It doesn't "happen to you." You decide.

The stupidity. It burns.

It's too bad English has only "stupid" and "insipid".

There be a word combing "insipid" and " phantasmagorical".

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.

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?!

The EU is terrible imo.

Its currency system is a control mechanism, and has impoverished many of its countries.

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

When you’re on track to lose you might be tempted to take any high volatility play.

But in two weeks, when it’s over, what you’ve decided is what kind of man you are. And that lasts long after the election.

@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.

What's up with that. My understanding is its a thing where young people stay in bed unless they can't help it and then they get in bed again.

I mean is this a real thing? Was it ever?

I don't want to go down the theoretical rabbit hole of how anyone could afford to live like this and how could they get food and water.

I could Google AI it or course but I'd rather ask you all what you think.

Nevermind. I missed my deadline.

I've said this many times but there is no protection for historic building in the US.

Exceptions to this rule need to be on the order of the historic Roosevelt estates in Hyde Park, NY, run by the National Park Service.

There are "historic distracts" but wills can be broken by courts after death (and are) and historic distracts are mandated to participate in "public private partnerships".

The private entity, or the government, can demolish historic buildings and/ or estates (and they do).

It will surprise nobody that I think Trump tower is a monstrosity of a building.

There's the gold everywhere you look. The exterior looks like a giant set of shelves for potted plants. There's the atrium with it's fake water falls.

Nothing redeems it. Even its views of f central park are sub-par given its street address

I deplore cultural desecration especially because once something is destroyed it can never be recreated.

But is anyone here surprised by this?

Please tell me it's-

Do I have this right?

I need to finish a list of clothes washer options by around 7 p.m.

Will you please give me the model number of a new all mechanical SQ with no coin box?

Thanks.

I'll Remember

I'm posting this one because it was used in the soundtrack for the video of her visit with her family.

I like it a lot.

'"I'll Remember" is featured on Madonna's 1995 compilation album, Something to Remember.
Because it was originally recorded as a movie theme song for the 1994 film With Honors, it never appeared on any of her standard studio albums.'

I think it's one of her best songs.

Btw, this was the 'B-side" video to Rain.

I think rain is one of her best videos.

It's easy to find if you want to watch it.

Ray of Light

One of her best videos.

Frozen

My favorite video from this album-

Japanese costumes, settings, characters, and themes.

Italian interview. Ray of Light album promotion tour.

I have listened to this one. I won't again.

I'd rather watch music videos she made for Ray of Light.

It was one her best albums.

Italian interview. TBH, didn't know it existed.

Have no idea what they're saying.

I tried CC. It gave me CC in Italian.

Don't feel like trying to CC into English at the moment.

Including it for relevance to topic.

Matt spoke Italian.

I do what to know what is said in Italian at the end of Turn Up The Radio.

I might put it into some kind of audio translation software one day.
