No one is saying they aren’t smart. They appear to be very smart—within their field of expertise. It’s when they get outside of that that there is a problem.

Oh, the chemicals thing annoys me and a person with her education should really know better. As the joke goes, chemicals make up everything. So, no matter what you do, you are putting chemicals into your child. Unless maybe you starve and suffocate them.

My niblings were 1, 3, and 10 when this happened, so probably only the oldest has any memories from it and those are probably fuzzy.

The food is meh, but the restaurants, in my experience, have always had a greasy feeling when you go in. Like they never really clean, just surface stuff. I’d rather have Denny’s or IHOP. (I do seem to remember one in Atlanta that seemed brighter--and bigger--than the ones I’m used to, but I didn’t eat there, I just…

I had to look that up. I’ve lived in OK all my life and never heard of Boise City. Turns out, it’s in the panhandle. That explains it. Only, like, 10 people live in the panhandle.

Wha-huh?

Spousal testimonial privilege (commonly known as spousal privilege) is something different than marital communications privilege, though. I thought you were talking about the first.

That is addressed in the article.

They need to either grant full approval or not remove EUA for Moderna if they are going to start recommending boosters. My understanding is that you should get the booster from the same vaccine your first two were for because mixing and matching could have unpleasant (though not dangerous) side effects. 

Spousal privilege isn’t about their communication being private like doctor/patient or priest/confessor or lawyer/client. Spousal privilege means a person cannot be compelled to testify against their spouse. They can testify if they want to, but they can’t be forced to. The point is to protect marriages by keeping the…

I mean, I totally think people need to mind their business and not disparage sex workers, but I agree with you, it’s not appropriation. Anyone who does it as a hobby and then says, “Oh, but I’m not a stripper!” sucks and needs an attitude adjustment, but they aren’t appropriating. 

My 72 year old mother (who is 4'11" and has worn 6" heels all her life) has had two hip replacements. Her knees are probably next.

When I was a kid, I used to listen to all my dad’s 45s (for you whippersnappers, that’s a single record with an a and a b side and it played on the record player at 45 rpm, hence, a 45.) He had a lot of Everly Brothers. He also had one of their albums (I forget which one.) Even though this was the 70s, they are…

More of a serial killer, though. Mass murderers kill a lot of people at once.

I was thinking about Crossing Jordan the whole time! I liked her a lot in that.

It was *violent* crime that didn’t go up. 

My full name is Kimberly and I *hate* when people put an e before the y or, worse, Kimberleigh. No. (Especially since that makes it longer and Kimberly is already long enough.)

I scrolled down and my first thought was, “Oh my god!” 

How can they compare them when they can only see one of them? The whole point is that the regular grocery stores and even Walmart are too far away for the people to use them, so they go to the dollar store instead and think they are getting a deal when they are not.

I couldn’t even see my own gray comment that someone replied to once. I could see it in my discussions, but not in the article. And I’m gray, so I don’t expect a response.
