I’m so sorry about your father.  My mother died of multiple myeloma coming up three years ago.  We don’t know of any chemical exposure, AFAWK it just happened.  It’s a godawful disease, I hope doctors are able to keep him pain free and that you and your family keep bearing up.  

Am I the only one to have known a bunch of absolutely horrible people that were “committed husbands and fathers”?

I’ve not heard that the cemetery at Boulder in Western Australia is haunted, but it is one creepy-arse place. Boulder was founded as part of the WA gold rush in the late 1890s. It’s been absorbed into nearby Kalgoorlie but still has its own cemetery a few km out of town. Burials still take place there, with graves

I’m making a beautiful dress for my daughter right now, and the pattern doesn’t have pockets but I’m putting them in anyway because she is a gorgeous badass and deserves unexpected pockets.

This is why I learned to sew.  So I can make my daughter look gorgeous and put pockets in her clothes.

I’m sure the Ukrainians did know something was up. I can’t see Trump being so subtle in his extortion attempts that the intended victims are blithely unaware they’re being threatened. He’s not a subtle man.

Neither he (Taylor) or any other witness has provided testimony that the Ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld. You can’t have a quid pro quo with no quo.”

But what is the scientific consensus on crepes? How do they fit into the waffle vs. pancake organizational schemata?

Why would you promote someone into a needed role if they’re about to leave work and not do the job for an extended period of time,

Their source “said the message was that women will be penalized, by both men and women, if they don’t adhere to feminine characteristics or if they display more masculine traits,” and anybody who wanted to be successful should remember it.

No one likes Johnny Depp in the role, especially since we’re supposed to believe Jude Law’s character has a thing for Johnny Depp’s character.

What does renewing the license involve? TBH, it sounds like being credentialled isn’t stupidly hard per se, but that teachers are grossly underpaid for the level of qualification demanded.

I bomb myself out with travel sickness tablets (I can’t believe those things are available OTC) and drift in and out of stoned slumber. On one red-eye between Perth and Sydney, the seat-back was showing “Guardians of the Galaxy”.

And it’s another instance of wanting to strangle Apple for not letting you charge and listen at the same time with wired headphones.

What person with their own device doesn’t bring headphones and play at full volume? I’ve never experienced that on any flight.

People should be lamenting the death of their ability to read books but they don’t seem to be very concerned...

The requirements to get licensed as a teacher in the US are stupid.

I’m sorry; I honestly didn’t realise slavery was part of the founding.  I thought slavery came later in the game.  I’m Australian, so I’m not that well versed in US history.  Thanks for correcting me.

I’m sorry I didn’t include slavery; I didn’t know it was part of the founding of the US. Thanks to everyone for correcting my ignorance.

Occupational licensing is bad, and it’s particularly bad in the educational system.

Rare acceptable use of skin-darkening makeup as a costume!  Well done.
