Holy crow, two fine minds sharing a lovely and uplifting conversation. Mayor Pete's Arabic ... aerobics, ROFL.

I'm an atheist but this is my guess: "A statement of the difficulty in living up to the high moral standards that one has set oneself. As much as one wishes to achieve something, the frailties of the human body (or, in this case, Elizabeth's temper) often make it impossible."

Ford's complete disappearance has never been satisfactorily explained. It was initially reported that Morgan Stanley fired him for inappropriate sexual behavior. After a short period that aspect was denied but in December 2017 MSNBC announced that he was no longer welcome. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/fmr-rep-harold-ford-jr-former-congressman-banker-poised-for-return-to-finance If it was management issues and not related to inappropriate advances followed up by pressure to proceed further it seems odd that he is no longer on camera somewhere, especially on MJ where he appeared almost daily for a long period of time.

I laugh every time Meri goes to Brainwashed Avenue because it reminds me of the scene in ET when, before Elliott will reveal the extraterrestial in the closet, he swears his big brother to secrecy by making him say "You have all power." I think the truest part of the catfish scenario is that she has never given one inch toward admitting that she was complicit and willing. I think her "walls" conveniently come up and they are so sick and tired of her shit that they just walk away. They know and she knows they know but whatever, because she has more balls than Kody and Robyn combined. I don't think she comes off with any of her LLR money. Because walls, and "all by myself." She loves it when Kody hints or asks and she loves polishing her brass balls while saying "Nope" and watching him take it. If he asked the other wives for money (which they don't have anyway) they would say "How much and when do you need it?" but Meri, who actually has money, says "Flock you."

Synthetics don't breathe so you perspire more (and sooner) than you do when wearing a natural fiber. Synthetic fabrics smell horrible when your body heat warms them - so you find yourself sporting body odor AND clothing odor. The clothing ad on this site features some cute tops so I clicked on three of them: polyester, polyester and polyester. Nuh uh, no thank you.

At his age 6'3" has easily become 6'2" which factors in as well. And he weighs one hell of a lot more than 239. Do we remember Rachel's tone and facial expressions re the first offishul medical report which was replete with superlatives and gushed about 45's "good genes" and was signed by Dr Ronnie Jackson? Except ... a physician would sign such a document as Ronnie Jackson, MD. And his first name happens to be: "Ronny."

IA, Pickle, and it's a hard call and a very personal decision. My nephew would give anything to be a SAHD because he has anxiety issues and doesn't function well in the work world. He would jump on it if his wife could earn enough to float their boat. Our culture has all kinds of conversations about how couples cope and manage while too often overlooking the dilemma of single parenting. I feel for what you went through without having wider choices. I think Maddie lives in a bubble and feels a bit entitled (because of how she was raised).

No matter what age you are when it happens, I think many of us can affirm that visiting family in the home where you grew up is nothing like visiting where they moved to after you left the nest. I used to bust my tail arranging my schedule/my travel time to suit my parents. One time it didn't work out so everyone met at a restaurant instead of the house where they were living. On the way home I realized that the restaurant visit felt exactly the same as the not-home-anymore visits. Obviously, there is real trauma in life but feeling like that was a rude emotional awakening. You can't go home again when home doesn't exist. - - - - - - - PS: Maybe because there was a lot of turmoil and we moved a lot when I was a kid, I stalk my old homes when I'm in SoCal and my brother did the same thing. I recently found out my nephew/his son does it but he tries to hide it because his wife shames him for it. I guess we're looking for something that got left behind. I see stories where people knock on the door and say we lived here 50 years ago and they get invited to come in and look around. I've even had OG photos with me to prove it but I didn't have the nerve to knock on the door. I did know better than to go to Florence and Normandie where we lived when I was born, but a few years ago one of LAPD's finest escorted me and my sister to the freeway on-ramp closest to our grandparents' old neighborhood near 107th St and Vermont. He goosed the siren and forced us to the curb and said "May I ask why you ladies think it's a good idea to be driving around in this area today?" "Welp, sir, we're on vacation and we want to take a picture of that house because our grandparents planted that palm tree in 1948. How tall is it, easily 50-60 feet, right?" He saw our Utah plates and my sister had the camera ready so I'm pretty sure he knew we weren't trying to score. "Not today, ladies, and not tomorrow either. Follow me to the freeway." A few days later, down south, a very polite Marine threw us off "My base" (Camp Pendleton in Oceanside) after heavy traffic squeezed me into the wrong lane and there was nowhere to turn around and I ended up at the his entry gate. Sheesh, that was not our best vacation, LOL The spacing in the new site is janky. The text drops down to the next line when there is plenty of room left on the line for another word or even words. Very frustrating, especially when over time it adds up.

I hear ya and I liked your post, but he went camping for at least two weeks, maybe it was three weeks - I can't exactly remember what Robyn posted about the duration. I do remember that it wasn't a weekend at one location, which is what a lot of people would call no biggie. She said he could go if he called home every night so she would know where he was - good idea - and he did comply with that. Robyn rubs the audience the wrong way and they suspect the worst from her because years of watching her have shown that she is a sneaky, smiling conniver and Kody co-signs that behavior while downplaying it. After people have seen that for so long it's impossible hard to un-see it. It's a perfect example of "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

I found this recording of the Sister Wives forum hoping that LoneWolf comes back sooner rather than later:

During a convo with Joyce Vance last night Brian Williams said: "We haven't even touched on posse comitatus which some of us thought was a lyric in Wooly Bully." I enjoy his dry sense of humor; he speaks slowly, pronounces words clearly, gets to his point quickly and presents his thoughts in a linear manner.

When I started reading your post I thought OMG I am reading something by Dominick Dunne! (That is a compliment). 😉

Five hours per week studying and being tested provides and measures progress and is non-negotiable in terms of time devoted to that component. Each set of apprentices and mentors decides how they want to spend the remaining 13 hours each week; the mentor could allow all 18 hours as study. Some apprentices are hired as clerks, paralegals, assistants so 13 of their however many weekly hours at the office are spent doing tasks associated with those positions. Kim is apprenticing with a non-profit so you'd think if she is performing tasks they would want her to serve her 13 hours unpaid. It's not that different from a cosmetology apprenticeship. It varies but let's say your state requires 2500 hours before you can take State Boards: 250 hours Theory (studying/testing) and 2250 Clinical (performing salon services). You work the details out with the salon: they teach and test you every week for 5 hours and you either get an apprentice wage for the rest of that week's hours or you "volunteer" your time on the floor, whatever it takes to fulfill the required hours. The salon makes money off you either way. A couple of Like Lincoln links that pertain to California: http://likelincoln.org/faqs/ FAQs http://likelincoln.org/bios/ Meet The Apprentices And Mentors I will crap if Kim is successful with this!

Cool is so far out of my reach that when I saw the plate she posted I thought "Parmesan, yum!" Yeast never occurred to me.

Just a wild guess, the lawyers at the clemency project are a source of narcissistic fuel - and it may go both ways. Her name opens doors that would otherwise remain closed to them. Of her mandatory minimum 18 hours per week, 5 are required to be supervised and logged as such. Who knows how diligent she is during the 13 unsupervised hours? The Baby Bar/First Year Law Student Exam happens twice in 2019 - June and October. http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Examinations/First-Year-Law-Students-Examination

Granted, it was a big damn deal when she became the first female to co-anchor a national news program but she was an interviewer and a news reader, not a journalist. Co-anchor Harry Reasoner, who co-founded 60 Minutes FFS, could not stand her because of her fluff status and walked away after a couple of years. As a young Geraldo once said, "Barbara has the best rack in the business." 😉

Our family had music stores during the '60s in SoCal and I remember Rusty's Knockers UP! and Banned In Boston LPs. There was lots of bribing my sibs not to tell what went on when I was the babysitter ... Meghan definitely sends lots of mixed messages about her stand on sexuality.

Heads up - feeling used because I clicked on a "new" headline about Kody Brown Bigamy Arizona but it was just Radar Online BS with "legal experts" reciting the current laws. I took one for the team, so you don't have to go there.

Skis were looong in the '60s. Raise one arm straight up and bend your wrist at 90 degrees - that was your ski length. You were stylin' when you did kick turns on the side of the mountain with those long boys! And poles that came to your armpit were the correct length. Whoosh!

Mika-crush Michael Avenatti indicted on 36 federal felony counts of wire fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud. His crimes include allegedly defrauding a paraplegic client. Set your Friday morning alarms for awkward:30.

In-state tuition at NAU is $11,000. Out-of-state tuition is $25,000. There is a western states compact where member states offer discounted tuition to each other. A Nevada resident pays $16,000 instead of $25,000 to attend NAU - and they would get the same price for 4 years without even moving to Arizona. So Day'un is eligible for the deeply discounted tuition his first year and in-state the next year.

She's apprenticing in SF because that's where cut50 is based, the group that submitted the successful clemency petition last year. "The White House called me ... " LOL, she's giving phone interviews to magazines and deviating from the script. To Vogue she said that OJ's scheme team (specifically Shapiro and Cochran) headquartered at her dad's home office on the weekends - which never happened. Never. Happened. To another mag she said she snooped through her dad's "OJ crime books" on the weekends. Thanks to this we now have another round of outlets referring to RK as a member of OJ's defense team. It never ends. He was a stooge with a 15-year-dormant law license who was tapped as a pressure relief valve. They knew OJ would lose it if he didn't get enough attention and they couldn't tolerate his demands and constant yammering. By reinstating his license RK could babysit at the defense table, visit jail outside normal hours and could not be questioned about the garment bag or OJ's behavior during his relationship with Nicole or after the murders. The video on the previous page with 13-year-old Kim predicting her future fame? That's how old she was during the trial when she was "nosing" into the forensics, "her favorite part of the case" - the hairs, the fibers, the blood - all the stuff that stymied adult minds. I guess the big surprise is that it's taken her this long to answer her true calling. In 2018 the Cali bar posted the lowest pass rate in 70 years but three apprentices took the test and two passed ... If she passes the Bar she's done, she's in. The Baby Bar is different, that's an early test that allows you to continue. I think there's a maximum of 3 years between passing the Baby Bar and taking the Bar Exam.

You left out the part where, before she got a raise, Joe gave her money to shop with. Which most co-workers who also are supervisors do, right? I'm sure that he fronts certain costs for Willie when MSNBC is slow to see the light. Joe doing that for her was fair, justified, and explained by the "1/7" ratio. Because most people, when asking for a raise, base it on how how much their supervisor makes and most companies go along with that logic. How else can employees Know Their Value? Joe and Mika are ahead of the curve and break ground on so many fronts that it's hard to keep track somemes.

Is yoga about being centered, balanced, limber, agile - but achieving muscle tone and weight loss are not part of the program? She can twist herself like a pretzel but she looks like a thick, lumpy, flabby couch potato. It's not like I would see her and think oooh, I wanna look like thar, I gotta sign up for that class. Strive With Meriah!
