No. My main book collection, back when I had one (before we moved to Hermann) was not organized by any principle other than, I suppose, size because...

Yes. if your public library followed Dewey for novels, the novels would be 810 for American novels and 820 for English novels. Everything has a...

good job in downsizing and decluttering. It’s hard to reach the balance of the right amount of stuff isn’t it?

it was mainly ladylike Nancy Pelosi with her ladylike smile and her steely eyed intimidation that caused Biden to back down. I’ve just decided...

Plays are 812 if American and 822 if English. A LL literature has a Dewey Decimal Classification number, it’s just that most public libraries do not...

yeah, that was my immediate question too, why is Tulsi G weird? is it entirely because she didnt drinkmthe Koolaid? Ellen, I didn’t know she’d...

It is amazing. I remember you first introduced me to it. It deserves its place in the top five television dramas of all times. Sopranos. The wire....

About pausing the film when needed, that is exactly why I miss going to theaters. That experience required me to be immersed in the film. The dark...

Let us inow what you think. For me, I can’t think of a film to get me back into theaters.

Re: youtube podcasts I’m sure anyone paying attention to social issues has heard the idea that today’s political leftie ideology has taken the...

Four cats is a LOT of cats. Bless you for taking them in. My brother is a cat man and he and his wife have had four as many as four at one time,...

the book These silent woods isn’t about that guy in Oregon is it? They made a movie about it.

Oh, i am sorry you are experiencing this.

Siouz, it’s too bad you missed the cool weather that’s happening now. You’ve been here during hot spells and sure that is typical for St. Louis, but...

My city library is subscribing to an online version of our city newspaper. This is a big deal for me because I’ve been trying off and on for six...

I watched the video linked in the Vanity Fair article and it does not show Donald Trump saying what the headline said he said. I’m not disputing...

We use Apple SE series phones. They are the smaller, cheaper line of Apple phones, although of course since they are Apple they aren’t cheap.

Oooooooo free apricots! we have apricot trees, but they seldom give us us much of a crop. And then back when we lived in the city, in a year where...

Agreed.

The BMA, the British Medical Association, has recommended that the Cass report be ignored. This is a very recent development. The Cass report...

I believe the shoving bit and that is not cool at all.

Show me the exact link to image(s) you want me to diagnose. I’ve seen one. There is no question in my mind that Trump acting like Trump would be...

please provide a link to the commercial

You can think it’s creepy to stand at a gravesite and smile. It’s a free country. I’m not so sure that “the law is a law “applies in the...

Looking at the facts that I’ve presented, the Arlington cemetery headlines news from NPR etc. is not accurately representing what really happened. ...

I don’t like being a Trump apologist, but there is a certain logic in what he says, if it was accurately reported and if I’m interpreting it...

And now I’m a little hot under the collar because I see that one of these 13 dead soldiers honored at Arlington was someone local to me. And his dad...

Lovely. These images remind me of Eyvind Earle’s work.

right, that is a beautiful piece.

What is “socialized IVF?”

It IS funny.But it doesn’t make me throw up. sometimes things can be taken as funny whether or not they are intended as such.

Come out as? Ok if you say so. He has been for some time downplaying that issue and suggesting compromises on gestational limits. But hey, the...

Oh! I didn’t realize this post was your typical Trump-hate bait. God, I am so naive. Here I thought you had an interesting story about someone you...

I don’t do much with seeds, but I divide plants a lot. I seem to spend my life dividing iris and lilies, and looking for a home for those divisions....

I doubt that anyone is standing thumbs up at the casket of a small child or a young person.

Mormons seem to like graveside photos and yes, one wannabe influencer I know was smiling for the camera at her grandmother’s funeral as she stood by...

Nice!

my sister-in-law has been on one for a year and lost a ton of weight. I’m skeptical of their overall safety long-term . I need to drop pounds but...

Rue is an interesting looking plant. an anti-frugal news, several of the plants we put in the ground several weeks ago do not look good. Even...

Great news!

our Hermann building looks nothing like those old Victorian factories. We had many of those factories in St. Louis turned into residential lofts,...

awwwww, the old cats are in for chaos. It won’t hurt them.

I would be thrilled with any restaurant coming into Hermann that is as reliably good as that restaurant for which you have a strange obsession.

Oh Lord. Get new ones. or, get a new one for yourself and let your DH waisted his own time on his own computer. but if his computer is open to...

We get beef from DH’s brother on his family farm. Those cows are fed a mix of grass and grain. We really like this product.

ummmm…. neither of you have to look at this building as I do. My fondest hope for it is that it is torn down, but that’s not going to happen because...

Those women who are always “put together” often wear scarves. I admire the looks.

The Babylon Bee’s headline last week was about Trump adding RFK Junior to the ticket so as to attract future bullets in the Kennedy direction....
