  From reddit...How old were you when you became a publisher?

  by Biahi in

  2. experiences

  i was six, not given any choice.

  i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.

  i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

  I was 5. My mother had a return visit (back call) on her magazine route who was an older nice lady and she had me present the magazines to the woman.

  Has anyone taken the pulse of RBG lately? How long could they keep her on life support?

  @DoC ...
  

  She's not going anywhere soon, at least until next year. Even if she keeled over in the next couple months, there would be no way that McConnell could go through the whole process of getting a new justice approved.

  They pulled that trick on Obama when there was still a year left in his term. With only a few months and current political climate, it would not happen unless Trump wins in November.

  Even if Trump wins, the Senate could go to the Dems and there is no way in hell they would vote for a very conservative Trumper.

  We can do it for you.

  We just need your Social Security Number, mother's maiden name, your favorite pets name, where you first went to school and driver's license number.

  That's all. Pretty simple. PayPal is accepted. In fact for a limited time, if you use the promo code, you can have a second password changed, just pay a separate fee.

  i have a niece who is trying to get pregnant.

  she was telling me her husband had to go to a room with porn in it and masturbate into a cup to get tested.

  i never thought of this before but but how would a jw handle this.

  Perhaps an interesting topic in a future Young People Ask article.

  Are you suggesting that claiming to "ace" a dementia test and being able to successfully tell an elephant from a camel might not reassure undecided voters of your mental acuity?

  @sir82 ...

  Sadly, with a country of 330,000,000 people, we are down to these two choices for our next "leader".

  Biden needs time to concentrate on animal figures and Trump asks whether Finland is part of Russia.

  Politics aside, in recent memory, if it were Obama, Romney, Bush the Younger, Al Gore, Clinton, Bush the Elder, Reagan, whoever. You may not always agree with their politics but at least there was a measure of intelligence and sanity. (I'm giving Bush the Younger the benefit of the doubt in this comment).

  Why would a DF or DA person want to sit in on one of those zoom meetings?

  @Overrated ....

  Quick answer: To get reinstated.

  Much easier for a DF due to "weakness" ... for a DA, a much tougher road back.
  

  Remember, from their standpoint, getting DF'd is like them kicking you in the ass. Doing the DA thing is like you kicking them in the ass. The DA thing makes their asses sore and takes more time to heal.

  The best thing that Trump should have towards his reelection is Biden. But so far, Biden's handlers are keeping him locked down and out of public view.

  @DesiriousOfChange ...

  Very true. As Mark Twain once said, "better to be thought of as a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

  When dealing with two fools, Biden's handlers should keep him in the basement. Just let Trump talk and tweet.

  I could see Biden's handlers trying to skip any debates. Why debate with an arrogant baffoon? What is there to win?

  Stay in the basement, take your medication, eat enough high fiber foods to stay regular, and keep your mouth shut.

  This has hit close to home here.

  My wife insists on me not getting close to her. When she gets "frisky," for social distance purposes, I had to attach a vibrating device to a 6 foot stick and wear a mask.

  The government approved N95 leather masks work really well.

  Batshit crazy goes nowhere near describing this lot ?

  @smiddy3

  I am "in" but am smart enough to know that yes, we are batshit crazy. And when talking to some, it's as if we all know it.

  Let me add Benny Hill to my list. And Lost in Space.

  My problem with Batman, was that it was on in our area two nights a week, Wed and Thur.

  I saw the first part of the show, Wed., but we had our meeting on Thur. and unless I was sick or it was Circuit Assembly week, I never saw how Batman and Robin got out of the life-threatening situation they were in.
