So, it’s bad to think about what you wrote? That explains a lot.

I dislike Macy’s immensely. But, I live in Chicago where they took the the beautiful Marshall Fields and turned it into an ugly, gaudy nightmare. Seriously, it had been so elegant and beautiful, and then Macy’s came in and turned it into a red, black, and silver nightmare. It looks like a “bachelor pad” from a…

I would rather keep him in Congress, too. It’s admirable he says he would quit Congress, but I think we need him there more.

I think Ellison would be great. My only issue is that he already has a full-time job - Congressman. The DNC chair needs to make this his full-time job, at least for now. Until we get our shit together, the person who is doing this job needs to be devoted to it completely, no half-time DNC chair, half-time…

All I want out of life is a front porch with a swing. And a nice screened in back porch.

I’ve always loved this safety chart:

Hmmm. If I lived someplace with a yard where I could hang the pillow up on a clothes line for the day, I might be willing to try it. Alas, I live in an apartment in the city with zero outdoor space :( I guess I’ll have to keep sleeping with my nasty pillows.

Really?! That sounds like fun!

Yep. They call it an ice bridge. People snowmobile from St. Ignace to the island. I’ve driven a car on the Saginaw Bay before.

There is a lot of uninhabited shoreline in Michigan that is also unsecured. And there aren’t ICE patrols on Lake Huron...it would be easy enough to sail across and come ashore without the government knowing.

It’s not a crime, it’s a matter of perception.

I have Tempur-Pedic pillows. I don’t think I can wash them without ruining them. And they were expensive, so they will not be washed

Why do they even have to talk - other than to tell me the weather and any traffic/train delays? Play music, tell the weather and traffic. Boom! Do people like their ridiculous antics?

I have tried and tried to tell my friends that. The neighborhood schools for 2 couples I know here in Chicago are both good. They aren’t Bell School, but they have engaged principals, teachers, and parents and pretty good test scores. Everything is good, and honestly, would get better if more parents send their…

I have a fancy DVR, but I only have basic cable, which doesn’t include TBS :(

I flew Etihad to India 5 years ago - it was great!

I used to think that, but a very good friend of mine who is Indian lives in Ann Arbor, and the shit that has been said to her the last year is crazy. Ann Arbor is supposed to be a bastion of liberalness, and she has people calling her names because they assume she’s Muslim because of the color of her skin and telling…

Oh my god, I love them. I want them to live with me.

She wasn’t confirmed yet - the Senate panel just voted to allow her nomination to go to the full Senate. There’s still time.

That’s funny! My mom actually is voting more liberal lately because we talk about politics all the time and unmake her think about what will actually happen vs. what the politicians say they will make happen. So, she’s really more paranoid about the FBI watching her. She’s so silly.
