It was reported last week that Trump's ex-Executive Assistant Molly Michael told investigators that Trump regularly reused paper in a bid to save trees.

He wrote to-do lists for her on the back of White House notecards used to brief him while in office, rather than recklessly binning them in landfill waste collection. They were only spoiled on one side with sensitive information and classification markings.

Molly Michaels went on to recycle the card through an FBI reclamation scheme.

For me, Switzerland is the only place I can think of. Opportunity, economic, social and health services considered.

So many people were wondering what makes America great and I think this information will give a good answer.

Having said that, I am sure there's more personal thoughts or ideas that wouldn't necessarily be reflected on this article.

Feel free to share what makes you think our one and only US Of A is great (or not). I know that it is the most sought country in the world or we'd have no illegal immigration problems.

"The United States is a highly developed country, and its economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global GDP and is the world's largest by GDP at market exchange rates. By value, the United States is the world's largest importer and second-largest exporter of goods. Although its population is only 4.2% of the world's total, it holds over 30% of the total wealth in the world, the largest share held by any country. Making up more than a third of global military spending, the United States is the foremost military power in the world and a leading political, cultural, and scientific force."

If you value freedom, you'd better like America.

I have discussed...this subject before...but it was a while ago

As some women have stated...it's not the 1950s anymore...women have their own income and property...so why do so many women...still want the man to pay for the meal

a novel idea...would be a woman offering to foot the whole bill for the meal..like so many men have done...throughout history..never complaining...just opening their wallets up...paying the bill and leaving a tip too

What i did with my exe...she paid and the nxt time i paid...fair is fair

Feel free to share your views...on this most interesting of subjects...that effects so many of us

Unfortunately this is a long documentary, so it's unlikely to be watched by those who have fully engaged with Trump's ethos.

It's very well presented, though.

Coming or going... this should be easy, but people usually get it wrong.
Is there a rule in English explaining this? I don't know.
but, I do know COME to or GO away.
I'm GOING to the movies tonight. Right?
We are GOING to the movies tonight. Right?

If I booked some service calls and the boss wants to know what is happening, I would be correct to say the serviceman is GOING to see Mrs. Smith at 2pm

I'm here and you are there. I invite you to my house and I say "Come over"
Let's say, you cannot go out and instead, invite me. You say "Come over."
In both cases the person is GOING to meet the other person.

Expecting you to COME to my house, I call and ask your whereabouts it's incorrect to say "I'm coming to your house" because (from your perspective) you are GOING to my house.

Coming or going... got it?

Next blog I think I'll address the abbreviated spelling of etcetera again.

I am inspired to write this blog because a friend of mine told me that there are indeed known benefits for being a smoker.

He said and I quote: It calms him down and that is a very good benefit.

I respect that.

Note: I lost 3 good friends from this habit and it was very sad, they were all under the age of 55.

Question: Are all smokers enjoy this benefit? Are there other benefits that you know of?

Are there hardcore smokers that you know of who would want to quit but can't?

Thanks all for reading and or comments if any.

For your enjoyment

Is it me, or are all the personal attacks on people here on the blogs reducing the blog activity by people? If so, what a great way of trying to make a meaningful connection with somebody....encourage them not to return.

Sit at home, let loneliness and depression creep in ever so slowly, or get out and be a part of the environment...even if that environment is deemed as not so good?

...like a bar
...like a casino
...like a dance establishment
...like a party


I feel if you don't let those places become you....they can fill in any available gaps one has in their life in the meanwhile.

Of course, given if you are a single person.

Otherwise do what? Go to a movie by yourself? Go to a restaurant by yourself? Go to a cooking class that does not exist in your area by yourself? Go hiking by yourself? Go traveling by yourself?

Don't get me wrong, I do spend time doing things with my family, but sometimes those things don't bring you in the most social situations.

Any ideas?

It’s becoming apparent that love is just an illusion. Love is a feeling and not a tangible substance, love is just signals in the brain, the brain sends out these signals to our loins and these signals make our hearts beat faster and our smiles bigger.

So where do these signals come from, is it seeing someone’s smile, seeing their eyes or perhaps their words?

What or who is behind these signals in our brains?, The concept of love hasn’t been around as long as we think, cavemen didn’t fall in love, they just took a mate for procreation, animal instinct maybe, but animals don’t fall in love, plants don’t fall in love.

Perhaps in the past we were visited by some advanced aliens who planted the seeds of love in us, perhaps they saw our Neanderthal ways a bit too primitive, whoever did this to us will always be a mystery……….Love is just an illusion.

You will argue that love is real and of course you will say that, you have been programmed to think that.

My brain tells me I am in love, but I know it’s not real, it’s just an illusion.

Your thoughts?
