Mostly just here to listen and learn.
I was an 11. Field Roast Stadium Dogs are vegan and a very good replacement for meat hot dogs, if that's of any interest to you.

Hey, @lakesuperior.bsky.social, looking good!

Lovely photo, Mr. Berthiaume.

I was in his district. Bera is no treat but better than Kiley.

Something I've learned from being on reddit.

Going to grade school now may not help. I've read they no longer diagram sentences.

Thank you! These two drive me nuts! (Also not a bad boomer :-).)

how not out, sorry.

This is truly an outrage. When politicians are doing our business they should automatically be considered under oath. Lying to us is not acceptable.

I can't imagine out difficult this was for you guys. Kudos for going though.

That's the answer.

Well, you used to be my favorite but "brain rot"? I can't think of any way to spin that to make it a good thing.

As a former office manager, I can attest that this is the appropriate method to use for "I want your attention, please."

*I was the only office employee, so pretty easy job--most of the time.

Thank you! So looking forward to this.

I just looked it up--jarred pimento spread (they didn't have the nerve to call it cheese :-). We had that too.

Sounds just like ours--although celery was stuffed with jarred pimento spread. Parents were from KS but we lived in CA when in the years of my memory.

I was just wondering the other day whether kids still play jacks.

It's there now!

I don't know but I don't expect it would be too long and I doubt he'll stop using it as a podcast.

I prefer to watch the video version on youtube.

One of the few people who makes me smile whenever I see him. Just so full of joy in life. Another is Ed People of YT fame--"Can you teach me your favorite dance move?"

Thank you! Mr. Lee was the custodian of our elementary school. At age 6 he was the first black person in my life--seventy years later he is still remembered for being a kind man.

You might want to research that. It's not gerrymandered. It was done by the Independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC) www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ca...
California Redistricting :: California Secretary of State

I've got some bad news for you. If you don't already have a sewing machine and fabric (both likely subject to tariffs), you're gonna pay a LOT of money for those homemade clothes. 😜

I thought of it more as an aggressive sales person. Dad lived far from me so it surprised me on the day his body was picked up by the coroner I got 2 phones calls from businesses in his area code on my phone from a different area. The only place I'd given that number that day were official business.

Isn't that irritating! I got a couple of texts on my recently deceased father's cell phone asking someone about a property for sale. On the second one I just responded "wrong number" only to immediately get a return text asking if I had a property to sell.
