How about a silicone sleeve for the handle? Or would you for get to put it on?

Old woman here with a cool tip: In the good old days, I used to drive to the bank and get cash to pay my car repairs with. Try it.

Nobody feels safe. It's not about the crime but the perception of crime. The media and politicians gain nothing by making us feel safe.

I think we have to go back to your basic premise & realize that we don't really know what our government is supposed to do. I'm not sure that has ever been clear. MAGA thinks it's just to wage war & fight crime, I think. So we need to discuss that. Get a clear agreement from most. Slogans and all.

If they all agree on the count, that batch is counted. If they get different numbers, they count again. Just like in Australia. People voting for people together.

Nope! I will never trust that. What I want is ANALOGUE VOTING. We write it down and send it in or go to the polls. There, they have 3 representatives of varying parties and none counting each vote and recording it.

Wow. She must really hate her mom. She could just ghost her. That's better karma than trying to "own" her about such evil.
