I have always hated pointy toed shoes. But if she likes them that’s cool. 

Those of us who do not die in firey plane crashes, or end up in exploding car accidents, or get mauled by wild animals, of perhaps poisoning by foreign agents, or in a fall off a cruise ship and drown, or of some horrific disease, will get old.

If you are lucky, you too will be old someday. That’s all.

Finally! I was beginning to think she was having an elephant. But seriously, congratulations to them and the rest of the family. 

Yeah, but he won’t. Rich people tend to live longest. Look at Dick Cheney.

Me too, except I lean towards inexpensive chardonnay. I wish I were kidding. 

Ah yes, but he should be able to squeak by on 10,000 take home, after tax dollars per month. 

Aaaah nothing like a little schadenfreude on a Thursday afternoon. Thanks for the update. 

Yes, as if there is an age of consent for being held against your will and all of the other awful things that happened to this poor child. But I get not wanting to put her through a trial-how effing terrible would that be???

Well, that got my Thursday off to a good start! I had the awards on but stopped really paying watching-as noted, the performers seemed bored with their own material.

They worked together at reporters in Baltimore about 30 or 40 years ago. 

My thrifting jones manifests itself as estate saling. Almost every weekend, I scope out as many as I can. My only rules are 1. Is it something I collect? 2) Is it something I need (like gardening crap-estate sales are great for that kind of thing) and most importantly 3) If I don’t use it within one year, it goes to…

Those kitchen islands are getting ridiculous.

And shiplap, don’t forget the shiplap. Whatever that is-some kind of wall covering?

A whole set of Power Rangers? I could see maybe one, not half a dozen!!

This reminds me of the old Steve Martin bit about not knowing that stealing is against the law. 

But nowadays you can pretty much hire somebody to do anything for you.

See, I know nothing about this kind of thing. 

I never knew hiring somebody to come and help feed your kid at night was a thing people do? If you’re going to do that, why not just have a nanny? (This is me, trying to think and reason like a rich person).
So both women lose, but at least one will still be pretty effing rich.
