I’m boycotting Russian artists. Let me know when the Ukrainian orchestra is playing.
Finally arrested after a 40 year effort by victims to get justice. Looks like it took the mainstream media’s focus on it to finally get cops and prosecutors to take action. Sad.
I used a 5.5 qt Le Creuset for years, cooking mainly for two, and it was great.

Got a 7.25 quart Le Creuset , and it is now my go to, except for gumbo which gets a big cast iron pot that I don't even know the capacity of.

The 7.25 is pretty heavy, especially full of soup/stew, for a woman to handle, but it's a great size to upsize a recipe for leftovers.
It is utilized too much.

Dude has had a solid NFL career despite injury problems for a while. Pretty good for a kid from Green Oaks HS in Shreveport.
A local deputy stopped a guy in his work truck for a traffic matter. Did not write him a ticket but called his employer. Driver got fired. A ticket would have been better.

John Wesley - The Journeyman Guitarist is a YouTube channel. Some of his videos discuss his band's experience with the "silent stage" and using in ears. He says that set up helped their singer.

There are lots of contenders, but when I hear "hot chick in a music video" my mind goes immediately to Susanna Hoffs in The Bangles videos. She really did it for me.

Do you currently have health insurance? How much is it?

This idiot needs the iExit app on their phone. It tells you exactly what services are at the upcoming exits and how far away they are.
Ice-T told a similar story on WTF with Marc Maron about going to a zoo in Ireland.

So we went to a zoo. Yeah. And a fricking gorilla almost tried to kill me. Right. Like we were we were me and Ernie. See, we're looking at this gorilla and it was big plexiglass thing. Yeah, well it was maybe 40 feet away and it took one look at me. I might have been the first black person it saw and it beat his chest and it came and it rushed and it tried to hit the glass.

Bam! I'm like, oh my God, that glass wasn't there. That will help me. I almost died by gorilla entirely.

From the Wikipedia:

quote:

Sidney Lumet knew Philip Seymour Hoffman was going to have more difficulty with the opening sex scene than Marisa Tomei. "I don't think Philip has ever conceived of himself in the nude fricking onscreen. It's just not something that comes his way. So when we started blocking, Marisa hopped up on the bed, got on her hands and knees, slapped her arse and said, 'Come on Phil, let's go!' I could kiss her. Because if Philip had any inhibitions, they were gone," Lumet said.
Spray it thoroughly with Febreze Fabric Extra Strength. Then hang it outside, hopefully during sunny and dry weather, and let it air out for a few days.

How do some of yall have so many vehicle repairs? I’ve put hundreds of thousands of miles on my vehicles over my time driving and the only non routine maintenance I’ve ever had was a transmission rebuild on a vehicle that I got $250k miles out of.


You driving Toyotas or Hondas?

re: Tax on selling car in LA

Go to Google and ask its AI: do you owe capital gains tax if you sell a car for more than you paid for it?

All will be revealed.

The basic answer is yes, subject to reductions in your basis for costs you incurred to acquire it (sales taxes, shipping, etc.).plus major, long-term improvements. But it's not like there is going to be a 1099 issued. I bet 95% of people who do this do not report it.

There were rumors/reports about her and Kevin Costner, but they said they were just friends.
You or a neighbor may have new electronics that are interfering.

Can be wifi, appliances, LED lights, some sprinkler systems, or anything that creates RF noise.

Could try starting from scratch. Erase old codes and have remotes learn new codes.

re: Why do people hate Subaru

When Shreveport had snowmageddon a few years ago, I couldn't get out of my driveway for a week. A neighbor had to take me in his side-by-side to a relative in assisted living to deliver some meds.

Meanwhile, the manager of the assisted living facility had a little Subaru AWD car, and she used it to shuttle employees back and forth to work with no issues.

Subaru is on my list if I move to a colder, more hilly/mountainous area.
