The laundry is in the washers. The humidity is so high that I am sweating so badly I have had to wash my face three times now with a cold cloth, which isn't working as well as I hoped.

If you don't like today, hang onto yer ARSE because the weekend is going to be worse.

Up here in the "country" we're going up to 82 today, but it'll be more like 90 over the next two days.

103 high today here.

I had to buy a vest today to keep me warm.

But given that outrageous things often do happen to her, I fear for the worst.

I know.

John Griffin, listen to the commentary and watch the documentary - you'll hear and see someone you might know.

Ladies and gentleman, may we have a drum roll please - we have, in an instant, jumped from 47% to 60%. We had three contributions just moments ago, one of which was someone grabbing the signed Alfred Hitchcock note! That's 60% in nine days.

Any John Davidson fans here? He’s 80. Interesting interview.

That was interesting, thank you

The T-shirts and memorabilia for Don McLean are cheap. $25 for T-shirts, $20 for an autographed CD, $20 for an autographed copy of the Vincent sheet music.

Oh wow, if I saw this earlier I would have asked you to get me an autographed cd

Roe v. Wade is gone.

Two of T****'s justices lied under oath.  During their confirmations, they said it was settled law...then at the first opportunity, their hypocrisy revealed itself. >:(

I was wrong...FOUR lied under oath:


I am furiously angry about this

I hope that what DR vixmom posted is not true.

It is true, but not tragic

But since I left at 5 pm, and two different sets of folks decided to crash and block lanes on one major roadway and abus decided to break down in the HOV lane in the other, it took 2 hours to travel this relatively short distance

I decided to look for a parking space and continue down to the end of the block when the light turns red

So I stop

The cross street now gets the green light and a bus decides to make a left turn on the street where I am sitting in my car

These are narrow streets, further complicated by cars park all along either side
