    Yes, I saw that there are a couple of those out there.

    I for one find these clips embarrassing. In my filter bubble, the clips have mostly received ridicule, but that may be different in the general public.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Time for an update....:

    Crap, now I have to go take a Benadryl.

    When Mrs. George and I were first married, we had two cats - Sadie and Oscar. They were both domestic shorthairs (DSH). Great cats. After about 6 months of marriage, she started having flare-ups with her asthma. It was so bad that she was giving herself injections of epinephrine to stop the asthmatic attacks.

    Ever since that time, she has been, understandably, afraid of cats. We had many pets since then, and all of them were not a problem with her allergies (other than a cockatiel). Our two dogs, (also) Oscar and Oliver were not a problem. Neither was Sidney.

    In 2012, D3 had to re-home The Bee. The Bee is a domestic longhair(DLH). We accepted her into our home on the condition that, if Mrs. George had issues with allergies, D3 would have to find somewhere else to home her. Despite the fact that The Bee is a very difficult animal, there have been zero allergy issues. Because of our experience with her, when Oliver the dog died, we agreed to adopt Maggie (another domestic longhair). She's had no allergy problems with Maggie in the house.

    So, based on our experience with The Bee and Maggie we felt comfortable getting Boris. Mrs. George is fine with him as well.

    All that said, this is one family's experience. In our house, it seems that DLH cats are less allergenic than DSH cats.

    I should add that D4 has a DSH, and her presence bothers Mrs. George.

    Go figger.

    No, part of the process is to break the ground beef and vegetables down into tiny tiny pieces. I think it would make a good ragu, but it would not be Bolognese.

    It’s delicious by the way. Probably thue best I have made.

    It's yet to be proven that the voters picked Biden. I think anyone who actually believes they did is mentally ill.

    I guess that would be me then. 555

    Interesting. How have the they decided upon the area of distribution?

    For example, I see that Novavax is mainly going to India.

    Of course you don't. You would have no problem with your sons working as blowjob hustlers to get through school.

    Presumably, Mondale didn't continue having rallies after he lost.

    Because that's some weird shit.

    You know what's oppressive? Being on a ventilator. No thanks!

    Actually since Cuomo doesn’t want the vaccine we should ship the 100,000 plus ventilators we have to him.

    Also very impressed by the video editing. Had the processes not been compressed into sub-30 second videos, we would not have the patience to know that such feats have been performed.

    I once heard a story, perhaps apocryphal, about a guy who’s buddy was getting married so as a joke he had a pregnant friend sneak in to the wedding. When the officiant said the piece about whether anyone knows any reason why the marriage shouldn’t occur, she stands up, hand on her pregnant belly, and says “But Dan!! I love you!!!”
