If he hired a tutor, he would probably be too busy “studying” for the next lesson.

I thought I read somewhere that he had wanted universal health care because many members of his family had had tb. But overall I think Nixon’s mental issues, shadiness and what I would have to call sadism, overshadow any good he might have done.

I pick up old restaurant dishes when I’m in a thrift store. It’s the only type of china that actually looks better after having been in the dishwasher. Even use it for the holidays.

I’m so happy to hear that someone is happy with their crocs. I’ve had troubled feet on and off since middle school and when I found these thought I found heaven. Easy to get on and off when I get in the house and my feet didn’t hurt. I even got my husband to wear them. The only thing that i’m not crazy about-and one…

Thank you for you thoughtful response and for validating my feeling about Crash and The Blind Side. Crash seemed like an after school special and The Blind Side was another magical white person coming to the rescue. I still watch the Oscars but I really don’t know why. 

It seems to me that 50 60 years ago popular films were nominated and won best picture. Am I wrong? As someone nearing 60, I keep getting the nagging feeling that there’s been a growing divide in nominated films and popular films. Is this a combination of the types of films made and the people currently in the film…

A friend sent me this blog post from a few years ago. It’s from a woman that worked with her on her show. Roseanne needs some serious therapy/meds. And after reading it, I’m disappointed in John Goodman as well.

I noticed the same thing about mood. Also, joint pain was dialed down quite a bit. As for burping, I noticed some brands didn’t do this-Jarrow brand-and the lemon flavored non capsuled didn’t bother me.

A couple of years ago my mother-in-law was in a suburban hospital and I was bitten while sitting in the family lounge area. Beautiful waiting area with bed bugs in the couch.

We grew up in the city and they had nowhere to store it. Purchased it at the Volunteers Of America car auction and it was a fun adventure.

I don’t know. A well built one will be ok. Two of my sister-in-laws bought a 20+year old motorhome back in the early 90's and kept it for a season and we all had a blast. 

omfg! Guess I should have reread that one!

Well, kids from the gulf coast. You get a dozen and throw the carcasses onto some newspaper...also, crab gumbo.

Perhaps a big bowl and use the bottom of a coffee mug to smash them?

Having to do with manners...don’t make fun of people with extra curly hair. Before menopause and extra dose of thyroid problems, my hair was probably 3b range. When my colorist-I was mainly there for color-would brush out my dry hair and it would puff out all around, I would get titters from her and a few of the…

It looks hilarious and also-fuck Sesame Street. I watched Sesame from the time it was on. I was living in a “central city” neighborhood with my grandmother and the show reminded me of it. Now that it’s become suburban street and moved to HBO...it’s on, Sesame Street. Given ‘em hell!

Buy yourself an electric “multi cooker” aka Instant Pot. I sometimes soak the beans and if I don’t it just takes longer. I’m a little add so the pot is set it and kind of forget it. The pot is also good for beets, potatoes, rice, etc. so it’s not something just for one dish. But it has been game changing in my cooking…

“their weird kid.” I bet you money that the parents are weird as hell.

Since this guy is accosting strangers, can he be picked up and taken in for observation? I feel threatened and I’m not even in the same state.

One of the early chapters in Angela’s Ashes had the father doing this exact same thing with one of his newborns. From what I recall, it was one of the few constructive things the father did.
