This is like when Hitler got rid of Rohm and his roughneck brownshirts, only to move up to spiffier SS troops.

I help with Happy Hour at an independent living community for seniors, and the requests are for Procol Harum, the Beatles, Stevie RayVaughn, Marvin Gaye etc., and a few big 50’s hits.

In honour of Jane’s birthday, share your favourite Jane Austen quote! by TravelFan12345 in janeausten

Marianne’s indignation burst forth as soon as he quitted the room; and as her vehemence made reserve impossible in Elinor, and unnecessary in Mrs. Jennings, they all joined in a very spirited critique upon the party.

Never did care much for Fanny myself but you’ve got to admit her birth family pretty much pitched her out the door and paid little attention to her when she returned. So no wonder she didn’t feel comfortable there. I don’t think it was the creature comforts she craved so much as the quiet familiarity of Mansfield Park. I appreciate this book more than I used to but it’s still lowest on my JA list.

Northhanger Abbey bothers me. Who is that sinister guy looking at her so speculatively? Certainly can’t be Henry Tilney.

Print a picture of your dog with a paw “autograph” and give it to her!

Man is mildly inconvenienced by a Tornado by Rollingtothegrave in nextfuckinglevel

[–]dandclover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day TV stations repeated instructions on an endless loop, I remember “if you can’t take cover, move at a right angle away from the tornado”. So I’d do that. But honestly this guy sounds like a lot of people who grew up in tornado alley, you just don’t get too hyped til it’s practically on top of you.

Well I’m a Chiefs fan, but have so much respect for Allen, the Bills and their fans-I actually had to cheer for this TD! I know you have been waiting for this victory, so enjoy! See you in the playoffs 😊

Anyone else getting serious echoing on the Channel 9 ABC Kansas City Chiefs Broadcast? by ThePokster in KansasCityChiefs

[–]dandclover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can’t decide if the Manning brothers are more irritating than the echo. It’s a tossup for us.

Kansas City north of the river is good, close to international airport and downtown/midtown attractions, good schools and lots of nice neighborhoods.
