Interesting one here - he was ripping taxpayers off and finally was
caught, charged, did a spell behind bars and yet he feels it is okay
for him to run in local elections again!! The gall - he feels it is
okay because he has served time, lost his wife and house and is making
every effort to repay the money the jury ordered he should repay.

Am watching that election with interest and have to say, if he were a
she, I bet some nasty things would be said.

I find that truly remarkable, given the in-service health history of
previous US Presidents; stroke, heart attack, one in a wheel chair after
polio, one with altzheimers; vomiting at the state banquet table then
passing out, choking on a pretzel, falling off a bike.

But Bush wasn't wrestling a pretzel during his election campaign.

You can rinse them off in a bowl with water and some white vinegar
if you're worried. This is for exterior dirt and pesticides,
of course. Search online for proportion.

What quantity are you talking... one needn't fill a sink to soak a
couple bunches of grapes, use a bowl/pot. Before bringing in veggies
from my garden I rinse everything in a bucket of water, only to get
most of the dirt off (soil, bird poop, etc.), I use no chemicals...
also removes a lot of creepy crawlies from leafy items. Once indoors
I wash everything carefully before it goes in the fridge, and again
before using. The fools can always easily tell that they've wasted
their dollars buying produce labeled organic when there's no evidence
of creepy crawlies.

Shouldn't be eating at restaurants either... the sign in the restroom
saying all employees must wash means nothing... most can't read
anyway.

Very foolish, grapes are one of the crops most heavily sprayed with
insecticides. Melons should be washed well before slicing. All
produce should be carefully washed, especially those picture perfect
veggies labeled organic... that they are the prettiest indicates
they've received the most chemicals.

She pays her doctor, likely very well, her doctor will say whatever
he/she is told to say. Medicine not being a science it's often very
difficult for MDs to know what illnesses are present... very often
there are underlying causes that they have no way to identify. One in
particular is Lupus... countless thousands of people have had knee
replacements because of joint deterioration thought to be due to
arthritis when in fact it is caused by Lupus. Up until very recently
there were no tests for Lupus but now there are genetic tests that
will indicate Lupus and which type. Lupus is treatable and when
caught early enough joint deterioration is minimal. Knee replacement
does not cure Lupus, the disease is like a parasite and will move into
other parts of the body, typically the liver, kidneys, the heart, and
other vital organs. Anyone with knee problems whose doctor recommends
replacement needs to be tested for Lupus. Naturally the knee/joint
replacement industry is huge bucks so the sergeons and appliance
manufacturers will say nothing. Rheumatologists perfom Lupus testing.
Lupus is inherited, that was the clue to explore genetic testing.

That men loathe going to doctors is an old wive's tale, just as many
if not more women don't go to doctors... an awful lot of women never
see an OB-GYN, not even when prego. Were she not running for the
office of Presidency she'd be bitching about her hangnails. Accordding
to Bubba illery has *often/rarely* been experiencing those same
symptoms for many years, yet pneumonia was never mentioned. I tend to
believe she suffers from something else, she and her doctors may not
know what.... could well be a mental illness brought on by stress.

that's an excellent idea Sheldon, I need a bucket I can rinse out in
the sink and fill with water to soak the fruits and vegetables.
Probably plastic and not a metal bucket since metals react to stuff.

I think I'll just get one of those 5 gallon plastic buckets from Home
Depot, Melons would fit nicely.

Most people's toilets are more sanitary than their kitchen sink...
people flush toilets very often and disinfect fairly regularly...
hardly anyone disinfects their sinks, in fact most people leave dirt
dishes in their sink all the time... to me a kitchen sink with dirty
dishes is no different from an unflushed toilet.

Really? Hardly anyone? How would you even know that? You don't. Another of
your "I don't, so I imagine others don't either." Very telling.

I have to agree with you. In most cases, picture-perfect produce was
grown with plenty of pesticides unless you just get lucky one year.
Truly "Organic" veggies all have bug defects.

I'd rather have Hillary with pneumonia than Trump in perfect health.

"Hypothetically" is a dictionary entry, check it out.

Speculation that she WOULD drop out is just plain STUPID!

Possibly but that was not what I asked.

It's fun to spout opinions though. Never a dream of changing anyone's
opinion.

I use a 5 gallon plastic contractor bucket because I typicaly harvest
more than will fit in a plastic mop bucket, however I have various
sized plastic mop buckets and bowls... my favorite veggie washing
container is one of those plastic supermarket shopping baskets, fill
and hit with the garden hose and then let it drain before carrying it
inside. And no, I didn't steal it, I got a pile of them for free when
Times Square Stores (TSS Seedman's) went out of business... they make
a handy dandy tractor basket.
You can just make out the TSS:

Most smaller tractors don't have a place for carrying tools and stuff
(even large tractors), tying on a market basket solves the problem:

When visiting someone at dinner time and their breakfast dishes are

previous night... like your kitchen sink. . .

I prefaced it by saying 'here' as in foreign country, so the name
