S10.E09: Until We Leave Again
suomi replied to TexasGal's topic in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
Wondering what Erika thinks about Kyle's Rinna's description of Erika's "type." Old, bald and rich. Wondering what Tom thinks. I'm not an Erika fan by any means but Kyle Rinna is crass. -

World’s friendliest exes! Khloé Kardashian celebrated Independence Day this year at her ex Tristan Thompson’s party — and she had a great time at the bash with her family and friends. In her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, July 7, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 36, shared a glimpse into the event’s holiday-themed red-white-and-blue decor as well as snacks like ice cream and Sweet Flower gift bags with cannabis-infused products including Artet aperitifs for guests. She then shared multiple snaps of her and Thompson’s 2-year-old daughter, True, getting into the holiday spirit. https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/khloe-kardashian-shares-pics-from-tristan-thompsons-4th-of-july-party/ss-BB16sshS?li=BBnbfcL

Mary Kay Letourneau, the former Seattle-area schoolteacher who was at the center of a national scandal in the 1990s when she was convicted of raping her sixth-grade student whom she later married, has died, her attorney confirmed to KOMO News Tuesday night. Letourneau lost a battle with cancer, her attorney, David Gehrke, said. Letourneau was a former Highline teacher who passed away after being ill for some time. She was 58. After Letourneau's release from prison in 2004, Fualaau requested the court take back the no-contact order, and the two were married in 2005. They had two daughters together before Fualaau filed documents to legally separate from Letourneau in May 2017. Fualaau filed for legal separation in early 2017, with sources telling People magazine at the time that he and Letourneau might not ultimately divorce. They were repeatedly spotted together around the Seattle area, where they have lived for years. Two years ago, Letourneau was reportedly working as a paralegal in Tacoma while Fualaau was said to be working as a part-time DJ. ABC News reported that the two divorced in 2019. Anne Bremner represented Letourneau for a civil case and said she would be missed. "I've known Mary for 20 years," Bremner said. "She raised wonderful daughters and she loved her family." https://komonews.com/news/local/mary-kay-letourneau-who-made-headlines-for-an-affair-with-her-student-dies

Well, we know the terms of the LLR cruises she has qualified for. They required at least 6 months of ungodly sales, something like $12,000 per month. That's 72k for only half of the year.

Social interaction sometimes when I'm supposed to be myself, ugh. Other people seem to float through it effortlessly, it appears to come naturally instead of "Do A, now do B, are they expecting C, maybe try D." Roles comes easily and don't cause anxiety, there's even exhilaration, "Heh, I GOT this." I can be any role, just not me. Occasionally a shining star, pulling it off. Conversations dwindle because I'm not hitting the ball back correctly. Talk enough, don't talk too much. People relieved when they get their chance to walk away. Usually not sure which type of encounter it will be, think positively, don't be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Be a popular room mother, check. Be an efficient executive assistant, check. Be a kick-ass hospice CNA, check. Manage a record-setting inbound call center, check. Organize a medical records dept and specialize in physicians who are deficient in reporting, check. Be myself, oops, I did it again. It was a real eye-opener when someone from the past sent an old photo of a Rainbow Girls outing. 10th grade, 11th grade. About 20 of us at the beach, only one person looked awkward and unsure, in the middle, not isolated, among friends, but with body language and posture that said "I am lost. I don't know what I'm doing." Always had lots of friends, the popular kids, cheerleaders, class officers, debate team, drama team, things I would never attempt. I tagged along and was accepted but knew my place. Selling myself short or facing reality? The jury is still out on that one. -
😞 I've subscribed to the NYTimes for so long that I didn't stop to think about it that way. It's a lengthy article but here are a few highlights: Gleaning is a hallowed agricultural tradition, traditionally defined as gathering anything left over after a harvest. In this country, it has long been the province of religious groups inspired by the ancient Jewish story of Ruth, written at a time when gleaning was still a protected right for the poor. In recent years - as new emphasis has been placed on supporting local agriculture, reducing waste and improving the nutritional quality of food in hunger relief - a fresh wave of organizations have taken to the idea. Now, gleaning groups are at the front lines of those helping to stabilize the nation’s shaky food supply, perfectly positioned to leverage one problem - a bounty of unsellable crops - to help solve another: rampant hunger. Ms. Baker, 27, tracks down growers willing to donate surplus food, manages a lengthening list of volunteers itching to do something safely outdoors, and drives contributions to a wholesale produce market where her organization rents a corner of a warehouse refrigerator. At one farm, “we were picking from bushes that were loaded with berries that hadn’t been touched,” said Emily Wilson, 29, the group’s program coordinator, with a note of disbelief. “A thousand pounds of blueberries.” With help from an online agricultural-sales platform called Forager and Covid-19 grant money from a food waste-focused nonprofit called ReFED, her organization even delivered 2,100 pounds of produce to the quarantined Indigenous community in Window Rock, Ariz., the capital of the Navajo Nation - a six-hour drive each way. It’s been an equally intense spring at the Orlando, Fla., office of the Society of St. Andrew, a gleaning group with roots in the United Methodist Church and programs across the Southeast, Ohio and Indiana. Accurate numbers on just how much that is are hard to come by [he said] but two studies last year - one by researchers at North Carolina State University and another by those at Santa Clara University in California - determined that about a third of all edible crops grown in the United States likely went unharvested. In truth, gleaning gathers a very small fraction of what is surely billions of pounds of produce, most of which is simply worked back into the soil. It also yields far less than other surplus-food programs, where donations from supermarkets and distribution hubs are measured not by the garbage bag, but the tractor-trailer. But gleaning is still important [Mr. Peterson said]. “What gleaners do really well is work within the spaces missed by more traditional food recovery and hunger programs,” he said. They can pick a farm’s fragile greens on 24 hours’ notice, set out a free box of tomatoes still warm from the sun at a rural library, or deliver pints of delicate, just-picked raspberries to a nearby food pantry lacking a refrigerator, on the same day it gives out food. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/dining/gleaners-farm-food-waste.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

She'll need to take some sick days to recover from those burns. Oof!

Too bad we can't live in a big ol' cul-de-sac and watch over each other, eh? We would also be a kick-ass sorority house. -
Utah is in a bad way, the early, favorable Covid stats are rapidly changing - and Meri is opening her home to traveling strangers. What could go wrong? And the thing is, she's not desperate for her next meal or to pay the mortgage like many business owners are.

This article resonates with me because of my maternal grandmother (born in 1910) and my stepmother (1921), who were two of the finest humans I've ever known. Both preached "It's a sin to waste food." Not in the clean-your-plate sense but rather don't grow or buy more than you will use, don't cook more than someone will eat, and share what you have. My stepmom (who was single for many years) would often fix an extra plate for her single neighbor, knowing she would come home to an empty house after work tired and hungry. So this article reminded me of Mayes and Norma. Meet the Gleaners, Combing Farm Fields to Feed the Newly Hungry An age-old tradition suddenly has fresh urgency in the pandemic, delivering surplus produce to Americans who can’t feed their families. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/dining/gleaners-farm-food-waste.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Kody Brown: The Man Who Survived a KNIFE to the KIDNEYS!

Gawd he's a sad sack, isn't he? I had forgotten about the hardware fiasco. What does it say when TPTB decide to go with that footage? "Here's your sign." LOL -
Oooh, I agree. Redford and Fonda had great chemistry. She said she fell in love with him four times, during their love-interest roles in four movies and greatly enjoyed their love scenes. Nothing personal, but he didn't like doing them with anyone and says he never knew she was in love with him. I always thought Paul Newman was fine... until I saw him next to Robert Redford. Wowzer!

For example: I lived at the western boundary of St George and my nephew lives at the eastern boundary of Washington. Traveling east, I drove the 9 miles to his place in 15 minutes. The populated area is very small and surrounded by the northern portion of the vast Mojave Desert on all sides.

The exam was administered online with remote proctoring (whatever the hell that is) so her location, IF she took the bar, wouldn't matter. I bet she was hating that. Curses, foiled again! -
Washington and St George are adjoining cities in Washington County. They are one continuous hunk of concrete and asphalt w/o desert or distance in between.

I heard about this when I asked my high school reunion contact how she finds people. Because we're old. Old. There's a free site called family tree now dot com. First and last name plus city and state. If state is all you have, try that. The results will include relatives and associates, in separate sections. Ages are included which helps you to determine who you're looking at. Also current address and phone number along with address history. Usually many years of address history, which helps to verify that you've got the right person. Practice with your own name, and click on your associates and relatives a few times to get the hang of it. Heads up, sometimes the first results page you get conveniently wants to take you to the Been Verified site which requires payment. Click on the upper right X if you see the words Been Verified anywhere and then you'll go right to the page you want. If you get multiple results and know that your Larry Jones always lived in NY then, process of elimination, back out of Wyoming or Florida results and keep going to the next Larry Jones. If a person is deceased and their death is on the Social Security Death Index you will be offered that result. Not all deaths meet Social Security requirements but most do, depending on age and circumstance. This was much easier before a certain church *ahem* purchased the rights to federal government records. That's how Ancestry and the other church-owned pay-to-view sites came about. Which is bullshit!!! I guess public records are public records only until the price is right... and I have seen this particular fact denied many times. Again, bullshit!!!

This is a trip. She is very creative, and talented. I wonder how much it weighs, 41 rolls of duct tape adds up. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/teens-coronavirus-themed-prom-dress-made-of-duct-tape-is-a-work-of-art/ar-BB16lCOZ?li=BBnbfcL#image=5

These are my two favorite versions of our national anthem. One is traditional and one is decidedly non-traditional but both are a delight. Happy Birthday, America!

'twas nice to hear that you aced your piccolo solo in such a stirring and spectacular piece of music. Wonderful feeling of accomplishment, eh? I flove marching bands, and especially a drum line. I went to numerous regional and state high school competitions and greatly enjoyed every one of them. My dotter was a flute player and her HS placed first many times and when they didn't the enjoyment was what mattered. I was blown away at the first one I attended when I got the full effect of what it sounds like when a band turns in your direction after marching away from you. It was almost like when I saw the Doobie Brothers in a very small venue in SoCal and their two drummers produced amazing sound waves which assaulted the audience. Wowzer. Another amazing sensation happened when I watched a bagpipes competition at our local Scottish games. The venue had lots of hills and we could hear the pipes and drums of each regiment long before they came into view and the sound when they crested the final hill was overwhelming. Bagpipes always make me sob - not cry, but sob. They inspire such a soul-deep reaction that it makes me think I was a piper in a previous life.
