When you get a gift package in the mail do you let the sender know you received it? Is it just me or does it irk you when you don't?

I have a dear friend who is incredibly caring and well educated. We were talking about Obamacare and she is hoping it goes away. She is convinced that market place insurance policies won't cover any expenses for cancer care unless it's stage IV. WTF is wrong with people?

He seems to have a handle on the situation, as much as anyone could. I would be interested in hearing what the folks of Houston think of him.

They have been showing Ricardo Montalban movies all day. He is a pretty good singer and dancer.

There are some amazingly stupid, thin skinned Trumpsters on Facebook. If they post stupid, fact free crap they don't need to get so huffy when they get checked on it. Seriously, "De Vos is Great" on a News and Guts thread. What did she expect?

A very unhappy woman learned Expedia does not refund bookings that are cancelled by the hotel due to overbooking. I've used Expedia but always book hotels that provide a refund if cancelled within 24 hours of check-in. I don't know what would happen if the hotel cancelled my reservation but I'm definitely going to check before I book through Expedia.

The investigation on Clinton is over. The investigation on Russian meddling in the election is ongoing. He is trying so hard to put the two together. What an absolute dick.

It was supposed to go to court this Monday. I wonder if a backdoor deal was struck. Maybe that's why there is all the buzz about indictments.

when we were fighting for our freedom from England. We just helped them out with Intel that prevented Russia from hacking their election the way ours was hacked. Do you think they will help us fight for our freedom from our Russian puppet? Maybe provide some nice Intel to the press?

There were several significant leaks prior to the Russia investigation getting any traction. Then the investigation seemed to be picking up speed, the leaks stopped, Yates and Clapper testified. Now, Comey gets fired in a transparent attempt to stall the investigation. I don't think the international intel community is going to be happy about this or the person/people who were responsible for previous leaks. I've just got to wonder if the leaks will start up again. I'm betting they will, in a hugely way.
