    They do some good sometimes but what I like seeing most is when they make some draconian decision, face backlash, and then set the laws/ rules back the way they found them. This happens with some frequency.

    I was going to say I love the light fixtures. I didn't see it was reproduction Tiffany. I love the dragonfly motif. It is among my favorite animal motifs along with geckos, frogs, and beetles. Well done!

    Joe, Aren't you glad you aren't living on the street? I don't know how the homeless manage the winter here, let alone there.

    Hallmark is considered great work by actors. It's like the A Team - you know exactly what you're going to get.

  • Why the Queen Mother was my least favorite except Andrew

    It's too bad for William. All reports are he's furious at basically everyone except Princess Anne. He, Catherine, and his family are essentially doing everything right, are able, charismatic, and popular. Meanwhile, the family is behaving badly, starting with Charles, who unlike his sister, was never fit the role. He was too slow to take action against Andrew, too late to take action against Andrew's less the useful ex wife, who has her own ties to the scandal, and the same story with Harry and Meghan, except worse, because he's done nothing, while they have the emotional development of four year olds, and have dragged the he family through the mud for seven years and counting. His own wife is less than useful. Charles' public annocement she would be given the title of Princess Consort was obviously a lie when he announced it. Queen Elizabeth's consent to elevating Camilla to Queen Consort was an own goal. Watch the coronation ceremony. The family walked by her and ignored her. This was an extraordinary, if not unheard of, dramatic, and deliberate breach of protocol. This is aside from the fact he refuses to act like the head of the Church of England. This is aside from the fact he is a climate hypocrite to extent that is mind boggling, when you look at not only his constant speeches, the usual travel you would expect, and the large toxic dump next a residential neighborhood that he won't pay a penny to clean up and although that's the law, his ducal property is except from it. He's a hypocrite, the laws don't apply to him, and he doesn't care if his toxic causes people to drop dead. It would be a shame if William didn't have a chance to ascend to the throne and at least have a chance to get this circus under control because his family has acted reprehensibly and incompetently. The latest bombshell pictures of are of Andrew with a grin on his face leaning over a woman on the floor who is clearly either unconscious or dead.

    @jon-nyc I remember loving this one. When I lived in Queens, this was about what my co-workers thought when I told them I was from Portland. They only knew Seattle and Los Angeles.

    It looks very comfortable. My grandparents' house had wall to wall carpet except the bathrooms and a screened in (and second) Florida room (the first was on the front of the house and was an enclosed office). The screen room had the washer and dryer and led into the fenced backyard. You weren't allowed to wear shoes. The carpet was vacuumed once a day. I wouldn't mind it!
