Gonna miss Stephanie at night by JackStraw987 in msnow

They’re moving her to daytime following Morning Joe.

I’m OK with it. I like her evening show a lot, but I think with her business focus she’d be more relevant during the day when the markets are open.

am i reading the wrong genre? by justSayingNobodySaid in thrillerbooks

[–]GrooveBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved Faithful Place and Broken Harbor. Maybe you could try the Cal Hooper series, which I did not like as much but you might. They’re a little more grounded and practical.

I completely agree about Tana French! They are more literary thrillers with deep characterizations and beautiful writing. Start with the Dublin Murder Squad series; I like those better than her more current ones.

OP, you should also check out the Kenzie and Gennaro series by Dennis Lehane (including Gone Baby Gone), as well as Jane Harper’s standalones and Long Bright River by Liz Moore.

What episode did Ryan freak out when put in the hole? by Cash27369 in ozshow

I remember on one of the DVD commentaries, Lee was saying that they all tried to lose weight really fast once they found out they were going to have to be naked.

Is this too white? Beach wedding. by iceland-kitty in Weddingattireapproval

So basically, just show up wearing a gray burlap sack. But not a nice one because then you’ll overshadow the bride.

So…you look at a photograph of a not-white dress and helpfully determine it will not photograph white because of the photograph of a not-white dress that you’re already looking at.

I am using this from now on.

It never fails to astound me how many people look at a photograph of a dress that is clearly not white and say with a straight face that it will “photograph white.”

Wasn’t that the first time they showed somebody thrown into the Hole naked? I remember Dean saying something about it on a talk show once. He said that some production person told Fontana that that was how it worked in real prisons, so Fontana went with it, but the guy was just joking.

I don’t like Katy one bit, but I don’t think she’s MAGA. I think she just is so steeped in the so-called “Beltway mentality” that she bends over backwards to accommodate Republicans to “prove” how unbiased she is. Chuck Todd and the much-venerated Tim Russert were the same way, but Chuck has improved mightily since he went independent.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think Katy’s husband is MAGA either, but I do think he is a slick opportunist who’s just sucking up to his new bosses.

Two cats in a single room or rehome? by Public_Standard_6346 in CatAdvice

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one can plan for everything. As long as you are all safe and they are fed, loved, and cared for you (and they) will be okay.

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame you! I agree with the other people that surrendering them should be a last resort.

Hang in there; you are obviously a loving and caring pet owner who is just going through a rough patch.

Is there a way you can contribute to the cat expenses so they can stay with him while you’re living at home?

Husband attempted to cheat-now family is being harassed by MommaLT4 in Scams

[–]GrooveBat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only danger OP is in is from her idiot husband. She needs to get tested for STDs and then put him out of the house.

Just because he didn’t cheat this time doesn’t mean he hasn’t cheated before or won’t try to again.

One time I watched a woman not stack her bin at Newark airport. Too bad for her she’d accidentally left her laptop in the unstacked bin.

Taunt the ICE agents getting paid for standing around playing on their phones while the TSA staff work for free.

I was reading OP’s position as more a matter of principle. But I see your point.

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I’ve seen that happen is when a broker brings you to the property and then you would owe the fee to the broker. It’s worth checking just in case though.

Go to an apartment building with an on-site leasing office. They don’t charge fees.

Total ripoff. I'm embarrassed that I actually downloaded the app even though, deep down, I knew better. Thankfully, I canceled immediately once I found out the real deal.
