We are engaged in spiritual warfare, locked in battle with both the physical and spiritual realms. Almost one year ago, I wrote an op-ed in hopes of bringing awareness to the spiritual battles, both seen and unseen, being waged all around us. Last year, in my op-ed,

I tend to use the polarity strategy, pretty systematically. I "randomly" select a square to start from, and then guess everything on a diagonal shared by that square. Then I guess everything on a diagonal that is "translated" four squares away from the first diagonal (under the rationale that some ships are four or five squares long). Naturally a hit interrupts that strategy with a "seek and destroy" tactic. Once I'm done with all the "

Thank you, Dr. Sotkiewcz, for these observations.
Trump has, as best as I can recall, beginning when I first read (probably in Barron's) comment on his behavior and choices, a personal and professional history of candidly portraying himself and does so explicitly to invite them to engaging with him, almost to making him a 'role-model'. He markets himself constantly and does so in provocative and disturbing ways in real hope that he will be liked, listened to, followed - how flattering, self-serving, indifferent to the needs and views of others,.

Thanks Myles! we need more people speaking about the goodness of OO... when it's properly sourced, with all the variables that you described (and some more*)
I just wanted to comment that, in your last point, about early harvest, you mentioned two attributes of the oil: green color and peppery flavor, and these are not necessarily a sign of freshness, quality or early harvest. Color and organoleptic notes are much more related to the variety and terroir.

This really got me to view my own tattoos in a new light. I now sort of see them as a little scrapbook of things I’ve collected. Even the one I’m not happy with the look of anymore. It clearly meant something to past Breanne and I think it’s important to think about what it meant at the time.

Susan, as a fellow senior, I totally understand your frustration. Sometimes, when I'm watching "Law and Order," I get really ticked off at the outcome, especially when the defendant gets on my nerves. When I turn off the TV later on, I might still be upset about the way it went, but I ultimately get over it. That's because I know it's fiction.
Watching and hearing about all the crap (sorry, but I can't help it) that over and over and over again proves that Lady Justice could CARE LESS about anything, especially when someone tips one side of the scale a little.

Mr. Pfeiffer, both Trump and Biden agreed there would be no fact checking from the moderators during the debate. So; no fact checking. Some have complained that Trump was allowed to weasel out of answering about 5 questions. But this is not entirely true. Both Bash and Tapper tried to get him to answer by repeating their questions. He simply refused. Which is, of course a kind of answer in itself.

this is just to think out loud, not a finished effort, with everyone present:
