    I read 30 or more years ago that Syphilis originated, or at least it was postulated to have originated, in the New World, specifically in the Andes. The Spanish apparently thought so as early as the p perhaps the 16th or definitely, 17th Century. As the saying by the middle of the 18 century went; “T’is better to lose one’s mistress than one’s nose”. This may only be archeological confirmation of what was already suspected or commonly accepted.

    How about this. Saw it yesterday in Sedona, which is surprisingly Trump oriented. [image: 1735387462703-0337cb25-8228-42c3-8c26-bfda73ebef5d-image.png]

    For the people that first lived in these the other option was probably the whole family in one room so it was an uptick for them.

    I enjoyed Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" because it was fairly close to the book. Looking forward to this. BTW, if you haven't read the book, do it. It's probably been 20 years since I read it, but I remember loving it.

    We’ve had a thread on her before. I recall that in her first meeting with Rachmaninoff he asked her what piece she wanted to play. She told him. Then he asked her to play it for him in some other key that he specified.

    When you see/hear the tape, you can say committed. I doubt you’d use that langauge to describe some random guy caught robbing a store on video.

    @Axtremus said in Taking Christ out of Christmas: If you can do yoga without Hinduism, you can celebrate Christmas without Christ. What the actual hell does that mean? Is yoga a fundamental basis for Hinduism?

    @George-K said in More Insurrection!: David Schulte, the former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal The landlord: https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2018/06/04/former-obama-vacation-home-sold The Chilmark home rented by President Obama and his family for a 2013 family vacation sold June 1 for $15 million. The home on Snail Road owned by David and Patty Schulte of Chicago and Chilmark had been on the market for several years. The buyer was Menemshovitz Realty Trust, represented by an attorney at Gibbons Law Firm in New York city. Wallace and Co. Sotheby’s International had the listing, with Tom Wallace as principal broker. According to the online listing, the sale price did not include an additional purchase of furnishings and art for $2.35 million. The contemporary style, 7,000-square-foot house sits of 9.5 acres of land with views of Chilmark Pond and the south shore beyond. The house was built in 2006 and includes a host of amenities, including a guest house, heated infinity pool, basketball court, and access to a private ocean beach. The Schultes bought the property in 2000 and built a new home to replace an old camp. In 2015 Mr. Schulte told the Gazette that he and his wife decided to put the property up for sale because of changing family needs. The original asking price was $22.5 million. In 2013 the Schultes rented the property to the Obama family for a 10-day summer vacation. Mr. Schulte was a long-time supporter of the president, but the family was initially reluctant to rent their home when Mr. Wallace, also the chief rental agent for the Obamas on the Vineyard, approached them with the idea.

    @jon-nyc said in Honey Trap: I had it for a few months when I first heard about it (here probably) but got rid of it later. Same here. I think all the similar apps are a waste of time.

    @George-K said in Old People on The Internet: [image: 1735304183011-image.png] Take my word for it. You want at least a $200 genital. Anything less is asking for trouble.
