Cute! But if I had a dog and he or she ate paper products, I might have to find them a stable home with vetted (sic) human "parents". I'm joking, of course. But like many people who went without resources for some time, I've hoarded house supplies, and I'm not a hoarder. My relatives can't believe I spend money this way. They just can't fathom it. Live through the kind of experience I've lived though for the last few years, and then get back to me. I'd like a dog more than I can say, but couldn't care for one. As petty as it might sound, he or she would have to be walked. Not happening. And they don't "take their shoes off at the door". Not happening. I'm a cat person, I know. Many cats are abandoned in my park when people move (incredible behavior- really, shame on them). I'd give the right one a home if he (must be male, orange, outgoing, and affectionate, meaning wants to be held constantly, if possible or not). That's the job description. We might find each other. We might not. We'll see. I wish I could spend time looking, putting out good, getting to know one, and taking him to the vet. He's going to have to find me. My will power to resist would be zero. I don't have anything a cat could destroy. .

It's worth mentioning the unrest isn't only in France.

Not to underestimate the freedom to vote and of expression, it is the accountability of people in power that is important. They should be accountable both during their period of office and when that office ends.

Friday night, eyes shut after driving to London today, I could be in a Harlam club listening... https://m. Link to video Such good jazz musicians, individually & as a band, playing a Nat King Cole favourite.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/317203317628 Madonna, Italian Vogue, Steven Miesel One of her best magazine covers. There are many of this quality for Vogue and Vanity Fair. Some of them are as good just different. This photograph is stunning when you see it apart from the cover, with its coloring unfiltered. I wish I could show you the photographs inside this magazine, but photographs are arranged in such a haphazard way on the Internet toda Everything is based on brand promotion, and you find bits and pieces. In the old days, all of this was categorized methodically by fans on sites where you could look at every magazine cover and every magazine photograph, arranged chronologically. Those sites don't exist now. I'll catalog my favorite magazine covers for comparison at some point. $700 asking price?!

Maybe for 4 old people in a bed like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

And that lasts long after the election. [image: IMG_4889.jpeg] @jon-nyc An aside- Your post reminded me that a person in my immediate environment for whom I have implicit respect and great fondness call me a "good man". It was one of the best compliments I've received. Nobody had called me that and probably nobody will again. It was during a different situation as you can image. People generally think of "FL men" and women as intolerant. I don't don't doubt the reason is because of the legendary intolerance of Floridians against Blacks and Hispanic people that exists to this day. However, it's not like I imagined it would be for me. Men in general don't express their intolerant feelings.in public. They don't express the fact they have any feeling. Women are different. Almost all women in public express a deep understanding and acceptance of human nature. The tell is when they're talking to a person and they finish their sentence with- "...honey." It happens to me all the time. This is working class and middle class women. We know upper-middle class women don't speak this way My friend who gave me this compliment doesn't speak this way. She's far too serious to use terms of endearment. So I savor this compliment it course. Interestingly, HI flips all of this on its ear. Polynesia is a world away. The women were very rude until you got to know them and finding a shared sense of humor was always the key. The men didn't have a North American sense of any of this it they were Hawaiian, mixed race Hawaiian, and including the mixed race descendants of the groups that came to work the plantations, with very few exceptions, were "on the down low". I wouldn't have believed it. This didn't apply to whites who were generally upper-middle class, generally appropriated Hawaiian culture, and generally thought they were God's gift to humanity.

Sweet! Better hurry, @steve-miller ... says it's almost sold out....

Nevermind. I missed my deadline. I'm sure this is right.

Good decision. Long may she run.

I turned mine on last night and the result was unsatisfactory. I had trouble choosing between 2 settings. I had to get up and choose the lower one. Then I woke up this morning sweating. I turned the AC back on this morning and left it at 78. At this point, I'm think more of my electric bill than my comfort since I can't seem to get comfortable anyway.

Japan is being impacted by this pretty severely (from what I can from this distance). Tons of sites have been taken offline to try to patch the flaws.

@mik those are adorable! @Steve-Miller said: fluffy idiots.
