Cosmos | 276 comments You have an a**hole, Trump, and the lesser of two evils, Clinton, as your choices. Neither is Presidential material in my view. And the thought that there ARE Trump supporters makes me want to vomit.

That's free speech but really our news media create this by giving him 100% of the attention, letting us know everything he says and the failure of the Republican party to have a candidate that had the cojones to stand up to him. The man has so much garbage on him, yet no stood up to him and dished it back to them.

Of the two, Clinton's LEAST likely to get us into a nuclear war.

Mike, it's because they were afraid of the media playing the "politically incorrect" card. All PC is is a bunch of NeoMcCarthyism dressed in horse manure...rotting horse manure, marinated in humpback whale semen.

Adam Chance | 15 comments As a brand new author I'm really pleased to see that my debut WW2 espionage novel has collected it's first 'Goodreads' review. It was given five stars & the comment 'it was amazing'. High praise indeed & one which makes all the effort worthwhile.

Amber Martingale Hi, Adam.


message 8668: by Adam (new)

Adam Chance | 15 comments Thank you all. Your kind words are much appreciated. Quite by chance I have also picked up my first amazon review today! The reader also awarded the book five stars along with the following comment (quote):

"A fantastic thriller.

A fast paced thrill ride of a story. Adam Chance keeps the adventure moving along, filled with well observed characters and exciting events. I for one can't wait for the next Harry Flynn adventure."


message 8669: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Not bad for a first time out.

Jason E. Fort (fortress23) | 154 comments Good show, Adam. Indie author here, and those reviews can really make your day sometimes. Of course, I got my first random rating here on Goodreads with no explanation or anything. I think they just resented the subject matter. Oh well -
Anyway, welcome, and good luck in future writings and reviews.

message 8673: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale You're welcome, Adam.

Cosmos: Have an appointment for a well woman exam. I hate those damned things.

Cosmos, please make sure posts are kept to respectable posts.

2-3 have been removed.

I know you have been a member 3-4 times, I know you are !

Happy to have you as long as you remember not to upset our members, I know you mean well.


message 8676: by Cosmos (new)

Cosmos | 276 comments How did I show disrespect, Sean? And who did I upset and how? Please show me the evidence because I don't know what you're talking about.

Well I have removed the comment from the new thread from Book Social, re doing a survey only naked!

These two ladies are doing a worldwide study, our group came out as one of the best.

Removed a couple of others in different subjects.

I know you add some lovely comments, and I know you mean well, please just try to be aware of others, that is all I ask.

Gynecological exam, Cosmos. Embarrassing as all get out.


message 8679: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Just remember, Amber, he has a prostate.... He'll get his! (So glad don't need those exams anymore.)


message 8680: by Amber (new)

I've been with my current Dr. since I was 40, been 10 years now and she does the prostate exam as part of my yearly physical. My father in law survived prostate cancer, he said that they are checking early for it now, partly due to seeing it in younger men and that it's hereditary. Guess it's similar like breast cancer in women.


message 8682: by Cosmos (new)

Cosmos | 276 comments My apologies if I offended anyone. It was not my intention to do so.

I've had a prostate exam and it wasn't fun. I now know what you meant, Amber. I can be sort of thick sometimes.

Paula Adams (goodreadscompadams57) | 1590 comments I went to the doctor shortly after turning 50, he says happy birthday you get to have a colonoscopy. Isn't he just the sweetest? And lucky me, I get to have one yearly now.


message 8689: by Cosmos (new)

Cosmos | 276 comments Preventative medicine, Paula. It may suck but it's worth it's weight in gold.


message 8690: by Paula (new)

Paula Adams (goodreadscompadams57) | 1590 comments Yes I know, Cosmos. It's the prep you have to do that I don't like so much.


message 8691: by Cosmos (new)

Ouch. Sorry to hear your Dad had prostate cancer, Horn but glad to hear he's a survivor.

Sean: Dilated eye exam, too? Speaking of eyes, just picked up my new glasses. First new prescription since 2004.
