  1. Does this mean I'm a one percenter now?
  2. Unfortunately, abuse is something that has not been unique to the US-although it has been publicized here in recent decades (not sure if that's true in other places, aside from Ireland). I'm with Oblong-judging from the people who hate this pick, I'm inclined to be hopeful.
  3. Water damage-need I say more?
  4. All of a sudden I have the song Big Yellow Taxi in my head.... and memories of a boring part of a 7th grade New England Heritage tour when we toured impressive but incredibly gaudy gilded mansions in Newport.
  5. Did his not having his hand on the Bible while taking his oath mean he doesn't have to keep it? Or does he just think he doesn't have to?
  6. Is it good or bad that I had to remind myself that you wrote this, and not the Golden Idol? In other words, nicely done!
  7. Anybody else follow White Stars, Black Sea on FB? Every April they do a history of Titanic-from preparations to set off on her maiden voyage to the hearings and all coverage of news about the disaster. I find it interesting.
  8. Sad part is, there are people who will be perfectly happy-as long as the people they hate have it worse. I'm already seeing it. 😞 Or they'll blame it on the 'elite' and go an a rampage.
  9. Looks like I won't be returning to Amazon to shop any time soon.
  10. Vegetable oil is too woke.
  11. Or it could be that MTG was testing the waters, to see how far she could go. If too many people object, she'll call us snowflakes all while claiming she was talking about something/someone else.
  12. I'm definitely confused, because I thought this was what she wanted. Or did she only want places like the People's Republic of Massachusetts to bear the brunt?
  13. I could see it happening, the same way Hitler murdered many former allies and/or factions of the Nazi party in the Night of the Long Knives.
  14. Definitely. The KKK had definite opinions on "papists" and I assume they still do.
  15. What a lovely person.
  16. Yikes! TBH this is one reason why I don't carry purses and look for clothing that has inside pockets. And that's the kind of money you would make sure is not kept all in the same place-though in any case $3000 is far more than I've ever carried on me at one time.
  17. I am pretty sure I'd prefer the next one to be chosen by Wilbur the pig or moonbeams. Or maybe it'll be given to the first person who can remove a sword from a stone?
  18. On my way to the airport to go home last Thursday, we passed a building with a lot of different kinds of aircraft outside of it. The taxi driver told me it was an Air Force armaments museum and that it was free of charge. It sucks to find out about things like this when it's too late to go visit. Oh, well.
  19. I only hope that he had encounters that were more positive after meeting with the Bedbug.
  20. I thought I remembered an example from an '87 BoSox/Yankees game, but turns out my pet peeve of bad memory failed me again. If you look at the box score you'll understand why I was laughing at the end of it, though. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198706260NYA
  21. I don't know that I hated him, just thought that he was a cartoon character. I remember rolling my eyes a couple of times, especially when he ended up in the tabloids. I'm not sure who first said this, but it sums up the way I feel: Stop making stupid people famous.
  22. And I naively thought that at least some of his biggest supporters didn't really vote for a king, but it turns out I was wrong. And you know what? People *still* think I'm overreacting about the US entering Handmaiden territory.
  23. Of course Bukele wants to keep him. He's getting paid to keep him. Keeping all of these prisoners is most likely expensive and El Salvador is a poor country-my guess is it's getting too costly to keep the prisons going without this added income.
  24. I read that recently, too. Great book that I wished was fiction.
