I’m not saying that primer is supposed to fix your skin —it is make up. It is a cosmetic improvement, of a temporary nature to make feel pretty....

I made pulled pork for our Iris convention. I used a whole pork tenderloin. Cooked it over a couple of days. Had tons of it. Much of the...

It blocks the sun from acting on my skin. It doesn’t repair my skin, rejuvenate my skin, or purport to change the cellular structure of my skin in...

There are some things I’d like to make out a slab, but I would guess that’s easier imagined than actually completed.

sunscreen is a good thing. That is my position.

Having good skin is in my opinion 90% genetics. And then stay out of the sun (meaning, wear hat and sun screen.) Slathering crap on your...

Rosa come back and let us know how much you get for that jacket, I am curious.

Just say no to “cluttercore.” But “circuscore” I can get behind because I love fantasy decor! But this photo from the article is not...

I know, amazing isn’t it! Yesterday I took all the clothes to the dumpster Except for the Levi’s ski jacket. No these are not clothes that...

I am afraid to say this out loud because I might jinx it. Wonder of wonders, DH has cleaned out his closet and gotten rid of clothing he has not...

Honestly Jeppy until today I never heard of a “primer” as facial make up.

This is primer stuff something women use on our faces? Do you use that underneath foundation?

And when you look at the maternal mortality rate, Are there specific demographic areas that push our rates up? I wonder if you have any idea how...

I don’t even know what this word salad means, I am quite sure that you don’t have any right or ability that is “rare.”

Very dusty, dirty, and desert-y. But I really liked the fact that there doesn’t seem to be much traffic on the main arterial roads in town. It was...

cool! So you are doing shop sitting? I can see in the Santa Fe area there would be quite a bit of need for that for me reliable person.

Yes that was my take on it, and from what I vaguely remember it was a healthy fetus and the woman was from France. There are doctors who would do it...

You turn me onto The Editors, so I listen to that now and then. They don’t do podcasts super often so it’s not often enough get tired of them,...

Boobby I visited the Gore psychiatric museum, in St. Joseph Missouri last week. That is in your home state I believe. They showed all kinds of...

While I think there’s not many physicians who will perform a third trimester abortion, I don’t know that they are any more “subject to medical...

I like the way this is stated!

K, what medium is this? It looks like a stamp on fabric.

I have boxes of kitchen stuff sitting around this house in Hermann, but I’m gonna let it sit for a while until I bring things from my city house and...

Yes this is where I am as well because it is inherently a conflict between woman’s choice or the continuing life of the baby. Both require...

I don’t know, the price seems OK I guess. You have to understand this is a tiny town that has all but nothing going on. While it is the same size as...

You probably are not aware that there are people here on this forum who actually knew Lola and Claire in real life. Both girls died in recent years.

Yes. This bench actually had a top that opens where you store boots and shoes. I haven’t thought about that in 50 years. It is a classic...

I think there are so many issues about human reproduction in relation to abortion and adoption and parental rights that we could have some very...

I am countering Jane’s idea that there is “private “instruction. Of course there isn’t. Perhaps that’s not really what she meant. Are you saying...

Oh is THAT the connecting dot? Yes I can see that.

No is that my impression that that is the generally accepted path, because a class room teacher can’t wait for every student to ask and then give...

I’m having a hard time following your logic since we’re talking about children in foster care, that was your query. There’s quite a huge demand...

Gee I don’t know what nanny G can do with her laws and taxing to solve this social problem. I’m sure you can think of something (largely impractical...

Touché. My physician is actually a she.

My physician uses lbs for my medical record. Dr. NOW on the TV show “my 600 pound life “has a scale that measures in pounds. They talk about pounds...

I don’t think most of the five—year-olds will be much phased by Covid anyway.

oh please, that tired old chestnut. First of all, the percentage of children in foster care who are available for adoption is not nearly as high...

Well, I think a more thoughtful approach to sex that could result in procreation is not a bad thing, but the Lysistrata analogy has been invoked all...

Sure, with full anesthesia. That’s some heavy duty surgery right there in my book.

Right, it counts people who enter the hospital with Covid but not because of Covid. I don’t think it’s meaningless though. If the counting has been...

I suspect kids are using the mask as a symbol more than actual prophylactic, which I believe is true for many people But especially the youthful...

My main reason for not doing that is because I am physician resistant. Every couple years I would think gosh I should do that. Then I would think oh...

I am reading the 30 page Missouri “trigger “ law that goes into effect when Roe v. Wade falls. At least, I think it is the right legislation i am...

I’m really debating letting go plant society publications that are not available digitally. I’ve got 50 North American Lily society quarterly...

I can see Hunter Biden‘s laptop not being much of a story, but it is a story. The real story is the concentrated effort by mainstream media to ignore...

I think that would be ok except that there’s not going be a uniform federal act to do what you described. It may be that the majority of states...

Yes, happy Mother’s Day to all the moms here Including dog and cat moms!

In my de facto senior citizen condo high rise of 40 units, there are no rentals allowed at all, except for the people who owned prior to the time...

I knew that concept of sharing child living arrangement, I just didn’t know that there was a cutesy name for it. That certainly is the least...

Isn’t it great the way fiction can highlight human events and conditions? can Make them interesting. Can Make them understandable.

That MIGHT indicate a welcome distance in your relationship! This was a mom in law who would not get into your bizness. Maybe?

If you mean me, this has to do with my awesome ability to compartmentalize. And that’s certainly good in many cases and it is not so good in other...

aww, isn’t that nice!

yes! We think her new attorney is a stronger and better attorney who is advising her to settle and is getting her some thing that might be a tad...

This is a Rant that is sorta turning into a Rave. It illustrates how I “process “things in my little mind. When things bug me I chew on them and...

our conference is a GO and enough people have registered that my group will not lose money. So that is a big relief.

it appears our family court case won’t be going to court because it looks like the recalcitrant sibling who is suing everyone else to sell the family...

i have had the pet dreams telling me they are fine in death.

I left the convention early, but I was right in assessing the audience for my Chinese pots. These boomer ladies liked them. Of course I marked them...
