31 This actually looks pretty normal for Van Gogh. A bit washed out, even.

I read something by John Ringo (on Pokemon Go!, don't ask) and he talked about how he was prescribed meds for bi-polar (I think.) He evidently does not take them. He said that if he did, it 'interfered with the muse.'

I look at Van Gogh and it always makes me think of Mel Gibson, another artist who seems to have more than a few demons.

I had been thinking of suggesting The Pieta, David, or Moses to CBD for some of the art threads, but they are pretty universally known.

There was a statue I saw at an art museum that was really strange one time. It was a statue of Hercules, but it was the most extreme version of hypertrophy I have ever seen in art, almost like the sculptor was trying to make a critique on renaissance realism. Interesting piece, if slightly disturbing.

Yeah. Even a doodle by Van Gogh would be more interesting and show more technical skill than most contemporary artwork.

I've been to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. His works have a visual impact in person that just isn't the same when you see a reproduction. That's true of any great artist's work, I guess.

That's one reason I'm very nervous about the Muzzie invasion of European. All that priceless artwork and all those barbarians. Would anybody be surprised if a bomb went off in the Louvre?

The Euro elite who seem completely uninterested in safeguarding not only their people but their own cultural treasures should be put in the stocks and pelted with eggs and rotten veggies for being so feckless.

83 At PJ media there is an article that Lois
Lerner has been sued personally by True the Vote. Reading the
comments, there is the usual Liberal Troll argument that such a suit
can't proceed because of immunity for official actions - but that gets
nuked by another post that points out that there is a law which does
allow it for actions exactly like those taken by Lerner.

Each of
us needs to personally sue the henchmen to Obama. People ask "What can I
do - I'm just a little guy." This is something that we can do.

Lets
start with filing our own suits against Lerner. Do not allow these
suits to be rolled into a class action - make her defend all of them
individually. Everyone who either joined a TEA party organization - or
who wanted to - but was stopped or intimidated because of Lerner's
action has standing
to sue. Sue both for actual damages and punitive damages. Remember - if
she doesn't defend herself against your suit - you win by default.

These
are civil suits - not a criminal actions - you don't have to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt - you only need a preponderance of the
evidence to prevail. The fact that Lerner pleaded the fifth before
Congress is admissible in a civil suit. The Inspector General's report is
admissible in a civil suit. Obama's initial statements
against the IRS are admissible. This gives you the overwhelming
preponderance of the evidence - and there is no denying any of it. This
kind of suit is as close to a slam dunk as it gets.

I'm going to sue for one dollar in actual damages, and one billion dollars in punitive damages.

86 OT - Has anyone heard of the Women's March on Washington that is supposed to take place the day after the inauguration? Apparently a bunch of women who couldn't handle the reality of the election got together and said, "Hey - let's protest! We're gonna march from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House on January 21st!"

One little problem, they announced the march and got other feminists excited about it before it occurred to them they might need a permit. And of course, by the time they applied for a permit (about a week after announcing the march) they learned that they would not be able to get a permit for any space anywhere near the Lincoln Memorial or the White House because of post-inauguration take-down and other events. But instead of telling people, "Oops, looks like we won't be able to hold this march," they told anyone who asked, "We've applied for a permit and we have no reason to think we won't get it."

So now it's become very clear that they won't have a permit and they're trying to blame the eeeeevil Trump inaugural committee and the National Parks Service, which everybody knows is the one government agency that is peopled with the alt-right. And shrieking feminist harpies are calling the NPS permit office and screaming at anyone who answers the phone.

Come one, feminists. Think about it for one minute. Obviously the inaugural committee would have applied for permits blocking off most areas long before the election. It takes a long time to set up for the inauguration and a long time to take it down. But feminists were never much on thinking.

Do not text, call. I'm old fashioned, I think a text is cold and impersonal for an initial contact and besides, you will learn a hell of a lot more about a person from a phone call than a text no matter how many emojis she uses.

Say, Hello, my name is (State Your Name) and so and so, an acquaintance of mine from church, gave me your number because she thought we might enjoy each others company.

You'd be surprised at how far just telling the truth will go toward starting a conversation.

95 The shooting at Comet Ping Pong - seems to me that the Dems/MSM are playing it wrong to get what they want out of it. They are so geared toward fake news that they can't help themselves.

It keeps getting reported here that the guy went to the restaurant "to investigate a fake news story." That makes him sound like a reporter who was going to debunk it or whatever. But to put it more reality-like, they would have to abandon their soundbite talking point.

Interesting- they're going to "protest" the free election of an eligible candidate, in direct contravention of oh, 2 plus centuries of precedent.

Essentially, they want to demonstrate because the guy that won, fairly, is in their opinion a big poopyhead.

Maybe I missed it, but do you have any indication that she knows that a co-worker is giving out her phone number? "Oh gosh, sure, if you know a nice guy, go ahead and give them my number" vs. "Who is this creep calling me like a bolt out of the blue" are rather different situations. It could be a nice lady who trusts her friend to help her find someone, or it could be a yenta who has made it her personal mission to hook up all of her single friends.

If no, tell her you won't be calling until you know the friend is aware of what's going on and expecting your call. If yes, then go ahead and text or call. I'd suggest meeting for coffee or hot chocolate first, nothing that's a big time commitment.

I used to work with a guy who was a marketer; he flew all the time. One time while I was pulling together a last-minute presentation for him he confessed that he couldn't fly sober. Made me wonder what was in his coffee cup since he was about to catch a flight.

The Summer Palace is actually more like a mini Kingdom built as a summer retreat for the last empress of China. It is an enormous place that even includes a man made lake patterned after a favorite lake in another region of China.

The whole place is covered with fantastic Chinese art including sculptures in many mediums, paintings, shrines, etc.. It really is breathtaking and would take at least a week to begin to see it all. Sadly, I only had a day but I'll never forget it.

Use a people search service to see if you can get her address off her phone number. Set up surveillance. Watch her routines, her habits, where she goes and when, who she associates with. Using the information you've gathered, stage a "chance" meeting at one of the places she visits routinely.

Uhhh, nol I expect I'll be fine. If I thought I couldn't do the services I would have told somebody before this. I didn't write her that. I just said that I thought I;d be fine.After all, I did two services last week.

247 Actually, I have a fair amount of experience dealing with people who work at funeral parlors :^) and even with some attractive women who work there. They generally have some spiritual sensitivity or they wouldn't go into it, they tend to have a good sense of humor because would have to in that business an because you deal with people who understandably upset and emotional you need to be a good listener and a kind person. Maybe she doesn't get dates because people find the idea creepy.

Good idea. Everyone can use another friend. Go into it with the idea that your friend, the one who gave you the number, knows both of you well enough to believe you might get along well. And then take a "who knows" approach to anything else.

Or, come up with a really good sad story about how your favorite relative recently died after a long battle with some terrible disease and how devastating it's been for you. You're the only family member who ever did anything for that relative, etc. You might get a pity lay if you play it right.

Heh. Some people are terrified of flying, and they overcome this with booze. A good friend of mine is like this. He absolutely HATES to fly. So he'd always get a drink at the airport bar before boarding, when he had to travel by plane. Note that he doesn't drink at all normally, so one drink is enough to calm him down a bit. Funny thing is, he recently got a job where he has to fly constantly. When he told me about it I was kinda stunned, knowing how much he abhorred airplanes. I said they must have offered him a TON of money for him to do that. "Yup." he said, with a big wide grin.

==================

Memory flooding back of my dating days (I'm 31, so not THAT long ago).

Similar situation. I was working at a place and a guy I worked with also worked at the University Bookstore. While working one day, this girl came in that he knew from the Bookstore. She was cute. I talked to the guy after she left, and he was very encouraging in me trying to pursue her, so I decided to drop by the bookstore on day.

Both were there. I went to the guy to talk and he introduced me. She was polite, but completely uninterested. I managed to get a Facebook friend out of it, but I haven't spoken to her since that first meeting.

Cute girls get hit on all the time, and it's going to take more than just that random guy walking up to her. You need to be framed in a relationship context by someone else, and you have that opportunity. However, it's going to take that nice old lady to do that for you.

276 Maybe it was a TV show episode and not a movie but I seem to recall a woman funeral parlour employee having her date come down to the work area while she finished up some work, and the date going ape when one of the corpses appeared to begin wheezing. The woman informs him that it happens all the time; air escaping the lungs (as I recall) postmortem; and not to go nuts about it.

The series must have been about the guy like Frank's Place (although I doubt it was that show) and not about the woman.

Hmm. Maybe the Drew Carey Show?

321 40 Ok Horde, dating question.

Someone at church gave me the number of a woman she works with, says she's wonderful etc. etc.

I've never seen or talked to this person.

Normally I'd just call, but that seems weird in this situation. So I text her...and say what?

"Hi. This is X. Y from church gave me your number. She (he?) seems to think we'd be a good match. If you're interested, I'm up for getting coffee and having a chat. What do you think?"

As a female, I would 1. not believe your story that her friend gave out her phone number 2. Be immediately on alert that my phone number had been hacked, stolen, whatever by some major creep up to no good, 3. possibly call the police.

I'm not joking. There are dipshit women out there who would not think anything of this, and there are those of us with some sense of danger and self defense training that would be on high alert right now.

You don't want to get involved with the first. If she is the second, you want to politely tell Ms. Busybody Matchmaker that you appreciate her help, but you would rather she introduce the two of you at some kind of function. One in which you can meet and see if there is anything of interest to either of you.

Just calling this women based on some women giving you her phone number makes you sound desperate for a lay and possibly a dangerous person.

This is a female perspective on this. I'm not 17 anymore and I suspect this lady isn't either. It's not HS.

When mom died the funeral director walked me up the church aisle to my seat in the front. He was attractive, had a nice body that looked good in his fine suit and may have been a possibility for me. Except at 9 a.m. in the morning I detected the scent of liquor on his breath. I figured his job was driving him to drink, so...not an option.

Get a database of all the EO's set up on Windows, and cut and paste:

I hereby rescind this EO [blank], Issued [date]: [text of EO]

Paragraph (2): I encourage Congress to review this action and to advise on this rescinded Executive Order, and should it be sufficiently important, to propose legislation to codify it into law or to reject it completely.

Signed on this day, etc etc


the only problem I can see, since Trump is actually hiring a competent cabinet that can figure out how to run things, is that Trump's hand is going to get tired signing the darned form letters.

447 SOS for Michigan is going to refund the majority portion of Jill Stein's deposit she placed for the recount. Whatever wasn't used by the state goes back to Jill and Soros.

Meanwhile, Stein has filed a lawsuit with the Michigan Supreme Court asking for a ruling in her favor to start the recount back up. However, since two of the Michigan Supreme Court judges were on Trump's list of candidates released this summer as potential US Supreme Court justice nominees, she wants both of them to recuse themselves.

Because liberals always recuse themselves from hearing cases they' ve been involved in. Right?

473 I'm not too old. I am, however, too bitter, cynical, untrusting and self-hating to date.

474 We're having a craptastic Christmas this year. Don't ask. But you are always welcome to come. Always. The Lake Geneva cruise line is running Santa cruises thru New Year's Day. We have season passes. It would be wonderful if you would join us. Of course you'd have to pay room and board.

That sounds great. The cruise not your craptastic Christmas. However, I am dick broke and consequently not going anywhere. In the increasingly unlikely event that I eventually become something other than dick broke, I really would like to visit.
