Hey Donnie, you don't sell people down the tubes.

You sell them down the river.

Yeah, I know he doesn't know the difference and that this doesn't really matter, but it just struck me as a fitting capper for this, well hell, I don't know what to call it.

If you can afford it, go make a donation right now.

I had every intention of making one during the debate, and I've been so mesmerized that I almost forgot. If you can afford it, don't forget!

Just watched a replay of Trump's child care word salad.

It was precisely like a kid giving a report on a book he hasn't read.

Edited to say that I'm listening to Morning Joe right now saying the same thing. I swear I thought of it without hearing anything anybody else had to say. All I had seen at the point that I posted this was the clip.

I am getting sick and tired of Trump's utterances being reported as if

He is sane and trustworthy.

What set me off in particular was the reporting that he is supporting Florida's marijuana legalization, if it is done "correctly," according to him.

The only thing in the world that particular statement means is that he hopes it will get him votes.

Same for his flip-flopping on abortion. The only thing it means is he is trying to get votes.

What he will actually do, if, God forbid, he gets elected or selected, is whatever his foreign and domestic handlers want.

Fort Bend ISD gives superintendent sole power to pull books from libraries.

Totally irrelevant observation regarding Tara Setmayer.

The Seneca Project person I was just watching on MSNBC.

Has anybody else noticed how much she looks like Madeline Kahn?

It's me again, the cataract question person, with a question about elective oophorectomy

Or having your ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed to eliminate the possibility of cancer. There, anyway.

I'm considering it, and I wonder if anyone else here has had it done.

The pros are that it eliminates the possibility of cancer there, and cancer there gives no symptoms until it's pretty advanced. There is no, repeat no, useful test for ovarian cancer. The cons are, that it's surgery, of course, and that it doesn't appear either Medicare or Tricare for life will pay for it. There's also the con of losing a body part, although I'm assured that at my age, 72, my ovaries are doing absolutely nothing. I'm not completely convinced of that, but that is what I am told. I know they don't produce eggs, of course, but I just have this sneaking suspicion they may be making a small contribution to something, totally without any actual evidence.

So as with cataract surgery per my previous question, I'm wondering if anybody has had this done, what it cost, and what you thought of it.

The reason I'm even considering it is that my new gynecologist wanted me to have the BRCA test since all my mom's sisters had some kind of female cancer, although my mother did not. The test came back clean, and I thought that was that, but she's still kind of pushing it, and the more I picture those things sitting there that will not show any symptoms if something does go wrong until it's gone very far wrong, the more I think about it.

Thanks.

Edited to throw in a piece of information that was rather hard to find. I looked for a while before I made this post, and I just now hit on the correct search terms, apparently. The cost I'd be looking at would be about $15,000, if I can trust the web search.

Edited again to add that the above I think now is just the cost for the surgeon. So I'm guessing I could double or triple that. That's a lot of money, but this new gynecologist has got me thinking about these things sitting there that won't show any symptoms until things are very badly wrong

Watching Walz without the sound on, responding to attacks on his military service

According to chyron.

Hoo boy. I can't tell if he's got his teacher face on or his sergeant major face on- they look so much alike.

He's letting somebody have it with both barrels, that's for sure.
