Thanks. Appreciate the first-person account. I really am at the mercy of my friend who has spent winters and spring there for about five years. He’s trying to talk me into retiring there. I love the ecotourism but not sure I’m up to it right now. And thank you. Doctors say I’m a top 5% case. Very thankful.

I can understand why many states considered - and followed through on -secession in the early 1860s. I would welcome a national divorce.

We always went to the beach for spring break and of course, after graduation, to Panama City Beach. Tens of thousands of us. This kind of shite never happened.

Hmmm. Interesting. My friend is planning on retiring there full time. Trying to talk me into it also. We will talk about this.

Thanks for the heads up. My flight into San Jose arrives at about 11am, so I should be good there. I have a driver lined up for the drive to Jaco. I guess I’m at his mercy, haha. I’m trusting my friend on that. He lives there four months out of the year.

I listened to the CWS on the radio at Panama City Beach in 1983. Dave Magadan.

I hate to say it but I’m finding it hard to support some of his shite.

I will put my conservative Republican bonafides up against anybody on this board. I was co-founder of a College Republicans chapter at my university in 1983 when I was 18 years old. I’ve never voted for a Democrat at any level of office in my 43 years as a voting-age American.

My 30-year old daughter just today posted on Facebook about Trump’s “Jesus” meme. About it being blasphemous and heretical. And it is. This child has loved Jesus with all her heart for nearly all her 30 years. If there’s anybody I would guarantee is going to heaven, it’s her. She grew up in rural, conservative, church-going Alabama. She listened to me her entire life talk about how Republicans are best for America. How you can’t be a Christian and be a Democrat.

I would never vote for a Dem but Trump has got to pull it together. Stop it with the unforced errors and unhinged midnight screeds on your social media app. frick! Playing-4D chess, my arse.

re: Kevin McCarthy: Rumors of Swalwell's alleged behavior swirled around Washington for years

Posted by KingOfTheWorld on 4/13/26 at 5:51 pm to ragincajun03

From what I can tell the allegations around Swalwell have more teeth. McCarthy is just trying to get a jab in on Gaetz. Unnecessary. He is irrelevant to the Swalwell story.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been to eight countries but never a “developing” one where it might not be safe to drink the water, lol. My friend will probably have some tips for me.

Glad you survived and didn’t have to go to a hospital there. That could have been dicey.

Maine is a weird one. They’ve gone Democrat in the last nine presidential elections, but it’s often close. Harris beat Trump 52% to 45%. The last Republican to take Maine was Bush the Elder. The governor is a Dem.

But it’s also pretty conservative on 2nd Amendment stuff. Constitutional Carry - meaning no permit required for owning or carrying a firearm - and also has a “no duty to retreat” if inside your home. No magazine capacity limitations or “assault weapon” bans. I think they have a lot of avid outdoorsmen and hunters.

I can confidently say this old tow truck baw voted for Trump.

re: Any thoughts on men who refuse to pay for their wives to stay home with the kids?

Posted by KingOfTheWorld on 4/13/26 at 3:45 pm to StringedInstruments

I’ve been married twice. Neither wife worked except the first one - my four kids’ mom - who went back to teaching when my youngest started first grade. She was a SAHM for about 15 years.

I paid for the houses, cars, food, clothes, vacations for everybody. That’s what I signed up for when I asked them to marry me.

I think about this sometimes. I carry everywhere I go. When I’m training at the range or just imagining scenarios that could happen, I like to think I would step in.
