Jacob Mundell plays a character in The Expanse who has some sort of injury or birth defect (I don’t recall if it was made clear exactly what had caused it) the descriptions of him in the books match the actors own, real arm with no prosthetic. Actually the show has such genius casting that it’s unsurprising they got…

No one has even stopped to think that teenagers can outgrow their clothes quite suddenly, having growth spurts is almost part of the definition of adolescence. I remember one year growing maybe 2 or 3 inches and my pants being quite short unexpectedly.. Also as someone said below, one piece clothing doesn’t fit every s…
The mayor of Philadelphia - he was merely a city councilmember. My daughter and his daughter were in summer camp at an art museum together, and one week the campers designed clothes and were having a little fashion show. I volunteered to help and was “guarding the door” so no boys from the camp would bust in as the…
When I was teaching, I had a child who had bright red hair and a fair complexion. To me, her mother looked like your average white person, while her dad was more brown but his facial features looked basically white to me, maybe a little native central American. Because I knew this child was bilingual, I figured they…
Could her husband’s name be Nick? They cleverly thought it would be like “Nick’s son”? A high school classmate who gave birth in 9th grade named her kid like that. Imagine the dad’s name was Jack and then named him Jackson (that isn’t it but I don’t even remember the dad’s name, but no one in our class was named Jack…
I bet Mary makes “a mean beef stroganoff” though. (also not magazine still NYT, see a pattern?)
Pet thread people... any advice? My 18 year old cat has been to two different veterinary practices, had the works done as far as blood tests, exams, etc. She is physically very healthy “for her age” to quote both vets. Both vets suggested she may have dementia. I feed her the best food our money can buy, but for…
Every well thought out reply has mentioned philosophical reasons for names, but there are also practical reasons why one surname might be better than another. We work so hard on the first names - it has to convey all the right things, not have people make any negative assumptions before actually knowing the person…
It may not even look the same. The process of cloning cats has led to the theory that cat color is probably influenced by methylization of cells in the womb. There’s also epigenetics to consider. They used to blame the multiple colors in kitten litters on the mother cats being promiscuous but that turns out not to be…
Thank you
Johnny Cash never shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Glen Campbell wasn’t ever a Wichita Lineman. Tony Orlando didn’t really ever see a hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree. The Village People were never in the Navy. I don’t really know if Billie Jean was Michael Jackson’s lover, but a lot of songs…
If you would have read the other comments, native americans are not Cher’s “own people”. But as mentioned previously not every song is exactly autobiographical. Lots of singers also have songs about a broken heart they didn’t have, or how beautiful someone was, when there was no such love affair.
Good point! I lived in Indiahoma OK for about a year, also lived in Alaska where there were no reservations. In fact, under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the tribes incorporated and own lands as what are called “Native Corporations” and each corporation uses its resources to support their people. This can…
One of the band members worked briefly as a teacher when they still had day jobs, IIRC. That song is ambiguous. I’ve never been able to figure out whether that was the teacher warning a girl with a crush on him not to stand too close (which would reflect badly on him, if he were conscientious) or the girl asking him…
The Edge of Seventeen.. I have to say it took me years to realize that was horrible... but I think I was less than 17 when it came out. But would it still be played so much on classic rock stations if a guy sang that? Not in today’s climate! There are other songs that say similar things about young women, but usually…
Can I ask a couple of questions of the people on this thread? Because there seem to be a lot of people with good information.
Why aren’t we asking for a change in the distribution of $? For starters, local cops are paid locally, not like the military who work for the whole nation. I guess you come from a smaller nation where there aren’t distinctions?
Also, forgot to mention, under environmental benefits all that corn we feed them is fertilized by petroleum (global warming) and is a monoculture (bad for environment, another rant on another day) and is often doused in pesticides. Also, ironically farmers often kill deer to protect their soybeans and corn.
