You can borrow mine starting in May, but I’ll need them back mid-October. Deal?

Oh. My.

Probably a fair point!

I’ve been thinking about Rob Ford lately too, but I actually feel the comparison is somewhat unfair. Yes, he was an entitled, rich boy, loose cannon, addict and a horrible choice for mayor. All that is true. But he did have more than a decade as a city councillor and, as much as he went off the rails, even his…

You’re right. It is a mark (and an acknowledgement) of privilege to be able to consider doing that.

Our place is pretty much due north of Cleveland. Let me know when you head out and I’ll make sure the kettle is on. I’ll even meet you on the dock! :)

Please don’t sneak in (we’re not really wall people, but if you push us...), but feel free to apply for refugee status.

Melania looks nice (though I would have styled her differently - a little too matchy with the ice blues). Tiffany’s coat is really nice and I would say I’d wear it, except I am waaay too much of a messy marvin to invest in a white coat. KellyAnne Conaway looks truly hilarable though!

And yes, I get that it’s funny, but it was a rhetorical choice for emphasis rather than an explanation.

I was in a US airport yesterday, and shared a restaurant table with a chatty 27 year old American woman from Seattle by way of Pittsburgh. She was lovely, friendly and shockingly, SHOCKINGLY, ill-informed. She asked me (when she learned I am Canadian) if Canada is a real state or like Puerto Rico. I explained we are a…

Saying “they’re not all heroes” is in no way the same thing as saying “they are all villains.” You’ve made what is called a false equivalency.

I hear ya. 2017 has got to be better, right? RIGHT????

So... utter speculation on your part, then. Okay.

Oh, hugs to you. I lost my grandma and my dad (her son) within months of each other in 2014. So hard, even though I was 40 and had been incredibly lucky to have my grandma in my life for that long.

Can you point to the information about the people in this article being undocumented/illegal? I must be missing it because I don’t see it here or in the article linked.

Me three!

Aw, thanks. He was a good guy. :)

Until the end of his life, my dad laughed about the wedding he and my mom were at where the bride and groomed danced to Lucille (“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. With four hungry children…”). That gave him chuckles for probably 3 decades.

43, and yep, RIP Sassy!!

That’s the short list. It was completely open to any woman, dead at least 25 years, that anyone wanted to nominate. If you’ve never heard of any of the others, particularly Pauline Johnson, that’s on you.
