      Why is it that, as people age, the question that is always asked of them, is whether they're mulling over retirement? Straighten that sh*t out, people. Quit being the part of society that practises the devaluation of human beings as they advance in age. Instead, be part of a society that embraces creativity, wisdom, knowledge, inner strength, beauty of character, regardless of age.

I am pleased he said Susan Collins must go and this show was recorded before she voted to acquit and said Trump "learned his lesson."

    Speaking of Stephen King's pen, he wrote the entire novel "Dreamcatcher" with a Waterman fountain pen while recuperating in the hospital.

    • @ldchappell1
      @ldchappell1 4 роки тому +5

      @ Dreamcatcher is not too shabby but I wouldn't count it as one of my favorite King novels. It shows a bit of creative fatigue which is understandable considering the pain he was going through during the time he was writing it. My favorite King novel from that period is Hearts In Atlantis. King has too many awesome novels to pick one as a favorite. It's easier if you divide his 46 year writing career into decades and pick your favorite from each decade. My favorites are usually his short story collections. I love them all, especially Skeleton Crew.

      @Maze to confusion I don't believe you intended the pun or know the meaning of Hippocrates. My evidence is the fact that you used four and five different periods for ellipsis, double space after punctuation, write grammatically incorrect sentences, use slashes in places where hypens and commas belong, and wrote the phrase _nazi-leftist_ without irony.

    I like how he always refers to his work as "...a book I wrote called..."
    very humble way of saying it

    I couldn’t agree more. Susan Collins is inept and naive. Dangerously so.

      Omoye Usen I don’t think she is naive. I think she is incredibly shrewd and corrupt.

      Karrene Janyll all that and more. Her actions with kavanaughty at best would be willful ignorance.

      Omoye Usen I disagree, she is not naive at all, she is cunning and scared of trump. She is one of the ones trying to choke the people with their conservative views. God gave me and you free will for a reason. The mistakes we make do have consequences as it should be. We don’t seem to learn unless we become aware of our mistakes. God’s wisdom is greater than those who will oppress you as for example Collins, McConnell, Graham, McCarthy etc. These people have hurt so many people. They are the people who are the creators of the division we see today. One way to help you and me is through a great education system which they will always oppose because it’s not to their benefit.

    I never was really scared by Stephen Kings writing as much as I was totally immersed in the stories. I remember reading Salem’s Lot (which I still think is his best book)
    and not wanting to reach the end.
    It is just a fantastic read.

    There's nothing like opening a new hardcover Stephen King novel and letting the story escape. I'll take any story this man will give us. We're only going to get so many stories from him so I want as many as he's willing to share!
