Wow...haven't heard the name Western Sizzlin' in years. I live in the Mohawk Valley of New York State, and remember when we had a Ponderosa, and a Bonanza. My kids were young when they closed. They're in their 50's now, so that tells you how many years they've been gone. There used to be an Outback Steakhouse about a half-hour from me, but that closed down a couple years before the pandemic. The closest steakhouse to me is Texas Roadhouse, and again, it's a half-hour away. If I'm in that area for a doctor's appointment, and they're open, I usually get take-out.
I'm 74 years old, and don't go around lecturing anyone, least of all, acting like a liberal, and telling people what they should do with their lives, their bodies, or their vote, or try to run some bullshit guilt-trip on them. It's your choice to continue to support the GOP who has repeatedly stabbed you, and me in the back. I won't put up with it anymore. 40+ years is enough. It took me far less time than that to get rid of my philandering husband. The GOP is no different than a domestic abuser. If you like the abuse, and like not knowing if your vote is being cancelled out by a fraudulent ballot, then by all means, keep going back for more. The GOP is dead to me. I will not compromise my values ever again.
Sorry to hear that your family is so shallow, that they base their love and relationships on a simple thing as an unproven vaccine. Cherish your independence while you still have it, and never be willing to compromise your values or beliefs for someone else. You'll regret it in the end.
It's too bad that President Trump is willing to associate with the same people who voted to certify a potato, and sanctioned unlimited voter fraud on January 6th. I'm no longer willing to cast a ballot in these fraudulent times.
Have never been to Las Vegas, and have no reason to go there. I don't drink because of diabetes. For years, I used to visit the local Indian-run casino once a month to meet friends for a buffet lunch, and then we'd play some slots for a few hours. I'd take $100 with me, and when it was gone, I'd leave. I haven't been there in over a year now. I won't go back until they drop their mandatory mask policy. In reality, I enjoyed the buffet dining much more than I did the games, but there will probably never be another buffet restaurant anywhere, ever again.
When I was a kid, my hero was my father. I'm a 74 year old woman now, and he's still my hero. He came here as a little boy from Holland in 1912, only went to 4th grade, but worked his whole life on the New York Central Railroad, eventually becoming a track foreman. He suffered his whole life from Osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) from an injury to his leg when he was small. He never missed a day of work because of it, despite having an open, draining sore that my mother washed, and dressed every evening when he came home from work. He was devoted to my mother and us four kids, and he was a better cook than my mother.
Or Judges, Attorney Generals, and District Attorneys who release violent criminals from jail/prison, but are never held accountable for the blood those same criminals shed, or the lives they take soon after being released.
One thing I've discovered, is that YouTube will delete a dislike on a video if the event hasn't taken place yet. For those, I just wait until the actual video of the event has been posted, and then dislike it. I also go back through all the ones I already disliked, to make sure my down vote hasn't been removed. So far, I haven't found any that have been. Because I have auto-play enabled, I also hit the mute button before accessing any White House videos.
I use every opportunity possible to remind people about this dope's January 6th vote. The worse part is this spineless ass planned to vote against certification, but turned-tail, and voted to support unlimited voter fraud. I hope every Repuke that voted to certify the 2020 election, is taken out by the same voter fraud they approved.
