The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Mrs Whiggins replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Not here, but I do have empathy for those who found it a source of anxiety and angst. I grew up in a multi-generational home and it was considered by those elders as one of the marks of a good student, ergo, it was done. -

It's not my area of study, but there was research that suggested that handwriting did assist children with sensorimotor skils and memory. Arts integrated curricula were included with this as well. Perhaps one can find other newer methods that would perform likewise, but handing children a piece of paper and a pencil is a lot cheaper so I have no objections to it. Plus, when the power grid fails and our infrastructure collapses, we'll all be educating the children in tents and encampments anyway. -
Business jet crashes in San Diego, multiple fatalities
Mrs Whiggins replied to Pancho's topic in Daily Texan
This is Surly and I'm pretty sure based on the dietary habits of most members, y'all don't have to worry about landing the plane--you're going to die of dysentery. The pilot in California crashed because he was in a hurry to get the cinchoa to the Inca king. -
Rep for the rec. We watched it last night, and it was worth it.

Tips on Youth Coaching - Flag Football
Mrs Whiggins replied to EvilCaseMcCoy's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I have tip #8 to add to your seven listed above: Make sure you teach them how to do the team shuffle around the vomit on the field (The Replacements) because too much red Gatorade in a young stomach on a hot day is a thing. -
If I ate one of those mass produced extruded cheese balls every time these guys (it's almost always the 'red-pilled *guns-eagle-freedom-Jesus-mansplaining' males that do this) tossed around the word "Marx" or "marxist," I would be as orange as the current leader of our country. It's such a tell, and I highly doubt they could truly connect the dots between economic and government (political) systems and the differences, histories, and nuances of each. But damn, they sure do know how to projectile vomit the talking points. *unashamedly stolen from @Brisketexan

She's so good. One of my favorite films she was in later in her career is Shall We Dance (2004), starring Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. It was a remake of a Japanese film and while some of the reviews compare it as not as good as the original, there's plenty to enjoy with it if you haven't seen it. Spoiler comment about her character:

In light of the regime discussing costs for pharma/drugs, perhaps this is RFK Jr's answer to that. If one contracts E.coli or cryptosporidium, weight loss will happen and one won't need that 'Fat Guy' shot.

We've been eyeing the trailer for that flick as it keeps appearing via the algorithm and hadn't made up our minds (I'm one of those who doesn't like to quit a movie once I've started even if it's bad) so we may give it a shot. On a completely different track--I don't know if they're still in their rotation, but for a while the Dune movies were on Netflix and we watched them again and once more the cinematography was just so stunning.

I miss Lobo too. I was taking a Surly sabbatical and returned to discover he had passed and it was just heart breaking news as he was such a annoyingly lovable rascal. In our family, the buttermilk may never be substituted with regular milk (the 'sour milk' type pancake). My youngest is a purist and as the mama, if I don't spoil 'em who will? As each child leaves the house, they always take the recipe with them. It's nothing special, that recipe, but for them, it's a reminder of home.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
Mrs Whiggins replied to Patricio Swayze's topic in Daily Texan
My older brother lived in Chicago for a while when he was going to school and we went up to see him a couple of times and did the usual tourist things. Perhaps call her O'Leary. It's not sports related though. I'd suggest Mrs. O'Leary's first name, Catherine, but then you'd likely be surrounded by a buncha Grandmas at the playground. -
I'm living vicariously through y'alls food crops this season. We had and will have a number of things going on that made growing anything other than flowers problematic. I sowed some herb seeds among the flowers to have basil, dill, etc but bypassed the usual favorites of tomatoes, cukes, etc. Given that the temps are rising pretty high this week, good luck with your plots and throw some shade cloth on them if the plants are tiny.

FIFY. But in this simulation, it's still not great.

I agree. I mean when you think about it, even serial killers tend to be good at one thing. If DJT actually does have a narcissistic personality disorder, then his self-centeredness, lack of empathy, and boundaries leads to a facade wherein people who view him from their own lens ascribe traits to him that may or may not be in his possession. @ChiTownDoc referring to the way he communicates as a 'skill' is also apt.

I thought Toobin's book was really good even though I read it long after it was published.
