    @Steve-Miller said: Politics in Ohio is a blood sport. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a fairly recent development. I hope it is short lived. I’ve never seen it this bad and it reeks of Steve Bannon.
  • One of the best actresses of my generation

    Who else is on my list? Rose McGowan. The best. "I was good. I could have been great." She was great. The best film actress of my generation, with a career headed into the stratosphere. Then she got blacklisted. Hence, "Charmed", and the rest is history. Brooke Shields. Ok. She could barely act her way out of a paper bag. But look at her, from when she was born until now. What can you say. Her biography includes the fact she earned a degree in French literature, and the unusual enough fact her father was a penniless aristocrat. She did a TV show where she presented genealogical research tracing her ancestry to a king of France. So she goes to Paris and is filmed standing next to her ancestor the King's bust. As one does. A "big star" in the culture. Not a "great star" in any sense. She probably doesn't belong on my list but I'm putting her on it anyway. I'll try to think of more. My grandfather (b. 1903) told me about Clara Bow (b. 1905) when asked about female stars. Times change!

    How about "solvable" instead of "soluble"? Solvability instead of solubility? Or "solve" as a noun (in place of "solution")? Americans usually say "solvable" in the context of discussing a problem. The Indians say "soluble" instead (at least that's what I noticed from watching Indian-produced math-centric YouTube videos).

    @AndyD also she’s married to Elvis Costello, right? He’s another singer with a very original style. What an interesting couple, musically!

    She thinks she's King Charles with his artisanal products. She thinks she's Martha Stewart. She thinks she knows how to cook. She thinks she's a writer? She could write a real tell-all. Of course, she won't. She's a former prostitute, in Epstein files no less. She's a D-list actress whose claim to fame is her ability to cry one tear on command. She explained this and demonstrated this on video. Then she actually did it the Queen's funeral. Obscene. To the point, she's a failure in business. She's keeps trying because the part of her brain that is delusional has no off switch.

    Ok, I read the second article… yeah, I don’t like the model. I don’t like the fact that the company can drain the battery so you may not be at 100% when an outage happens. Although we have zero backup at present, so I’m in no position to be so choosy.

    @kluurs I’m sorry about the wax ring problem. That’s the kind of thing that you just can’t foresee, but sooo soo frustrating when it happens. Having to drive “all the way to Canada” for just the one thing… I totally get that. happy birthday to Spouse Kluurs!

    If you see a sign about pickpockets, try to avoid reflexively tapping your wallet or phone. That’s a clear indication to pickpockets showing the target area!
