Very cute! My convo with Finley yesterday: M: What would you like to give mommy for Christmas? F: sigh… I just don’t know… M: Well… Let’s try this. Tell me what you know about Mommy. When I say Mommy, what’s the first thing that you think of? F: I know she loves me! M: Very good! Anything else? F: And she loves canons, too! M: … Canons? Do you mean candy? That would be a nice gift… F: No! A canon! A superhero canon that she could blast the bad guys…

Very few marijuana charges are on an island. They are normally combined with other charges. DUI, Firearms, Domestic Violence, Assault, Trafficking… In some cases, the drug charges represent parole violations, or the marijuana charges are an escalator for various charges. I don’t think that it can be or should be as simple as pardoning the Marijuana charges… What about a guy serving time for Marijuana. He assaults another prisoner. Does he get released?

Cool stuff. More than half a century ago.

Jesus.

You know...Maybe in 25 years, we'll find out why San Fran Nan didn't want additional security at the Capitol on 1/6. Or how she managed to keep such a tight hold on her caucus. I think Pelosi has always been very good at working in the shadows

That was fun! I’ve not heard of Sabaton; makes me want to checkout more of their stuff.

@Horace said in What happened to the Bee writers that were laid off 18 months ago?: I don’t recall the story about being fired for partying with Elon. They weren’t fired for partying with Elon, just shortly after.

Putin and company kept him alive until such time that they were confident they knew where all the money and offshore assets were stashed.

Really makes you think. If it can happen to Charlie Sheen, it could happen to any of us.

@LuFins-Dad said in Feliz Navidance: I didn’t notice a single questionable gender dancer That's because you're not a biologist.

Just my little joke. However, I must admit, I do find his holiness St. Rand a little aggravating.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Booming Christmas and a Banging New Year: You all do rum cake? That was pretty big back home. Ate the last piece of a Kahlua rum cake today. This is not my wife's recipe, but it looks good: https://www.allrecipes.com/article/my-grandmas-best-kahlua-cake/ Now, rum cakes get better as they sit. I had a boss years back, whose wife made the best rum cake you've ever had. She'd let that thing sit and pour a little more rum into it every so often. I ain't lyin', eat three pieces of Joyce's cake and you'd be above the legal limit to drive.

Crappy time of the year to be impacted - provides one more time for carolling.

They’re not expediting
