Over the 3 years I have been following you there has been so much art you have shown us. And what I am most thankful for is discovering Bertha Wegmann. I hadn't even heard of her before you posted Portrait of Jeanna Bauvk. .

If you copy a post word for word from another author (in this case Ron Filipkowski) it is only right that you give credit to the real author of the post.

Just another reason to feel despair today. I don't know who is worse: the psychopath ICU nurse or the disgusting and cowardly hospital management that put PR over innocent babies.

In 20 years when he has a double chin and creases between the rolls of saggy skin he is going to look grotesque.

I literally just discovered this show today. I watch very few dramas but I just finished watching 23 seasons of Midsomer Murders last night (took me many months) and was feeling sort of lost when my YouTube algorithm came to my rescue with a recommendation for Vera.

Seems simple to me: If I wanted to ensure the max amount of attention I might use the most controversial vehicle in the world and blow it up in front of the glitzy building owned by the most controversial person in the world.

This is an excellent documentary and is part of the reason I refuse to step inside a Walmart. There is actually one 3/4 mile from me and I've never even considered shopping there. Sam's is in the same category.

This stretch of Hwy 1 through Big Sur is indescribably beautiful. It's old California. Plus you can see whales from the cliffs and baby sea lions on the beach. Get lunch at rustic Nepenthe, with a $M view and probably someone famous next to you. You don't want to die without seeing Big Sur.

If you gave Story a very small stuffed animal would she still want you to carry it for her? I'm wondering if the size of her stuffies either makes it difficult to see the steps, or makes her feel she is going to trip? Just a thought.

The thing about trump is that he is so predictable. It's always a safe guess to assume he will do that thing that shows he has no integrity, moral compass or concern for anything but himself.
