My husband regularly uses “And I will reap all of the benefits.”

I could definitely see my dad doing the same. He’s still around, but I limit my contact.

Maybe he’s a lecturer or and Adjunct, i.e., someone without a PhD. Though when I was an Adjunct, I still got called Professor.

Agree - In this particular case, though, the kid was unaware what was going on. Felicity Huffman made the arrangements to change the scores without her daughter’s knowledge. There’s a passage in the indictment that talks about her worrying that the daughter would want to try again for a higher score after she saw how…

I used to have a copy of the Marlene Dietrich one; it is indeed very stylish. It also features the future Governor of Connecticut, John Davis Lodge. I thought he was so sexy until a friend mentioned, “but he looks kinda like Lemmy from Motorhead.” That ruined it for me.

His daughter.

I didn’t know that about Act Blue - thank you for sharing this bit of information. Unfortunately, I used it to donate to Heidi Heitkamp after her Kavanaugh vote last year. Not that it did any good, but still. Also, great screen name.

Noise? From a cat?

Admiral Chicken Nugget is an excellent cat name!

Yay for Commercial Paper class!

I remember those!

Thanks for this. When she said 1990s, I was like “what?! - they were big in my grade school years in the 1970s.

Shades of the sabotage of John Gilbert’s career in his first talkie!

Thank you!

Such a great film! Hard to find these days, unfortunately, as I have been wanting to re-watch it. My library had all the Anya Seaton books, since she was a local author, but no DVD!

Prices decrease when you go over the line from Westchester into Putnam County. Put Lake is really nice, but not fancy. When I lived nearby, it was considered a middle class area.

Agree - and as someone who wound up with a staph infection on her face from just everyday life/filth in NYC - believe me, you don’t want to risk that.

Anyone who posts JoAnne Worley gets a star!

So far, there’s no criminal case against her. This information came out as a result of a civil case. I imagine we may see something down the road, though. I also wonder if she was one of the cooperating witnesses from the 2008 case.

I hear you. My husband and I unsuccessfully attempted a relocation to the Twin Cities. We really liked it there, but man, the people out there are really suspicious of outsiders. One person (also a transplant) described it as, Minnesotans will give you directions to everywhere but their own home.”
