  1. Hi folks, Know anyone looking for a job? This is still a great area to live in: Nike, Columbia begin plans to fire unvaccinated employees - Portland Business Journal (bizjournals.com) Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Ken, Ever hear about an infinite number of monkeys & an infinite number of typewriters? Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Winsor, I'm with you. While I am very sure it will not happen, at least at the federal level, I would love to see Trump in jail. IMO I hope Trump tries to get the nomination again. While a lot of the poll numbers show he is very popular with the GOP, I doubt he could actually get the nomination. Jerry Baumchen PS) The track record for candidates that he has supported has not been good.
  4. Hi Robert, Ever hear of: 'I'm taking my ball & going home.' From your link: Trump abruptly ended the interview Hmm, one wonders who is the more immature? Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi airdvr, I've never had 2nds. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Joe, Fortunately, I've never had a case of any STD. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi airdvr, The luck of the draw. When I was stationed in France, three guys from the base picked up a girl in Metz & all three had sex with her. #1 & #3 got the clap, #2 two did not. Again, the luck of the draw. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi Wendy, Every so often I think the same thing. Have I changed the world to any notice? No. When I die, will the world notice? No. I've had a fairly good life, raised some kids I'm crazily proud of, and have two grandkids that I also am crazily proud of. I've done the job Mother Nature asked of me. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Don, I also miss them both. I learned a lot from both of them. Jerry Baumchen PS) I also learn a lot when 'discussing' things with my son. He can & does take me to task.
  10. Hi Ken, IMO the GOP grabbed on to the Roe v Wade for political purposes ONLY. The emotional thing came later; after they got everybody riled up. Jerry Baumchen PS) Roe v Wade was decided on 22 Jan 73. I wonder how many people posting here were adults then. => they got everybody riled up
  11. Hi Sky, Never to say that my memory is perfect. But, that was Andy9o8. I remember because it made me rethink my position on the death penalty. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi John, Remind you of anyone? Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Coreece, Freudian slip? Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO what the Libertarian Party stands for is insignificant as they represent too little of our population.
  14. Hi folks, When someone gets Covid, they are told to self-isolate. I'm not so sure that this is what they meant: Texas teacher 'locked Covid-positive son in car boot' - BBC News Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Wendy, It only takes a little time in the Honeymoon Bed; but, you know that. In the Fall of 1977 I worked in Japan for eight weeks. My then wife came over for the last two weeks. My son was born nine months later. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Joe, I do agree. However, I am also against it because: - IMO it is barbaric - It is not necessary to protect society - The finality of it - No matter what new information is later discovered - Consider what these people have found out over the years: Innocence Project - Help us put an end to wrongful convictions! Jerry Baumchen PS) While in Basic Training ( a couple of lifetimes ago ), SSGT Willocks told us that he considered life in prison a worse sentence than the death penalty. That is when I began seriously thinking about it.
  17. Hi olof, Basically, do not get sick of anything in Oregon: the Oregon Health Authority has developed a triage tool — to help hospitals make decisions about care if or when resources become limited Oregon responds to an ‘alarming spike’ in COVID-19 cases - OPB Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Ken, Even more of a 'miracle' since I only weighed 3 lb 4 oz at birth. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi Ken ( and Bill ), Re: the ability to live independently outside the mother is the criterion. If we were to use this, then I would not be here. * I was born at the 7-month point & spent about 60 days in an incubator. Five times the doctor told my mother that he did not expect me to live. Jerry Baumchen * Some probably wish I were not here.
  20. Hi Joe, I knew that there was something that I liked about you. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Wendy, Re: I realize that as the only woman in this discussion . . . I have nothing important to say IMO you could not be more incorrect. I wish we more women in this discussion. SkyMama, where are you? Jerry Baumchen PS) I say that I am pro-abortion because I am of the belief that the world is severely over-populated.
  22. Hi Keith, We think alike. However, I am beginning to agree with Andy9o8, an attorney who used to post a lot here. He was against the death penalty unless one killed or was responsible for a killing while incarcerated. IMO not a bad position to take. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi Coreece, I am fairly sure that you know how to read. That you can comprehend; not so much. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi folks, IMO well deserved: Ahmaud Arbery’s killers get life in prison; no parole for father, son - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
