So it's not for me? Lol. Beautiful work.

County Clerk is a serious job. One she had no business holding. THE County Clerk is the impartial keeper of records. Of course her personal life is messed up. How could it be any other way?

Sade My friends and I loved her music. Link to video Many Saturday nights began with listening to her and drinking gin and tonics. Good times.

Very nice! Agreed!

Friendly? Just watch!

Oh no. Please don't remind me about needing to repeat insipid sentences all day to "verify my identity". The best however is "prove it's really you" 30 seconds after using a fingerprint as biometric identification.

Embarrassment at every turn with these people. Do you remember Hegseth lecturing a room filled with of career generals flown in from all over the globe, telling them they’re too old and fat? It reminds me of that Woody Allen movie where some clueless standup comedian makes off-color jokes in front of an audience of nuns and religious leaders.

@AndyD said: You guys never watched Baywatch? As seen on Friends, Joey & Chandler watching the girls running along the beach. The Hof was head lifeguard. Yes. I watched it. Yes, I did know that. I was trying to forget it. Painful. Friends was no better. A show about a group of young narcissists, living a life they clearly not only could not afford, but didn't- that aspect of the narrative was like a fictional black hole. The Hawaiian guy Jason what's his name was much better in the role. And that version was just as dumb.

@dolmansaxlil said: I had one pretty much annually as a kid (in the 80s). It was made of cardboard and filled with terrible waxy chocolate in vaguely Christmassy shapes, and I loved it. I don't know if anyone remembers this, or if they're still around, but we had a chocolate maker called Palmer, that made Christmas candy. It was the lowest of the low. I mean you could tell it was the worst quality imaginable 50 years ago, when candy was "real" and not a chemical spill. My guess is they're still here, and that the chocolate is actually some kind processed "food product" colored to look like chocolate. I really wouldn't be surprised after seeing how Nabisco Ritz crackers are made, how fast food is made now, how processed food is made. Even "luxury" chocolate brands are crap. I wish I could have chocolate from Perugia or Belgium or from anywhere artisans truly care about what they're making. FTR, I'm no Christmas Grinch, just Halloween.

@AndyD totally clueless over here, but great photos!

Good idea. There used to be an important concept in the universe of forums- shilling. IRL,the line between shilling and not seems to have almost been erased. I don't trust social media reviews of contractors. I know that system can be gained because I got an estimate from a l. contractor from a company with a 5 star rating (that showed up on Google with the business website (Trust Pilot (?) is what Google was using) and after I got the written estimate, I knew dead to rights the man was a con artist. I doubt his manager didn't know it. Make that make sense.
