That's what I was thinking. It's one thing to be unattractive, it's another to be evil, and it's yet another thing to commission a portrait that reveals you to be both.

61 Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873-193

was an important patron and society hostess. After travelling widely as a young woman, in 1902 Ottoline married Philip Morrell, a solicitor and later Liberal Member of Parliament. She established herself as a literary and political hostess at their home in Bloomsbury and from 1915 at Garsington Manor, their home near Oxford. Her social gatherings provided a forum for intellectual interaction and opportunities for writers and artists to meet patrons. Visitors to Garsington included Lytton Strachey, Henry Lamb, Aldous Huxley, Bertrand Russell, and Augustus John. She met John around 1907 and after having a brief love affair, they became good friends and she helped him gain commissions and connections. From Christine Isabell Oaklander

63 Interesting quote from artist's granddaughter

"John's granddaughter Rebecca John, the leading authority on her grandfather, said in 2024, while praising his earlier work, that "most [paintings since the 1930s] should have been burned. My grandfather went down the drain from the 1930s onwards, drank too much, lost his judgment, and took every opportunity to earn money from portraits of society ladies and the wives of notable men".

79 Now that I look closely, I see her hair is a dark red, barely visible against the black hat. This changes my reaction a tiny tiny bit. I can imagine that, if the hair color is real, that in her youth she might actually have been -- well, not attractive exactly, but hauntingly memorable.

At first you think Cruella is a devil
But after time has worn away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath a rock

This vampire bat, this inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up and never released
The world was such a wholesome place until

"Later Jewish traditions -- such as those found in the Talmud -- began to associate saliva with healing properties, particularly for eye diseases, though this is not attested to in the Old Testament itself.

The use of spittle in healing was more common in later Jewish writings and in Greco-Roman culture, where it was believed to have medicinal value."

Nah, as my Grandmother told my Mom and Sisters,

"Beauty is pain."

She worked out for roughly an hour almost every day of her life. Mostly, on an incline board to help maintain her figure.

It requires a lot of physical and mental discipline to achieve and maintain beauty as you get older.

She wasn't trying to "stay young". She was trying to be at her best throughout her life.

I like that attitude a lot.

I belatedly saw your comment yesterday about having had "perfect pitch" (very cool!) prior to suffering from tinnitus (I now have and hate that) owing to Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) -- which I'd never heard of (and so sorry to hear).

Anyway, you're probably already aware -- but if not (or others are not): I have a good friend who was afflicted with awful psoriasis for a couple of years (I think he was being treated with nitric oxide or something) and his skin would continuously crust up and bleed (he spend the night once and his bed sheets were all bloody).

He stumbled onto somebody (maybe Dr. Eric Berg?) who recommended 50,000 IU of Vitamin D daily -- and it quickly cured his psoriasis!

I believe the first person I heard (decades ago) make the following observation was Dennis Prager:

But don't worry we are only doing this one good thing and then we'll give the power back"

If you want to do this, please do it with your doctor. Short term, these doses under medical supervision may be okay. But VIT D toxicity is a thing, tummy upset, fatigue, etc. Plus, if you want to go at those levels, getting them in a shot form is easier.

Uber may get thumped pretty hard on this. Not just a lawsuit from the victim, but an in-depth anal prob from state and Federal agents. Does Uber normally let illegals work for them? Is that part of their vetting process? Or, just as likely, many US citizens let illegals drive under their account, with no real Uber screening to prevent. This could be the start of a major overhaul of ridesharing companies.

I am not a medical provider, I just have the nutrition thing 😂. But you should be including your doctor, and thinking about interaction with other meds. Supplements can and do affect how you metabolize things. If your doctor doesn’t help in these spaces, find another one. They exist. Mine is a weight lifter and awesome, which is why I can give my own vit B shots and not pay out the nose for them.

349 332. On that Piper, Ace just linked a couple weeks ago a story about how many door dash delivery people are illegals. Someone with DL and insurance gets the Door Dash contract and then subcontracts with illegals on mopeds to do the actual food deliveries.

Probably a good safety measure not to open the door for door dash until the 'driver' has departed. If you want to tip in cash put the money in the door before they arrive.
