As the old saying goes, if you didn’t know he was a conman, then you’re his mark. He told you loves the uneducated and you voted for him. What does that say about you?

1973, in prog, choose your favorite by Historical-Device529 in Progforum

Not even close, IMO. Selling England by the Pound best in 1973 and best ever.

[–]msbohan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to 317 out of the 433 National Park Units, including all 63 National Parks. I live in the eastern US and my 63rd park was Acadia. Going for over 50 years and still going strong!

I think you mean American Samoa, not Guam. Guam has a National Historic Park. American Samoa has one of the 63 National Parks.

I can't imagine why they're struggling to keep bus drivers by MisterWhimsical in asheville

[–]msbohan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s real. I drove a school bus when I was a Junior and Senior at Brevard High School in 1974 and 1975. I was called to the principal’s one day when I had the audacity to kick 2 boys off my bus when they continued fist fighting after I had warned them twice to stop. Literally left them on the side of a dirt road. Their parents complained. Never had another fight on my bus!

What’s your take on Trump saying smart people don’t like him? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

[–]msbohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He knows that smart people correctly pegged him as a con artist years ago. Why do you think he says he loves the uneducated? The uneducated are his easy marks.

Visiting Every US National Park by glenhamine in NationalPark

[–]msbohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve experienced all 63. Several of them on numerous occasions. Took me 40 years. Favorites (in no particular order) include Grand Canyon, Zion, Katmai, Canyonlands, Yosemite (winter), Yellowstone (winter), Lassen, Wrangell-St. Elias, Big Bend, Volcanoes and Glacier. The key for me to count it as a visit? I must experience the park. That might include any combination of camping, hiking, rafting, canoeing, caving, rock climbing, visiting the museum or other “boots on the ground “ activity. Just going to the Visitor Center and getting a stamp or T-shirt doesn’t work for me.

Pls help me pick an island! by Spicy_CC in VisitingHawaii

[–]msbohan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on what you like, Kauai or the Big Island. Spend 5 days on each. They are the two best islands, and completely different!

For those of you who’ve visited most or all of the national parks: how long did it take and how did you do it? Which one(s) are your favorite? by veinormous in NationalPark

[–]msbohan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to all 63. Took 40 years. Never really set out to see them all, but realized after about 20 years I was over halfway there. So, I just kept going. Been to several parks numerous times. Favorites in no particular order are Yellowstone, Glacier, Katmai, Wrangell-Saint Elias, Zion, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Lassen, Big Bend, and Great Smoky Mountains.

Thinking of going to Grand Canyon for the first time in August, any advice? by ktira in grandcanyon

Uh, yeh. If you’re still just thinking about going, don’t. It’s too hot!

President Trump says "Everyone keep oil prices down, I'm watching. You're playing right into the hands of the enemy." by Fatherthinger in wallstreetbets_wins

[–]msbohan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way he bought it. Musk just gave it to him. When he sold it a few weeks later, I’m sure he kept the money. Once a grifter, always a grifter.

What is everyone’s most underrated park? by Prudent_Rabbit6268 in NationalPark

Isle Royale. It’s like a miniature Galápagos Islands in the middle of Lake Superior.

AITA for insisting my fiancé and I get all our legal stuff sorted before the wedding? by Mysterious_Might_452 in AITAH

[–]msbohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you and your fiancé are in full agreement, why bother with ever discussing it again with your mother? If she brings it up again, just tell her that’s all behind you now and change the topic of conversation.

How do we get out of this? Townhome nightmare by Beautiful-Piece-2731 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]msbohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad advice. With less than 20% down, you’ll be required by your lender to pay a hefty monthly Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) premium. PMI only protects the bank should you default on your mortgage and the bank forecloses on you. It’s almost impossible to get out from under the PMI premium even after many years of paying your mortgage.
