My 76-year-old mother looks far healthier than Turnip, and she's on her fourth bout with cancer (good news today, though: her scans showed no progression, so they are continuing to monitor without any treatment).

Even better: what if a wide band of white fully overlaps a narrow band of blue and a narrow band of red?

If he gets suspended for 6 months and a day, he has to apply to get reinstated.

Oooh, it's almost big enough to haul all the gear I need for Pennsic!

Fuck it. Saturday was our 22nd anniversary and we spent it with family, so haven't done a special dinner.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEzy BISCUITS! CHEEEEEEEEEEEzy BISCUITS! Cheezy biscuits, cheezy biscuits, cheeEEzy biscuits!

Back in 2005, not-yet-Dr. Vicklund went to Canada for a year to do her dissertation research. She was close enough that about 3 out of every 5 weekends I headed south to the border (I was working in Detroit at the time). My wife loves her some Red Lobster, but it was not convenient where she was sta...

And here I thought Pepsico has had a fine line of products all this time.

Even with the gift link, the failing NY Times refuses to say who the second witness for the defense was, or what they testified to. However, they did bring us the all-important news about all the stupidity that the yammering monkeys outside court had to say. :mad: They talked about the first witnes...

Robin Williams used to claim that Parliament was like Congress, but with a two-beer minimum. I think the roles have reversed.

If my wife hung a flag upside down, there is not a window in my house I could look out of to see it. I would have to go outside and look.

Wait, a plane other than a Boeing had a problem?! Unpossible!

Say "Horry" out loud...

Sounds like I'm going to have a very good understanding of what happened when they finally figure it out. Aside from the fact that it is on a ship, this is my area of expertise.

I admit, I was saddened by the missed opportunity.

The tornado was declared an F2, which is a little higher than I was expecting. It was on the ground for ten minutes and damaged quite a few homes and buildings in three different municipalities, all in my usual stomping grounds. The church that was first hit had about 100 people in it when it hit w...

Diamond isn't a very good construction material, though. It may be hard, but it is also brittle. It's like building with glass that can't be easily cut or scratched.

My brother-in-law has been swatted at least twice since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately the police were on top of things, and were very apologetic just for knocking on the door and disturbing him.

That was the conclusion that the woman on the chat reached, but there wasn't (in the article) any confirmation from the police. There are other possibilities, such as swatting.

My friends/acquaintances from Portage have all checked in. Minimal damage, but some are without power. A lot of tornadoes in Michigan the last year, several times had cloud rotation that passed directly over my house, but either didn't touch down or touched down a few miles downwind.

That would explain things...

Uh, he has in his pants the thing that will prove that Ms Daniels is lying. Does he have the courage? I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if a dozen jurors cried out in horror and were suddenly silenced. :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :nooo: :no...
