A Republican Party plan to jack up #COVID-19 rates then place the blame on POTUS and The Democrats is now apparently backfiring.

American voters are pointing fingers and placing the real blame on those who are still unvaccinated, including people who follow the low-life liars and anyone who still believes all those crazy Trump conspiracy theories as well as the right-wing wacko media pundits, who have been spreading misinformation.

SAY BYE, bye, and never buy grass again: Inspiring Ideas for a "No Mow" Backyard. There are 780 genera and 12,000 species.

Americans love lawns but let's face it: Nice yards take time.

Just think about all the weekend hours you've spent cutting, watering, fertilizing, and weeding for that elusive green grass. In fact, I have friends and neighbors who turned their back-yard into a brick patio. Their front is a cactus rock garden. They too said no to grass.

Kissing was like cooking, everyone could do it, but only some made it delicious. If you practice you could become a big pastry chef.

Last night, I listened, watched, and learned from two lovely ladies who were communicating over #WeChat about applying makeup.

They are both successful, professional, and well-educated mothers in the prime of their lives. One who is my wife has a finance degree and the other, her younger sister holds advanced degrees in public health. The video conversation was also about the time-consuming and expenses that are required in purchasing and storing cosmetics.

This weekend I received yet another residual check for my participation in the major motion picture, BULWORTH.
