Where are y’all finding bootcut and flares? The few pairs I have left from when they were “in” are wearing out fast and I need some new ones.

“Wind-driven rain” vs. “flood” damage. It makes a difference. I did some work on those cases.

I thought the same thing - so he thought Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor wasn’t beautiful? That she wasn’t multi-dimensional? He wrote the character, so maybe he should have done better. He shouldn’t put his baggage on Wonder Woman.

Exactly. Plus, the need “the substance” in order to be brought back to life if they die/or remain immortal (I don’t think it was clear which one it was - like they could use the substance and nothing could kill them maybe?) It was especially urgent for Alexandra since she had been diagnosed with some sort of…

Maybe. If they could just use their words and say what their issue with her was, then it wouldn’t be such a mystery. I just don’t accept, “I just don’t like her!” as a reason.

I know so many white women -of all ages- who absolutely loathed Hilary. And they couldn’t articulate why. They just didn’t like her. I’ve always been ambivalent towards her - she’s a politician just like any other. My mom was one of those women. Eventually I decided that what bugged them was that Hilary was one of…

The right to free speech only applies to governmental entities. This concerns the right to privacy.

I’m not sure about our kids saving the world, but I do agree that Gen X has a lot of blame in this whole mess. We have just let Baby Boomers continue to run things into the ground, heads down, hoping to just get out in one piece. That’s not enough. We need to take a stand.

But not everyone lives for their jobs and wants to work intense hours. They want work/life balance. There has to be a middle ground so that you can work your long hours if you choose, but everyone else isn’t penalized for your choices.

Many people with sleep apnea are overweight, it isn’t a pre-requisite. I am slightly overweight, hardly snore, but I have mild sleep apnea. It has to do with the shape of my jaw and the soft tissue in the back of my throat ( apparently it is all flabby - they haven’t told me if there are weight lifting regimens to…

If you tell Siri that she is useless to you, she’ll reply, “That wasn’t very nice.”

No, I mean employing techniques recommended by therapists. I have OCD. I have to do things like this so that I don’t have a complete breakdown. I take medication, and it takes the edge off, but it is still there. And will always be. Being alive and trying to interact with society “feeds” the problem. But thanks…

This is addressing her neurosis.

I think there is a sub-category that is a combo of 2 and 3 - single, middle-aged women who have accepted their spinsterhood and are fine with it, but still want their own house. I fall squarely in this group. And I think it makes sense to have a smaller home. There are a lot of single women, and while apartment living…

I love the ones that are 600-800 sq ft- they have proper bedrooms and a decent sized bathroom. They are the perfect size for me and my cat.

Yeah, I think the problem is all the generalizations. Like, people from the Midwest aren’t adventurous regarding foods...I laughed when wild game and other “poor people food”* starting becoming popular for restaurants to specialize in. Sorry, poor people have been eating ALL the animal for centuries. Waste not,…

I love the Taco Bell/KFC combos. So I can get my Mexican Pizza minus meat AND a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s nirvana.

Your experience is my experience. The conversations I have with my family/friends in my hometown, versus friends where I live is so, so different. And when I try to just be me - meaning talk about the things that interest me - people from my hometown look at me me like I just beamed down from a spaceship. They used…

No. Marius and Cosette were not good either. To be honest, Hugh Jackman was a big disappointment too.

Where “black-on-black” crime is an issue - like Chicago - it is talked about. There have been conversations about it for years. And as someone pointed out already, people asking why we don’t talk about it derails the conversation we are trying to have. Which is about police brutality and racism. It also completely…
