If women want something to protest, why don't they protest Daylight Saving Time?

As popular as graffiti is in our society, there’s still plenty of tattoo regret. Tattoo removal is a big business. It’s expensive and painful and it never looks the same as a never-tattooed patch.

I dreamt that I was back doing one of my old jobs. Would you call that a dream or nightmare? Maybe even wishful thinking.

I haven't actually wondered what Psoriasis is like, but now I know from first hand experience.

In world first, Iceland to require firms to prove equal pay

LONDON - Iceland will be the first country in the world to make employers prove they offer equal pay regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or nationality, the Nordic nation's government said Wednesday - International Women's Day.
The government said it will introduce legislation to parliament this month, requiring all employers with more than 25 staff to obtain certification to prove they give equal pay for work of equal value.
While other countries, and the U.S. state of Minnesota, have equal-salary certificate policies, Iceland is thought to be the first to make it mandatory for both private and public firms.
Equality and Social Affairs Minister Thorsteinn Viglundsson said “the time is right to do something radical about this issue.”
“Equal rights are human rights,” he said. “We need to make sure that men and women enjoy equal opportunity in the workplace. It is our responsibility to take every measure to achieve that.”
Iceland has been ranked the best country in the world for gender equality by the World Economic Forum, but Icelandic women still earn, on average, 14 to 18 per cent less than men.
In October thousands of Icelandic women left work at 2:38 p.m. and demonstrated outside parliament to protest the gender pay gap. Women's rights groups calculate that after that time each day, women are working for free.
The new legislation is expected to be approved by Iceland's parliament because it has support from both government and opposition lawmakers. The government hopes to implement it by 2020.
Viglundsson said some people had argued the law imposes unneeded bureaucracy on firms, and is not necessary because the pay gap is closing.
"It is a burden to put on companies to have to comply with a law like this,” he acknowledged. “But we put such burdens on companies all the time when it comes to auditing your annual accounts or turning in your tax report.

These people who are protesting seem to be rather weak-minded for they are absolutely clueless that they are the pawns of the establishment trying so desperately to stop Trump from reforming their little club. They may claim to hate the special interests, yet the special interests are the very ones who are supporting and funding these protests.

The political elite are hiding in the shadows funding this entire movement. Obama, meanwhile, will reenter politics and get involved in rigging the voting lines so the Democrats can win back Congress.

These people protesting are egged on by the elites in the shadows and they are using this immigration issue to paint Trump as racist because the people protesting are far to naive to comprehend what is going on in the international stage. The real battle is freedom and reforming the powers-that-be, but these protesters cannot see the agenda behind the curtain. They have swallowed the bait, hock-line-and-sinker and are now simply the pawns of the elite hiding in the shadows.

You hear all that talk about building a wall and all the trouble its causing,

well, Canada is also building a wall with the U.S. and I don't think there will be any protests. If there is opposition, it will be because its not being built fast enough. Labor will be free and there will probably be too many volunteers. We are going to build our wall with marijuana plants and the Americans will rush to pay for it. It will be cheaper than paying the cartels.

Just got this e-mail Good morning,its very urgent please i need you to reply me back because God have directed me to you,

When I met my wife, I told her I could speak four languages. She soon realized that all I could do was order two beer in four languages

Last evening I was watching the evening news

      and I came to the conclusion that the name of the show should be changed to "The Side Effects Half-Hour."  I am of course referring to ads on the show. All the ads are for drugs and at the end of each ad is a list of side effects, which at some times can be more scary than the news. I noticed that after 15 minutes the show goes to one ad per news item. The scariest ad I ever saw was the one that said the cure could cause death. It would certainly cure all your problems. Makes you wonder.

I'll wake up tomorrow morning, and my first thought will be. "I probably didn't win the Lottery." Now I'm thinking that I should write a post for tomorrow. "Yep, I was right.'

David Freiman -  lives in New York City

It is terrible. Only tourists do this. And young New Yorkers may try this once if they don’t listen to reason by their friends.

People start arriving around 5 pm for a midnight ball drop. I’m not sure what time the live entertainment starts.

You are herded into pens by the NYPD. You have to stay where they put you for the entire time. If you leave the pen, you will not be permitted to return. You will be herded into a new pen if you plan to stay and will be separated from your friends.

You can not block the sidewalks.

Loyal dog protects injured friend from passing train

A remarkable video of a dog protecting his injured companion stuck on a railway track as a train barrels overtop of them has gained global attention since it was posted online over the holidays.
The dogs were spotted huddled on the train tracks on Christmas Day in the Ukrainian community of Uzhhorod by Denis Malafeev, who posted the footage to Facebook.
One of the canines in the video appears to be injured and unable to stand, and the other dog stands guard beside her. When a train rushes toward the dogs, the male dog flattens down beside his friend and pushes her head down to shield her from the locomotive overhead.
When the train finally passes, the dogs appear to be uninjured.
The astounding footage has since been viewed more than one million times and has been picked up by media outlets across the globe.
It was challenging to help the injured dog because its companion attempted to defend her from anyone getting too close, Malafeev wrote in the Facebook post.
The dogs were eventually taken to safety and reportedly adopted to a new family, which has named them Panda and Lucy.
