Please quit pretending that only the politicians who you like or support are the ones who do everything correctly. Politics as usual, and all politicians play politics.

Ballroom Blitz was the first song I heard this morning so it made me think up this question. Cheers!

The movie is timeless to me now -- it all could have happened yesterday. (And it was the first movie I saw with Montgomery Clift - he remains probably the best actor I've seen, overall. No matter what movie role, he always comes across as authentic, a real person, honest. Oh, yeah -- and incredibly handsome, ha. Guy Pearce is right up there with Monty, too, for me.) less

I really recommend it if you haven't seen it. I bet you'll find it worth your time.This is Julianne Moore in the gif.

And every time I look up the video, it now has subtitles. (I find them distracting.)And they have inserted supposed unspoken thoughts of people in the video - - even more annoying to me. :)EDIT: Well, they don't want it posted. :) Here's a link to a youtube video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc&list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc&start_radio=1 less

I’ll delete my name from them as the “accused”, Jane S’ name as the “victim”, and replace them with Livvie as the accused and my name as the vic! It’s a perfect plan, it’ll work like a charm, and finally I’ll have some peace and quiet! (I’m so happy.)~

That's what I experienced. I felt about 95% better one day last week- my only symptoms were mild fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. I felt so good I got up and started scrubbing my house. Within about 24 hours, my fever and chills were back though.I can see how easy it might be for someone to think they're well and go out and spread it during one of these lulls.Do any of you have info on what causes them, how many times it can happen, etc? Or how you can tell if you're really well? less

I steped on her hose which cut off the water presser and she started shaking the watering wand wondering what was wrong with it. After a few seconds I took my foot off the hose and she started watering the plants again. After a few seconds I steped on her hose again and she started shaking the watering wand again. I kept doing the same thing for a couple of minutes and I would of got away with it if not for those meddling kids - they started laughing and pointed me out to the lady. Cheers! less

Whenever you get the word that it’s on the cinemagraphic horizon, grab your helmets and flak jackets, hunker down in a bunker to wait out the bombardment of sap and mush, avoid it like the plague. Don’t fall for the scuttlebutt that it’s a man’s movie based on its title; the enemy is pushing out the propaganda machine in full force to lull you into a booby trap of chickflickitis, as it is known in Latin. Consider this territory off limits. Yick! less

In researching background information prior to posting this question, I came across some interesting facts of which I had not previously been aware. Principal among them is that “Josef Stalin” is a pseudonym that he adopted for himself in 1912. I was a bit surprised to learn that in his younger years, he did quite well in his studies, and that he both wrote poetry and painted.
*Josef Stalin was born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili in December of 1878. The Josef part is similar to his birth name, Ioseb, and is most likely a mere difference in spelling, pronunciation, culture, or language. The Stalin portion is interesting in that it appears to have been made up. “Stal” is the derivative of the word for steel, and when married to the suffix -in, it translates roughly to ‘Man of Steel’ (not unlike our Western Superman, Man of Steel). As an invented surname, there’s a possibility that it’s not very common at all, the... less

I went into someone’s profile last night and waded through a vast wasteland of pages upon pages of questions that had zero answers, clearly more than three quarters of the total number of questions posted. I bought thought that I had a poor showing of goose eggs with my myriad of silly Qs, but this person has far bypassed me both in quantity and percentage of the unanswered. For those of you who post questions, what’s your “Crickets Chirping” rate?~
