Try Dearborn, MI.  Largest concentration of Middle Eastern immigrants outside of the actual Middle East.  I grew up near there and have never found it’s equal.

The best part of this show is Gordon Ramsey. I love how when he’s dealing with adults that really should know better, he’s absolutely brutal in his criticisms and on point with insults. With kids, he’s super supportive and nice. He takes all the effort he expends in tearing the adults down and uses it to build kids…

Nothing is more cathartic on a road trip than turning the page on the TripTik.  Around a big city, you could flip 3-4 pages in less than an hour and you really felt like you were getting somewhere.  Never mind the next page covered a 200 mile long stretch of crop land with nowhere to stop but the Hills Have Eyes…

You’re half right. She’ll hire the nanny, then either:

If it starts to look like he’ll lose, he’s going to bail on the race to “concentrate on his business” or something else.  Most likely, this will happen after the convention, leaving the party in the lurch.  This way, he can still claim he didn’t lose.

My kids complain about the short rotation of breakfasts on school days. I made the shaksuka last night and everyone kept wandering into the kitchen asking “what smells so good?” I stopped short of adding the eggs and put the whole pot into the fridge. In the morning, I heated it up and let the eggs poach.

I worked in the auto industry in SE Michigan a number of years ago. I remember when Ford tried to implement the Blue Oval dealers to differentiate the high performers. The sucky dealers howled it wasn’t fair they were being held to standards and expected to perform. Ford watered down the requirements and just about…

No dumbshit. It has nothing to do with fucking Joe Biden or any other prominent Democrat and little to do with union busting laws passed in states.

My sister-in-law drowns everything in ranch dressing. EVERYTHING! Baked potato - ranch.

The problem is, now other bad actors know the US will not honor it’s commitments. As much as everyone bitched about the payments made to Iran in exchange for the nuclear deal, we made a promise and honored it. That’s what honorable parties in a contract do. By failing to live up to our part of the bargain, it’s…

I haven’t dug into the story, but how they handled it is the rub. If they brought their own food, quietly asked for an empty plate, put the vegan meal on it and ate & chatted away, I would think it’s no big deal. If the vegan in question made a show of their special meal in tupperware (BPA shame on them!), threw a fit…

Self Check-out/ express:

While I like your taco recipe, I use my chuck in barbacoa. Throw it in the slow cooker with adobo, lime juice, cumin, cloves and let if percolate all day.  Great to come home to in the evening.

My older two kids were in the prime vaccination age when all the anti-vaxx started. I was really worried about it. So I did research into both sides, beyond just listening to someone who came into the public consciousness for looking good naked. With very little research, I found the risks weren’t as bad as the…

I’m pretty darn Catholic, and it comments like this that give all of us who are open about and care about our Christianity a bad name. I just don’t understand how anyone can use the words “Trump” and “bible” in the same sentence without them being joined by “pissed on a”. I’ve got to believe the holy water starts to…

I’ve used that term since I was young and never thought about it having any connotation. A quick google and, yeah, I don’t think I’ll use that term anymore.

I would like to think this is less about criminality and more about worth. In Trump’s mind, he’s built his assets up so much as an extension of his self-worth that if something were to deflate that, it would be much worse than any crimes committed to get there.

I think it also need to be backed up with a ban on moving directly to lobbying.  Anyone who is elected to a national office or appointed to a Senate reviewed post needs can’t work in a government facing role for the same number of years they were employed by the government.  Spend 20 years in the House, 20 years on…

I created an account to give Fortnight a try because my kids loved it. I didn’t, so I just stopped playing. I started getting a crap-ton of failed login emails. Apparently, someone in Jakarta really wants to be me, but two-factor kept them out of the account. It took forever to get Epic to respond to cancellation…
