it was a point of contention between people in my church growing up. My Dad got back into his episcopalian faith for a while in some very "high church" group that had incense and robes and all the magic tricks. He's back with a very small methodist group now appear to be very normal except they wonder why no kids want to join their church.

I always was the only protestant kid on my block in Livonia. I would be asked if i was going to first communion or catechism or whatever other Catholic thing and when i said I wasn't i felt left out and the other kids would ask me why i didn't believe in God. Meanwhile, the same stuff probably played out in the bible belt in reverse. Stuff like that is annoying.

I think for a while there was some believe that Billy Graham was unimpeachable but his son sure put a bullet i the family legacy.

My "like" was not that i liked that all those people died from lung disease. My dad crazily enough for having lived with my mother, is also the 94 year-old-energizer bunny. His energy and mental sharpness is amazing. He drives still across the state from Oceana County to Livonia like twice a month to deal with my handicapped brother's various appointments.

Its been happening since Saturday but still

dude is a mess of conflicting compulsory nonsense. Whatever is at the bottom of that, he's not qualified to be president except in extremis. His thwarting the coup would make him barely, barely, at the minimum level of acceptable for that standard.

He lit into Trump during his announcement. I was thrilled to watch that but he is the most borringest man on this planet of Earth.

This can't be true

In the game Civ6 you encounter the Canadian leader Wilfred Laurier and know he's not going to backstab you.

I list one of my hobbies on my CV as getting bronchitis, thanks to living in a house and driving in a car with a mother who smoked a carton a day. She smoked so much that near the end of her life she had oxygen in the house and her Directv remote had multiple cigarette burns. How her house didn't burn down is one of those things I can only attribute to blind luck. I'm at the point now that I'm almost at the point where I can call my doctors office and -- callback to an earlier thread -- they know I need antibiotics, albuterol, and benzonate.

That jomboy account is actually my personal account. I'm prolific.

I owe you a coke Randy

its pretty crunchy out there today. I can only imagine what its like in Canada and places closer than here.

as a fellow introvert i salute you

There is also an element of the "breastplate of righteousness" on the RW. Those perfect haircuts are every bit as bitchy and camp as a drag show. I mean they seem to allow openly gay guys in now that its all about the money. The closet is there but its also not.

Thinking it might impact the attendance if everyone who is susceptible to poor air quality -- that is everyone who isn't an android -- is told to stay home.

So, all outdoor activities in Northern Virginia schools and sports leagues were cancelled today due to the Canadian fires impact on air quality. Code Red. Will this impact our game tonight in Philly? It might.

Not for nothing but it was always a major strike against him in my initial repulsion of Trump that he didn't like dogs.

gawww

Gawds this is horrible

We are too good as fans for this. Detroit deserves better baseball. Detroit can afford better baseball.

Interesting thread. Lots of sobriety.

yep
