When the Brittany/Justin break up happened, I heard that it was due to a pregnancy scare and he didn’t behave very well about it. I guess that wasn’t the true reason, then.

Can someone explain to me why home ownership is the be all and end all? Most Europeans in cities rent and there’s no stigma with that. All that extra cash that you aren’t using for a mortgage down payment and for property taxes, repairs, etc. could, if invested wisely make you pretty comfortable later. You would…

Yes! In the 90s I had a man that I trained promoted above me and he ultimately became the head of my department. When they set up a new department, I worked on a test to make sure the department would run and when the test was over I asked the supreme boss (a known misogynist who liked to hire women with short skirts…

And as the grandmother in Malcolm in the Middle.  Everything she did was amazing.

Melania has failed to announce her plans for the future?  One would think it includes getting the best divorce lawyer she can find.

Isn’t that the Melania doppelganger?

As soon as I read the headline, I thought, “I’ll bet that stuff is made in China.”  Boy, was I surprised.

There’s a series of Christmas ghost stories published by Biblioasis in Canada illustrated by the graphic novelist Seth.  There are over 15 in the series and they release another 3 every year.  I like them because they’re small enough to be actual pocket books.

It will probably Danbury.

Since the closest I’ve come to the English upper classes is Downton Abbey and The Crown, it seems to me that those couples like to have their own bedrooms. Then again they usually have the space.

As much as I enjoyed his books, the man was a stinker, period. Patricia Neal’s autobiography laid it out quite well. Yes, he helped to rehabilitate her (in a sort of sadistic way) after her stroke and they had their share of heartache, losing one child and having another with a brain injury due to an accident. Dahl…

Sorry, but the biggest drama of the institution in the 20th Century was Edward’s abdication.

Keep in mind that in Scotland, if you’re a Scot, you get free university education.  It’s a country that is quietly enlightened.

Their taste is in their mouth.

He’s probably going to go the Kardashian route and have a family reality show.  His base would watch it.

As an aside, I’ve gotta say that her marriage is sort of unconventional. Kudos to her husband for keeping out of the limelight.  Heck, it’s lasted all these years so more power to them.

I dunno.  The most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen on TV was Trump’s speech last Thursday night.

This summer I read the old book “Cheaper by the Dozen,” based on the family life of efficiency expert Frank Gilbreth. He would have his kids bid on what were essentially one time projects - painting a fence, for example. It certainly was an effective way to teach kids about business.

Yeah, Fleming wanted David Niven. On the other hand, I read Casino Royale recently and was disturbed by all the misogynism. Given that, you’d think that Connery and Fleming would have had a rapport.

I’m surprised he remembered the boy’s name.
