@jon-nyc said in All settled except some minor details: @lufins-dad that’s a good distance. Easy enough to get him for long weekends but not so close he brings his laundry home to you. Agreed. Three hours was my undergrad-to-home distance, and it´s my distance to home now, too. Just perfect. Congrats to Luke!

Wow, thats a nice looking place.

@jon-nyc said in Time for a new barber: I think you’ll have more control with a circular saw, Brenda. Arms won’t get as tired either. LOL, Jon. I'm scary enough with the electric hair trimmer.

Me, too, Jodi. I love crosswords and many puzzles. I'll have to try it when I'm not tired. LOL

Kind of funny, the headline is: "The Biden Federal Housing Administration is Now Guaranteeing Mortgages for Illegal Aliens with DACA Status" But, the sentence in the article says: "...illegal aliens whose illegal parents allegedly brought them stateside when they were children — will now be eligible for home loan applications thanks to a change in FHA policy that was brought about right before President Joe Biden took office." While the headline is "technically" correct, it could have also been said "President Trump administration changes FHA rules to Guarantee Mortages for Illegal Aliens with DACA status"

The interesting part is whether the Pope fully agreed with it or not, because he had been hinting otherwise.

@jodi said in Mother used deep-fake photos to frame daughters cheerleading rivals: @george-k Yup - she has eyebrows, they’ve just been covered over with lots of makeup and made WAY bigger. This was posted on a FB group that I'm in...it has to do with cats. But, geez...

The whole "defund police" thing makes me crazy. These folks see humanity at its worst - and we ask a lot of them. I can't imagine too many people being able to endure this woman.

@lufins-dad said in Can you imagine this ad today?: I ask again, do you really think those ads would be frowned upon? https://apple.news/AesVoFh8vSwCl8EdSqgjxsg The two are different in nature. One is an employer wanting their employees to look/act a certain way. The other are individuals choosing the look/act a certain way. A closer comparison might be something like this: https://www.hooters.com/hooters-girls/ The Thai variant is a bit more specific: https://www.hootersasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/JD-OP04-Hooters-Girl-Waitress.pdf

A blunder or a test run?

What a story. How sad that it took all these years for him to finally get successful treatment.

@doctor-phibes said in Rating Nursing Homes: @loki said in Rating Nursing Homes: I’ve always known I would rather die than go to a nursing home. Good news/Bad news - You'll die either way. Yeah, but it will be autonomously versus in an undead government funded facility.

The only safe humor for boomers. See, we aren’t cancelled.

The right answer is not "it was only 6 votes" The right answer is more like "we have reason to believe the count is wrong" And it's ok if we cheat because we are not old white men

@taiwan_girl said in Tackling drills would have been a lot more fun.: @jolly Though as a "counterpoint", I was shown an article where there are a number of states that are looking to restrict or ban transgenders from competing in the opposite sex sports. The article asked those states for specific examples within those states where there were transgender people competing on opposite sex sports that were a problem, and pretty much every state could not name an example within their state. As the article say, "It is a solution in search of a problem" (Just to be clear, I think that transgender people completing in opposite sex sports does give them an advantage) Connecticut has already had a problem. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Athletically speaking...Back in the dim mists of high school, I was slower than an arthritic turtle. We're talking 5.8 40's. That's laughable. I was faster than a lot of girls and a heckuva lot stronger. For example, I have jacked a softball over a three hundred foot fence...I don't think there are any women in NCAA softball who could do that.

If you've seen his retirement notice on Instagram, it was given by his children, not him. He'll be ok. The Saints owe him a few million in dead money and NBC has already offered him a multi-million dollar contract. Brees will probably start out doing Notre Dame (he is an old Purdue guy and knows a lot abiut the Midwest) and eventually take over for Collinsworth on Sunday Night Football. Besides, he's building a new house in Hawaii and he has his homes in New Orleans and San Diego. Personally, I think he should keep residency in New Orleans, for at least a good part of the year. Cassidy will be in the Senate for five more years. Brees is a moderate Republican and would be tailor-made for this state. Brees could win in a walk.

@doctor-phibes said in Uh, about that June wedding...: once he ran for President he appeared to be become a bit of a turd without any real core beliefs of his own. Yeah, I've always felt that with Romney, there's no there there.

A couple of fairly obvious things... Wherever you may want to install the heater, bear in mind hot air rises. For efficiency, the thermostat should be placed close to the liquids stored.
