AYFKM?

And gone to fucking Congress first. Because Congress declares war, not the President.

Who says the Tantrump doesn’t support performance art? That was $90M for “Holes in Concrete”.

Hoping for Pyrrhic battle, myself. But I would get cable just to get the Pay Per View of that event. I’d buy popcorn futures.

And when they get called on it, they melt down. Which can be amusing, if they’re melting down on the far side of bullet-proof glass, and terrifying in the same room. These are the men who cannot bear to be laughed at.

The best way to learn how to sew knits on the cheap is to grab some cheap, giant men’s tee shirts and cut them down to be flattering. (The Seamwork Mesa pattern is flattering and works well with cotton jersey; just limit the hem to hip level instead of tunic.) Try foldover elastic for the neckline instead of a…

It depends on where it doesn’t fit. I’m assuming around the tummy, below the bra-band line, so this is my suggestion. If it’s already close-fitting around the torso, you can turn it inside out and run a pair of narrow zig-zag seams inside the side-seams, making it more close-fitting, more like a knit cami than an…

I can personally recommend the Closet Case Files bodysuit pattern (turns into a swimmer with fabric selection) and any of Jalie’s activewear. Jalie’s primary market is gymnastics, dance and ice-skating, so they really understand activewear and every pattern fits toddler to plus-sized adult, with excellent grading.…

Running skirt and a rash guard. I already had my lifetime quota of sunburns, because my useless parents thought their milk-pale red-headed kid would eventually become olive skinned like them if I got burned enough. Rashguards turn out to be much more comfortable than expected; they provide continual evaporative…

YES. WHAT THE FRESH HELL IS THIS??!??!

Check with your dry cleaner - a lot of them have a contract with a cobbler who can replace those heel caps and do a shine, and if your dry cleaner does pick-up/drop-off service, the shoes can be part of that. Two or three pair of good leather pumps will last far, far longer with just a little maintenance. I still have…

I vote for George - he could totes play cool, eccentric older neighbor. I would watch this like my first VHS tape - again and again, at least twice a day.

Denver-Boulder Metro here, got another decade. Otherwise, in total agreement. Will even organize a meetup for the Front Range if there’s interest.

Because they called landlines in the middle of the day? If I want a sample of the Silver Sneakers set, that’s how I’d construct my poll, and that’s easy. Getting *other* voices is expensive and difficult.

“Ahead of schedule and under budget” Okay, so fast and cheap. Well, that tells us what doesn’t matter here.

I keep reminding myself they already have the ideas. It’s not like Atwood wrote in a vacuum, and it’s not like this version isn’t pulling from actual statements, policy and intentions. If anything, it’s easier for those of us who oppose this shit to have visuals we can then use as a “see? This is that he means.”

Sears/Kmart is the case study for the lethality of Objectivism in business. Sears made two mistakes, 24 and 22 years ago: they ended the catalog model, and failed to transition the print catalog to a web model (despite having their origins in mail order). Ever since, they’ve been losing. Amazon got some of Sears’…

Lowes is not owned by Walmart. It is an independent, publicly traded company (LOW on NYSE). Don’t know where that rumor came from, but it’s pretty well debunked.

Apparently, the DA can convince a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but not pulled pork or BLTs. Must be all the white bread.

I am hoping it’s an Archie Bunker sort of move. (With caveat that I cannot stand sitcoms, so have never seen this iteration). Archie was chronically wrong, but the rest of the cast and the script were dragging him towards progress, while incidentally doing the same with those who strongly identified with Archie. Sure,…
