      Goodluck. Fraulein has gone deep into this derailment. Getting her to stop baiting others down the path will be hard to do.

          Not too long ago I read an article about the things that the rest of the world finds odd about the U.S. and straight pearly white teeth and big smiles was one of those things. That said you are the very first foreigner to say that.

            What's with people in other countries scowling at the camera like they wish death on the photographer?

              I think it was Family Guy that made fun of the fact that a group of black men can be laughing and smiling but as soon as a camera gets pulled out then they start scowling and trying to look tough and mean.

                    I read an article where a group of Americans complained that a hotel clerk in Finland was mean to them because she wouldn't return their smiles. The management brought the two together and explained to the Americans that Finns (or Europeans in general) don't readily smile unless they have a reason. The way Americans smile at each other appears oafish to them. When the clerk heard the complaint she laughed and assured the Americans she wasn't snarling at them. Just a regional difference, I guess.

                    In my experience (despite the mask fiasco), I smile at everyone I pass when appropriate. A smile only follows eye contact anyway. If someone doesn't feel comfortable with the smiling thing, they don't make eye contact. Smiling is just a way of non-verbally saying to a stranger that you don't pose a threat.

                      My pastor told a story about a fellow pastor who was meeting with American Indians. In their culture, it is apparently considered offensive to close your eyes and bow your head when you pray, but when the pastor was praying with the chief, he followed force of habit and proceeded with closed eyes and bowed head. It seems the chief was so offended by this sign of disrespect that he slapped the pastor. My comment: "I bet he opened his eyes then!"

                      • Two Republican senators have said it is unlikely they will vote for Barrett. In the last 24 hours, three additional Republican senators have tested positive for COVID. It is becoming unlikely that the Republicans will have sufficient votes to confirm Barrett if they immediately proceed with the confirmation process as they have planned.

                          Perhaps the house should take up the same rule the house has, and allow voting by Proxy, then those sick with covid can still vote. If it's good enough for Pelosi, it should be good enough for Schumer.

                          • With three senators infected (some confusion as to whether Rick Scott also is positive) if the democrats don't show up there aren't even enough senators to form a quorum and open the senate for business (you need 51 and the VP can't break a tie). That the Barrett announcement event will be what prevents her from getting confirmed before the election is absolutely insane.

                                I would expect Republican senators who have tested positive to still show up to vote. Probably without wearing masks.
