there ain't no sanity clause.

@shirokuro Something tells me a a charcuterie board isn't in my future. I do have a bamboo cutting board with grooves running the perimeter of one side. I could use that and put a variety of food items on it. Lol. I'm so lacking in food shopping and cooking ability. I'm getting better but will never be good at it Actually I remmber these from all the times professors hosted groups of us in their homes as they did on many occasions.

This is such a shame. I love Nicki Minaj's music. Her latest "Christian" output no however. Says She’s ‘Not Going Anywhere’ After Donald Trump Calls Her His ‘Favorite’: ‘She’s Been With Me a Long Time’ bit.ly/47yfYd4 I've followed her since she was rapping on the streets of Queens, before she was discovered on My Space. I watched her become famous as the GOAT female rapper. I watched her fuse hip hop and pop. I'm saying I know her career inside and out. This is not who she ever was. This is not what she ever represented. In fact, this is contrary to we who she was and everything she's done. I'll post my favorite videos at some point. But this. Fair warning. The next thing I have to say will probably not be believed by many here but could not be more clear to me. She's been brainwashed. I'll leave it at that.

@kluurs doh! I bought that book on Kindle last year! I just haven't read it yet. And there's no audio version.

@DougG said: “old movies” That's why I used scare quotes in the thread title! Oh wait, you said "talkies" ...

That's fine. But what about the other things generated? I believe these things might include toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution. I was thinking as a person does about all of those 5 acres rural land plots for 50k for sale in my state and many others. I was thinking how could you know it wouldn't be next to such a facility either now or in the immediate future?

I just discovered this group last night. They've been around since 2008! Techno swing... There's a great mike handoff about 3/4 way through. Link to video A bit more techo: Link to video

@Axtremus Just like with reading music, I winged it! As soon as I had 4 syllables, I was there. No counting for me…

@adagiom You are living the life! Many thanks for sharing!

It's many countries. And yes. Be safe.

Daniel said: @bernard I do a routine of things that are thebself care you're saying. And yes I avoid toxic people. I didn't used to have toxic people in my life. It took a lot of inner conflict and struggle and frankly financial resource but I achieved it. Of course I meant to say"did have" toxic people in my life.

Crocodile tears.

Mr. Monopoly is a great character even if he does try to monopolize everything.

I love Barbara Kingsolver. I haven’t read anything by her in ages. The last book I read by her was Animal Vegetable Mineral. I also loved The Poisonwood Bible (both gardener related). Bean Trees, Prodigal Summer and Animal Dreams are the others Ive read, all when we lived in Idaho in the 90’s! But she’s written tons more. I will definitely check this latest one out. I’ve been using Steve’s new Kindle. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s really nice to read from. I may have to get my own the next time they are on sale.

I hurkle durkled today. Wrote a very long blog post about the rest of our river cruise. But I also got up in the middle to play the piano, which I hadn’t done since I got home.

I have a hatchback. I use the back for hauling. I leave the rear seats down and have stored the removable 'boot cover" (?) behind a piece of furniture in my dining room. The large SUV's,.e.g. Hyundai Santa Fe are actually nice but $$$$.
