Link to video Ok, I lell my HS story. My best friend Hara and I were the two alternates. We couldn't serve well enough. We had no game to speak of. We didn't have the knowledge needed to get through a match. If we had the experience we would still not have the stamina. So we enjoyed hitting with each other. I loved hitting in the concrete "courts" they have for this. We spent a lot of time together at city parks for tennis. We listened to music (Broadway, Streisand, almost every album). No disrespect to Streisand at all, but when I hear her voice now, I switch it off. It was definitely a brief musical phase for me though. We talked outback dating (others, not each other, lol). Good times. I wish I could have done more in HS but there wasn't much opportunity for playing tennis in inner city Tampa, and more to the point, I didn't have the opportunity to take lessons. So yeah. Glorified waterboy. Lol!

And control. They want to know who is pregnant. They want to know who has guns. etc.

Republicans seem to believe that the bad consequences will not affect them.

@jon-nyc I don't disagree. I just think the military budget is absurd. Not that voters have any control over it.

I bet they were just glad not to be trekking.

I can see it, Chas.

Belated Birthday Greetings, kluurs! Many happy returns of the day.

I thought this was going to be about fractals (Julia sets).

@RealPlayer said: It must be hard to render faces frontally on coinage because of the way the nose projects outward. I think that’s why they’re traditionally done in profile. Can you imagine doing Washington’s nose frontally? OMG! I wish I could have seen Diana's profile on coins.

My interface is still tiny but the page doubling effect and constant sign in requests are gone today.

@Mik said: I’ve never had a reaction to vaccines, or medications for that matter. I attribute it to my misspent youth. It’s seen it all. Well, your misspent youth and having seen it all have served you well. : ;

They left out "full". These big online stores are very manipulative. Both choosing the product and making the order seem meant to corral the consumer into making rushed decisions. Buyer beware! My blanket is 300 GSM in trailer park green. J/k

I can't think that Eleanor had anything but good intention in her support of the UN but what a mess.

@dolmansaxlil I grew up believing in the rights enshrined in our Constitution, especially First (freedom of speech, separation of church and state, others) and Fourth (warrant required, no presumption of guilt). The current environment often makes no rhyme or reason in comparison, and that's an understatement. Some people want to nuke the earth to go to heaven. I mean I'll just say it. And these same people are trying to impose Christian nationalism in the US.

@Daniel said: Oh my. I’m just kidding. I don’t wish them harm.

Please post pictures. I just researched the Sagrada Família in some detail a few weeks ago. Fascinating.

WTF?

Dear citizens, Use the money to go to the dentist. Or start stocking your pantry for the apocalypse. Or donate your money to charity. Or, pile $500 cash in the middle of the street, light it on the fire, and roast marshmallows.
