I was gonna ask if they made allowances for more fucks now. Because I could have sworn in the 90s, you only got 1 fuck and anymore got you bumped to R, but I might also have just misunderstood the rules.

Worse than Moby Dick? 🤣😆
Lord yes. At least you get to learn a lot about whales in Moby Dick, and Captain Ahab livens things up way more than Christian ever dreamed of. LOL
I also love the line "'I will have no man in my boat,' said Starbuck, 'who is not afraid of a whale'” and think about it a lot, as one does. 😂

I assume this is the post. It’s from 3 days ago on her Instagram.
Thank you! That was the first thing I found when I googled, but then I couldn't find their post to confirm it was the same thing.
I have a master's degree in English, and Pilgrim's Progress is easily one of the most boring classics I've ever endured. LOL Hopefully the kids' book is better.

Ben the Rapper is reading a book to the kids using various voices. A Christian based (scary-ish) book from the Pilgrim Series geared toward young children.
To give credit where credit is due, the Seewald children have likely been read to more than the Duggar children and Duggar grandchildren combined.
And yes Jessa is shilling it.
Where did they post this? I went looking and can't find it, but I am deeply curious about whether they're based on Pilgrim's Progress.

Agreed. I know sometimes people are trying to be well-meaning and just blurt out awkward things as a result, but after my uncle was killed in a tragic car accident a few years ago, I grew so tired of people trying to be philosophical about it. The best condolence I received was from a family friend who said something along the lines of "This is just terrible. I'm so sorry it happened. I don't know what else to say, but if you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know."

I have indoor sneakers.
Too much shoe for my taste inside, but if I had to pick between sneakers or slippers, I would pick the sneakers.

I don't understand why do people make it into an issue of outdoor shoes vs. bare feet like those are the only two options. Do they not sell slippers in the US or what?
I know people who do, including some relatives, but I don't wear slippers myself. I always found them super uncomfortable. I have big feet, too, so the idea of spending even more time finding something to fit doesn't appeal to me. 😂

My American family is a mix of both. I run around barefoot all the time because I'm a hillbilly. My grandparents are hillbillies too, but since they didn't have money for shoes growing up, shoes are a point of pride for them, and it baffles them that I don't wear them much.

I'm also assuming that UK readers can still order editions from other countries. I've bought UK editions of books before from Amazon and had them shipped to me in the US. (Mainly if the book is released there first because I have no patience or chill when I really want to read something. LOL)

my mom was born on a farm in the tiniest of towns in OK, in the 30s, hence no record of her birth)
There's also not a birth certificate for one of grandma's aunts, who was born in the early 40s in the middle of nowhere in NC. I think it was to get a social security card, but for some document, she had to take her mother to the courthouse to confirm she was born on her birthday to her parents.

Here jury duty is done 6 months at a time. I've never been summoned. My brother was last year, but he was never called during his 6 month period. A lot of people I talk to here say they get called but then never have a trial. I had assumed he would, though, because there was a murder trial scheduled during that time, but the trial fell apart after someone stopped cooperating. I guess they didn't have much evidence beyond that.
My grandparents have both been called over the years. My grandmother tried to warn them that my grandfather was profoundly hard of hearing, but they insisted that he still had to show up for selection. After about a minute of interacting with him, they told him he was excused. LOL

I used to deliver library books to the nursing home, and 2 of the residents were sworn enemies over something that happened over bingo. I never did hear what it was, but God they hated each other. I didn't dare tell them that they had similar reading taste and were just swapping the same James Patterson books back and forth between each other. 😂

Yeah, it is really fun.
I was listening on my earbud and I think I cackled out loud during one scene in Target and a person looked at me like they were sure I was about do something crazy.
It was a scene where the mean dragon, Ajax Nightwhisper, was trying to intimidate Birdie into abandoning Jim and he had her arrested (the Dragons had some cops in their pockets...)
So she gets arrested:
LOL.
Bahahaha that's great! Your description of the dragon wanting to blend in with the locals and root for Bama was cracking me up before a Zoom meeting.
I wonder if any rogue dragons want to adopt my poor long-suffering Razorbacks and become a Hogs fan. We need all the help we can get. 😂

I just read Dragon Heist by Alexander Kane and it was a fun, fun ride.
It is exactly what it says, a heist book with Dragons! The main character is a washed up former child star named Birdie Binkowitz who works for her dad in his store hilariously called 'Binkowitz Seed and Feed And Bagels'
When she was a 'star' she was a major asshole. Now she is super snarky and just a little mean and has been banned from every bar in the greater metro area. In this world, Dragons are like mafia clans who own and control territory. In this book we meet a lone Dragon named Jim who wants to take over Tuscaloosa from a bigger and meaner clan of dragons. He inveigles Birdie into helping him in heist to steal some of the horde of a dragon he has a beef with.
In true heist story fashion, they assemble a crew and plan their theft. The story has a huge humor quotient, especially Birdie. Also it takes place in Alabama and Jim just wants to be a local and root for the home team, Roll Tide!
I listened on audio and the narrator was fantastic.
I've never heard of this, but it sounds awesome! I'm a sucker for a good heist story.

So did I. He never got off his soap box. I liked Winchester better because there were more sides to him. My favorite character was Klinger. He was so funny.
Yeah he was super preachy, and I also thought he was one of the worst actors on the show.
But the side characters were great. I loved Radar, Potter, Father Mulcahy, etc.

I really liked The Good Wife, too., especially the seasons before Archie left. It was sharp and funny and the characters were well-rounded people who were basically likeable but had their flaws. The writing was witty and incisive. I also love Christine Baranski in just about anything.
Yes and it had some interesting, thought-provoking material about a range of social and legal issues. I never did finish the 7th season.
SpoilerI never got over Will, though the aftermath of his death is one of the best depictions of grief I've ever watched.
I want to be Diane when I grow up! She was one of my favorites.

I watch a lot of cable prestige drama, and I still maintain that season 5 of The Good Wife is one of the best seasons of television ever made.

I do too. I'd heard for years how groundbreaking it was, but when I finally tried to watch it, I found Archie absolutely insufferable. Every episode to me was like enduring some unpleasant family Thanksgiving dinner from hell, and I usually like crazy family sitcoms. I also know way too many people who genuinely love the show because they think Archie just tells it like it is to find it successful as satire.

CBS does really play it safe, but once upon a time amidst all the NCIS knockoffs, they also had The Good Wife and Person of Interest. I always wondered if they weren't paying attention to what was happening with those shows because they--particularly the later seasons--seemed to have wandered in from a different plane entirely and were quite unusual for network TV.

His claim he was directing his comments at the Goldman attorneys rather than the family was quite the feat of logic. Who does he think the attorneys are representing?

OJ's executor/lawyer is also backtracking on his earlier statement that he'd make sure the Goldman family will get nothing from the estate.

Maybe, but at the same time I'm not a professional armorer, and even I know not to leave guns lying in the dirt and/or carry them around under my arms, much less pose with them so I can look like a badass. It's been said repeatedly, but Guitterez was supposed to be in charge of making sure the weapons were safe for use, regardless of what else she was doing on the set. Don't you have to have some kind of training or a qualification certificate to do that kind of work? I don't know enough about that part of the industry to be certain, but her father has been in the business for years.
Oh I agree 100%. I don't know the ends and outs of being an armorer, but I've lived around firearms all my life. She violated really basic rules of safety. I would have had some sympathy for her if she was clearly just scattered/rushed due to being overwhelmed by having 2 jobs. But I think her actions go way beyond that, and I don't think she would have been any safer if she'd been doing only one job. I think the fact she was the only one willing to take it on goes beyond a question of experience and is indicative of how un-safety-minded she is. Because that's what the other armorers pushed back on--it's dangerous to have your armorers focused on anything but the weapons. She didn't seem to care.

I was amazed that even after knowing the judge had listened to those jailhouse calls, Gutierrez still kept blaming everyone else when she gave her final statement. Unreal.
It really is. I'd wondered if this might be a teachable moment for her. But based on her behavior, I'm thinking that's going to be a no. Maybe she will gain some clarity in prison, but I doubt it.

"Oh HELL No!": TV Moments That Make You Irate
in Everything Else TV
That makes sense--thank you! It also dawned on me that I might have been thinking of how basic cable seemed to have a one fuck per season rule about 10-15 years ago. Or at least AMC did because I remember Mad Men and Breaking Bad showrunners talking about being very artful in how they used it each season. LOL
