A big number of young people did not vote in this election, or any of the others.

...or because they didn't like either of the two primary candidates, they voted for a third party.

A third party president hasn't happened here since George Washington...the last third party candidate to actually even win one lousy state was Wallace in 1968.

Maybe this is the wake up call people needed.

Donald Trump doesn't have small hands. I think you'll find that's fake news. Here is a recent photo of the allegedly small hands:



I am sorry, but if I compare his hands to mine ... uhm   ....   not only are mine a bit larger, compared to my head, my hands have some muscle that was developed over a life of using my hands to do hard work and I have heavy, deep calluses on them to prove it.

Now, I have not done really hard work in over two years, but the evidence of hard work is still there. Just from the muscles alone  ...   in fact I can challenge any man to a grip thing. I never lose these. Well, unless I foolishly challenge one of my uncles who have done hard work their whole lives and never had a break.

I'm not quite sure how to look at Lincoln. The Republicans were definitely NOT the Whigs. They were a fairly new
party, who would have had no hope, had both the prior established parties not imploded. Of course, the results
were not optimal.

Not so much.
Arthritis in my knee joints is why I travel with a cane. I have already had one hip replaced with a prosthetic hip joint. Another surgery is approaching on the other hip. More Physical Therapy is due for my knees before they saw more pieces of me off to be replaced with titanium.

Not everyone in my family has this arthritis shit.

I'm 53 years old and I don't have arthritis.

My hands are big. On a standard piano I can reach 10 notes easy, 11 if I stretch, with one hand.

The skin on my hands is as soft as a baby's skin. No matter what I do it won't thicken up. Even if I get calluses they just flake off after a while.

The US is still a country where the election happens on a work day. Many people can't even get time off to vote. I'd say that is a big problem for a country that thinks of itself as a democracy.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I'm your age and have psoriatic arthritis. I'm lucky in that it isn't destructive, at least not yet, but it's a pain, figuratively and literally.

In my 20s I had arthritis in my wrists (I don't know what type, I know there are many) and took Vioxx for it and it worked like magic before it was taken off the market. Now I have no constant pain but I can't put any weight on my hands or my wrists complain big time.

Thank you, it's ok.

It's weird though, I wouldn't mind some scans or x-rays or something so I know what damage happened in my 20s. And what type of arthritis it was. I don't know of anyone that's had the same problem.

I had problems with my wrists in my early twenties. Pain, couldn't twist or put weight on them. I learned to be careful how I lift things and they've been fine for the past 25+ years.

My mother had bad arthritis well before she was my age and I always thought I'd get it too. Considering some of the stupid things I did as a teenager it's surprising I don't have bad arthritis in my fingers.

Is this the "you know you're getting older..." thread? :zoinks:

There's something wrong with your website Odeon. It's putting my posts in the wrong thread.  :tinfoil:
