We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Obama is scared of Putin and really doesn´t know how to react or bargain with him. He foolishly thought that divulging our nuclear warheads would buy his love, when all he did was scoff at his weakness.
Whatever you decide you want your relationship with sex to be about, there are opportunities out there. Whether you want to have sex or you don’t, you’re looking for love or a one-night stand, you’re gay or straight or somewhere in between, it’s all possible. And whatever happens remember to be safe, get consent, and watch out for your friends.
Well, OK. What seems odd to me is the college administration selling this. Is selling sexual experimentation part of their job?
Regarding consent, I'd suggest recording it on video on your iPhone, ladies. Make sure the fellow gives you sober consent for you to enjoy his body.
It is appalling. Appalling, dangerous, and destructive to the lives and futures of Americans both young and old. Or do they really know better, and is this tripe just boob bait for the press and the low-information voter?
There are deep subtleties in the sexual peccadillo qualifications for public service. It's difficult to keep track of the changing rules. I think gay peccadillos are OK now, but it's difficult to be certain anymore. I think it all depends on R or D, or where you fall on the D spectrum.
I guess that's wasn't what that idiot on The View would term "rape-rape."
This seemingly naive or reckless young girl (which is not to blame her) should have called the cops, and let the DA sort out the facts and the details.
Perhaps the issue is that college kids these days do not view themselves as part of the big adult world yet.
I like this refreshingly hot, crunchy Chinese pickled salad in the summer. Here's how I make it:
Peel and then cut some raw turnips (real turnips) into small (1 inch) bite-sized chunks. Same with some carrots. I cut them in irregular shapes. Some cauliflower chunks. Being a turnip person, I make it about 50% turnip. Chopped cabbage, too, if you want. Blanch them all in boiling water for a minute (separately, in order of color, or you will end up with orange cauliflower). You might want to give the turnip chunks a little more time to boil, but it's all meant to be crunchy.
If you want, some (unpeeled) raw cucumber chunks in it to add color and fun, great, but add those chunks at the last few minutes before straining because soggy cucumbers are not good.
Mix clear vinegar with some salt and a teaspoon or three of sugar (to taste). Toss in some of those very hot dried red Chinese peppers, also some red pepper flakes and/or fresh jalapeno slices, and some thin slices of fresh ginger root. It's fine without the ginger too.
Throw the roots and vegetables in a garbage bag or bowl with the mixture, cover, refrigerate 6-24 hrs, stirring it up occasionally. It should be meaningfully spicy, but it doesn't have to be.
Call the police. Their number is 911. Easy to remember, even if you aren't so good with numbers.
Now if your only complaint is bad manners, I suppose that's another matter. I suppose a college has the power to enforce gentlemanly and ladylike manners if they wish to, but, if so, I am not impressed. Manners, like Codes of Conduct and Codes of Honor, are so old-fashioned, aren't they?
An immigrant is puzzled about why American blacks seem to be so susceptible to the grievance industry when it makes all the sense in the world to be grateful to be here instead of Uganda or Somalia or God knows where.
I guess everybody loves a freebie. Bowl of lentils.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, we have too many lobsters. I doubt that the lobster community would agree with that.
A few years ago, the cyclical decline in lobsters was blamed on global warming. Our local lobster, Homarus americanus, is the largest crustacean in the world, lives in cold water, and many people consider it a tasty treat. So do Striped Bass.
I think they are fun to eat once in a while, but there are many seafoods I prefer to lobster. If you want lobster, my advice is to get the biggest ones you can find. The bigger the lobster, the higher the meat/shell ratio and the more cost-efficient it is.
Phone the seafood market and ask them to steam a 5-pounder for you. There will be plenty of leftover lobster meat for sandwiches or lobster salad the next day.
The Labor Force Participation Rate
has never been lower since the seventies, when the rise of the
two-income household began. This, truly, represents a War on Women.
