RE: Dessert

Sounds yummy...

Do you think that she should be released?

I agree. It's situations like this that put a damper on my positivity, and make me think that rules and policies are only there to make the ones that 'wield' them look as though they're right. But they're aren't ALWAYS right!

RE: Dessert

These would go nicely with the ice-cream.

Are you a Christmas Grinch or a Christmas Carouser?

Fun Is Now Canceled in Russia as Putin Goes Full Grinch!!



DEFINITE GRINCH!

Do you think that she should be released?

CCat, that might be the remedy, but only if she is willing to go through that again. Besides, there's much that she doesn't remember, so she wouldn't be able to 'defend' herself without a really good lawyer. And what about the cost for a really good lawyer?

Are you in a better mood during Christmas, than at other times of the year?

Nice.

Are you in a better mood during Christmas, than at other times of the year?

I'm sorry to hear that Ooby. I know it could be that way for many people (even I feel like sometimes), but probably not like you. I always try not to stay that way, so thinking positive thoughts, watching funny movies or listening to certain songs may help.

CH, based on what you've said in one of my earlier posts about Christmas, I believe you. You do too much for the holiday to be a grinch.

RE: Dessert

Santa needs to spruce up his order. Maybe try something new, and Christmassy.lol.

RE: Dessert

Hey JT, it's Christmas, so you need to give us something Christmassy. It's yummy-looking, but...that's just an any-ole-day kinda dessert.

"It's that time of year when the world falls in love..."

I wasn't feeling particularly 'perky' for a bit, but when I heard this song, it made me feel better. Frank Sinatra's gorgeous voice just cut through my sulking. But then, many good Christmas songs can do that... put me in a better mood.

Take a listen:

Have you ever been on a "mock" date?

You don't necessarily HAVE TO PAY; if you could get a friend or acquaintance that you trust to be that person, then you should be able to get the job done. As for getting noticed, perhaps that issue could be addressed during the mock date, so that you don't have to go to Tomboy Outback on your own (next time).

Do you think that she should be released?

Dass, Carter’s sister, said she worries daily that her sister won’t make it out of prison alive. In recent years, both of their parents and one of their sisters have died. Carter never got to say goodbye. “I just want to be able to take care of her,” said Debra Dass, Carter’s sister. “I can never figure out why, with all her health problems, they think she’s a danger to society. She’s in a wheelchair and can barely take care of herself. She deserves to have a few good years.”

“Her drive to come home is strong,” said Lilli Paratore, her attorney with UnCommon Law. But she’s been in and out of the hospital and struggling to cope. Carter has a fourth hearing scheduled this Thursday, but contracted Covid two weeks prior, and at one point was so ill, Dass could barely understand what she was saying on the phone.

Dass said she remains proud of her sister’s ability to take care of the women around her in the prison, and when she’s been denied parole, Carter tries to remain positive and lean into her faith.

Do you think that she should be released?

I disagree with keeping her "locked up"; she would be better off receiving personal care.
Her family would ensure that she remains "stable", and happy.

Do you think that she should be released?

Good point about the cost of her being in a Nursing home, TM. And also, her sister is offering to take care of her, so that's probably best.

Do you think that she should be released?

That's a good idea CH

Do you think that she should be released?

Part of the Article states that,

"The number of older Americans in prison has surged in recent decades, in part due to harsh sentencing laws. More than 203,000 people are now serving life sentences in the US, and 61,000 of them (30%) are 55 and older. Some experts estimate that by 2030, there could be 200,000 elderly dementia patients imprisoned in the US.

Roughly 11,700 people in California prisons are 60 years and older. They remain incarcerated despite widespread evidence that people “age out of crime” and that when lifers do get released, they rarely reoffend (some data suggests fewer than 1% commit a new crime against a person). More than one-third of people in California prisons are serving life sentences, one of the highest rates in the US."


Is it that the authorities feel, that is their diminished capacity, they may be a burden upon society? Hence their reason for denying these persons some freedom.

Do you think that she should be released?

Huh?

Do you think that she should be released?

Thanks for your comment TM. My thoughts are similar, but I don't why the authorities find it so easy to deny her. Perhaps I'm missing something...

RE: A thought for Christmas.

Have a wonderful Christmas too, TM.

Have you ever been on a "mock" date?

For example, not knowing how to 'chill' might be a person's problem when he/she is on a first date. Talking too much or too fast, being too tense or too silent could be an issue, and that could be revealed during a mock date.

RE: Christmas Turkey

Looks yummy. That'll probably last way past Christmas, if I don't share

RE: In the Winter, my home’s thermostat is always set at and reads 77 F/ 25 C and I’m still freezing !

Gal, what you need is natural warmth. A tropical vacation would end all your thermostat worries so...........................Come on down!

RE: A thought for Christmas.

Poignant, but perfect.

RE: Do you fancy anyone on CS...?

Yes... I fancy me, for starters

Have you ever been on a "mock" date?

This is something that I'd be willing to do, because I believe it could be helpful. We don't all see or hear ourselves in the way that others do, and sometimes we could make the mistake of overlooking some of the things which may detract from our personality during such interactions. Just sayin'...

If you could be a spy in the inner circle of any 1 of these persons ....

"Sorry OP, you have the best thread today and now."

smh...

No apology needed, Gal.
