My life generates this lack of order or predictability as a function of my activities of daily living.

This gradual decline into disorder has been the subject of much introspection on my part.

I have a strong Unix background which raises it's ugly head frequently in that Microsoft hellhole I call work.

While the two top developers there do Unix the so-called "sysadmins" (of which I am technically and officially but not spiritually one) do not and this pretty much infuses my life with a need to pursue microsoft technologies instead of tossing them into the rubbish bin where they belong.

So that environment of cgi must make way for the nothing which microsnot calls ".net" and I personally call a illogical convoluted ridiculous waste of time.
 

There is news in the threads regarding those respiratory consequences some who vape in lieu of or addition to smoking tobacco products are experiencing.

The portends of these are foreboding from a standpoint of general respiratory health.

Of late, some two dozen individuals have been hospitalized with breathing difficulties secondary to vaping and their physicians are at a loss as to the specific causality.

A preponderance of these persons are young adults and there is incomplete data regarding the "pod" (dose) types but the FDA is also pushing that 44 of these be removed from stores due to illegal sales. Lung infections and seizure disorders are two of the primary manifestations of the diseases being encountered in those who participate in vaping and there were no "real" studies done on the possibility for issues with vaping prior to that time the devices and pods which supply them were first sold.

My personal observations include people inhaling then exhaling thick plumes of vapor from these devices and I have often felt that even in the absence of tar, these "vapers" were receiving massive doses of nicotine and other residues which may be present in the pod contents.

When I stopped smoking there were no vaping products because they would not be available for decades. It is sobering that I too might have decided these were suitable cigarette substitutes and joined in with these people I now regard as having a low level of insight into personal health habits and the possibility for consequences beyond their control and desires for the stimulus barrier these products may provide.

Suffice it to say that my addictive personality was never set to task having to deal with these products and there by the grace of The Almighty go I.
 

This Marianne Deborah Williamson has a following. She has been in the public eye for a long time now. I have always viewed her as some new age weirdo out to market herself and sell books and such. I find her advice to be mostly a lot of lovey dovey drivel and I have questioned her sincerity a number of times over the years when I found her in the threads.

She is presently a democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States, a position for which I feel she is unqualified.

IMHO she touts a lot of that socialist aspect which disqualifies her from both chief executive and commander in chief.

Her platform is on her candidacy web site and that too contains elements which totally disqualify her from heading the constitutional part of our nation.

I feel that the military industrial complex and that agenda of the deep state shadow government would wrap her around their fingers as they did the brigand Obama, the two traitor Bush predecessors, and the Clinton robber crooks.

She has a number of touchy feely aspects which sound good to many but are never going to happen ... like reparations. When the Egyptians pay reparations to the Jews it will be time for the United States to pay reparations to the ancestors of past slaves.

It's a one sided street anyway.

She thinks she can traverse the cravasse from author/lecturer/activist to supreme allied commander with her new age positions on real time matters of state.

She has a failed candidate history and really nothing to offer in the form of real leadership which is what we need and finally elected into the White House after repeated episodic stupidity, subterfuge, and profiteering by multiple administrations running the show.

The left can lie about Mr Trump all they want. He has been a refreshing change from the crooks and stupidity of the past administrations and I still will vote for him in 2020. I don't believe Ms Williamson has a chance. We'll see how things go and just how crazy the electorate is anymore.
