I feel your pain, Tex. I have relatives (RELATIVES) who have swallowed Fox News point of view without question now for 20+ years. It is heart breaking. Like talking to someone in a cult. 

I find a dog to be an excellent peanut butter jar cleaner.

I love their names! You don’t need a lot of smarts if you are as cute as a geko! I’m sure they will make dandy financial advisers!

I’m going to guess some annoying human - probably teen male(s) are responsible. 

btw love your handle

let’s put googly eyes on it! 

I agree, our biggest weapon is our annoying, but seductive consumer culture

it is hard for me to look at all those rows of people in identical outfits without thinking of the old classic, kitty city:

Such a timely article! Thank you! I’m taking the train to Greensboro this weekend from Raleigh. It is an 1.5 hr drive, 1 hour train ride. The train is $15 one way, I’d put about $20 in my tank given gas prices this week here. So noot noot to train rides!

Congrats to them all...and selfishly a shout out to my all time fav MacArthur recipient, Rhiannon Giddens. A truly wonderful artist, performer and humanitarian.

I think, perhaps if you never want to be contacted by offspring your sperm created - don’t donate sperm. Get a vasectomy immediately. Privacy forever with no shame or blame. 

30 years to late for my beloved Super Beetle, Fred the Wonder Car. I’d like to volunteer my 05 Scion XB as the next conversion. I adore this car- I’d love for it to be more environmentally sensitive. 

Loved that show - my husband and I still always diagnose every car problem as a problem with the ‘blen-doour’ (Blend Door as rendered in our fake Boston accents).

I love creepers! 

I know what you mean - i’ve had a lot of modern dancer friends over the years and holy cow are they strong - no one can do more one handed push-ups than those women. And they come in all shapes and sizes. 

I think it is usually spelled toney. It means affluence, as in high-tone.

Meh, I find his work boring and predictable. I’ll be skipping this one. 

QUISSLINGS!

NC State Farmer’s Market (1201 Agriculture St. - which is off Lake Wheeler Road) has tons of locally grown vegetables, meats, dairy, sea food from the coast, baked goods, cut flowers, pickles, hand made soaps and crafts, plants, and seasonally xmas trees, pumpkins and what have you. I can get lamb chops or exotic…

With the exception of Deliverance, (and maybe a few other films) rape-entertainment is always at the expense of women. That’s my beef. But, I am not a fan of ultra-painful gore-fests like Saw, or Se7en already.
