That is a profoundly incompetent tiger.

Hmmm… maybe there IS such thing as bad publicly.

@Mik said in What would you do? Go to the funeral?: Aqua, I did find at my MIL's visitation that I was extraneous. MFR and her siblings were the center as they should be. I did tell her in advance I would be keeping my distance. Thanks, Mik. I'm hoping that's also the case with my in-laws.

I have no problem with her outspoken disdain for Trump, her condemnations for him and his conduct, etc… Her involvement in the farce that is/was the January 6th committee is something else entirely. Anybody with voluntary involvement with that farce has disqualified themselves from ever getting my support.

@Mik said in Alberta strikes again - cancer research: He apparently angered the church by proving that the rhythm method does not work. After extensive practical research?

@89th said in Tampa Police Chief Story: She didn't even do it right. She's supposed to have a $20 bill folded under her badge as she hands it to the cop. A couple sawbucks is enough? Who knew?

@Mik said in Bucs vs Saints: You pegged the two key plays. That last pass was perfect. No reason he should not have held on to it. And one first down would have done it. Taysom is not really a tight end, although he does play that position a good bit. On that play, he got lit up pretty well by two defenders. Those seam routes into coverage have long been a Saints favorite, but it takes a big body to absorb the hit you know is coming.

I have spent many evenings in restaurants on the same block as that theater. I’m very, very surprised they would host a drag show.

The savior of the republic gets fourteen more years. https://abcnews.go.com/US/disgraced-lawyer-michael-avenatti-onetime-opponent-donald-trump/story?id=94509483 Yeah, it's concurrent.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj said in a statement, “The lesson that we should take away is that we can’t continue to operate in silos when the safety of our children, or anyone in the community, is at stake.”” She’s one of those that needs indicted.

That being said, I might be the one who is dumb. The little yellow line does show a turn towards the left right before the crash. https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2022/12/ntsb-releases-preliminary-report-on-gaithersburg-plane-crash/

RIP. Not sure what her scientological teachings would indicate about this transition.

Update! I made a similar comment to my wife, who agreed it was a FOMO move. She also said it's a good idea to book our visit with Santa so it's on the calendar, so now we are booked. So glad we got a spot before they sold out!
