Damn, I had no idea. I got all the shots. Every single time. I don't feel bad right now. I only have 3 hours left. I think I'll make a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs with some garlic rolls. My last supper? I just thought the shots made me fat.

Glad to hear that you never started! I remember going to the county fairs and they handed cigarettes out 2 to a pack for free. My mom used to make me as a kid go and stand in line for them. I mean probably 7 or 8 y.o.

I hear you. But one thing about addiction...the killing part oftentimes is over a long period of time so it is not immediately noticeable. Some drugs though have an immediate deadly effect.

It is purposely a physical addition. But I only "smoked" my mother's second-hand smoke. I definitely enjoy the sensation that I get when I smell someone lighting up. All the best for 2026.

Pre-social media. The Turner Diaries. Ruby Ridge (1992). Waco (1993). Federal govt. illegitimate and oppressive. Apocalyptic thinking. Viewed the bombing (1995) of the Fed Bldg as a catalyst for an uprising against the Federal government. 168 "morally justified" deaths. Any of this sound familiar?

Scientists perhaps but not engineers. Engineering is an applied science. They don't need to know how the formula came into being but rather how to apply it to the situation making them incredibly adaptive. They take the theoretical and innovate the practicality thru multi disciplinary approaches.

Postmarked? So at the USPS but not delivered yet? So a corrupt USPS (can you even imagine?) could purposively hold up delivery? So will it affect my tax return which just has to be postmarked by April 15th? Will the insanity ever stop?
