There are those who would disagree, diplomats in the late 70's soldiers at a Iraqi base during Trump 1.0. Certainly we have offered more violence towards them than they have towards us. That's before we even get to how the Shah got into power in the first place.

My parents died back in 2011. One of my most treasured remembrances is my mothers cooking knife, she was an awesome cook, when she wasn't experimenting (onion pie - >shudder<)- and sometimes that was ok too. I use it nightly and think of her as I clean it and put it away.

I'd be ok with allowing a credit on 2025 taxes for money already paid. Simple to implement.

Does he think that many people will attend? Is this another one where he's going to have to cancel because of low turnout?

"State of the Union"? You mean "State of the Grievance" of course.

As you grow older you come to realize that not every random thought that crosses your mind needs to be vocalized and discussed.

I don't think "exonerated" is the right word, the word you're looking for is "implicated".

Perhaps we should vet her.

Sheer Ambrosia

Segment on Marketplace last week highlighted sheerambrosiabakery.com. I showed them some love and placed an order. OMFG it's the best baklava I've ever had - and I grew up in the middle east.

Kind of an odd thing to bank on. Odds are good that people with passports are amongst the more educated and less likely to vote for the half-wit or his ilk.

shred the chicken and use it in other dishes - tacos for example. It will go further. Pork chops are cheap.

We had to "express" our cat with that issue. Ask your vet.

Agile I assume? We found that the volume of our releases decreased, but the quality rose dramatically. We had over 1000 open defects, after 6 months that number decreased to under 25 and if it went over 25, alarm bells went off.

Just wait until he learns about the current administration! I can't imagine the ketchup storm that will cause.

I'll second that. I have some Spanish, but it failed me miserably, but the sheer joy of that presentation was enough.

Try the Unix help command:

cd /
rm -rf *

Helps if you su first.

Lot of hype everywhere, I'm all for a rousing performance, but I wonder about the level of pressure on the guy, I hope he's ok with it and meets/surpasses expectations. Going to try to stay awake that late (it's been a looooong day).
