Feel free! You are welcome to come here. Lots of room. Soon to be much warmer, from what I understand.

Thanks for the clarification. It’s one I should have identified myself with more thought to the post. Apologies.

Naw. These are places that are considered “classy” higher mid-range steak houses that aim for law practice partner group parties and a good joint for brokers and financial types to hang out after work on Fridays and drink decent wine and fancy cocktails. The waitresses are not “tarty” but aim for demure, sexy yet…

Borax does a damn fine job (in combo with either white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide) of removing red wine stains, puppy barf and other sundry intractable stains on white carpet, let me tell you. Washi tape is wonderful stuff, but Borax at my house is a godsend.

I just saw footage of a baying crowd of Orthodox men surrounding a female Israeli soldier and it was chilling. I understand the reason she was there, and what they were protesting, but holy shit, this regression needs to stop.

I listened to an excellent interview quite a few years (or more!) ago with an Orthodox rabbi. His calling sex with his wife a “sacrament and tribute of joy” was a real eye opener for me. It was pretty heart warming.

But can you tell me which direction the NRA contingent needs to shoot to stop the hurricane?

My vote is for him to glitch at some major televised event so they can’t cover it up as they have been doing (I confess to a mild case of tinfoil hattery). I want a full on delusional melt down that hits all the favorites- aliens, vaccines, Illuminati, ghosts, astrology and the statement that he’s the Second Coming.…

Is it sad that I looked for the “/s” just in case you were being serious?

This is exactly how the Canadian “Harper” government shut their scientists up. It’s different now (a government biologist actually cried on the news in relief and joy when Trudeau got in), but there was a decade of scientific muzzling and literal book burning. If they are anything like the Canadian scientists, these…

If Disney says it is fine...

I firmly believe this current “political” situation is, in part, due to the fact that the many people who either survived the Nazis or fought the Nazis and survived, are no longer alive. We have the facts of history, but we have lost the immediacy and emotional history. That deep visceral rejection of Nazi principles…

Pretty sure any activity moving forward will be with the primary goal of saving one’s ass. However, perhaps some of the principles will stick, even if just for fear of repercussions (baby steps, eye roll).

Surprising, isn’t it? In the greys. Sea lioning.

Me inside my head “Please say something mean about Bush Sr and being in a wheelchair. PLEASE. Maybe do that thing you did with the reporter that one time.”

I think anything painting past presidents in a good light is going to piss him off to no end. It doesn’t fit in with his internal narrative that he’s the greatest. If he doesn’t say something in the next week about how much better he has or would have done than all of them put together, I’ll eat my hat. I think the…

I’m waiting to watch this season till after Mr Willoughby debuts and I start to read some commentary on how Mr Willoughby is portrayed. If they get it straight from the book, I can not support.

This should be one of those funny and ironic statements, but it’s true. How dreadful.

I know! I took great pleasure in thinking about how 5 ex presidents are working together to make sure Trump’s deficits and neglect do not cause even more damage. And I bet it’s KILLING him. I bet he’s trying to figure out how to upstage them any way he can. My hope is that he publicly goes for them in some way and…

My husband and I were talking about how the Las Vegas mass shooting hasn’t been mentioned at all in the last few days. And I admit, I had forgotten something that should have been considered the biggest tragedy in years before Trump came to power. Insane.
