I had lunch with High Hopes today. He's doing well and decompressing. I mentioned this site but I doubt I'll see him here, as he has other priorities in life.
All in all, it looks like there are maybe four sane people left there.
Anyone who does not worship political leaders is reasonably sane in my books.
Absolutists can't tollerate their position politically or concerning religion to be challenged. This factor freeze's most of the posters at LP into a never ending Twilight Zone episode.
America is hitting the mat hard repeatedly in this National overthrow.
The Lunatics think that by going over to one side of the Titanic and then flailing about like Neanderthals'......that the ship will be saved from its fate.
No. My sister moved up there in the mid-70's. Her best friend at the time had moved from near there to Pittsburgh in 1968. My sister helped her move back, met a guy and ended up staying. We moved Mom up there in 2001 when she turned 80 because it was cheaper than anything we could find near me. She went into the nursing home last year. The Parkinson's became too much to manage.
It probably workled out for the best. Up there she weas able to move into a house net door to my sister. She would have been a couple of miles away here. And now she'd still be waiting for a bed.
One of my boyhood friends from NJ lives up there for many years now. I've visited the UP several times and can see the attraction many people have for it. One of my local pals is a Yooper and he's up there visiting his elderly parents. He's going to have to do something for his mother soon as Alzheimers is slowly taking its toll on her.
BTW, this site doesn't support Unicode! Um...uh...SHIT...
Not so important, since I don't think there's too many Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc readers/writers here. But it's clear this software was written a LOOOONG time ago.
