QuoteMerkel's CDU unseats ruling SPD in crucial German state election
Merkel's party has beaten out its rival Social Democrats from their stronghold in North Rhine-Westphalia, projections showed. NRW is seen as a test of national mood ahead of Germany's national election in September.

So that pretty much means that Merkel will win the federal election in September easily and will be chancellor for another four years. It's just the question who'll be her coalition partner.

I went to Wally World and due to the fluids around my lungs, I had to use a store scooter.

I posted this just for Seedy.

I am just glad they are in the sporting goods section.

So, I have (yet another) breakup, and all the ex-FWB types start blowing up my phone.  Unreal.  It's like there was a psychic disorder in the realm that all picked up on.  Very, very odd... yet not totally a bad thing.

It's like they maintain a good intelligence sharing network. Potentially they don't even involve Trump, so their sources may stay safe.

Good to see you :cheers:

Merci Jacob,

Glad to see you again as well.  Yes, hopefully this is a FAIR MUTUAL EXCHANGE without any betrayal of any equities and all that.
Just amazed to be 40 and having some things change and some things stay the same.

All the best!

Sadly, no.  Unofficial foreign travel would complicate my hiring process, which is a major concern as I retire in 12 months, 14 days.  I do not desire any weird bullshit...
