LOL using nicotine = being a thoroughbred?

I had an “Ella, you a bad monkey,” moment when I saw Monkey Shines, years ago, and some guy who had been cackling uncontrollably, suddenly yelled the above phrase at Ella, the Capuchin monkey when she electrocutes her owner’s mother.

thank you for the kitties:)

Some people do not age at the same rate. My partner’s family is very long-lived. His mum was still working a physically demanding job at 70, and his much-older sister just retired @ 72.  His mom is still sharp as a whip, and she’s pushing 90.

I love the Canada ad; as much as it pains a Canadian to be bragging (just a little), you should revel, Sarah:)

Lana-bb,

Hey, 65 is the new 55, doncha know?

I’ve been using Amlactin for years. It is a mild lactic acid lotion. It stung the first few times I used it, but my skin looks great (I look about a decade younger than I am), and my weird tiny eczema patch on my chin cleared up after I started using it in my late 20s.

Now that you mention it, Bruce does have dilated eyes, which can mean he’s content and excited, or it could mean he’s anxious (or even that he’s sick—I hope the rescue does regular bloodwork on the kitties).

I think she went to Mexico for the surgery

I love the look of long-nosed breeds: greyhounds, std. poodles, salukis, afghans, whippets, borzois.

Me, too.

Oh, Bruce: “J’ai la lassitude du monde.”

yeah, I remember reading The Good Earth and wondering why the main female character was looked down on because she had big feet (and then reading up on foot binding).

I have seen none of these. My Letterbox’d watch list has now grown.

This is a bit off topic, but one of my great aunt’s neighbors had her little toes surgically removed all the better to fit in pointy-toed high heels. As a kid, I was fascinated by and terrified of her damaged feet and scared of high heels (what kind of shoes require the hacking off of toes?).

I have only seen part of If Footman Tire.

Wow. What an obscure reference—my hat is off to you.

he’s saving his energy for carrying the big suitcases full of money for schlocky movies.

You’all are sidestepping the key issue, which is that the under-18 crowd is taking up vaping at an alarming rate. So, instead of being a key element of harm reduction for adults shifting to vaping from smoking, teen vaping = creating a whole new population of nicotine addicts.
