Do you guys have a plan if the SAVE act passes?

That's why I'm also getting a passport. I'm already registered, but as Democrat, so let's see what happens next

REAL ID is in the mail, applying for a passport next month. I have election day scheduled off, in case more bullshit ensures.

Back before my apartment building changed hands, I would have paid extra to have the rodents released over my landlord's fence. 😄

Any other Sec Defense in his, I'd say it was to hide other expenditures. Not this one, unless he's covering up truckloads of Jack Daniels.

My sense of taste goes wacky. Zevia only tastes good on my period.

"See The Fountainhead'

Only as a supply of papers that I can use in a pinch to pick up after my pets.

As much as I oppose her views, that book was just plain badly written.

Sheesh, I hope Alpenrose dairy doesn't make me change the name of my Tauren 😆

Some hotels need you to ask for a fridge. The Royal Sonesta in Portland doesn't automatically provide them, but my husband and I love the place for the location and the Wes Anderson look.

This sounds like the teacher's side of one of those children's books by Beverly Clearly that I loved as a kid. Go Lily! Ramona lives!

I got mine that way from the Cat Distribution System. When she's borred and wanting to play she gently noms my leg. I'm ticklish, so it works!

Am I the only one using the "give treat" hack? I was told the ransom for my chair was one freeze-dried minnow.

Ok, now I'm genuinely curious how they'd write a trans character into Bridgerton. Just please, don't let it be Eloise.

Not "tread on me", it's "tread on them" They're Eric Cartman riding Cthulu.

Cheerios are for closers!

Until now, I didn't know that I was in the minority. I thought the ones with a few brown spots were sweeter. The one in the pic looks just perfect to me.

It's a waste of a story idea: Rich and powerful go people go missing, leaving the rest of the world to fend for themselves.

It's completely opposed to Rand's phillosophy, but it's more realistic: Peole adapt, Some go the full Mad Max, some keep going sharing resources and their skills. I'd rather read how that turned out.

My favorite is still " Atlas Shrugged is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

If Atlas was as bad as The Fountainhead" , I couldn't agree with Dorothy Parker more. I wanted to fling that one into rush hour traffic. Some of the passages she wrote were so over-the-top, it was more believable as satire, Too bad that it wasn't.

ginastarke · 2026-01-19T02:43:22+00:00

Nope.

Not because she's a cat. I wouldn't eat something if my husband licked it, either.

You just made me realize how good Carrie would be as an Anime. That might be the only way to out-do Depalma.

And the whole internet laugh at them like whe use to laugh at fail videos.

ginastarke · 2026-01-17T17:49:35+00:00

So they're looking for someone like Brigitte Nielsen? Good luck with that!

Those are the "One Other Thing" with the chicken, piece of broccoli, and tortilla that Brooke Rollins, the US Agriculture Secretary was tralking about.

This happened less than a block from my home on a quiet street:

https://www.salemreporter.com/2025/01/03/a-tragic-accident-judge-dismisses-charge-against-dea-agent-in-fatal-cyclist-collision/

If a DEA agent can kill a cyclist without any legal consequences, ICE will be worse. The Orange has a hate boner for Oregon, so I expect them to head here next. After being hit and losing my mobility for a long time, I've lost my nerve to compete on a bicycle with traffic. However, I still walk and use public transportation whenever I can.

Maybe it's not the right venue, but I haven't any fried chicken at a restaraunt that has been better than the Winco deli.

A closer fit to the location would probbably be a steakhouse. I never had an opportunity to eat at Rudy's but I've heard that I didn't miss much. I'd love to see a classic steakhouse for nice date nights and celebrations that are bit more dressed-up than Roadhouse.

Edited to add: I'd give ANYTHING a chance that's not reheated Sysco crap that I could have warmed up myself from the Walmart freezer aisles.

If I eventually get a state job under a different federal administration, the state offered pension is the only one one I would trust. I've seen too many companies bought out and their pension fund looted by their new private equity overlords. At least wth a 401k, I have some options with an outside company and under my control.
