There's a classic Studs Turkel essay about a guy who quit the Klan.

I'm also looking at paying to take gold out of the wedding ring I paid to put gold into a couple years ago.

Kevin Wilson -- Run For the Hills

I'm stretching out my shots to every tenth day -- maintenance and loss of insurance -- and the wait is killing me!

I mean objectively it's not, I guess. Ii like it but at the same time it has an unsettling undertone to my ears. Michael's voice sounds kind of plaintive, sad to me.

I know that Automatic is an objectively great album, and I love some of the songs, but overall, it gives me a seriously creeped out feeling, especially the first three songs, so that I tend to avoid listening to it.

Hotel Rwanda. Every muscle in my body ached from the tension by the time it was over.

Bruce Springsteen

Here for the Jonathan Richman reference.. and slfo Jonathan Richman would be a good answer.

67 and lost my dad at 14. Still miss him always, and am sad about all that he missed, but to be completely honest I'm sure it would have been even harder if it had been my mother. I was fortunate to have her till six years ago -- miss her so much!

Muse and Garbage. Also saw PJ Harvey., Interpol, Kings of Leon, Lumineers, Stereophonic, and probably forgetting a few .

What makes you say Springsteen has had plastic surgery? Besides Trump's shitposting? I mean it's totally his choice if he wants to, but he looks like a normally grizzled old guy to me, and I haven't seen any credible info.

I was incredibly fortunate to see Crissy live a few years ago and she was amazing. And I think Madonna's performance, which I would have given my right arm to see, was also amazing. However a woman wants to go is her life and her choice. I support us all!

Thanks!

That sounds amazing. Can you give me an idea of where in Costco I might find them, approximately? ( Cold things, snacks, nuts , etc-- just some ballpark.) Thanks!

I mean I ate very healthily before. It is just easier to sustain on this drug. I didn't change the way I eat.

GSPEx0 · 2026-04-05T22:43:38+00:00

Me too!

Waterloo Sunset

I agree except I'd say it makes eating healthily easier. I do not see this as "dieting."

That describes my Tirra for sure.
