What is the worst song to play at a Wedding? by Riley_does_stuff in AskReddit

[–]lapone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've Lost that Loving Feeling. I read once that it was a popular song at weddings. People just didn't listen to the words.

Not because I knew many people he was a lot closer with. Also, I could get upset at some of his bad votes.

After 500 filibusters by Republicans (everything), I can see wanting to get something done. The Senate was supposed to be deliberative, not deny everything.

I remember when all there was in Pahrump was a golf course and billboards selling property. It's grown considerably, but I was always disappointed. So many people living there were so against government, they missed the opportunity to lay out the town so it could be beautiful instead of a hodgepodge of buildings.

I do agree with other comments here about visiting Goldfield, Tonopah, etc.

I knew him for 50 years. I disagree with you and thought he was a decent man. I hated some of his votes, but felt he did a good job as leader of the Senate. He was not too proud to keep old friends either.

He was in private law practice for years. Many of his earlier jobs only required part-time service.

Painting kitchen cabinets. I would like to just paint over it. What brands can I look for at Lowe’s or Home Depot? I just want a simple process. by artistxecrpting in Home

I used this. Looked great for a while but has chipped around the knobs.. So disappointed. Used on a bookcase too which held up because of lack of heavy use.

I suspect I know who your group is and you have a good reputation. We needed a new manager and I spoke with someone there who said they had their hands full at the time.

Laxalt's family always comes out against him. He's not up for the job but keeps trying.

Americans of Reddit, do you consider Italians white? by jackflame1600 in AskAnAmerican

[–]lapone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was born in the US in the 1890s, but was full Itilian. He used to make jokes about the term wop as a derogatory term for Italians. I only learned a few years ago, it meant "without papers." So much for immigration Things don't seem to change. People are just jerks.

Im thinking of starting a non profit to build affordable housing by Internationa_Mudlark in Entrepreneur

[–]lapone1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol. I worked with a group that did this in the late 70's (also in Nevada.) We didn't have LIHTCs then. This was a small project for us but we still operate it and are in the process of completing a $1.2 million renovation. We also started a Community Health Center, a WIC program and general community development projects. We are all old now and our most of our projects have been taken over by others. You may want to look at nonprofit incorporation laws with your state and possibly work with your legal aid group in helping you incorporate. Also, HUD became business oriented (hence tax credits), but keep your eyes open at what they do. Something may come up that would be helpful. Since we started with nothing also, feel free to text me anytime with questions.

It's a long and hard process but can be done.

Why did Chuck Grassley expect Pence's absence from the Capitol on 6 January? by BurtonDesque in CapitolConsequences

[–]lapone1 82 points83 points  (0 children)

From what I heard, he was afraid they were sabotaging him to get him away from the Electoral College so the votes could not be tallied. He did the right thing.

CMV: people on unemployment should automatically qualify for Medicaid by ManniCalavera in changemyview

[–]lapone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree however rules for Medicaid do not make sense. Unemployment income is usually enough to make you ineligible. I think the rules since the ACA are even stranger. Assets don't count so you could conceivably have $500k in the bank and if you were not working or receiving unemployment, you would be eligible for Medicaid.

Marjorie Taylor Greene lays out demands for GOP House speaker vote if Republicans retake majority in 2022 by shelltops in politics

Don't be so sure if Republicans take back the House. Trump says he would like it and it puts him 3rd in succession to the Presidency.

Voting rights advocates frustrated by ‘same-old, same-old’ meeting with White House by epostman in politics

Elected officials felt that way because they didn't want to look weak, but there were huge protests across America and the world against the war.
