Gosh. I hope the antifa chief doesn’t get fired.

When my old pup was struggling we made him chicken and rice. Boiled chicken thighs and then cooked rice in the broth.

When I’m on summer break I usually try to learn something- often unsuccessful due to poor follow through, but I’ve had fun with a ukulele, bongos, and a cajon. All of those have good video lessons on YouTube.

My architect friend has them and loves them! He can open bottoms on one side of the house and uppers on the other side with a fan to let cool air in and warm air out.

In the US - I just installed an awning window like that. My other current windows slide up from the bottom. When I replace them I will get double hung windows that slide both down from the top and up from the bottom.

Just go to the doc. That’s your foot. Leave it to a pro.

Chuckle… Oh shit!

We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

I think duolingo has forums for it

From Peter Coyote on Substack - I’m watching the Los Angeles reaction to ICE raids with trepidation and regret. Three years ago I taught a class at Harvard on the “theater of protest”— designed to help people understand why so many protests turn out to be Republican campaign videos working directly against the interests of the original protest.

A protest is an invitation to a better world. It’s a ceremony. No one accepts a ceremonial invitation when they’re being screamed at. More important you have to know who the real audience Of the protestis. The audience is NEVER the police, the politicians, the Board of supervisors, The Congress,etc. The audience is always the American people, who are trying to decide who they can trust; who will not embarrass them. If you win them, you win power at the box office And power to make positive change.Everything else is a waste. There are a few ways to get there.

Number 1 let women organize the event. They’re more collaborative. They’re more inclusive, and they don’t generally bring the undertones of violence men do. 2 appoint monitors, give them yellow, vests and whistles. At the first sign of violence, they blow the whistles and the real protester sit down. Let the police take out their aggression on the anarchists and the provocateurs trying to discredit the movement. Number 3 dress like you’re going to church. It’s hard to be painted as a hoodlum When you’re dressed in clean Presentable clothes. They don’t have to be fancy they just signal the respect for the occasion that you want to transmit to the audience.Number 4, make your protest silent. Demonstrate your discipline to the American people.Let signs do the talking. Number 5 go home at night. In the dark, you can’t tell the cops from the killers. Come back at Dawn fresh and rested. I have great fear that Trump’s staging with the National Guard and maybe the Marines is designed to clash with anarchists who are playing into his hands and offering him the opportunity to declare an insurrection. It’s such a waste and it’s only because we haven’t thought things through strategically. Nothing I thought of is particularly original. It was all learned by watching the early civil rights protests in the 50s and 60s. And it was the discipline and courage of African-Americans that drew such a clear line in the American sand that people were forced to take sides and that produced the civil rights act. .The American people are watching and once again if we behave in ways that can be misinterpreted, we’ll see this explained to the public in Republican campaign videos benefiting the very people who started this. Wake up. Vent at home. In public practice discipline and self control. It takes much more courage.

Met in 1986. Began dating in 1989. Married in 1994.

My son is a mechanic and he likes it. Doesn’t make a million dollars, but he gets by ok. There’s a lot of turnover in the industry - shops get sold to corporate chains and then they screw everyone over. There are plenty of jobs available, so when that happens he’s usually able to find something else within a few days. He started by getting a state inspector license from a 2 day class. Everything that has been from books, videos, and on the job learning.

We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.

Most days my husband. Some days my kids. Some moments my job. Every night i love how comfortable my bed is.
