Posted by evil cockroach on 6/8/26 at 2:42 pm to conservativewifeymom

What I’ve seen? Fired? Ok, go ahead and pay it . You quit? I mean, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

re: The fix is in: Mormon exclusion from Christian list has been 'corrected'

Posted by evil cockroach on 6/8/26 at 2:28 pm to conservativewifeymom

I mean, if the definition of “Christian” is “one who worships Jesus Christ” ; then yes Mormonism is a form of Christianity . However, if we are defining Christian as also including the Holy Trinity , ok, that’s different.

Serious question, is a Federal Audit of a States voter rolls legal? I know we are all states rights fans here.

re: Why isn't Oil over $200 a barrel?

Posted by evil cockroach on 6/7/26 at 8:13 am to bad93ex

The market is always forward looking . Trump is doing a good job keeping the oil markets relatively calm by continuing to say , a deals around the corner , We’re working on a deal , a frame work is in place for a deal.

Now, if nothing comes? I can see oil going parabolic when supply truly runs to a danger low level.

re: Why don't High Schools have classes regarding the legal & financial impact of marriage ?

Posted by evil cockroach on 6/6/26 at 7:34 am to Gretzky

I think the Catholic Church , nowadays, does a decent job of getting couples ready for marriage. Wife and I had to do readiness testing and visited a sponsor married couple. That was very helpful as they laid out all the unique things that come in marriage that you don’t think about while you’re dating or engaged.

re: XOM warns oil inventory levels dangerously low

Posted by evil cockroach on 5/29/26 at 7:12 am to bigjoe1

Yet oil is down this morning to $87/bbl.

Man, this feels like Covid. In December 19 and Jan 20 we were hearing a lot about the virus but the markets kept going , even hitting a high in early Feb 20 I think ; then all of a sudden Rug Pull.

Could this be the same thing ? We wake up on a random Wednesday to see oil up $60/bbl to $150 ? Then the next day on to $200? Again, don’t know but it feels like it.

re: Carnival Jubilee or MSC Seascape

Posted by evil cockroach on 5/26/26 at 1:50 pm to jkylejohnson

I've cruised a bunch, and I'm too scared of Carnival. :lol: So.....MSC by default?

Any who, Wife has used Magic and Moore Travel in the past. They have some good cruise guides. My wife worked with this agent, Alicia? I think?, with them. They were pretty helpful in making sure we didn't end up in a scene we didn't like. Like...

quote:
and both look to be very large ships.

I am a fan of the larger ships because there is way more space to spread out. I was thinking "large ship" meant "be on top of people". But, not really. More elbow room.

Again, wife did all the work. I'm just along for the ride.
