Yes, that is a very odd electoral map to contemporary eyes.

I’ve avoided them too, sort of. I bought a window AC over a decade ago that you could connect to WiFi and control with an app but I never did either. I’ve inherited a couple when I bought this house - a front combo lock I can program via my phone (I can set a temporary one-time code for a tradesman, for example). And I think my thermostat has such capabilities that I’ve never configured. My car has an app that allows me to remotely start it. I like that when it’s very hot or cold out. Really more when it’s very cold out.

Thanks, Al! I have played most of the games on that list (and am familiar with all of them). Daybreak is one of our absolute favourites, and we have had Splendor for over a decade and still play it frequently!

Yeah you can scroll that line of icons to the left by swiping it gently.

@Steve-Miller Lovely! The lights inside the cabinets make it extra nice!

I have not. That's a long way to go for pie!

You're welcome

@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.

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!

Beautiful! Thanks for posting Grotriman’s performance!

@Jodi Yes same town, I'll PM you the HS name (I don't like to share too much out in the open internet

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

Yikes! Those domain names are pretty sketchy aren’t they!

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.
