People are so funny. A friend just left her husband of 17 years & announced it by declaring herself in a relationship with another man… then wonders why people are β€œtalking behind her back”??

Honestly, I generally don’t wear these things on flights, but I am sorely tempted!!

OTD in 2009 Sergey Magnitsky was beaten to death for exposing a massive tax fraud scheme. I've always told Ed Snowden to relax as we only kill our own whistleblowers.

Yep! Between the Rose Garden Cafe and the ballroom, it’s looking more and more like Mar-a-Lago every day

What is with Trump and everything being β€œhot” lately? Has he been hanging out with Paris Hilton from 2004?

Your odds are slightly better, but we have 16 times more miles of roadway, and a whole lot of wide open spaces where speeding is a way of life. You have more walkable communities, as well.

The hospital where my cardiologist has privileges is looking at closing their maternity ward because of this. I was shocked. People will say it won’t happen, but I’m talking about a major hospital in the suburb of a large city, and it’s happening.

This is something which has been in the back of my mind. Who is going to end up bearing the cost to keep her body going for months in order to be a living incubator? The cost is going to be huge. Is her family, who didn’t want this, going to be on the hook? It’s insane.

Told my husband it had to be a propulsion or steering failure - ain’t no way they didn’t know mast vs bridge deck clearance.

It’s so sad to me that a woman I’ve known for nearly 50 years; born and raised in this country, and of Korean descent, tells me she’s nervous to travel WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS because things have become so unpredictable.

We live in WA State & thought we’d get through the gov’t foolishness w/less impact. Just came from an MD appt where I was told our nearby hospital is emergency planning a closure of their labor/delivery section & other depts will soon need to provide further justification of their need. Great.

Folks, I implore you: if you ride public transit of any kind - plane, train, subway, etc - please remember that when you are wearing a backpack, you’re another foot wider than you’re used to being. (As someone who keeps getting bopped in the face and head…)

Why do people at the airport feel they can sprawl all over chairs and benches at prime travel hours? Why is it we suspend so much common decency?

A novel concept: if you fly Southwest, and you don’t either check in 23:59 hrs before your flight, or pay for a position upgrade, you do NOT get to bitch about having to sit in a middle seat.

I do think the general populace - regardless of their political bent - believes politicians are corrupt. Not nearly enough people personally know their elected officials and can judge whether or not they are responsible people of good intent.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Did you get the impression he was trying to figure out if he could tell a lie about having been there at some point?

This β€œdisrespectful” shit makes me crazy. Tell a head of State they must come see you to get help. They come. Then insult them in front of worldwide media, insist that they kowtow, and then call THEM disrespectful. It’s mind-boggling.

It’s interesting where the lines were drawn. I was forbidden from carrying a hockey stick on a flight in 1982.

This is an excellent point. I work adjacent to boilermakers, welders, electricians, general mechanics. The guys who have done it their whole working lives are wearing out by age 60 & sometimes have trouble getting to current retirement age. Can’t imagine adding MORE. They’ll die where they stand.

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Psst...if we started work later, we'd get out of work later too. Standard Time keeps clocks honest!

The answers I’ve seen in The Other Place suggest the idiots believe all spending must stop until it can be determined whether the money going to NIH is being wasted. No one seems to be able to answer who, exactly, will be making that determination.
