I’ve just discovered a vacation place in England, called Sandy Balls, after one of my cousins was tagged in pictures. The post isn’t public, so they can’t be doxxed by my mentioning it. Sandy Balls. There are two new generations of my family, and I’ve never met them. My other cousin’s son is now in his thirties, and he has two babies of his own.

We're semi-rural, and this was in a town fifteen minutes away. It did come out of a canal. I suppose I should have moved this to the other chit chat thread. Sorry.

I don't think it was a newfoundland, but it was a reminder to be more careful out there. :)

We have apparently had bears in the area, but I've never actually seen one. except for one that I think was ahead of us on the trail at a park. It's a long trail, that stretches through counties. It came out of the water, and the trail was drenched. It was almost dark, so I thought it was a massive dog, at first, and we held back because our dog is reactive. They've had paw prints from bears, in the snow around the trails, in the past. We throw food out for raccoons and possums, all the time. I've never thought about it attracting bears, too. We saw birds eating meat out of a saucepan that dad left outside. I threw bread out, and they ate that too, but they were loving the meat.

I don't know what this is referencing, but does this mean that trump - who is supposedly fighting the "deep state" - is actually deep, deep state? lol.

I've been able to swear. I don't know what the word was. The name of an actress is censored, because her last name is also a slur, which is unfortunate.

I haven't seen any memes about Noem. Only the one picture of her standing in front of the people who shouldn't be in that prison in El Salvador.

We don't want the MAGA ruckus in OUR country.

I have the app, and it shows backwards and forwards arrows, on either side of the play triangle. I usually watch on my roku, on the TV, but re-watch on my ipad.

I am wondering if it’s Akilah, just because they’ve shown her to be more calculating, than previously shown. But then again, the question would still be, “why now?”

I am begging you to please stop applying this line of thought to me. I am a nerd. I dropped out of school, due to bullying. I studied things for fun, when I was out of school. I was initially bullied at school, because I had to get glasses. I play video games. I have had virtually no life, for as long as I can remember, and aside from personal hells, poverty was a big part of that. These fucking people voted away my rights, and if we lose dad’s social security (fucking elon, and trump), we could be homeless. He uses it to pay the mortgage.

It sounded like she had a therapist, who was just like Lottie. Well, not *just* like her, but you know what I mean Now I’m wondering what Callie did with the note. I don’t like the thought of her doing this to her own mother, but she did try to blackmail her, after she caught her in the city, with Adam.

But a lot of them weren’t that educated, or they didn’t care (like the rich people who will only gain from this presidency). And they have called us names for years. but I’m not doing this again. I am not in a good place, and I argued with a former friend last week, and again earlier this week, because she was fucking cruel.

I still feel like Walter is shady, but Shauna is showing that she’s fine with murder in the present timeline. I actually felt bad for her, as Melissa was mocking her life, because I hate it when people do that. But then she eats her flesh, to prove a point. To remind her of who she was. I hope she doesn’t kill her. I think it was incredibly dumb of Melissa to send that tape to her. It seems like she was ready to blow up her own life, in some respects, because she knows who Shauna is. I don’t know if she’s lying about the phone. Could it be Mari? That just seems so extra, even for this show. Or Walter, messing with her. But how could Melissa take that chance, given her wife, and her daughter? She heard about them being at Lottie’s cult. She knew that Nat was killed. That isn’t the time to send notes, and tapes of a crime you committed twenty-five years ago. I don’t think there is ever a good time to do that. Jeff providing the comic relief, but also coming back to reality for Callie. Being a good dad. Actually talking about the situation, and listening to her. I didn’t like that he called Shauna crazy, to those guys who showed him such contempt, but I did like that he said she wasn’t dull. I did not like Shauna telling the young group, that they couldn’t leave. You don’t get to decide that they can’t get rescued. But of course, she is not healthy. I wonder if Nat will leave, anyway. If Van will tell her about the map. I wonder if Akilah is dealing with symptoms from that gas poisoning. Or if she is seeing things, if Shauna will kill the animals. Tai jumps to “we’ll have to kill them” just like Misty. Or OtherTai did.

Jesus Christ, Shauna. But also: wtf Melissa? You know what she’s capable of, and you fucking taunt her? Guess who made the mistake of eating something, in the last few minutes of the show? Ugh.

This just had me saying "What the fuck?!". Really. What the fuck? https://apnews.com/article/trump-smithsonian-executive-order-improper-ideology-558ebfab722f603e94e02a1a4b06ed4d Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding to programs with ‘improper ideology’ Don't ask me why I'm shocked. I don't know why. They are taking industrial strength drills to rock bottom.

"It's called friendship." "But what do I get out of it?" Douchebag! In the pilot, I thought he was into her, but she didn't seem to be into him at all. He was the one there, telling her that her dog was dead, and supporting her through it. I also wish they'd just let us know who was dead, a lot earlier. We still don't know, and they were at a fancy party, so all of the men would have been wearing good shoes. Does Catherine even know what her husband does for a living? He had "his people" rough up her affair partner, and he has cameras all over the house, spying on her. That isn't healthy. It all started, because he was checked out of their relationship. I don't know how she's supposed to trust him, if she doesn't know what he does for a living. Did I miss something? @possibilities I don't like the cop pulling her over, because she was ignoring his calls, and also making out that his wife is awful, when we don't know their relationship at all. I was glad to see Birdie meeting the boy's adoptive mother, so that they could work to help to their son.

It's one of their conspiracy theories. They scapegoated FEMA, in order to get more votes from people who believed they weren't getting the help they were supposed to receive. And of course, the votes from people who can be relied on to believe everything they're told by trump, and now Vance, too.

I don't especially like Alice, or her husband. I just don't think that she's more annoying than him. I do think they may both be afraid of really going for what they want, which I can relate to. She put his paintings up for sale, at a local business, and he was happy. Staying there, in their current apartment, is safe compared to putting herself out there. I can't remember much about him, though. I know that someone will correct me if I'm wrong. that's one reason I love the internet.

Was he willing to move for her? She chose to stay, she loves him, and that is their home, full of memories. But she also wants something. I don't think he deserves to die for it, so I'm hoping it's a misdirection. I also hope that Alice wouldn't be covering up the death of her husband, and burying him in the community garden. I don't see how he would deserve that.

I have never been able to find the opening scene to Two Weeks Notice, but I think this might have been part of it. I just remember Sandra Bullock on the ground, in protest, with one or two other people, protesting the demolition of something. When we watched this, when I was in my twenties, it was one of those cases of my family looking at me, as the scene played out. Like the scenes of the little girl leaving glasses of water all over the house, in Signs. They did the same thing.

Same. It's probably a good thing that I haven't been able to get to protests.

I haven't seen this movie in years. I wondered what the references to Airplane were about.

We’ve had snow in May before. It’s more likely to happen in mid-April, though.

Someone said they saw one in Canton, where we shop for food, most of the time. Next to a Wendy’s, which I think is in front of Home Depot. It’s a range of stores and restaurants, as you drive into the shopping area, and down to an entrance onto a bigger road, or a freeway.
