And I think it’s hysterical, a funny idea by you, an entertaining execution by LDAHL. Please lady don’t ban it! Haha.

Catherine I think it’s fine that you both came to an agreement. You had professional advice in numbers from the realtors and that’s good enough. In...

I would play that game!

Haha yeah. To think that the entity who has the power to produce the thing has decided to not produce the thing is actually banning its own actions. ...

Please let me be holier than thou! I am serious when I say I won’t go indoors to dine with a bunch of people. Conversely I would never mask up...

dude, it isnt censorship. You will find no one on this board who is a bigger proponent of free-speech than me.

uhhhh, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these titles are hardly their best sellers. The Mulberry Street book dates from my era I think, and I...

Even with a vaccine two weeks behind me I wouldn’t be doing this. Dining out with a bunch of people in an enclosed room? Nope nope nope. Doesn’t...

I see this from a wider point of view and it is that this is one of those things that makes me resent news media. They have about 3 to 5 stories...

Kinda a rant, kinda not. Someone I’ve been trying to push out of the position in our neighborhood board has FINALLY said he will step out of that...

But how Would I know that “let it go “is even a song? Let alone a song from a children’s movie? Let alone a song from children’s movie produced by...

98% of the MMM writers are dull. It’s not their fault, they’re just not professional writers. The few people who write well on MMM and who do...

i have no idea. And, apparently you have forced me to watch something from that Disney production Frozen that I have never seen. Nor have I seen...

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole watching videos of a guy who promotes New York City rentals. I watched him showcase these spaces, and some of them...

Rather than keep a journal in one place I blather endlessly in digital spaces all over the internet. I can use digital search tools to gather all of...

Since I only allow discussion of Iris, lilies, and bulldogs into my Facebook feed, things are very serene in my Facebook world. I get my rock...

I think “brittle” is a good term. Hard, not flexible. Lotsa people are like this. We are who we are and no one needs to change, but there are...

Good to hear this CL. Yes, these Covid times have been a boon in some ways to us introverts!

haha. Ok maybe. The wonderful thing is that a few months ago I received a thumb drive of photographs from that side of the family, so I am...

Yeah, that’s me too. Also I am a skim reader and skim the boring parts. Unfortunately, I now skim too much and I skim over basic stuff in the...

I love that scene too and I know exactly which one it is without even looking at the video clip because I can tell in the URL is the scene that...

Yes that’s it. There are people who always look nice because they’re, you know, pretty! And they pay attention to grooming and the fit,...

It Takes one to know one! Haha.

yup, that’s what all the provocateurs say!haha.

Gosh. Are there others here who keep doing the same thing and expect different results? Makes me wonder… You could interpret this however you...

I didn’t know or didn’t remember that you have no financial investments. Well then. Jane, I’m just gonna give it to you straight —you and I...

I never thought UL was mean, I just thought he was extremely direct and he liked to be a provocateur much like George Parker. UL was pretty...

Surely you made comparable money in the financial markets? But who knows. Real estate roulette especially the kind of nuttiness it goes on on...

I think UL was rational, not sure why you think he was not. I get that you don’t like him though. Yeah I think we got that through and through.

razz, a few months ago I brought up the fact that I was listening to an Audible book and I didn’t like it. That’s when several people here piped up...
