In what way

You’re rather insulting. I shared my opinion!!! It seems you don’t like it. That’s cool. I don’t really care. But do you really need to call me names, insult my intelligence. No!!!! You don’t. But that seems to be the Way of the love and acceptance side.

God bless ya. Have a nice day

To summarize the linked conversation (linked below):
1) uneksia: There was an ongoing investigation that was closed in 2019
2) I wrote: If uneksia's statement is complete then the Biden administration could have released the files.
3) dingus dufus: Her statement is a complete statement.
4) heartsquare: Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal held up the files during Biden's term.

So, by 1, 2 & 3 the Epstein files could be released; by 4, they could not be.

For those wishing to see the actual quoted text.

Is an investigation and an appeal process the same thing?

But I was only seeing how long I could string this inane accounting along. Jiggle the keys all you want . .

No, that conversation is OBE because the bill has passed the congress and will be signed into law soon.

Here is The Epstein files: What do we know about what could be included?

The summary of information to be released (and it is just a summary) it too long to include here. However, all y'all will be interested in these parts, near the end:

And according to the article linked above, item four (from previous conversation) was correct:

I like this idea. I wouldn’t remove anyone from sign up. But I can send a 30 day reminder out. ❤️

Do you hold your "greatest president since Washington" to the same standards as you do to letterboxers? Care to guess who the people are that he most frequently calls "low IQ" tend to be? It is an obvious pattern. It's a dog whistle for certain people. The "Quiet, Piggy" to a female reporter on Air Force One a couple of days ago was also a nice change of pace from the person who represents America.

Should we just follow the example he sets? Other than the lying, corruption, grifting, womanizing . . .

(Nods) Unless it’s specifically provided with the stamp.

Here's your pseudo-semi-annual reminder to check your letterboxing clue external links for accuracy.

Google drive, personal websites, shutterfly, and others can change their link script and then your links point to a dead zone of internet. Your boxes aren't found. And your stamps turn to mush!

Also, if you use Google Drive, make sure your links work for others. Open a browser in incognito mode and try following your google links. If you don't get the file (or the ask for permission google section) then you need to change your file settings.

Best,
Curtis!

Hello, and welcome!

Oof. How would I star rate Fantasticland? I hesitate to give rating, just as I don't rate letterboxes--my opinions switch all the time!!

About half way through the book and I am still recommending it to folks. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a solid 3.75, mostly because I am waiting for it to go awry.

I plan on keeping this one, and I have limited book space, if that helps.

The party of love and acceptance

God bless ya little heart

TY for this great topic!

Prior read - a fast-paced book: The Stolen Queen

Current read - LOVING The Comfort of Crows

Up next for me: The Alice Network

When all else fails. Not surprised

I have to step in and address this. I get so tired of the Right thinking they score points with this little 'Gotcha". The phrase "party of love and acceptance" is used by Republicans in a sarcastic way to highlight perceived hypocrisy or conditional inclusivity within the party. Democrats don't go around spouting this.

There is no hypocrisy. We do believe in inclusivity but that doesn't make us doormats and it certainly doesn't mean that we ignore our common sense. Just as there is free speech and yet there are many things that are prohibited (child pornography, hate speech, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites lawlessness and of course yelling fire in a crowded theater). So, too, can we be 'inclusive' without having to accept every vile person that comes along.

We do believe in love, acceptance and inclusion. But we are not required to include bigots, xenophobes, racists, Nazis, people who are trying to tear down our country while calling themselves patriots, child pornographers, etc.

So please, stop the childish and disingenuous taunt. It's silly and ridiculous.

By the way, you never answered my question; what are all of the great things Trump has done?

Kudos on a really great response. "The Paradox of Tolerance" concept seems to be lost on some folks.

Replying to bump this - I just finished a freehand quickie carve for this and it’s pretty silly so please come see it!

Similar to your NOT FOR EVERYONE!!

I just finished Tender is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. In the aftermath of a virulent disease that has caused the collapse of most of the mammal food species, the world has adapted to a form of 'socially acceptable' cannibalism. This is like "What if Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal was a manifesto, not pointed satire. It was well thought out by someone who really understood the slaughterhouse business. It was grim, it was relentless, it was skeevy feeling, but it was really interesting and a quick read.

Currently reading: Robotech - The Macross Saga: Battlecry by Jack McKinney. The novelization of the 1980s anime (and roleplaying game!) where a squabbling, fractious Earth is united by the appearance of advanced alien technology, signaling that they are not alone in the universe and need to band to together to defend themselves when those aliens come looking for their lost tech.

Just finished “The Dinner” by Herman Koch - two couples meet for dinner to discuss a horrific crime committed by their teenage sons.

Listening to essays by Jonathan Franzen - “The End of the End of the Earth”.

I started letterboxing very near to Westwood, in Montclair. But I am upstate NY now. If your friend is a hiker, have them look up boxes by Wingfoot, he has quite a few boxes in northern NJ, say from Parsippany and north.

Yeah, but is he going to be a no-show? That's the question!

Howdy! I'm new here. Attempted to find a letterbox but no luck. I'll try again on a cooler day.

Yes-there are thousands out there! Be sure to read the finders' notes on the box you are searching for aspeople will remark on any landscape changes or their experiences finding the box, etc. Welcome to the hobby, and Happy Trails!😊🎻

What area are you in? It's helpful to find other letterboxers near you, who can be very helpful to get you started. Welcome, and enjoy!!

Thank you , for your opinion,

You have yourself a wonderful day,,,, god bless ya

Be fruitful and multiply all by yerself
Have a wonderful day!

That's not really how any of this works.... ;o)

I’m in the Lewiston/Auburn area!
