This actually makes me feel better about that prospect. Thanks.

I own shit-kickers. Most flares flare out too much at the bottom (which means they flap about when you walk, and don’t break properly in the front) and don’t start high enough to accommodate cowboy boots.

Those ugly prints are very “Little House” revival; which was absolutely a thing - just in the summer. It’s weird to see it on fall-weight fabrics and lengths.

Bear in mind that she wears a single, solid color to make it easier for people who have travelled to see her to actually pick her out of the crowd, so as to not disappoint them. Keep in mind, too, that it must be comfortable for long periods for an elderly person, not get too wrinkled in a car (or other situations),…

The only other person I can think of who would put that much effort into a sweater for a person they didn’t know is Molly Weasley. Which, really, isn’t a bad person to be listed with.

You’re not wrong. People even say this about female artists who are actually known foremost as singer-songwriters - Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell have both faced this kind of criticism/talent-assassination. The only analogue I can think of among male artists is in the boy-band category, and even there, it’s never as…

The issue isn’t over singing songs written by someone else, the issue is over how payment is made for the songs. Song royalties are still frequently paid out on a per-performance basis. And that payment doesn’t go to the performer, but to the songwriter(s). Sinatra, actually, campaigned (and quite rightly) to get this…

Why, in their official statement, is Anthem Blue Cross calling Ms Wiklund by her first name? Are they friends?

You know what the difference is between everything that you listed and guns?

I think deerlady meant that, now, 17 years after the birth, at 27 she is a woman. Not that she was at 10.

There is nothing at all irrational about being upset over that.

I dunno; I think most people can take a look at that and understand that it is a seriously skilled piece of work. Even your average RegrEtsy type might hold off until they had something worthy, you know?

This makes me a little sad. We <3 you, and we <3 u bleachie!

I’m pleased to hear that you’d rather pay for the costs associated with unwanted pregnancies, children, their schooling, and then their eventual impact on society as they stretch their parents’ financial, temporal, and emotional resources thin and then themselves inevitably succumb to the odds of poverty and…

I suspect you have the Right Answer; her photos are way better than what you could get with a long-lens, therefore anything you could get with a long-lens is worthless. Everyone at the party poses for a few snaps, and the rest of the day is creeper-free.

THANK YOU!!! I didn’t know, and that is right up my street :D

That is a huge bummer :(

That they don’t even OWN a television, obviously.

They’re not lost so long as we have those whose careers they have launched.

I haven’t yet gotten to the part of the book where she discusses how to fold socks (does she actually describe a method?), but I’ve been following the instructions in this video for years. I linked to the spot where she starts with tights, because it was so revelatory for me, but she does socks right after.
