Kids make it harder, of course, but if your husband is European (EU, but not UK), you do potentially have a lot of options! That’s a huge bonus, as I’m sure you’re well aware. 

I’m glad you’re out in streets and writing your congresspeople daily- so few are. 

I like the Sure Thing too and also haven’t seen it in a while. But, as memory serves, it’s sexual politics aren’t that bad, especially for the time? The Cusack character is 18 and wants to sleep with women in college- not outrageous. He’s not shown getting them drunk or lying to them other than having some bad lines…

Jesus

On a day when my niece’s school was mercifully empty of students for an in-service, a guy went to the school across the street and killed 6 people, more were injured. Some were killed in the street between the two schools. She was only 11, and to this day, I don’t know exactly what her internal thoughts are about it.…

“Liberals” having been pushing for stronger gun laws for decades (at the least). 

I think they hope to motivate people who already agree to take action. 

It really depends on your work/skills/degrees and how important it is to live in an English speaking and/or developed country. I left in 2017 for South East Asia. Some countries here are much easier to live and work in permanently than others. They are all inexpensive compared to the States. I live and teach in…

I make my own yogurt. It’s far more expensive than milk where I live, is the easiest thing in the world to do, and tastes much better than store bought yogurt. 

There’s a Theodore Roethke poem that starts, “I knew a woman, lovely in her bones...” 

I’ve been holding out hope about actors not being able to see the audience for years. Several years ago I was supposed to fly to a festival and the first flight was delayed which caused us to miss the connection. We had to rent a car and I drove 7 hours to get there. The first and most anticipated play started an hour…

Mel Brooks re-made To Be or Not to Be

All the main Nazis in Hogan’s Heroes were played by Jewish men who had lived through the experiences of the war. Klink, Schultz, and Burkhalter were all played by Jewish men who had escaped Germany or Austria just before the war. Only Leon Askin (Burhalter) had been imprisoned by the Nazis as far as I know. Hochstater…

It’s true that Werner Klemperer who played Klink took the role on approximately those conditions, but his family was able to leave Germany before the war. You may be thinking of Robert Clary (LeBeau) he was in Buchenwald where many members of his family were killed. Schultz and General Burkhalter (John Banner and Leon…

Closely related to the girls who suffer from the ‘having breasts’ syndrome- those hussies. How dare they walk around in the their bodies, like their just anybody. 

If someone is taking a picture solely of a person’s backside and then distributing to comment on how ‘inappropriate’ their swimsuit it, it’s a creepy pic. 

I got in the dumbest argument on this site with a couple of women insisting that thong style underwear are all about sexualizing yourself and that NO ONE could possibly wear them for comfort. I could not convince them that for many of us, full backs just migrate and therefore thongs are a much better ‘fit.’ If you…

Schools don’t pay for stuff like that (sport/band/etc uniforms), the student/their parent does.

A really interesting read, thanks!

If you’re uncredited, you’re nothing. The only uncredited something’s are people who were on the Black List or are brought in to script doctor- they are all well known people with a significant back catalog.
