Unfortunately a lot of the “nice things” never even make it to the floor of Goodwill because they’re hoarded/claimed by employees.

That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it.

I learned about a hundred years ago in high school typing class. I did 65 wpm on their old manuals and if you know anything about typing on an old manual, 65 wpm is excellent time. I managed to do 100 wpm on an IBM Selectric back in the day — Selectrics were considered the cream of the crop in electric typewriter and…

Here, too, in high school in the early ‘70s (yeah, I’m old). Our instructor was a shorter man who stood on a box at the front and kept the metronome-type cadence going with a pointer tapping the podium for three-letter practice. “tap-tap-tap space, tap-tap-tap space....” I don’t remember the four- or five-letter words…

We had full size mechanical office typewriters with blank keys.

I took a “secretarial” typing class in high school 1967-68. So we learned all kinds of extra stuff like how to fold a letter correctly, how to work with carbon paper and how to use eraser shields. I was typing about 65wpm at the end of the class.

High school typing class with typewriters and these flat cardboard books that would stand next to the typewriter and give us drills to follow. Two spaces after the period, how many lines to put between parts of a memo, all that good stuff. The typing class teacher also was the advisor for FBLA at my school and she…

I’m biased, because I’m a librarian (though not at a public library), but my favorite thing is the fact it’s the only public institution around where you can spend time without having to have an explicit purpose or pay a fee.

Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card!

Sure, but for all of Charles’ and Anne’s formative years (Anne was ten when Andrew was born, iirc), Anne was “the spare!” That would’ve made for a decade-plus of Charles and Anne being subjected to all the attendant privileges/burdens of heir & spare, including a more complicated relationship with their mom-Queen. By…

Anyone who thinks regulating the internet as a utility is a communist idea is probably a right wing reactionary, an executive at a telecom, or both. Which means you can safely ignore them.

I think it’s genius and not a new concept. I wish we could afford 2 adjoining apartments, with a special door for our son to go between, so my husband could make his goddamn mess in his own space and we could hang out (and bone) in mine.

Look at you bringing the facts. Thank you!

We have used Caring Bridge when we’ve had major medical issues in the family, and it’s been a nice way to keep people updated without having to repeat ourselves all the time. I’m an introvert, so doing lots of conversations is draining for me regardless of the topic. You could even print up business cards with just…

It is deeply refreshing for an actor, let alone a female actor over age 23, to say hell, yes, I stayed for the money, you think steady gigs and Emmy shots and chances to negotiate higher rates grow on trees, you idiots? Not to mention being able to provide a stable home life where I actually see my family more than…

My grandma went to the doctor when she was in her late 20's for a physical for her new job. The doctor listens to her lungs and heart and then puts the stethoscope up to her stomach and tells her she’s pregnant. He can hear a heartbeat .

Jacqueline Bouvier wasn’t a foreign heiress. The whole foreign thing came after her first husband was killed, remember. Onassis after Kennedy. Her dad was wealthy, but I wouldn’t put her in “heiress” territory.

I mean it’s not a perfect 1:1 comparison, but any stretch, and please don’t assume I’m trying to compare Trump to JFK in any positive way for Trump. Like the OP said through, we’re talking farce at this point. We’re saying lets take the positive attributes of one leader and turn them into a grotesque caricature.

Ehh... JFK was a war hero who broke his body during WWII when he could’ve bought his way out of serving or played up a childhood riddled with illness and Jackie O was born in New York to people who’d find Trump’s family...quaint. He may wish to be JFK, but that’s as far as the relationship goes. 

You could do the exact same thing, except way less “passive aggressive”, with a kindly-worded personal email to the group with an update about her condition a couple weeks before the event.
