I’d suggest those a bit younger should look up the Saturday Night Massacre to see why olds are kind of stunned at this point.

Meanwhile, at JazzFest, even though it was the last day, I heard Zydeco, swamp rock, Kermit Ruffin’s tribute to Louis Armstrong and some gutbucket blues. I ate Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Creole, Smoked Turkey and Alligator Sausage Gumbo, Begniets and Mango Freeze, washed down with iced and hot Cafe au Lait. I made a…

I hope they sue all those models too. I want all these POS to be made responsible for this, especially that little fratboy who orchestrated the whole thing. I don’t care if he scammed rich kids, he scammed people in the end. Finish him. It’s not like some random Instagram models were advertising the festival. It was…

I’m sure his argument is that if you go to the ER they have to treat you. Which I’m sure works well if you have been shot or are having a heart attack or stroke and require emergency care. But it doesn’t pay for your chemo or your blood pressure meds that would prevent illness or allow you to live longer.

I personally know about a guy who didn’t have insurance because my stupid state didn’t expand Medicaid. He ignored the signs of being pretty sick because his only option was the ER and he’d already been there a lot recently and couldn’t afford it.

Right? How is he going to manage when he goes to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and The Vatican later this month?

That’s not how any of this works....

If you find that, PLEASE let me know. Though I will say, in my decade-plus of poly, it’s WAY, WAY more common for a woman to have two male partners than vis versa.

That was most food in the 1960s, though.

Exactly. Attitude is great, recipes mostly look like typical midcentury glop. But all food from that era’s pretty bad.

Yeah, I agree - the recipes are mostly awful. But it’s still delightful and subversive all these decades later.

I love the Feminine-Mystique-for-the-kitchen attitude, but (and I know I’ll get slammed for this) the food was highly processed and the recipes generally bland. I’m glad it was published. Not for the recipes but for the middle-finger-ness of it.

Pro tip: if you have an advance directive or a DNR, it’s helpful to have something on your person (similar to one of those medical alert bracelets that people used to wear) in the event you are unconscious. My grandfather had legal documentation in place to prevent extraordinary measures, but he lost consciousness and…

I agree 100%.
