Well, that’s not kosher! ;) The agonizing days of having to choose between pastrami and cheese are long gone for me though. I relocated outside of Philly and there are two good places for bagels - one kosher, one able to produce the deliciousness that you describe.

I was once called a “Kike” by someone who honestly thought that was just another word for Jew. (Oh no dude, never say that again. Ever. I was the first actual Jewish person he had knowingly seen. I’m surprised he didn’t check my head for horns)

I appreciate the same from you. And it’s true. I’ve been raked over the coals (to put it mildly) for being married to a cop - who is not a rapist, btw. Besides, you had a different opinion than me, thoughtfully explained yourself and we went from there. Like grownups. It’s very much appreciated on this end too.

I am totally not being snarky - I do want to thank you for your service. I agree that the fees are designed to be prohibitive to the poor, and I think that leads to the entire “well ‘they’ get illegal guns!” argument. It should be free to register. I’d rather know about a weapon than not know because it’s a financial…

I think you make salient points. My main worry comes from people who are not trained suddenly wanting to arm up because of stricter gun control. Tens of thousands of people die every year due to poor gun hygiene (for lack of calling it anything else). The police and the armed forces are trained to use them, who have…

The _Brushfire Plague_ maybe? I’m on a prepper fiction binge.

She’s brainwashed by those who have told her from birth that guns will keep her safe. Perhaps they do keep *her* safe. Gun control is for everyone, not just wives of military or police officers, etc. I have a firearm in the house when my H is off duty and no way of accessing it. Neither do my young adult sons, one of…

It’s possible to be a liberal and a patriotic American. I completely understand as we are a first responder family. Our duty is here and it does not matter what political affliction those in need happen to be. Thank you for your service and staying true to your belief system. Sometimes it would be easier to just go…

I was coming here to say this exactly. Her husband died on a gun range, working with a mentally unstable vet who suffered from PTSD. But the R’s are all “Be nice - HER HUSBAND DIED!” And no, nothing Obama did would have prevented that death and more’s the pity. Also, nothing he did would prevent her from applying for…

I will be DVRing this. I miss months of soaps while I was having chemo in my early 20s. So I watched the trial. My sons who are in their late teens think this is going to be “camp”. Maybe. It was camp at the time. Except for the whole thing about a woman and man getting murdered by OJ Simpson. Not guilty does not mean…

Same. I have two stripes, but I think they make me look old. (Gun metal gray opposed to snow white) My skin has aged well, so I can still keep my hair dark (grew up dishwater blonde, came back chestnut after chemo and stayed that way until I grayed). Single process at the salon works better than any home brand I…

Some defendants are trying to get their cases thrown out because the PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane has been disbarred. Hopefully, there will be nothing to get in the way of this trial moving forward since time is an issue here.

He has a mother? I have given birth and I can’t imagine anyone giving birth to him. There must be another way. Poor woman even gave him a bible to keep the evil away.

This is not my primary fandom (I was wearing a Doctor Who shirt because it’s part of my wardrobe, not to make a statement), but I cried most of the way through the movie. I’m 43, I grew up playing with the toys from the original trilogy and cringed through the prequels and had to let my kids grow into the idea that…

A refreshing change from the movie where Padme was wearing less and less clothes as the fight scene (where she was totally badass) went on. None of the other characters had their clothes fall off!

Soul mates. Something that apparently transcends species and gender. <3

I saw it twice, once for myself and then once to be able to watch my special needs, Star Wars universe loving son (who has Autism) enjoy himself. The second time around was almost as good. I was so focused on making sure my kid (he’s 14) had a positive experience at the movies and seeing him so wrapped up in the story…

I had the “baby alive” where you mixed goop that smelled like fruit to “feed” to the baby, then changed the diapers. So. much. fun.

I received this as my no-more diapers gift. My mother called it “the shit and spin”.

So you get it, it’s about the unborn, not the born. You matter not to the legislature now, but when you were gestating, you were guaranteed a spin on “It’s a small world”.
