Good morning, all...
First--the following is one of Gary Larson's funniest "weiner dog" panels and is dedicated to the folks who: 1. love and have dachsies as their companion furballs; 2. love coffee; 3. usher in my Coffee Bar.

Groucho Marks had a comment about our situation.
(Bill, just keepin' things light. Yeah, serious times. Doesn't mean we have to lose our sense of humor, possibly the most important of our senses...)

Highly intelligent people work best in chaos and ambiguity. We are also fluently profane, don't do well with "time management" systems, either the commercial ones or the ones we create for ourselves.
We think tangentially and non-linerally.
That's why other folks think we are weird. We are like-

1. Gerontologist-"You're my healthy old guy?"
3. Cardiac specialist-"Don't need to see you for a year."
4. Ortho guy-"You don't need new knees, we can use gel."
5. Hand surgeon- "You just need bigger balls."
So, I got bigger balls for hand flexibility and finger strength.

An intelligent woman, who, I hope, will know there are others around who understand that living life a half-bubble off level is okay.
Before you are 50. When I did.

Sent my (disowned) MAGArad Evangel sister these Nat Geo pictures of The Rabbi, pointing out that there NFW the dude was a European honky. Also, his language was Aramaic, he hung out with the poor, sex workers, and accepted and loved everybody.
She said I was wrong.

I disagree with BenBen. Christ-ians follow the Rabbi.
BIBLE-IANS follow "sanctified hate". This comes from the literal reading of the KJV translation, specifically the Old Testament.
Why do fools keep fucking confusing BIBLE-IANS with CHRIST-IANS?

Oh, the woes of 300 characters,
Sue. The cis-male MAGArads, IMHO, want to lash out at anyone who has achieved more, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, gender identification/orientation/attraction, oh, hell, the list is endless.
Then they cloak it in KJV "sanctified hate". 🤔😱

They both interpret their respective Holy Writs literally. Think I am wrong? KJVers are, by and large, Biblical literalists who lean into the the Violent God of the Old Testament and adopt "sanctified hate" as their "motto".
