I had a ten-speed bicycle once, but the canteloupe fell off.
All I ever needed to know, I learned in Kindergarten
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box at nursery school.
These are the things I learned. Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you are sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday.
Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out in the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why. We are like that.
And then remember that book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK! Everything you need to know is there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology, and politics and the sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

It’s better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far that you light just one little candle
All you need’s a tiny spark
If we’d all say a prayer that the world would be free
The wonderful dawn on the new day we’ll see
And if everyone lit just one little candle
What a bright world this would be
(Let’s all light one little candle
Why stumble on in the dark)
When the day is dark and dreary
And your way is hard to find
Don’t let your heart be weary
Just keep this thought in mind
(It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far to light just one little candle
All you need’s a tiny spark)
If we’d all say a prayer that the world would be free
The wonderful dawn of the new day we’ll see
And if everyone lit just one little candle
What a bright world this would be
What a bright world this would be
LOL....dumbass.
What the heck are bottles of beer doing on the wall anyway? They should be in the fridge!
WHO LET THE TROLLS OUT! WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF.
There is NO stimulus check coming from zero.

The desert heat and sand are taking it toll on you. But you should have enough dough to fulfill your dreams. Sorry to hear about your bike; :-)
I know drink some coffee before posting.
What does boycotting non-essential luxury items have to do with this case? All this does is hurt the producers and those involved in the market for these items? This would do nothing to make a point about Constitutional eligibility.
Troll alert!
LOL. You sure that is what keeps you awake??
You need to get out more.
lol....My grandmother used to sing that to me.
ZZZZZZZOT!
"I have enough pictures of your file to have you executed for the rest of your life!"
Why is this considered a zot thread??
I have/had already determined to do as little as possible to support zerO’s planned command economy.
John Galt lives.
You have it backwards. A free and working market is the antithesis of socialism. Socialist economic agenda is always pushed under the guise of financial crisis. If we contribute to making the crisis worse, we are playing into their hands of having a crisis to fix(sic). The bigger the crisis, the grander the fix (see New Deal). If the economy is strong and working, people will not accept change for change sake.
