This. I'm old enough to remember when women were taught to not act too intelligent in front of men.

Also the face looks like it has either been massively altered or belongs to a wax figure.

Thanks for the tip.

I have to ask, since this show is on 3 million times a week. Who exactly is Bobby Flay and why do so many people want to beat him?

And then he turned down the heat in the White House and wore sweaters himself.

Let's not forget the Liberty Bell March. 🙂

The first image that came to my mind was the Rabbit of Seville.

I made an appointment to receive a phone call today at 12 pm EST. I also asked for a reminder text, which was to be sent 2 hours before the call. Both 10 am and 12 pm came and went, with no text and no phone call. I received the reminder text finally at 12:35. So now, who knows when or if the phone call will come. UGH.

Just got my first bandage change. My left foot looks even better than my right foot did 2 weeks in.

She probably uses the word in private conversations and forgot to switch to 'prosecute' for the interview.

Along the same lines.... it's frustrating when people are in a big hurry to get in front of you, but then slow way down. This is especially annoying when there's no-one else in sight.

Yikes! That sounds scary. I'm glad everything worked out all right. In my case I think I was still affected by anesthesia enough to not be spooked too much.

I probably should have thought twice before going on leave while the holiday and medicare advantage commercials are in full swing. Oh well. My surgery went well, and except for discovering that it was easier to learn to get around using a good left leg than a good right leg, recovery should go okay too. There was just that scary part when I fell off the scooter because the nerve block hadn't wrong off yet. Oops.

When I got my Real ID last year, I had to have not only my birth certificate and SS card, but I had to have 4 separate documents indicating that I am a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I'd only read about 3 being required before going to my appointment, so it was a matter of sheer luck that I happened to have another document with me that had the required information. I can easily see how that could prevent a fair number of people from being able to get one. There has got to be an easier way.

These may be inner city things... When utility companies suddenly start drilling in the street below your apartment before 7 am, or around/after 8 pm without any prior notice. I get that work needs to be done. It's just there are few things that give me a headache faster than a jackhammer. Bonus points if whoever's drilling accidentally hits something that knocks out power. Thankfully this doesn't really happen near me, since my street doesn't have parking available, but there were people in one of my neighborhoods who would casually load up their cars without bothering to turn off the alarm-waking up everybody in the neighborhood because of course they'd do this around 5 am.

Sounds like a mix of Colonel Flagg and Major Burns.

Thanks! I have a knee scooter left over from the last time. I'm in Boston, actually. Something tells me you'll need it yourself soon. Good luck-that sounds way more complicated than mine. I actually watched one done on a video before going through it.

Bunion surgery. I had my right foot done last year, and it was successful enough that I want the left one done now.

Best event in the history of the White House? I'm pretty sure that there are multiple historical events that will always be more impressive than turning it into a 70s style disco.

True.

I'm not convinced she's a changed person yet. It could be that she's starting to reconsider, or, more likely, that she's thinking ahead to supporting things that will enable Republicans to stay in power (at least she's saying that this would be by producing results for average Americans, so there's that). While she'll probably never be somebody I'd vote for, it would be nice to have people in Congress who are decent people I just happen to disagree with. It'll take time and results before I'm convinced.

I'm actually surprised-it sounds like he's complimenting whoever 'they' are for analyzing it well. Does that mean 'they've' been convinced to say that everything is just fine?

Lately this country has more twists than a soap opera. I wish it would at least most resemble the show Soap, but no such luck.

Got a text from work at 3 pm with a picture of stuff that 'needed to be put away now.' I work from Sunday-Thursday. So I wasn't at work today. Our work shift is 6-2:30, so even if I was at work today I would have been gone. Sigh. I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to a foot surgery-which will have me on leave for 10 weeks of much needed rest. I already had the other foot done, so I have a good idea of what's to come. Knee scooters are awesome!

As sick as it is, that is exactly how some parents react. It's not uncommon at all for a mother to stay with a man who rapes her own daughter-she either chooses not to believe it or blames her daughter. I don't understand people. I think I don't want to understand people.
