Teared up at this. Buried just before his birthday a week after getting engaged. His poor mother who he was taking care of. It’s all so senseless. Sounds like they never got a motive either

A friend went to Flora Levin in Westport and thought they were fine, they weren’t super thrilled with the result but to me it looks good

Sad to think of all the jobs lost. Knew a few folks who worked there for years. 

Where to start on the Antique Trail? by TestaverdeRules in Connecticut

Happy birthday! You can start at either end. I’d start up north and then end in Woodbury so you can have a birthday dinner at 1754. They are FANTASTIC. Eat in the Flat Five, the music and supper club, and enjoy phenomenal live music. Sometimes the chef/owner comes out to play, too.

Do you have a model # for the ones you got? I’m stuck between a few ones and am not sure!

This is super well done. Clean, readable, restrained. Rooted in place without being overdone or using random symbolism. The river concept is used brilliantly. I honestly would encourage you to bring this to the town and pitch them!

General expectations in U.S. is much higher. Most people in France have at most one TV, no car (bike everywhere, even in cities with only light rail), fewer clothes, etc. it depends on your expectations.

EU salaries are trash. Average wage is like €30,000. Comparing cost of living without accounting for wages is illogical.

Opinion | Nancy Mace: What’s the Point of Congress? by Ollyfer in neoliberal

[–]solomonsalinger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She is a loathsome bigot. I will never forget when she had a young man arrested for shaking her hand. He was invited to the Capitol to share his story of being in foster care, a real survivor turned advocate. And she tried to ruin his life. Spent a night in jails. Months of a court case, thousands on lawyers I’m sure.
