Why? Summer camp lobby get to him?

This why I have rage strike when idiots start blathering about there being no real differences between Clinton and Trump. It’s not Trump who’s going to destroy things. It’s Pence and Ryan and all the other GOP assholes. Oh, I have to vote my conscience. Well, when your gay neighbors can’t get married, your barista…

That was one of the arguments for keeping it off the ballot as well as others. Police unions can be pretty awful and so to be engaged in a race to be the most odious. And they seem to elect their worst as “union reps” or spokesmen. The argument was that the city had agreed to terms of employment with the officers…

It was more because of how the petition was written. It was framed as a amendment to the city charter not as a referendum. The contract between the city and the union was pre-existing and there were issues about a conflict with the state’s municipal immunity statutes. Regardless, it’s a tremendous idea with merit.

Minneapolis citizens tried this but were prevented from putting it on the ballot. They wanted to force cops to buy their own liability insurance. The city council couldn’t do it because of the union contract. It needs to be a lot easier to hold bad cops accountable for their actions.

My kids. Multiple times. They turn it on to torture me.

I think it’s more textural - they like comfy and cozy covers.

You save on those weird little clipper things?

I blame genetics. My husband isn’t a fan either. I make them eat their veggies and bathe but I haven’t yet forced the top sheet on them. Flu shots first.

My kids are anti-top sheet. I don’t get it. They love every other type of comforter, blanket, snuggy, etc known to mankind. But they eschew the top sheet like a hair shirt.

I was trying to figure out why he would be in a laundromat.

Ha! I haven’t heard that one. I don’t mind the cold too much as long as there’s snow for skiing and snowshoeing and sledding.

The one that has stuck with me was in the local alt-weekly. Before JonBenet was killed, Patsey went to a local art class. Community Ed type thing for beginners. But, she was a trained artist but acted as if it was beginner’s luck. It was like that episode of Friends where Monica goes an intro cooking class and gets…

They make quilted, fabric purses, wallets, totes, and the like in bright patterns usually florals or paisley.

It’s not as bad as it sounds.

They were part of Boulder/Denver society and an accidental killing would have been the end of them socially. There were a lot of weird stories (not criminal just odd) about them in Boulder. I moved there shortly after this happened. Boulder PD rightly took a lot of heat for this case - they really messed up left and…

I got my son an Anker. So, he's on his own. He watches video constantly and never checks the battery meter. I have no sympathy.

Yes! I do a charter for RAGBRAI and they specifically warn about this as there a few cases each year on the ride. There was one in the charter group about three years ago and the woman spent two days in the hospital.

Surprised to see the Twin Cities left off the list. There is a robust start-up culture here and a number of major corporations have significant presences. Plus, cost of living isn’t nearly as bad as either the West/East coast and the quality of life is outstanding. And the same magazine ranked it sixth for finding a…

I’ve been married 18 years. It is hard work but a good kind of work. Where you feel better not worse for your efforts.
