I believe you are living in God’s country, at least when it come to food and domestic architecture!

I wrote above that, if Parrott’s wife becomes pregnant by this guy, the child will be his son as well as his step-grandson ? Will be his wife’s brother as well as her stepson? That is some Holy Roman Empire level of fuckery, there.

There’s a reason Cindy can’t recognize Nick Nolte. It’s called AGING, honey. If you left off the injectables, you would look like that too!

Then Colon goes back to miscounting the sugar cubes...

Replying to myself to add: So, if the MIL got pregnant by him, the child would be his wife’s brother AND stepson—as well as his son AND his nephew.

Not to mention Caligula. Or was it Nero that made his horse a city councillor?

Wait, what?

Naturally occurring, not the synthetic, so ok!

Oh, he is talking about ME! I am an old white lady and I LOVE that song! I also like “You Are the Prettiest Girl,” probably because I love the Despicable Me movie!

The great grandmomma of them all has to be Charleston Receipts, which was first published in 1950 and is, I believe, still in print. It makes great reading, especially recipes for things like Partridge Pie and Quail with Oysters.

I have been researching the connection between immigration and food for the past few months and these kinds of community cookbooks provide terrific insight into that, as well as into overall food trends. (As someone who was a teenager in the 1970s, I remember when chicken started replacing beef and how much my father…

Some of the sparkling mineral waters, like Pellegrino, also have some calcium (like 4% RDA per 8 oz.), which is a nice benefit.

My sister works for the Feds and she says many of the Trump appointees have armed guards and/or are requesting permission to carry weapons. In one case, the appointee is someone who foreclosed on a lot of home loans and he is apparently afraid that some disgruntled ex-homeowner is going to take a shot at him.

From the dog side: My beloved mother-in-law had a beautiful, stupid Springer Spaniel named Puzzle. That dog followed her everywhere, including into the bathroom and, when she showered, leaned on the shower curtain until he finally just fell into the shower with her. He was a CLEAN dog.

There was almost no coverage around the initial threat. My nephew goes to Howard and my bil teaches there—you wouldn’t even have known this was going on in the area and that this guy was threatening to GUN DOWN COLLEGE STUDENTS & TEACHERS. Imagine this happening at Princeton—or Liberty University for that matter. The…

Thank you for responding. It certainly didn’t jump out at me—it was more that I found the way the data was illustrated a little confusing and, when I thought about how to make it clearer, I noticed the gap. Your explanation works, I think, to define the data parameters more clearly.

If you are a business owner or a VC investor, I will eat my Via Spiga shoes. Well, maybe you own a franchise or something. But no VC investor would even come close to a formulation like the one you gave above. It is not oversimplified. It is just wrong.

I am just SO PROUD to call this man President.

Absolutely incorrect. I worked for the 4th largest media company and the 2nd largest retailer in the US, among others. No one looks at adding staff and says—it’s ok because of payroll credit offsets. Those don’t begin to cover staffing expense. If the corporate tax rate rises, companies CUT expense in order to…

On the first chart, is there a reason why all the years in the period aren’t shown? For example, the first bar is labeled 1918 and the second one 1925 to 1928. What happened in 1918 to 1925?
