Tomorrow’s the day…

 

Tomorrow is the perfect chance to be naughty.  Yes, it’s April Fools' Day tomorrow, here in the U.S.  In case you’ve never heard of it (unlikely, unless you live a sheltered life, far, far away), it’s the day we here in the U.S. play an innocent prank on an unsuspecting victim.  I get my husband every year!  Poor thing (ha-ha).

I’ve used the “Guess what, the car has a flat tire” more than once.  He, of course, goes running to the car to check it out, as I follow him and meet him with a big grin when he turns around, looking confused.  He immediately knows the date.  Feeling kind of foolish (that's the goal) he then tries to get me back the rest of the day, but it never works.

Then, there was my “OMG, there are two kittens on the front porch!” prank.  Well, needless to say, I’ve done many such silly pranks on that day. 😈

So, here are the fun questions:

  • Have you ever pulled April Fools' jokes on anyone?  If yes, what were they?
  • Have you ever had anyone pull an April Fools' joke on you?  Tell us about it.
  • Do you plan a joke for tomorrow?  If so, what is it?  Give us some suggestions for possible jokes.

Btw, we had a low tire about two months ago, and my husband filled it with air and said it looked okay, nothing obvious.  But it might be time for me to pull the “flat tire” joke again.  Conditions seem right for his picking!! 😁

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
