I'm so ignorant of sports that I don't even know what FIFA is. I'm probably not going to be a very effective advocate for embroidery. Dang.

This may not be the time or the place for it, but I would like to advocate for the inclusion of Olympic embroidery. As you correctly point out, there are many events that are not sports, like ice dancing and in the summer games, horse dancing. With a pre-selected pattern that every team had to work, embroidery could…

I used to put Barbie and hippie Ken (I got him a wig) in bed all the time and try to convince them to have sex! They tried mightily but never quite got the hang of it. Hahahahaha

I know what you mean. My uterus (or possibly my fallopian tubes) decided against the baybays. No complaints now; I think we all get used to whatever happened and at some point it all seems inevitable.

This this this. When my father died last year we only had a brief internment service at the cemetery. No tears were shed by anyone who actually knew him! Total relief to have him gone...he wasn't quite a monster but an utter narcissist, completely unable to understand anyone having feelings besides himself. Mom…

Apparently, he and other posh British actors whose names I've forgotten like to get together for lengthy cheekbone polishing sessions. Per reddit, I think. Hahahahahahahahaha

Collins is a so-called liberal Repub? I think neither of them is a tea partier. Ugh, Republicans. I'm sending Wendy $100 per month for the duration.

Well, I agree with your sentiment, but just for the record, Collins and Murkowski are both Republicans.

Maybe you haven't seen They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Talk about a depressing movie about a woman/other people having limited options. But it is one of the greatest I've ever seen (starring Jane Fonda, 1969). I love T&L and saw it twice on its original theatrical release. For me the end felt empowering, considering…

AND HERE I AM ALL HTE.

Proto-Cumberbatch! You are a genius.

Twin Liquors...are you in Austin??

Well, I am a northern European descended American, practically no Irish whatsoever, according to ancestry.com. All of my ancestors were apparently present in what is now the USA prior to 1776, from England (mostly), Scotland and Germany. I, a liberal feminist pro-choice Democrat, have voluntarily lived in Texas for…

Lenin kills capitalist heiress in stress relief massage package dispute!

And if I remember his remarks correctly (not going to go reread them for absolute accuracy or any other purpose) he was really going off on gay men because of *OMG gross* gay male sex practices as he imagines them. I bet he doesn't even mind lesbians since you are not such a big bad threat to the likes of him. …

I know an Io who is 2 months old.

Right! And when you've got a large teenager kitten who's having his first Christmas, all bets are off for the month.

I think it's because trolls always have burner accounts. And I had to keep signing in due to multiple computers and phone - I work away from home during the week. I'm old myself but I am on facebook —- at least I know not to sign in from there!

I have a real tree every year, and have had many cats over the years as well. Never had anybody try to climb the tree, have had quite a few attack the random ornament. A couple of sister cats I had back in the 90's used to drink all the tree water and I had to improvise a cardboard cover to keep them out of there. A…
