My father who shops once a month for his basic household needs tried to offer me a big package of toilet paper when I left his place yesterday. He still would have plenty, but was concerned I would run out and he wanted to have a couple less large paper products to move in the next month. He wasn’t reassured that I…

Yes. It’s important to make him and his gang of swamp creatures unemployed in November. That includes his enablers in the Senate, especially McConnell and Graham who are both facing Democratic challengers that seem to be decent and could force them to spend actual time campaigning.
That was my view as well. JoJo was a kid who participated in the Hitler Youth because it was the social norm and he still didn’t fit in.
Milwaukee was heavily settled by Catholic immigrants from central and eastern Europe, especially from Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That’s why there’s churches on the list named St. Hedwig and St. John Nepomuk as well as St. Mary Czestochowa, all originating from that…
I’m another recovering Catholic who also found this essential resource useful. I’m in Wisconsin and there’s a lot of good information for most of the state. There was enough information out there for the Milwaukee area that my late mother was able to access to narrow down what Catholic churches to skip when her and my…
I’m sure Joel Osteen and his fellow evangelical millionaire pastors will learn to do without their private planes and vacation homes after paying taxes on their kitschy churches and income.
The extra, very short notice sick days are more common. The male coworker with 3 kids was taking off early or calling in sick at least once a week this spring because one of his kids was having some issues at school. The kid’s anxieties about something that was going on his classroom manifested themselves as stress…
The people who get frustrated about having to pick up the slack for parents are just as annoyed with their management for making that the norm rather than the exception. It shouldn’t be the norm in both the private and public sectors, but it is.
I live in a college town and most of the coffee shops, both the corporate and locally owned ones, have some limits on how long people can sit and use the wifi. Most make you log on every hour.
A local place that has excellent breakfast/brunch food and baked goods has a no laptops or tablets policy on the weekends. According to the place, it’s to foster a sense of “community” and more likely, to discourage people from camping out at the tables during the busy weekends. It isn’t communicated very well to be…
Ghost looks like he made it through. He’s in the episode 4 preview at around 20 seconds in.
My dad made the decision recently to switch to a vegan diet after finding out he had prostate cancer. He made the decision because meat can be a carcinogen and his family has a history of heart problems. I’m actually rather surprised that he’s doing the whole vegan thing because it’s a lot of changes for him - a white…
Izzo has perfected his routine of getting in the refs’ faces when they try to call a fair game and fouls on MSU. He got on the refs during most of MSU’s close games this year, and it worked in State’s favor most of the time.
The multiple bags of hard cat food my dad got last weekend may have prompted a receipt check. Usually he orders that plus the prescription diet dog food from Chewy, but the weather wasn’t looking great this week for the FedEx delivery person to bring the large boxes up to the house from the road. Instead he picked…
The largest one closest to where my dad lives in SE WI must have someone checking receipts during certain times. I helped him restock on his household supplies this past weekend and we had two carts full, mostly of cleaning supplies, cat food, and paper products. He had to show his receipt when exiting, possibly…
The other group that benefits from doctors and health care systems that don’t share information with each other are the health care providers, doctors and nurses, that either have a prescription drug addiction or steal drugs intended for their patients. One of my cousins lost her nursing license over a decade ago…
It probably helps that my parents’ Weim has very severe food allergies, including needing prescription, meat-free hard and soft food, but both the parents really would make sure he only gets a certain amount at every meal. He still very rarely gets fed from the table and any fruits or veggies that he’s fed are put in…
Margaret Atwood is another author like Gaiman whose work was difficult to adapt for TV and film for a long time. Up until the last couple years, the only adaptation of her work was the early 90s Handmaid’s Tale film, which is not very good. The Hulu series is a worthy adaptation, but the second season was hard to…
The Shining is another King story that would be ripe for another adaptation, either as a film or miniseries/limited series on TV. The Kubrick film is a great horror film with some positives including the set design and has great resonance in modern pop culture. Some of them weren’t original ideas of Kubrick, despite…
