I'm not sure where all the hate is coming from, I'm really enjoying this so far! I'm especially digging Lorinda, and looking forward to more of her backstory.

I really hate Piers Morgan. And that he makes me hate him less here, makes me hate him more.

Jesus Fucking Trump.

Wow 🤯 17 times @piersmorgan asks @jeremycorbyn

: “Are Hamas a terror group?”, and Corbyn refuses to answer, all 17 times!

I'm sorry, but why is this lame a** Shaggy dog story still at the top of the page.

Yes. It reads like somebody wrote it who allowed himself to be favorably influenced by Spider Robinson. Which is high praise.

Ninety-eight dollars was on the low side for a good cocktail in Perfecton, and in any case they were all — the regulars and the new guy — under Lorinda’s spell.

So, I'm guessing we have some serious hyperinflation going on in the CCSA -- that, or cocktails have *really* gone up in price since the last time I bought one.

It's a mystery to me as well. This thread has been up 10 hours with only 60 some comments. I would have thought the rebels to storm the Bastille and claimed this thread their own by now.

Maybe we’re all trying to be polite to the new kid?

I'll post this here too then. Though I really don't spam. This is well worth watching.

I just went to wellnow allergy which is in a spot with their urgent care. Has a lengthy appointment with ALL the testing. The plan was to start doing shots. They'll mix my juice and call soon. I call today about my kid's first appt tomorrow and they say yeah, we're closed now. We left him a message. What? I ask about my shots and they say they'll still make the juice this one time and I can take it with me. What? Were they ever going to let me know?

Made fresh appointments with new doc. hopefully I won't need more testing.

If I'm not mistaken, Mary Trump got duplicate of records her attorney had in his office regarding her case against her uncle and the rest of the relatives because her father was cheated out of his rightful share of his inheritance, which would have gone to her and her brother. I think it was her records that began the investigation into his finances and was reported by a team of reporters in the NYT.

OT - tomorrow is the Bake-Off quarter finals. I don't remember hearing what the theme for the week is but the preview looked like they were making picnic/afternoon tea type food.

My challenge for tomorrow is to whip up a mini afternoon tea (evening tea by the time we actually eat it). I'm talking homemade bread for little sandwiches (crustless, of course), some form of pastry (probably jam tarts or custard tarts), and scones. I'm gonna guesstimate that very little work will be done on my degree tomorrow.
