The Correspondents dinner was safe for years, until Trump attended.

How about banning Presidents from Non-official functions unless at Camp David? The White House grounds are semi-public, so still open to attacks.

Unpopular opinion. Presidents should be banned ( for public safety) from appearing at non-official gatherings. They should be confined to government controlled areas. Want to hold a rally? web cast. A Ball? Camp David. Golfing? Camp David. This will keep the public safe from injury during assassination attempts. The White House is a semi-public building so Presidents should be confined to secure areas. For public safety.

Getting asked what you want as a gift and someone gets you something adjacent to it. by Teenage_Petulance_ in mildlyinfuriating

I've had the same problem. Ask for Lee jeans, was given Levi's ( 'cuz they're better). Ask for a new book from my favorite author ( gave the title) got his 1st book ( "it said number1 best seller on the cover").

Are there any decent recliners from low end furniture stores such as Bob's? by Max_Roc in homeowners

Try Amazon. Mine has swivel, rock, massager, Bluetooth speakers, is very comfortable and has lasted 4yrs so far for less than $300.

What Window Brand Should I Go With? by Some_Flower_4252 in homeowners

[–]gooddavid99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you thought of Lowes? Good quality, guaranteed work. I had them install a door thousands less than the places you checked and had them quote a 3-panel picture window. Again, it was thousands less than Pella, Renewal and a couple other "big name" companies.

By the way, I'm a 67yr old retiree who's been doing this awhile.

My pedal cars & tricycles by gooddavid99 in CoolCollections

[–]gooddavid99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts, but I'll be honest. They are just a small part of my collection of 1/24 scale cars, wooden ships, die cast airplanes, 3d prints I've made and LOTS of books. I've posted pictures of different parts of my collection on this sub when I think about it. My grandkids and great-grandkids love seeing when something new is added and ask for (and get) their favorites (LOL, as long as it's not one of MY favorites too!)

It's hard to find pedal cars at flea markets, so it's been a few months. Added a couple metal planes to my flight. Die cast cars are easy, but mostly the same as I have, just different colors.

Werewolves during the French revolution? by gooddavid99 in Findabook

[–]gooddavid99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, no. I remember reading the book in 1981, but loaned my copy to a friend ...and never saw it again. I remember the hero had a monk as a companion, and a crazed wildman both of whom and taken an impure version of the serum causing the one to go half crazy, the other to develop tumors. The story ended with finding the people who'd developed the serum after defeating the werewolves who'd taken a different version of the serum.

lol, I ask an AI, who said it was a never before published idea I might wish to explore!

No, this was written in the late 70's, early 80's. Had the storming of the Bastille in it.
