT must have adjusted her age long ago.

    I would say there will be a few more years before he has to change their diapers. At the same time, we were all shocked when we suddenly saw my 92 year old mom was becoming incontinent. This is only a problem when they are too proud to admit it, which she is. That is where assisted living with memory care comes in handy. We never thought she would need an alf, but it is a 24/7 job taking care of someone like her and we already have full time jobs and children to take care of, etc.

    Never done either, but I’ll bet changing a baby diaper beats changing an adult diaper..As for “kill them all”, killing some creates more, so there is no end.

    We never tried to kill everybody in Vietnam.I hope we never try genocide.Brainwashing to cleanse thoughts of genocide on their part might be considered considering lives saved.

    No, but he started it without the competency to end it.And, maybe you can “kill them all”, but others may decide they can terrorize us, since they can’t “kill us all”.
