This is my first; she came in at about 10 lbs:

Yes, the only responsibility of the dining hall workers is to stand behind a counter and place food on students’ plates. It’s the Magic Dining Fairies who stock the shelves, prepare and cook the food, carry the huge containers of cooked food from place to place as needed, wash and put away the cutlery, dishes and …

Anybody scroll down far enough in the comments to see this?

I’m not saying that the Church shouldn’t be giving money to worthy causes - just that they can do it without having accept money from anyone. They are worth multiple billions of tax-free dollars, and could fully fund anything they wanted to without having to ask for donations from the people who can least afford it. …

I am incredibly excited for this film - I lived and breathed those books for most of my childhood and adolescence. I do have one tiny nitpick, though - the girl who was cast as Meg looks way too young! Or am I just an old and this is what high school kids look like now? I just looked at her and icked out about her…

Which doesn’t mean that the people who ARE contributing can actually afford it. Numerous studies have shown that as a percentage of income, the middle class gives far more to charity than anyone else. It also does not negate the fact they actually don’t need to be asking anyone for anything - they have enough money…

Except that the Catholic Church is one of the (if not the) largest landowners in the world, and they have more money than God. Yet they continue to squeeze every dime they can from people who can’t really afford. Without any fundraising whatsoever, the Church could fund every single charity they run for the next 300…

OK, I’m starting a new betting pool. Exactly how many days (or hours) after the election will the Senate approve Merrick Garland, in order to keep Hillary from making a nomination?

I’m kind of partial to Mango Mussolini.

FWIW - my sister the Rabbi says that not only did Ivanka convert to Judaism, but she and her family are fairly observant, and she’s involved in the Jewish community in NYC. I think that speaks well of her. Still don’t like her, though.

I think I may have posted this before, but when my Rabbi sister’s now ex-husband took her to meet his mother (an old money alcoholic who my ex-BIL rarely had any contact with) after their engagement, her first words were, “How could you marry someone I can’t take to my club?”

Anyone who thinks that a male Secretary of State would have been as scrutinized and attacked with as much vitriol as Hillary has is kidding themselves. Does she hold some unpopular positions? Yes. Has she made mistakes? Of course. But if you really think that a man in the same position, given the same set of…

To me, the whole point is that AFTER that exchange, he then proceeded to force the actress greeting them to hug both Trump and himself. You can see on the video how upset she looks. That’s an action he took that was in no way a response to anything Trump said or did. I mean “How about a hug for Billy?” That’s just…

Came here to say the same thing. The article doesn’t make any sense unless you replace the word “transvestite” with “transexual.” Transvestites and transgender are two different things, while transgender has replaced transexual in meaning.

Well, a federal judge seems to be taking it somewhat seriously (from The Guardian):

Why isn’t this getting more attention? From The Independant:

My parents had a chaise longue in their bedroom. I have always been a weird sleeper - I usually don’t even get tired until midnight, and even as a kid I was up still all hours. If I couldn’t sleep, or had a nightmare, I’d just creep across the hall to my parents room and curl up under my blanket and try to sleep. I…

Even if it’s in the the bible, there’s no guarantee.

True, Diana wouldn’t have married Brian Guinness if she wasn’t a socialite, but you never know what would have happened with Mosely. She was still a polarizing figure in pre-war Britain.

Unity was as smart as some of her sisters, but she wasn’t stupid. She was just dead wrong.
