Omg!

She didn't have sex with men to advance her career.

She explains this all here.

Btw, Madonna slept with whoever she thought would benefit her career and then dumped them.

I don't understand promiscuity.

But that's just me.

I got a generic brand holder, backlit keyboard.

It's a laptop!

I had mixed feelings about buying an Apple product but I'm in love.

Band.

Stuff on this can be found all over YouTube.

Oh wow. Listen to her leading Smokey Mountain folk songs.

Yes and seems so random as always.

Yes, and Madonna took the first "selfie" in "Desperately Seeking Susan."

I mean this as a cultural phenomenon, strictly speaking.

People have been pointing cameras at themselves and others for a long time.

Lol!

Well, they were a communist country for the better part of a century.

I will make a note to unpack my smallest violin to play for the oligarchs whose assets are seized.

I know the subtext is- "Putin bad!"

10 years of Trump the Ubiquitous and- "Putin bad!" have made a long 10 years.

I know this is a legitimate news story but Russia didn't practice "capitalism," either before the break up of the USSR, or after.

Interesting.

QEII had them. Assume she could have had any breed. That's a recommendation.

Not a dog person.

Wouldn't know where to begin.

I wanted to post "tang" but thought better about it. : )

Just yesterday replaced the power cords (a couple were at least 40 yrs old!) and rearranged everything I have plugged into them.

I haven't learned to use my fire extinguishers (I know - super dumb) yet or my very unusual trap door.

I will.

My father was an electrician. I miss being able to ask him questions.

@bernard wait, you have an electric co-op? How does that work.

I have no choice but Duke Energy.

Yes, from North Carolina.

It's expensive and the billing options are complex but no choice.

Bring back public utilities.

Congrats on your new service!

She was already legendary in the early ’70’s; she was a great entertainer; she was humble; and, she meant a lot to the people who identified with her, for all kinds of reasons. Rest in peace.

A traumatic brain injury can result in the skull hitting or being hit with less than 10 mph or force moving against a stationary object.

At least that's what the advocacy group told us after my then 16 year old brother's skull hit the stationary A pillar of a crashed truck at 40 mph with no seatbelt.

Anyone who thinks some football players aren't being severely damaged is an idiot.

No!

Lucky you guys!

I haven't been and if I did go I would make a pilgrimage to the Place Vendôme.

Napoleon's architecture is great.

I'd like to see it

The main reason I'd like to visit is because of the jewelers who immigrated here from other countries in the late 19th century.

It was then and is still today home to many great house's retail spaces and workshops on the upper floors.

So word is Harry is in trouble with the Feds because he told material lie(s) in his immigration paperwork.

My source is LadyC (pen name obviously), who divorced a peer, The Duke of Argyll

She's one of the most reliable sources I know. The only one I'd put in the same category is Tom Bower the investigative journalist.

She shares what she knows within legal constraints; she's entertaining; and her analytical skill is a joy to witness.

Harry, as I've long predicted he would be, is in a bad way.

He needed this too...

Dumfries House - Dumfries House https://share.google/y1JUQgQyFMEXFR1qh

9th generation marquess sold his family's house with Chippendale furniture in situ.

How could Charles resist?

He and Camilla (hers really because I watched her say it) have a narrative that it was a dilapidated property (it wasn't) and it needed to be saved (it didn't), and finally, it was bought by a charity for charitable purposes (do I need to comment).

He has scrubbed the place clean and it is an exquisite house.

My favorite era and design of houses and gardens...
