We were curious so we walked over, went in and just looked around. We stuck out like sore thumbs. EVERYONE was in costume. Very weird. They didn't charge us to get in. There were tons of tables filled with merchandise you could buy of course. If you remember the original Star Wars bar scene with all the strange and creepy critters? Well that's what was there. We left. We were way out of place. The one and only SCIFI convention I ever attended. Don't know if my kid ever attended another one as an adult. I didn't ask. It was a very discombobulating experience. Ever been to one? less

You know it needs metaphorical water and manure to grow and maybe the seeds wait patiently until the time is right and the environment is optimum and then they BOOM sprout overnight? Was Hitler always a madman or did he become that?
I'll take sliced turkey on wheat with lettuce and mustard from you, Julie, and a thick peanut butter and grape jelly from you, Helene. See, problem solved, right?
Will you wear a complete outfit made entirely out of unused plastic garbage, trash, bin bag/liners the next time you do some gardening. Why or why not?

It is one of only 15 surviving ones. Journalists have been reporting that this is strange for many reasons. One was that Jesus is a religious image, as he is considered a messenger and a prophet. However, this painting is going to the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Apparently, it is acceptable. So what is the rule about buying religious art in Muslim countries?!

They got 4.4 inches. We had a trace of snow. The whole city went nut, but they didn’t close the schools. There are kids who have never seen snow! Tell us a story about snow, if you have one.
