okay---i saw this one awhile back, but accidentally skipped posting it. But yeah---this gal was jailed for Dom Ass.(see photo)

I kept justifying keeping it for the past few years for safety reasons. When we bought the house we had CenturyLink phone and internet and the...

Oddly enough, the Blue Def exhaust fluid I use in my Cummins Diesel is crystal clear. The name is very misleading.

I think I will like the changes to emissions systems requirements for certain diesel engines, which will remove considerable cost, complexity, size,...

I get impatient with people at the grocery store who either block lanes while they make tough decisions or people talking on their phone and...

Wow. Congrats on the savings. I ditched mine around 2010ish.

I liked the clarity of transmission in our old landline, but when we moved to Hermann, we would’ve had to give up our phone number and so that was...

Wow. Congrats on the savings. I ditched mine around 2010ish.

I finally ditched the landline today! Another day of a dead phone line in a long string of outages in our area for the past few months. ...

The writing of trans activists over the past two weeks in protesting the decision of the UK Supreme Court had them carrying vulgar and threatening...

Two weeks ago the Supreme Court in the U.K. defined “woman” in the correct biological way, an adult human female. This definition exists for legal...

okay----'nother criminal. (see photo)But yeah---looks to me kinda like a ALPHABET Person.

He is cute, I will give him that. otherwise I don’t know much about him

Don't people at large find Andy Brashear charismatic? I guess he is not charismatic enough for me to spell his name right, though.

One Democratic politician in my state who has tons of charisma, but unfortunately, lost his politician job and went to prison for campaign law...

You're absolutely right. That line was a too-flip response to the comment bae made that no one is self-made But, still, I'm not going to edit it...

One thing I really like in actual sincere discourse is when my position is not poorly represented. The discourse is much more effective when you...

sure,I agree she did her bit for the presidency as do all the wives. I don’t especially like her tone when she talks about it, but maybe that’s just...

That's not what a lot of Republicans believe. To many, poor people are just lazy. I'm sure she did receive benefit from need-based scholarships,...

She was a college classmate of mine. She had significant need-based scholarships, as did I. Nobody is “self-made”.

I don't think she'll every run for anything at this point. After reading her book, Becoming, I'm convinced that she feels she did her part for...

Ok, charisma. NOT Michelle Obama. She is lately doing a whining tour of privilege on podcasts and interviews. It is not attractive. Being in the...

True, but I stand by it. I'm not saying logic wasn't at least partially responsible for his election(s) but it wasn't the biggest part. "People don't...

I may have to revisit the topic later, but Trump logic did make sense to a portion of the population, and his emotion of vitriol cemented their...

“Emotion not logic got us to Trump.” That is entirely your own assessment.

peonies do have a range of bloom time. My coral ones are early. I still have some in tight bud. yes, there are yellow peonies. They were once very...

Wowie! Iris! Those coral peonies are beautiful. I have only pink and one deep pink. They are large- MD must be a little colder than Missouri. Mine...

But the question is, IL, who has charisma? For instance, you don't want Lefty Lefterson, but I think the most charismatic candidates on the...

Well, Ron DeSantis does NOT have the campaign chops, the charisma, to win much apparently. And then it’s too bad because I think he is a decent...

I find the peonies to be a little puny down here in the lower Midwest. They like it to be colder. but then, the biggest peony grower and...

My peonies, planted from roots at the end of last summer, are only 3 inches tall right now.

Beautiful! We grow a lot of peonies, but no blooms up here in the north country yet.

Lovely, Iris. And I too appreciate your view!

My MIL had this horrible habit of helping herself to produce on the the pretext she was trying before buying. Not only would she pick grapes and eat...

Probably just a rant, but people who pick items out of the bulk bins or produce section and then eat them while shopping is just disgusting.

Just gorgeous, and your view is wonderful, too. Really smashing the setting.

if I load the photo directly from my photo file, it’s probably bigger, but it’s either sideways or upside down. these coral colored flowers are...

Beautiful! What flowers are they? It's hard to tell--I wish I could make the pictures bigger. I do click on them and that helps, but they're still...

I grew up in a mostly non-communicative single parent household. I don't recall any conversations about what to do about my future or education. My...

My parents told me they would pay for books and tuition in state and after that I would be on my own. I lived at home and went to the local four...

Well, that’s good to hear!

I asked DH to call the auto shop where the work was done. The owner apologized and said it was a software error. He will refund us the 2.65% charge....

I was the first generation of my family to go to college. I went to a fancy boarding school for my last 3 years of high school. I entered a...

Ha. even though i don't much care about song lyrics, that particular one i know. Gerry Rafferty's Steelers Wheel, ca 1973. But yeah----ihave a...

My most recent annoyance at the grocery store was a woman demanding I assist her at the self checkout despite my protestations that I didn’t work...

Our grocery stocking day seems to be Tuesday. So I should avoid that day. And ha ha me getting up to shop from 7 to 9 AM, Ha ha nope.

I get too much satisfaction from sales and clearance items to use delivery. But if I was still working, it would be a blessing and keep me from...

What I learned with money from my family was do what I say, not what I do. We had an allowance, that mom borrowed, and we never saw. Told I could...

In my case, there was no question because there was no money beyond the occasional care package or little gift. Asking for anything more would have...

I was the smart one so my education was paid for. My mother would have gone to college if family finances allowed it. They didn’t and she had to go...

My parents said directly and clearly: don’t expect an “inheritance” because we are paying for your education. As it turned out tho my mom did...

I didn't go to college until my kids were in middle school, and then I mostly part timed it, while working full time. Got a few grants and...

That's awesome. For you guys, like you and LDAHL and others here who have bootstrapped their way through college, I'm wondering what the expectations...

I get my groceries delivered!

I found myself participating in annoying grocery store behavior a couple weeks ago when I was oblivious to blocking an aisle. Usually, I’m not that...

So I started a thread on r/AskEurope to see how people how don’t use checks pay their bills. I was surprised to learn checks are still used some in...
