Wait! I'm presenting a paper at a conference in Cleveland at the end of the month! Is there something I should know?! :panic: Cleveland is in the top ten most dangerous large cities in the US. NYC is far from the top of the list. Istanbul's not Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople a...

Keen observers will note that these people never stated why they were sorry.

My money is that they were sorry that he wasn't taken into custody pending trial.

That is wunnerful news, Foggy! A quick Goggle search of hypermagnesemia says that chomping too many antacids can lead to this state. It is usually associated with renal issues. But our bodies are strange and curious in the ways that they try to regulate the cocktail of chemicals that we ingest or th...

One of the things that the Rethuglicans have taught us is retaliation and revenge are now their legislative purposes. Any hint of bringing articles of impeachment in the House, whether now or in the future when the Dems regain control, will result in the Thugs doing the same when they get the balanc...

I like stories with happy endings, Foogy.

Welcome home!

Best of days to our resident strigine participant!

Hoot Hoot!

Well, I did the vacuuming. I fixed dinner for us two. And, the temps hit 76 degrees, so yes, it was a fine and dandy day, Andy!

I hope you are finding your inner strength to carry on.

Oh man, Fogster!

Thinking nothing but speedy recovery thoughts and a return to normalcy with not only your shoulder but your daily routines.

Should he have reported it for tax purposes? That is tricky, Dan. Gifts are not taxable income. Colvin can help me here but I understand that a gift is a transfer of property without full and adequate consideration. Donors must complete a gift tax return for gifts to others if the value of the gift...

Oops and mea culpa! Thanks one and all for the kind greetings! I screwed up majorly with my birthday. I got the year right. However, I reflexively put it down as 9-4-53 thinking that I was inserting month and date. Only just now did I see that the correct order was day-month-year. One out of three a...

We could go back to the Dead Ball Era in the early 20th Century. Home Run Baker earned his sobriquet even though he never belted more than twelve home runs in a season. His career total was 96 home runs. I agree that a game is more exciting when base runners are circling the bases on singles and ext...

As Henry Higgins put it, "The cold-blooded murder of the English tongue!". It's not just Trump though, you colonials have been butchering our beautiful language for a few centuries now. :lol: Hardhat on! :biggrin: Yeah, but we have preserved the 'R's. What did the Brits do with them? (Tak...

I got four. But I gotta state that question number four was poorly written. (Ducking for cover.) That Latin phrase was first attributed to Cicero in days of yore in a Roman murder trial. No flour was involved in the crime. However, in the Nineteenth Century, an English tort case of Byrne v. Boadle c...

The host mispronounced Mel Blanc's name. It is pronounced like blank. Not like the wine grape, sauvignon blanc.

Just ask Jack Benny.

Elon Musk is so creepy.

Maybe it is time for Arkansas to raise taxes just a little bit to cover these emergencies instead of having the rest of the nation bail them out?

I wonder if the amount of money Lindell spent on advertising on Fox will come out at trial. That might provide some insight as to just how reliant Ucker Carlson and the other misinformation spreaders are on his business.

So, in civil matters depositions can be entered into evidence without the deponent having to testify? I would think that depositions are used either to (a) find out information that may not be obvious--sort of a discovery process or to (b) to gather testimony from percipient or participatory individ...

It seems to me that Twitter's definition of "state run affiliated media" aligns nicely with Faux News, amirite?

Edited to correct the locution in quotation marks.

Too bad vaudeville is no longer around.

It might even play in Peoria.

Also, it is a pity that Ed Sullivan no longer has his variety show. tfg could vie with the plate spinners and animal acts for top billing.

Regarding the tolling of the SOL: He did make an affirmative move to Florida during 2019. Whether this constitutes "time being out of the state" or not is for smarter people than I. I would have more of a problem concerning his tenure in the White House prior to his Florida move. I underst...

No duck tape?

I too am disappointed. Thirty-four counts of falsifying business records. I'd have just as soon that the DA charge them as misdemeanors, offer up probation and a fine and move on. I leave it to Stern (welcome back) and the others to opine whether there could have been more serious charges involved. ...

A la LaVoy. History repeats itself yet again....
