Actually, I think Straw Hat is right, and that your disagreement is a difference of opinion, not Straw Hat’s inability to understand, as you keep insisting. Who cares?

People can disagree and still “understand” why someone else does something diggerently. I thibk it’s a waste of brain power to freak out about the outdoors coming inside. I love the outdoors, piss, shit, and all. I don’t care if stuff gets tracked inside. I swep and vacuum.

It was a joke. J-o-k-e joke.

No! I love pork. So, good: more for us!

We’ll see.

“fascinating.” How about “devastating”?

Yeah, this is really bad news. It means the government WILL shut down next week, and our income will cease to exist. We contract to the government and won’t get paid at all.

Awesome, curmudgeonly post. Even though I think all is the best season. Ever.

Are you going on bra patrol now? Will you be the judge of who wears a bra and who does not? Does the wearer have any input, or do you have your specific criteria?

I’m not Jewish, and I have opinions on things. I will contribute to an open discussion on the internet even without credentials that are vetted by you.

Great movie.

They’re idiots. They even said “belie” when they meant “reveal”

Men are gross.

Yeah, don’t mind me ... I’m just bitter.

Contractors do not get paid. We just lose money for however long the shutdown lasts.

Essential services are funded. Everyone else stays home until the Republicans give in and then pretend it wasn’t their idea to begin with.

My husband is a contractor to the Feds, and 2013 absolutely sucked! He didn’t get paid at all for the days he didn’t work. At least Federal workers did - eventually.

Well, they did it in 1994 - just before Christmas. So it’s not all that “recent.”

News flash: it never was reality that nurses stood around while doctors did all the work.

Hitchens was also a misogynist asshole.
