My mom, God rest her soul, was a good southern woman, and it was milk and brown sugar for her also. So go for the lemon loaf, and skip the latte.

Maggie at 6:38

David Shaw at 38:03 Just because it feels like this, this morning.

Perfect. Having come from a long line of educators and my best friend, now retired, a middle school principal in Hartford, this is closer to the truth than one would imagine.

Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp It was wrong then, it's wrong now....

This...

lol This looks like the lounge at our condo.

In the spirit of Lars retirement...I give you Galactic and Hey Na Na...

She was simply brilliant tonight...well she is most nights, and playing the Corey Lewandowski tape showed what's really in the hearts of the West Wing. The Steven Miller's and John Kelly's of the world, will find themselves on the wrong side of history, and will be judged for this.

I have one word of advice....Florida

I retract my post....

Congrats...One of the most interesting days of my life, is the day that I decided to retire early. Hope your health improves and enjoy Portland!

LMAO...I inherited a lot of china from my mother, but ended up giving it all to my sister. I just don't have a need for any of it. I remember you mentioning that you had purged your apartment of all the unnecessary excess. That's kind of how I felt when I gave it away.

It is essential however, ( IMHO )...that the coffee beans are ground fresh per serving. I have a small coffee grinder that grinds enough beans for one serving. It seems tedious, but for myself it is a wonderful Zen ritual in the morning, and from start to finish is approx 5 minutes, minus the time to it takes to boil the water. *Coffee is meant to be consumed hot and black. No sugar, no cream. God made Starbucks for all that other stuff ( which can be glorious) depending on the occasion.

Well if there's no wine, I mean...what would be the point.

Amen sister....

When you say something ignorant and stupid, and someone calls you out, and you retreat to calling them a troll, that only proves their point... "You throw snark around when it suits your fancy like your Pollack attacking a canvas" It was Adam Smith who posted the pic of Rockwell's The Connoisseur.

I love Diana Ross Yes we can tell, your snarky comments not withstanding. Her embrace of the gay community and fundraising with HIV/AIDS has been exemplary through the years. I met her once in my early twenties on a ski trip to Aspen with a gay ski club from LA. We met one of the local boys at a bar one night, and he invited us all up to his home for a party. Somewhere in the middle of the evening while one of her songs came on, he mentioned that she lived right down the street, and happened to be in town. A quick phone call and an hour later, she arrived, and was as gracious and charming as one could possibly imagine. We all chatted for awhile, had her picture taken with our group, and then just like that she was gone. One of these days she will be gone forever, and one can only hope that you will be kinder then, than you are now.

"Some chubby stagehand queen eventually comes to her rescue" . Perhaps this is where we "split"

LOL...I'll be at "Paddles"

Cheers to that...

LMAO... yes there was that insinuation, which of course was hardly a comparison. Besides, what self respecting homosexual can pull herself together in an hour for a night on the town, I mean the hair and nails alone are an afternoon at the salon.

God help us all...

LOL...OK, but if someone calls me a cocksucker or my mamma a whore, I ain't gonna be nice. Except that the guy with the plaid shirt and cut off sleeves could call me anything he wants.
