You need it just to keep the mold at bay. I lived south Louisiana for years. AC had to run 11 months of the year otherwise black and green stuff would start growing on the inside walls.

What does she do during hurricanes? Everything is open sided. I can accept that rain doesn’t blow in during average rainstorms, but I’ve been through hurricanes where the rain came sideways.

My problem with NYDJ is that there’s so much lycra in them that they get bigger and bigger during the course of the day. By evening, I’m pulling them up.

Try Land’s End for basics like t-shirts and cardigans. I get great plus size stuff there...and you can put items in the washer and dryer and get them back looking like they’re supposed to look.

Tim Gunn was spot on regarding Ashley Nell Tipton. It was as if she was designing to exaggerate a plus size woman’s curves. Not all of us want that.

Frankly, Gohmert is worse than the most idiotic peckerwood that ever staggered out of the East Texas piney woods.

It’s kind of a yes and no answer. Here’s a discussion in the Washington Post.

I’d rather that the university not handle rape cases or other serious crimes themselves at all. The city, county, or state police should immediately be in charge and the victim be treated at a hospital experienced in such cases.

He doesn’t realize that he can’t actually “sack” a general. He can have the general moved out of a position, but the general retains rank and so forth until he or she retires.

Is that stadium supposed to look like a bird’s nest?

Trump is the undisputed master of word salad.

Yes, I took it back to the store for a refund then went to a dive shop and bought a serious dive watch. I don’t recall the brand off hand, this was in the mid 80's, and it was from a watch place in the mall. That should have been my first red flag. Buy a specialty item at a specialty shop.

Exactly. I learned that the hard way years ago. When they say an item is water proof up to a certain number of meters, they mean if you tie it to a line and gently lower it to the depth. I wore my waterproof watch on a shallow dive, much shallower than the supposed tolerance of the watch and the watch was dead in an…

“Based on how I was treated, my suspicion is the editors aren’t big Ann Coulter fans,”

As a supervisor who has been on the other side of that discussion, I wish we could find an easier, more open way to talk. I’ve had several employees who needed help and I wanted to help them, but they were uncomfortable speaking up until their conditions were clearing affecting their work. I’d much, much rather have…

There’s an interesting article in Dallas Magazine. It’s more about the “kingmaker” who talked Hawk into running and tried to support her during her short time in office.

Once they assign members to this independent commission we’ll see if this is a serious effort.

I’ve been listening to this podcast. It’s quite good. He’s taking a nuanced view, looking at motivations and not treating the Goths as a single tribe of mindless barbarians.

It will be interesting to see what Gretchen Carlson does now in terms of her career. She’s standing firmly on moral high ground for the first time since she joined Fox News. She could use that to pivot to being a real journalist if she’s ever had aspirations in that regard.

That’s pretty much what all his movies are. There’s always a character who is Woody Allen’s proxy and has pretty much the same personality in every movie. Then, yes, the character does land a young woman way out of his league and/or age group.
