@Mik said: All ills have a genesis. They are seldom as clear as this one. Yea, Bill Clinton was sure subjected to his fair share of lawfare. Whitewater, Lewinsky, Marc Rich. I don't even remember most of the stuff they pummeled him with. And who was that guy who committed suicide? There isn't a genesis. It's a continuum.

Sent it to the guy that tunes my piano. I want to see it.

A lot of my plants died last winter because it was so cold for so long. The plants that survived, however, look better than they ever have. Iris - new last year. .

My first attempt at using that gray plant (what is it?) in flowerpot designs. [image: IMG-5997.jpg] The view from my patio chair makes me very happy! [image: IMG-6004.jpg]

My favorite is Publix Greenlee USDA organic vanilla. It's only $5.53 for a quart. I eat it all even though it's more than one serving. I don't care. If I'm being honest, it has too much air in it, but I can live with it.

I plan to get receipts and never let anyone approach me and I'll make sure the pump resets. At almost $5 I don't doubt scammers are as ubiquitous as mosquitoes.

Gotta have a snappy comeback. “Oh, didn’t I tell you?” “No. “ “Well, I must have figured it wasn't any of your damn business. “

Happy Birthday!

@wtg said: Once they find a bunch of plants and get going, they will keep after that patch and potentially eat everything to the ground. I was checking today and it didn't seem like there was any new damage/eaten bits. @wtg said: You really are down to a choice between an ugly fence or no flowers. Most likely. And if so, it will be no flowers because there's no way I'd put up a physical barrier here.

That’s pretty high if it’s generic. I usually pay like $13.

I live at 9000 ft for a reason.

I noticed there is also a trend of renaming things after our current president. I think this now may become “in depends” day…

This story made me tear up when I read it yesterday. I don’t mind dogs shooting people, but I really miss the gas prices listed in that picture…

Just finished listening to this: [image: 1779881614216-img_2591.jpeg] I really enjoyed it. Hearing about how he grew up poor in the projects and made it to Harvard than HLS and then how he stumbled into Goldman through the back door was interesting. And his inside take on the great financial crisis was interesting and brought back a lot of my own memories.

Happy Birthday!

I think you'll find that bias pretty common here.
