    Staying Weather Aware During Periods of High Temps & Heat Waves

    Yes, honey, no lies told.. That is what we did in VA when my Grandad had a night sermon at church.. the mornings were good but by the time the Sunday school people arrived and the late-morning and afternoon sermons got underway, it was hot as hell there.. so one the days when he had to preach...

    Staying Weather Aware During Periods of High Temps & Heat Waves

    This is going to sound weird, but when I lived by myself in Brooklyn, one Summer we had a heat index of like 125° one week and my brick building became a brick oven.. and I had no A/C. I didn't really have one until my husband moved in with me which was a few months before we got married...

    Last thing that annoyed you?

    Maybe so, but so was Jcink and IF.. But then again, it was started by kids I think.. so it isnt surprising that they are busy.. I have tried posting on FP for help.. it is seemingly a simple issue but with my memory issues I don't really have the headspace for it. Anyway I am just ready to see...

    Use your real name?

    Well, at first I tried confronting him myself because not only was he scaring me, but also my brother (there was only 2 of us at the time..) and I asked him to leave us alone.. all he did was smile. That didnt work and the dude wouldn't stop.. then I asked his caretaker to tell him to stop. She...

    SCOTUS Rules Against Affirmative Action in 6-3 Decision

    Hey guys, you'll never believe this but, I just found that shoe I was looking for yesterday. It looks like it finally dropped, and while, I am not surprised, it is still disappointing.. Looks like there are going to be a lot of uncomfortable conversations at the dinner table.. particularly...

    How many subforums are too many?

    I take a laissez-faire approach.. I let people start the topics they want to discuss and go from there.. But sometimes a good discussion can be spun off of a thread and that is why I am a big fan of splitting topics as well. I am not too strict regarding off topic posts.. I think it is...

    Thrifting at thrift stores

    That is too true. And yeah I just asked him if he had ever used it, and he said he did to make paninis.. We have a waffle maker that converts into a panini press.. but since I haven't figured out how to convert it, it doesn't count.. but I do have 2 waffle makers but the other is a Belgian...

    SCOTUS Rejects Independent State Legislature Theory In Hollow 6-3 Ruling

    If I am being honest, I am kinda lost on what the endgame is with SCOTUS and their rulings lately.. from what I am used to seeing with them from say since Obama, to now seems different. Like if there were 1 or 2 rulings that I liked, or agreed with, then there would be a few major ones that I...

    Your partner's salary?

    Nope. What was important to me was his personality, intelligence, how he carries and sees himself, (if you don't love or believe in yourself, how can you expect me to do the same?) his sense of humor, the way he treated others, the way he treated me and our friendship. He is my best friend, and...

    Thrifting at thrift stores

    @Webster You know something.. I just realized that I might be a bit of a hypocrite.. I think I posted earlier in this thread (or was it another) about not having redundant appliances, and I sure enough just remembered that I have 2 George Foreman grills.. LOL I have the big wide one that you...

    Are bad words bad?

    Yes, words can be bad, but they are never just words especially if the person who wants to use it has explicit intent behind them. For example.. A person that is angry at the result they get when they use a certain N word toward a marginalized group that has been explicitly affected by it and...

    Thrifting at thrift stores

    When my family and I went to Myrtle Beach a few years ago, we saw a lot of Hospice Thrift stores in SC as we were getting closer to our destination. I know that it is likely just a name, buying think that is a chain I probably wouldn't go to.

    Thrifting at thrift stores

    I kinda want to check out this Goodwill in NC that made the news years ago.. they had every retro video game and console you could think of.. There is also a store like that in Hampton, VA.. but down in VA the DAV is pretty popular.. all their proceeds go to disabled veterans.. But yeah, I...

    Safe for pets spider deterrent?

    Another thing that might be good for the ants is this stuff called Terro. (sp?) I think that is how it is spelled my brother told me about it and said that it takes 3 days to work, and that you will have to show some restraint when you use it.. lol Basically, you set it up and you let the ants...

    Reuters Publishes Hit Piece About Congress & Slave-Owning Ancestors

    It sounds like someone found out a very uncomfortable, inconvenient and undeniable truth about their own family and as always, hit dogs will bark. I don't put much stock in the Bible or Christianity since it was under both that this fucked up system of chattel slavery was created and...

    SCOTUS Rejects Independent State Legislature Theory In Hollow 6-3 Ruling

    Doesn't this ruling set up the possibility for a repeat of the 2000 Election, the one in which Roberts repay his favor to Bush? Meaning that it will allow for SCOTUS to interfere with a future election?
