@AndyD Wow! Gorgeous place. One can fantasize.

We're heading out to Santa Fe for the week. Our sons, daughter-in-law, two step grands are joining us from Las Vegas.

@ShiroKuro said in Has Marjorie Taylor Greene ...: Greene’s resignation from her seat could set the stage for her to seek to replace Trump in the White House in the 2028 election, and possibly become the next leader of the MAGA movement once he exits political life. So is that the real reason? No.

Thanks for the tips, @Rontuner . I think the iron I bought is faulty. It would melt a little solder and then completely fail to melt any more, even with the solder pressed against the iron.

Yeah, that'll solidify the "Jewish vote" for the GOP .....

Good post, Ax.

What is a trillion here or a trillion there to Saudi Arabia. Seriously.

Once again, Republicans seem to only consider laws binding if they help themselves or can be weaponized against those they want to hurt.

A simple case of mistaken identity. (“ I THOUGHT that cop was a prostitute… “)

@ShiroKuro I tried it and it works relieves the swollen feeling, though the discomfort comes back. Shall be doing it again this evening. They do say ending a hot shower with a very brief cold rinse is good for you but I'm not a fan.

@jon-nyc That looks great. I have a kabocha squash that needs cooking; I wonder if I could use it instead of the butternut.

Ha! There is something blooming around here after all. Mr wtg and I went for a brief walk which took us past our friends' house, and lo and behold, their witch hazel is in fragrant full bloom!! I smelled it before I saw it. I love both the scent and the delicate spidery-looking flowers.
