Ok gang, here’s what we should do next: a smart speaker thingie that, when you walk through your door, plays a sitcom-like theme with studio-audience applause. Bonus points for variations on the theme based on your current mood based on which memes you laugh at

FYI- Mitt Romney went to BYU. The LDS church subsidizes BYU's tuition with the mandatory tithing $$$ of its members. Even if you faithfully pay your 10% tithing all your life, there's a big chance u & your children will not get into BYU to benefit from the subsidies you paid for

Sad to see what’s being done to bribe the voters. Biden's student loan forgiveness plan may win Democrats some votes, but it fuels inflation, foots taxpayers with other people’s financial obligations, is unfair to those who paid their own way & creates irresponsible expectations.

Here’s me trying to do a cartwheel for no reason last year at the age of 80. Pathetic. I’ll try again when I’m 85.
