Yeah I am desperately hoping that this offer was made under the direction of the police who will use it to get these people and publicize the outcome. Otherwise we are about to see a whole new crime industry get much more popular in the US.

Ha! A while back I ordered a really cute merino wool knit t shirt type dress. It was long sleeved, fit me perfectly and was quite flattering if I may say so. The only problem was that it was so itchy! It immediately felt like the dress was attacking me. Im glad vanity didn’t cloud my judgement. I returned it and got…

If you worked in a bookstore when this novel came out, you have been asked by a million people for variations on the title such as, “The Covered Bridges of the County.” And if you were the passive-aggressive little $hit I was working at a Borders Book Shop, you looked blankly at said customer and typed in the exact…

Gilda Radner is a pretty good example in a lot of cases.

Does this idiot not have one adviser willing to say “Look, Senator....there’s nothing you can do to fix this right now. Keep your head down, stop engaging on this and maaaaybe it’ll blow over sooner rather than later.”

And low-rise jeans are comfortable for people with stomach and other abdominal issues. Granted, I am speaking as an old person (crazy to consider comfort), but I have friends with endometriosis and fibroids and IBD who are cursing the high-waist trend because it means they can’t buy jeans.

The great thing about cargo shorts is they’re never in style. Thus helping the wearer achieve a zen-like state of permanent dorkitude. Plus plenty of pockets.

This is the politics equivalent of my friends who suggested that I should start the “hey mom and dad, I’m converting to a different religion” talk by saying “I’m pregnant and planning to become a nun! Just kidding, I’m only switching religions, isn’t that better than the worst case scenario?”

Michelle Obama isn’t here to solve our problems...

Of course they are.  We weren’t talking about nominees that would make good judges, but nominees that would make the wax run out of Republican ears.

These are all terrible choices...there are black women who are actually judges you know. The article you just read (?) says that the nominee will face intense scrutiny in a 50-50 senate and will need to have unimpeachable qualifications. Appointing someone with no judicial experience just to trigger republicans for…

She’s not a lawyer of course, but there have been a number of non-lawyers appointed to the Supreme Court in the history of that institution.

She wouldn’t accept, any more than she’d run for President.

If he were gonna nominate someone to freak out cons, he’d have nominated Hillary for AG. That would have been AWESOME!!!

The article said non-Ivy League though and Obama went to Harvard Law School. 

If I remember my history correctly, Republicans changed the rules so that you can push a Supreme Court nomination through in one day. That’s why we have a rapist and a person who thinks you shouldn’t be able to get an abortion if you get raped on the team.

Shelter Cat Update!

Hey all! Happy Saturday night! The Bartender and I had our two friends The Canadians over for drinks and dinner last night. We had a cheese plate, summer salad (because fruit and vegetables here in Panama grow all year and salads are accordingly fantastic-tasting) and the Tiktok pasta, and everything was great. And,…

So now that we’re coming up on a year with a pandemic, how are people doing? I think I’m getting weird. I’ve got a better situation than a lot of people—I’m able to work from home and keep a good pantry, I’m hunkered down with my husband (who is my favourite person) and my cat (we’ve managed to get her good health…
