The Hall of Fire

But nursing isn't a culture; it's a profession. So, while I understand why you'd be offended by a sexy nurse* outfit, it's not quite the same thing as cultural appropriation. *Insert any other "sexy" thing here because that seems to be a staple of Halloween costumes. My daughter dressed as...

I agree with Maria and Frelga about guns and kids. If you have guns in the home, the best thing to do is to teach them to use them responsibly. My girls have handled guns since they were young teens. Competitive shooting and/or hunting may seem odd to people in other countries (or other circles), bu...

I'm with the author of that article on this one. Did no one stop to think this was a bad idea? Why did they think it was funny?

I do the testing on our surgery patients, moms coming in to deliver babies, and any newborns whose mothers test positive. <--That is one of the least favorite parts of my job. (Of course, that testing includes more than THC, but that's the one I see the most.) Ohio had an issue on the ballot to decr...

My coworker printed off the Politico article about this theory of Trump as the mystery witness and made me read it last night. It'll be interesting to learn (if we ever do) who it actually is.

I have seen a few people saying that they were going to donate to HIAS, and I think that's a terrific idea.

This is connected to the refugee caravan and Soros?!



I'm so angry!

Our president stirs up hatred and then sits back and pretends to condemn it (sometimes). What a joke.

The latest controversy with Megyn Kelly and her comments about blackface had me wondering. Back when Katie was a little girl, she loved the American Girl dolls, and she was particularly enchanted by Kaya, the Nez Perce girl. She wanted to dress up in a jingle dress for Halloween, so I sewed her a co...

That was fascinating! I love how some of them have their wings all folded up.

I think it's a wolf, actually.

I will pray. This system is ridiculous.

I was disappointed by it as well. I can remember being disappointed by another version, too, though. I guess I'm not sure this book can be adapted into a movie and still have it be as magical and profound. I mean, it wasn't awful as far as that goes. If you weren't familiar with the book, it might e...

It is gorgeous, Jude.

Oh, I can't even include classical music. I could never choose. I agree with several suggestions here, and I'd offer this one by Sufjan Stevens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otx49Ko3fxw John Wayne Gacy, Jr. <shudder> If those last lines don't punch you in the gut, I don't know what would.

Rose, :hug: :hug: :hug: I have been following this conversation here, but I haven't participated. I've mentioned on b77 that this past week has been difficult for me, bringing up a lot of difficult and ugly feelings. These mostly stemmed from the comments I am reading and hearing around me, from tot...

That is lovely, Maria! I do hope it is loved and appreciated long after you're gone.

Check out Nailed It on Netflix then. :D I laughed till I cried. (I am like you in that I can rarely take in dramatic fiction. The only fiction I can handle right now is funny. Derry Girls is damn funny, btw. Plus the music is really good.) Also, I breezed through Queer Eye and thought it was very en...

I did start watching Derry Girls on YouTube. It's quite funny! But I am not gonna lie--it is hard to understand the accents! And closed captioning is ridiculous for it.

I haven't started that one yet, Al, but it looks good. I did start Lost in Space last night. Anyone else watching it? I adored this show as a kid. (I spent countless hours playacting it, always with the dilemma of whether to be Penny—smart—or Judy—pretty. Penny usually won.) Anyway, I liked it well ...
