  1. Oooh, yes, because it's public, there's an audience. Good idea. (Unless they decide to delete certain posts. Which hopefully were seen by lots of eyeballs before deletion).
  2. The idiom "smoking gun" refers to incriminating evidence that can't be denied or explained away. A "smoking gun" is one that has been fired so recently that smoke can be seen leaving the gun's barrel; the person holding the smoking gun fired the gun.
  3. Scarlett: Cathleen, who's that? Cathleen Calvert: Who? Scarlett: That man looking at us and smiling. The nasty, dark one. Cathleen Calvert: My dear, don't you know? That's Rhett Butler. He's from Charleston. He has the most terrible reputation. Scarlett: He looks as if... as if he knows what I look like without my shimmy.
  4. Rachel is breaking down the Flynn sentencing memo and addendum which were released less than an hour ago. As expected, the addendum is greatly redacted. In the realm where my mind is happiest the release was timed so that Rachel's analysis would be among the first offered. ETA: Cue Chuck Rosenberg! ETA: Barbara McQuade offers that, when examining the addendum, it appears that Flynn assisted three separate investigations. This will be a red hot night on MSNBC because surely we will hear from Joyce Vance and Jill Wine-Banks as well. Woot.
  5. Pepper enhances weight loss, but adding it to coffee?! No Freakin' Way! (And I don't even drink coffee).
  6. ^ All of the best traits representing A Man of the American West in one fine package. Married to the same gal for 34 years, good husband, good father, never a hint of scandal or bad behavior. Rowr. One survey indicated that 88% of Americans recognize/can identify his voice in the "Beef. It's What's For Dinner" TV commercials. (Previously voiced, until his death, by actor Robert Mitchum). Headed to Netflix - thx for the tip. ;-)
  7. And yet, he persisted. Successfully. With someone who was technically his employee, and in a highly subordinate position. Ugh.
  8. No weed just for fun in AZ. UT and AZ are the most Mormon-y states and will Never legalize. https://kjzz.org/content/588352/power-mormon-vote "Utah soon will have a new medical marijuana law — but not the one approved by voters in the recent election." https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2018/12/03/utah-house-passes-medical/ For all their big talk, the Browns can't leave the Mormon zones. For church mainstreamers, the fundies are the hussy you have to be nice to in public even tho she ran off with your friend's cousin's husband. And, because they are desperate to be relevant, the Browns get a kick out of that.
  9. Kanye churns his ideas and his actions like hoarders churn their possessions. Stuff gets moved from place to place and back again. Hoarders assign false value to their meaningless items; Kanye assigns false value to his meaningless concepts.
  10. Scoop's new breastsesses amply demonstrate that there are two things she admires about Stormy Daniels. I guess the long-standing superior attitude toward her and the pained pronounciation of the words porn star were a facade. Quelle surprise.
  11. I think you posted something similar recently and I meant to save it but I forgot. You said that animals in feedlots eat ___ and ___. It was quite sobering! TIA
  12. I watched some '60s videos last night. Mariah looks like Janis Joplin.
  13. LOL, the bold reminds me of a former co-worker, a lippy redhead with late 80s hair. Hand on hip, green gum hanging out the corner of her mouth, looking you up and down with "Are you feelin' OK?" Her fashion sense was impeccable so there wasn't much we could do except laugh and probably not wear that outfit again. She did the same thing when a client asked for a haircut that was all wrong for them. Lock eyes in the mirror, hang the gum, "Are you feelin' alright?" I know it sounds obnoxious but it was all in the delivery and no one took offense. She was a really nice gal and she had the biggest clientele in the shop. One day I decided to frost my hair using a new color-coded scented product we just learned and she was my BFF so of course she would do it. I was under the dryer, cap over product, maybe halfway through the time and my head no longer smelled like blueberries and felt really hot. "Tiff, this sorta hurts." Flipping through a magazine, "It's not on your scalp, you're a baby." A few more pages, a couple more minutes. "Tiffany, this feels really hot." "OMG, stop whining," showed me the timer. Another minute, "Tiifff ... " She flounced over, lifted the hood, pulled the cap and we saw a puff of smoke. "I told you it was hot! Rinse This Shit Off!" Welp, those strands were as white as typing paper. We realized that because we were hee hawing we forgot the very important step of spraying the product with water before I went under the dryer. Luckily I wanted subtle so she hadn't pulled a lot of hair but there was zero pigment left, and we spent 2 hours trying to find a toner the hair would accept. It ended up looking ... not awful. Also luckily, it was at the end of the day so no clients caught that action. After that, in addition to an occasional "Are you feelin' alright?" ... I got "Wanna un-color your hair today?" Good times.

  15. I read that a couple days ago and thought damn, every time she pops up it's because her kid got ripped from her arms on another holiday. And she's breastfeeding still and, and ... lather, rinse, repeat. She would nurse that kid until he's 8 years old just to spite her ex. I want to like her because Old Houses, Old People, Old Dogs and part of me does because she can be a hoot - like when she swans in those chaps in the show intro, and she's a quick-witted smart mouth - but she is so good with inanimate objects and so bad with people. But then, the little girl who had cancer? So there's that. "Just when I thought I was out, she pulls me back in."
  16. Well, you know, god helps those who help themselves ...
  17. Student loans go directly to the school. Grad students are classified as independent and parent financials no longer pertain so it's easier to get loans and grants. Grants are not repaid. There's probably some sleazy grifter deal that gives her access to TLC money under the table or her mommy slips her money, or both.
  18. I didn't use her hashtag in case she gets credit for it, but I scoped the Tradlands site and that shirt is $167
  19. If you or your passenger do not have a disability the fine in Cali is $250 minimum to $500 maximum, altho San Francisco recently raised it to $1000. Special squads were created statewide last year because there is widespread use of expired and phony placards. In some cases squad members waited for hours to nail drivers when they returned to their vehicles. (Ooh, I'd love to know the circumstances that pissed them off enough to do that). I wish someone had reported him while he was inside the gym because the squad woulda Loved It. Because of the publicity/the photos/the witnesses I bet the state is gonna mail him a ticket but we'll never hear about it. Bummer, because he is one insufferable mofo.

  21. Everyone knows dogs are smart. We had dogs when I was growing up because my mom didn't like cats. I rescued my first cat in my 20s and altho I loved a few dogs along the way cats became my favorite companions. They were a better fit for my eventual lifestyle of working long hours, condo rules, no private yard, etc. But I never thought much about the intelligence of cats until a trio of rescues came to me one by one over 6 or 7 years. The first one, a male with attitude, was happiest outdoors but I didn't want him killing birds so I trained him to walk on a leash and he quit rushing the front door when someone opened it. He sat next to his leash hanging on a closet doorknob and stared holes in me until we went outside 2 or 3 or 9 times a day. He enjoyed the occasional stroll through Pet Smart on his leash, seeing the birds, fish and small animals and, because he was hip to fast food, he never lost hope that one day they would be bagged for him. The attitude was such that no dog ever did more than glance his way. He sneered from the seat in the shopping cart while we watched the dog obedience classes with a look on his face like "As if." He was about 2 when I got him, according to the vet, and he lived with me for 14 years. We went to Daktari (our word for vet) when I noticed that he was moping and found out he had diabetes. I tried my best for 2 days but he refused injections so it was a lost cause and I made plans for his last trip to Daktari the next day. He wanted a nest in the bathroom and I sat with him until 5am and primed the alarm for one hour because that was better than nothing. I had just barely fallen asleep when a very loud and desperate voice woke me: "Where ARE You??" I ran to MoMo and we shared his last few moments and I would've been even more devastated if I missed that. I've often thought about it and honestly cannot say whether I heard a thought or a voice but I do know it woke me "just in time." That was 6 years and even tho we're in a different house now Isabel pricks her ears and looks down the hallway if I say "Where is MoMo?" ;- )
  22. Wow, that is so true. Yet Tori looks pretty much the same. The hardship of iiving with her is written on his face. Well, first you play and then you pay.
  23. :- ) Hey, you're welcome. I got those from my dad as well. And "doesn't know his ass from a hot rock." (I never "got" that one). He lived with me the last 2 years of his life, until he was 94, and watched some of my shows on his TV. He saw Dirty Dancing a few times because Baby's dad was his favorite L&O character. (Altho I don't think Lenny Briscoe was the main reason, heh heh). He said Kody is an ass and Meri looks like 30 miles of bad road. He watched for plygs at WalMart so he could wink at them; if they didn't notice he said "Bummer" (a word he picked up from me in the 60s). And he called the Kardashians "those Russians" and said Bruce better watch out because Kris wants to cut off his balls and carry them in her purse. My DD and GD were ROFL. I hope the youngers appreciate us when it's our turn to be the hoots.
  24. I forgot she used to make jammies every year. She had some nice qualities then. You just know she gifts them LLR for every occasion these days. I wonder if there's in-fighting over who wears whose LLR in public, LOL.
  25. I was scrolling to find where I left off and I saw the photo but hadn't read the caption yet. Glanced at it and thought they were displaying some pot holders they crafted for Christmas gifts, for the kids' teachers maybe. And then I looked closer and saw the feet and a sickening realization came to me.
