House Passes Assault Weapons Ban Bill/And About That Burn Pit

We're talking about veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan being denied care for cancer and other diseases they contracted after being exposed to the smoke from toxic burn pits. Cruz and the others were happy to vote down the legislation, hence the fist bumps. You really ought to look at some alternative news sources than what you are watching.

I know, right? Mel needs to check his sources and he'll get back to you. LOL.

A little update on my hand recovery

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Well, today is a good day. My hand is getting better, slowly, but I still can't stretch my ring and little finger due to the nerve damage that is healing very slowly. It's been five months and a week and I've been putting off my monthly attempt to play as it was so bad in the previous months that I didn't want to be disappointed.

Anyways, I am going to list a couple of extra pedals I don't need on craigslist to build up the gear funds. I have a Boss TU-2 tuner that is redundant so I took it downstairs to test it to make sure it still works correctly before I listed it. On my way down I had an idea, a real light bulb moment. I have a brace the OT made me that really didn't work and they made me a second one. I didn't like the way the first one felt due to a strap across the last knuckle of my fingers. I put it on for the first time since then and didn't us the finger straps. The seemingly fruitless effort so far that I've been putting in with my therapy strengthening them paid off and I could now move all of my fingers freely and the brace held them at a downward angle so I could extend the ring finger making it possible to play chords. The little finger is still basically useless, but I was able to play a lot more than I could without the brace. This should be good, fun, and I emphasize fun way of doing some different exercise for it, too. I'm pretty happy right now.

And on a different subject I got out observing last night for the first time since last fall. I washed my mirror and everything. telescope and all electronics worked flawlessly. All I needed to do was know the M or NGC numbers and the scope drove right to them. Saw the comet above Scorpius, too.

I'm sure you know it'll take a lot of time before an injury as severe as yours eventually heals. I'm guessing you've had the usual therapy-putty exercises along with paraffin baths and the like. Have they upped the color on your theraputty for progressive increases in your resistive exercises or is it too early?
I did three months of hand therapy after letting it heal for the first month and when evaluated the OT suggested temporarily stopping OT and doing exercises on my own while the nerve heals. I also didn't want to run out of insurance before that happens and now I'm five months away from medicare and now wonder  what, if any future OT will be covered? Hmm.... got to get signed up soon.

Rod isn't a news source. I thought he was a Chiropractor. He posts about things he's read from other news sources that he wants to talk about in this political forum. You know, a place where politics is discussed. BTW, I don't see you posting much about the things you read from your "news sources" that sway your views.

I agree with him sometimes, not all. All I know is what you comment on, usually agreeing with the far right and fox news. I swear, sometimes I can' decipher what you are trying to say.

BTW- were you upset about Hillary's deleted or missing emails? I seem to recollect you were and still are. Is it okay when your guy does it? I've asked that a couple of times, I could demand an answer like our resident "Richard", but I won't.

Having a bit of fun this morning since it appears that the Democrat party is now entering the Realm of G. Orwells book "1984"

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I felt the woosh from all the way over here in Michigan. I rarely open one of the "Richard's" postings but saw there were a couple of more posts and the first thing I thought reading the meme was how truly clueless he is.

I've been complaining about the deleted text messages for days now, but they only care if it's Hillary or Hunter Biden doing the deleting.

According To The People Who Make The Call, We're Not In A Recession

I don't sit here and shoot names at people at any rate even close to what you claim I do.  You say I "Nearly always" do that?  Hmm... that's another bit of complete exaggeration on your part as far as I can tell.  smile

In fact the only person I do that with it is really Rod K.  

That's because he refers to me as an asshole and a Trumptoid regularly.

But hey don't let the truth get in the way of your narrative where you claim I "Nearly always" name call.    wink.  

Just yesterday or today (can't remember for sure) Jim M. Called me a Dick,   once again.

And he didn't address me as "Dick" his remarks were personal and he even created a picture with a guitar pick.  

What was my response in return?  Gee, nothing.  I don't even think I mocked him back.  LOL!.

So then, I guess that was the ONE single time out of the last 20 responses I gave here where I didn't call someone a name in return, because we all know that the other 19 times, I called the person I was responding to, a vulgar name, correct?  

Oh wait.... You mean to say I did NOT do that as you claimed??  Gee, isn't that shocking.  shocked

However, if you want to continue being stuck on that broken record, just like the rest of the left here, whining and complaining about my persona, it doesn't really bother me, but I will take the opportunity to set the record straight. 

P.S.  I just revisited this very thread, and Jim M. posted on Page 9, response #86, and you tell me why he felt the need to call me a dick?

He even posted my response to James, which had no name calling or obnoxious remarks about James personally and yet one of his lines was to say "Insert any derogatory name you want to call Rich here". 

You know something Counselor, that is just another of the dozens of examples whereby you've shown completely biased selective outrage, so I think that makes my point for me.  Don't you?  

And my guess is that you'll completely ignore his posting #86, because...... well in your mind Jim M's response about me, and his nasty remark to me,  was a completely appropriate one, and within reason, right ?   tongue

And you wonder why I call you a fraud and a tool for the left??    Believe me, when I tell you that love you more than you could ever know, because as Greg pointed out earlier you tote their water for them.  cool
Oh, come on. That Dick Pick was funny, but I certainly wouldn't go through the trouble of actually "creating" a meme for you. I found that when I googled your name.

Just thought I'd point that out to the little group that your Quarterback has been OUTED!   grin

Enjoy your night.  
I would think he has better things to do then respond to your BS questioning just like most of us here. Luckily, I can do two things at once, like taking a crap and responding to one of your inane postings. It’s practically the same thing.
