Moron Robbie, I saw your comment in the EMT about your recipe. It's remarkably similar to one I just found for "Mississippi Roast," except instead of pickles, it's pepperocini peppers that go on top. I've been meaning to try making it because it looks easy, and gets some pretty good reviews on food sites.

The problem is that you'll have that for a while, but then the Skynrd neighbor will notice how much his land is worth and will sell his property because that's a LOT of money to him. If you're lucky the new transplants will just build one house on their land. If you're not... well. You'll see.

But, the daffodils have been freed from their frosty coffins and toss their heads in spritley dance.

In vacant or in pensive mood.
They flash upon that inner eye,
Which is the bliss of solitude.
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils. "

I could never understand what all the fuss was about JJ -- unless, of course, it's that she died young. She sounded like she had been gargling with used razor blades. A friend of mine knows someone who actually slept with her, back in the day, as they say. The guy said she had pretty bad BO. I'm not surprised, a lot of the hippie contingent did.

Months later, a second background check of Gary Martin found his 1995 aggravated assault conviction in Mississippi involving the stabbing of an ex-girlfriend. But it prompted only a letter stating his gun permit had been revoked and ordering him to turn over his firearm to police - raising questions about the state's enforcement to ensure those who lose their permits also turn over their weapons.

Sometimes called Ginger Jews, Jewish redheads have inspired a great number of origin stories, including speculation that they descended from the ancient Turkic group the Khazars. Thats likely a myth, but royte yidn (thats Yiddish for red Jews) have appeared in Yiddish folklore as noble warriors as well as demons like Lilith.
It may not be true that Jews are more likely to have red hair than any other group, but some people think otherwise. One Orthodox publication warned against anti-redhead prejudice. Some countries go so far as to celebrate their redheaded population, and at least two Israeli photographers, Sharon Bareket and Nurit Benchetrit, have used redheads as artistic inspiration.
Maybe worldwide Jews should follow their example. After all, tradition has it that the messiah will descend from King David, himself often depicted as having red hair. And despite the appeal of South Park holidays, you wouldnt want to kick a potential messiah, would you?

I think it began in discussion about Lt Governor of Virginia. Someone rightfully said the allegation was one of irrumatio and not fellatio. Which sent a bunch of us to the dictionary.

Mom and her 14-year-old son are in the store, and a worker, you can see his empoyee ID on his neck lanyard, tells the boy to take off his MAGA hat, and allegedly says "fuck you" to the kid.
Kid and mom have cell phones in hand, at the ready. Mom gets it on video with her phone, and then marches the employee to the store manage at the check out, to complain.
Vans canned the employee. In the video, the store supervisor was smirking at the charge by the mom.
Did mom and boy troll all the stores in the mall until they got the reaction they were seeking? I know tween girls always have phones in hand, but mom and MAGA-hat son?

Went out to the car to leave for work at 7:30. Opened the passenger door, laid the phone on the seat, started the car, grabbed the snowbrush, shut the door. Once I finished cleaning the car off, went to open the door. All four doors were LOCKED.
So. Phone locked in car. Can't get back in the my building as the fob is locked in the car on my key ring. The office at the condo is closed anyway as its a holiday. No one is coming out to go to work because it's a holiday. I wait around, getting colder and colder as its pouring snow. I even attempted to break the window of the car. Finally someone comes out.
As it turns out, he's late for work, but lets me use his phone to call roadside assistance. I finally get that arranged, but again, they can't get to my car because the parking lot is gated and the fob to open the gates is....locked in my car. They also can't call me if they need to because my phone is locked in the car. Before my benefactor left, I asked him to let me back in the building.
I'm sitting there waiting and waiting, watching for someone to come. I couldn't call work to let them know I was going to be late. Then I thought I should go back outside to watch for the guy to come, but it's really cold and I will be locked out again.
I went out again anyway, just because I was getting desperate. I was able to get into the lobby area where the building call box is. I'm waiting and watching. Soon, I see movement out the corner of my eye and could have sworn I saw someone go into the office. I dialed the office number and THANK GOD the maintenance man had shown up. He let me in, gave me the spare key to my condo and I was able to get my spare set of car keys.
Needless to say, I need to put a better a system in place.

When I was in the rare book business, someone once mailed to us, folded up in an envelope, a first printing of the Philadelphia Inquirer, which I recognized right away as being a repro, and a copy of the Constitution, which I assumed was a repro as well. But after a little investigation, it turned out that it was the first public printing of the Constitution, which was released as a newspaper supplement in 1787. I'm pretty sure that one is the one now on display at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia

The other day, I ran across them, and looked a the prices online.
They are still worthless.

"Raw" does seem to carry an earthier message better than the more pure voices, imo. Same for some of the blues ... I'd rather listen to R.L. Burnside than some silk voiced youngster that has no idea about "hard times". Burnside really did lose his father, two brothers, and two uncles to murder in Chicago. Wiki just informed me he himself was convicted of murder, maybe at a craps game, but a boss needed him and got him released after six months. sheesh ... the real Chicago ... back near Alinsky/Capone days.

When she came out of the store she discovered she had locked her keys in the car. She went back inside the store and called my dad at home to tell him her predicament. He calmly said, "Take your right hand and reach up to hour neck, feel the necklace chain? Follow that chain down to the end and you will find the spare car key that we put there for just this occasion."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WTHR) - A Middletown man who claimed to be the sailor in the famous 1945 Times Square picture has died.
The Providence Journal reported that George Mendonsa died Sunday after a fall at an assisted living facility. He would have turned 96 on Tuesday.
In this Aug. 14, 1945 file photo provided by the U.S. Navy, a sailor and a nurse kiss passionately in Manhattan's Times Square, as New York City celebrates the end of World War II. (AP Photo/U.S. Navy/Victor Jorgensen, File)
The picture was taken Aug. 14, 1945, after the announcement that Japan had surrendered to the United States, ending World War II. People spilled into the New York City streets from restaurants, bars and movie theaters to celebrate.
The woman in the photo, Greta Zimmer Friedman, died in 2016 at age 92.
LIFE Magazine published the picture, but never confirmed Mendonsa's identity, nor that of Glenn McDuffie, who died in 2014 at age 86 claiming that HE was the sailor in the picture.
Alfred Eisenstaedt took the photo, but never revealed his subjects before his death in 1995.
A Houston Police artist analyzed the picture and concluded McDuffie was the sailor.
Later, facial recognition technology supported Mendonsa's claim.

Those things happen when I fly...Leaving Tampa on an airline, load up, taxi out, taxi back to gate. Unload the plane and sent back to start..Along with 150 others tired to book another flight. Then after a half hour waiting in line, they announce the plane was fixed, back to gate. (and through security again) We all board, and taxi out and taxi back to gate and unload. Finally get a flight out, missed my connection, rescheduled on another flight. But that flight was very late coming from San Diego, Made it home as the sun was raising, Just like my teen years when I came home at sunrise. Sneaking in the house....

Yeah, and today the bride wearing white represents her purity and virginity. I wonder how many modern brides are really virgins, even if they do chose a white dress. I suppose it creates less gossip than if they wear a red dress.

I went through a summer as a yute when I collected baseball cards. And, as a result, I have a shoe box full of them. About 20 years ago, I tried to sell them. They were worthless because they were not in plastic card holders and had been handed.
The other day, I ran across them, and looked a the prices online.
They are still worthless.

Posted by: shibumi, in her last week single at February 18, 2019 10:17 AM (tLMaB)
A buddy of mine used to do those storage unit auctions and jumped all over one that came from a guy that sold baseball cards. Thousands of them, complete with all the card holders, sealed boxes of cards straight from the factory etc. Paid about $1500 for the whole lot.
He spent the next year and a half trying to sell off the collection on ebay and got bupkis. Not a dime.
He finally gave up and put the whole collection on Craigslist and sold it to another dupe for... $1500.

The government kept news of the disaster from being broadcast nationally, and there hadn't been any international observers present. But when China's Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power released a study in July 1989, it reported that the dam breach caused more than 85,000 people to die instantly. Two years earlier, "On Macro-Decision Making in the Three Gorges Project," a study conducted by eight Chinese water science experts who probably had access to censored government reports, estimated the number of total dead -- from flooding and the resulting epidemics and famine -- at 230,000.

But their answer was out of drugs and ignorance, and the fake youthful allure of Marxism and "world peace" without understanding the need for structure and (a restrained but necessary) government.
And I think their message was coordinated/marketed with the help of those old Soviet infiltrators. They were working on several fronts (and still are).

This outrage calls for everyone to vote against Trump and vote for all the Senators and Reps who are sabotaging Trump.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - If you are looking for a cruise that lets you get to dive into one of the most popular '80s sitcoms, you're in luck.
Flip Phone Events is organizing a Golden Girls cruise that will depart from Miami before making stops at Key West and Cozumel next February.
The sitcom, which was set in Miami, ended in 1992, but it still has a dedicated fan base.
Activities include Golden Girls trivia, a Shady Pines craft corner, Key West Golden Girls bar crawl, Golden Girls costume contest and fancy dinner and a "One Night in St. Olaf" dance party.
The cruise will kick off in Feb. 24, 2020 and tickets start at $1,000.

coyote would run down our street practically every night. Just a yippin' and a yappin".
Eventually they disappeared(more or less) as the city grew around us.
Weirdly, a cougar came into the area last year and we are totally surrounded by miles and miles of build up city and highways.
Dogs and cats must be mighty tasty and easy to catch is all I can figure.

he probably realized it was preposterous to think racist homophobes were roaming chicago at 2 a.m. looking for targets. that's why he had a threatening letter sent to him - that way he could claim he was being stalked for his anti-trump tweets and gay blackness. police confiscated cut-up magazines at the nigerians' apartment to see if they were the source of the letter.

I sincerely hope that the CPD proves me wrong and charges Smollett. It sounds like that may happen. I'm glad they're not like the spineless catamites that run our department in Denver.
Secondly Smollett's attorney has released a statement, including:
"As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with."
Jussie has to be one of the biggest dickheads in a country full of them.
It's bad enough to say "Hey, you hungry foreigners trying to make it in Hollywood, I have the key to your success - just do this thing for me. Super easy, barely an inconvenience," so you can convince them to fake a hate crime.
But when you get caught for it, to throw them so thoroughly under the bus like that is just low.

I think the Media just glomed on to it. The whole thing was too stupid from the start to be FUSION GPS.
