That really was hard to watch after awhile. When your mountain of a fullback is weeping on the sidelines, you know it’s bad.

I will happily send you some of approximately ten gillion Lego pieces I have at my house. As I may have speciality pieces on order from the factory in Poland for my daughter’s current building project.

I think a number of “blue” states are looking at it.

Elections and voting are generally state controlled. Each state sets the requirements for candidates to get on the ballot - there are a few minimal federal constitutional requirements. A state can lower the voting to 16 but can’t let 20 year old be a candidate for president. It’s an interesting quirk of election law.

Slate had an interesting take about his precarious position with the GOP and McConnell. The gist was - Trump and his merry band of idiots will be destroyed by McConnell the second they (Trump et al) are not useful to him anymore or it looks like they may seriously damage Republican’s ability to hold power.

I believe CA is making it a ballot requirement - no returns means you’re not on the ballot.

We have a rice cooker...somewhere. My issue with it is pretty simple - I don’t have the counter space for it. My kitchen was clearly designed by people who don’t cook so there’s miminal counter space so I use the stove top for rice. Or sometimes the oven.

This made me laugh so hard I had a coughing fit and piddled.

Shut up, you ignorant assholes. A fetus isn’t a person. And, by any objective definition, is a parasite. It cannot perform any functions that define life outside the womb until about 24 weeks. And even then, massive amounts of medical and technological intervention is required. Equating an embryo to a person is an…

Big ass shooters of NyQuil.

Who’s actually in charge of the national guard there? Dumpster fired the commander.

Coach leather briefcase when I got my first attorney position. Used it for three years then never again after I moved to corporate job and then had a laptop.

Walking or biking is great too! I really learned my way around my neighborhood once I started biking and running regularly.

Except the dentist has the magical prescription pad.

I booked a loooong dentist appointment for tomorrow and need to get ready for meetings/ vacation next week. And there’s no tv/radio/internet where we are going.

Nope. I work at a company with right around 70,000 people. The CEO absolutely sets the tone of how employees are treated. Both through his decisions and the examples he sets. If the CEO, routinely dismisses the contributions of employees and is openly disdainful of them, his managers and their directs will get the…

I am a Patriots fan. My kids are Packers fans. It could get ugly at my house.

I will join you in that shame circle.

Holy crap. I knew he flounced in November 2015 around Thanksgiving but all the articles I read left out the lady friend aspect. I have noticed some changes in the magazines editorially but not in quality. His stupid letters from Vermont were so unbearable. In almost ten years of subscription to Cook’s Illustrated I…

I’m lactose intolerant (extremely so) and I can tolerate kefir. I use it for cereal - you can find it in different fruit flavors. It’s tart like a good yogurt.
