For us olds that's a great reminder of OG corporate scam/crime/fraud/employees kicked in the teeth!!! Look it up young people & see why corporate wilding never seems to stop, even w "reforms" put in place. The GOP & now Supreme Court back these d's over people & the rule of law year after year. To borrow a slogan from the French, "AUX LES BARRICADES". VOTE BLUE.
I just have to say that after REALLY getting into Empress Elisabeth, AKA Sisi, it's pretty clear that she was definitely interesting, definitely dealt with some bullshit, and ALSO was kind of a narcissistic asshole.
Okay this may just have been my elementary school, and I have no idea why, but the 1955 movie about empress Elisabeth ("Sissi," starring Romy Schneider) was a must-see for us 8-10 yr old girls in the late 1970s. We all knew that movie inside out.

It's been six weeks since Casa Beb was blessed with six kittens. They've all grown, been weaned and today four of the little have been taken to the Humane Society for adoption. We're keeping two to replenish our house cats, who ha been diminished by old age over the last year. We're not sure what to do with momma cat, who has been spayed and vaccinated but seems a bit wild. We took in a beautiful stray cat but he has is not getting along with the others and will have to be re-homed. He's big, muscular and fixed, likes catching flies. We hate giving him up but the cat fights are too much.
My assessment of Richard Hanania from his Globe opinion pieces to his book tour appearance at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=177-3sdMpDc) has been validated. Why is it so hard for people to see the obvious signs of a person you'd cross the street to avoid?

As their whiskers and ears wiggle, I hear the "ding, ding, ding" of a gas station pump. Yeah, I'm that old.

The tiny chair. THE TINY CHAIR! I am ded of the cute.
They all reach out and latch onto either the bottle itself or the hand that is holding the bottle.
Them tiny claws! How on earth do the mommy kitties get anything done with those clawed dependents latched on?
Badly.
I love kittens.
Maybe my old worn out brain
Is partially to blame
But when I hear "Feed the kitty"
I think of poker games.
LOL!
Hitting that bottle pretty hard, now, babbies. So hard, your ears are wiggling.
I know that feeling...
I never got my bottle babies to do the ear thing...I was doing it wrong obviously!! LOL, SO CUTE!!!!!!!

They sure screwed up a lot of shit here in California. I was almost reminded of the WorldCom scandal.

DeSantis gave the child abuser the job a month before the charges dropped. Background checks are so passe.

Science fact: Do you know why kittens' ears wiggle when they drink their ba-ba?
Because their ears are attached to the muscles in their cheeks and jaws that enable the necessary sucking motion.
