I bet drawing them is very hard, but painting by number must take quite a bit of work too, because of the colorful patterns. That was a whole lot of great pictures, Danny. Thank you!

Wow oh wow!

Mostly low-key pokey.

I do like it—it looks dynamic!

Awesome! The reflection on the water is really interesting.

I called my dad to let him know everything’s good. I’ve been traveling, and it had been almost 2 months since we actually talked.

Thank you, Danny! These are all beautiful in varying ways.

About $150, it turns out, for new support soles.

No, I see shoes everywhere all the time. Of course, there are also usually pants and shirts and people in them.

It’s always nice to see people return. We’re definitely losing business, but I’m grateful to those who keep the place running.

I thought I cursed myself a little in that regard after declining a girl’s marriage proposal when she and I were about 7. In the end, I’d say luck compensated for lack of charm. A whole lotta luck for a very big lack.

That sentence would have been quite different if you removed another L or two!

Welby’s right—it’s quite the poetry, Bukowski-wise. I’ve been thinking about different ideas of freedom lately… In the end, it seems we’re always going to be restricted by others and therefore need to be free from ourselves.

Thanks! I did number 6, too!

I'm not sure each and every single one should be a foregone conclusion, hehe.

Is it rude if I ask what kinds of services? I'm just curious.

I might be--I think I accidentally closed my lips too tightly around a water bottle.

Not sure what my sales pitch will be. "Do you ever feel like you can't get enough of politics?"

Spanish?

That's true. I would never have thought it, but it seems we're desperately lacking in questions about what may or may not cause pregnancy.

I'm sorry. Hope to see you here again sometime. It's not a very active place, but still means a lot. Should we do a recruitment push?

I had kept all of mine through four years of college, until I finished my last exam. I came home, euphoric, and decided to celebrate by sorting through all my college material(!) Most of it were workbooks that would have been of no good to anyone, so...  moreI had kept all of mine through four years of college, until I finished my last exam. I came home, euphoric, and decided to celebrate by sorting through all my college material(!) Most of it were workbooks that would have been of no good to anyone, so I recycled them. Reading materials and sheets that were blank on one side I kept--as well as everything on my computer.  

Now, what if that goat were easily winning the race to the manger, then looked back and decided to wait for the others to catch up because it's more fun to run together? ;)

I've seen people try to get a reaction from you, but it just makes you kinder. And when people are kind to you, it just makes you kinder. No matter what, you just become kinder. That's pretty quirky/insane.

I don't know, but it has something to do with blow.

I'm sorry, this may sound hostile, which isn't how I intend it, but I don't think young boys (or girls) should look up to Trump's backstory instead.

Is it just my impression, or were you happier with Biden?

I'm sorry about your mom. You do make a very compelling argument for memorial pages.

I'd like there to be a way for my digital friends to know I've passed away. Just no virtual tears, please.

No, but I like it! Seems convenient. As far as some drivers go, I want them to have only just enough horsepower to survive.

I’m just happy so many kids will pay more attention in biology class. The need to be an expert about everything on the internet seems a powerful motivator.

I understand… Is it fair to say that’s a way of living on?

That’s a heck of a picture! And to think Steph had a tough start to the tournament… He’s practically unstoppable when playing like this. And, if I may so, the main reason the US beat Serbia (by four points) in the semis.

Oh my, that image!! Yes, I remember Waboo. Fun times. Sorry to say I don't remember him ever joining answerMug.

Indeed not!

Seems you're right about that, although he also voted against the 'Right to IVF Act' recently. I'm not sure what to make of that, but he has said he supports IVF, so I'll cautiously take that part back. I don't know where I alluded to abortion, which...  moreSeems you're right about that, although he also voted against the 'Right to IVF Act' recently.

Trump was already guaranteed to win the upcoming election, wasn't he? Why worry about it? I was impressed with Vance's background and life experiences, but the man went to Yale and came back with phrases such as "childless cat ladies."

Not to mention he seems to oppose childlessness and IVF alike, while suggesting Harris (a stepmother) and Buttigieg (father of two adopted children) shouldn't be in politics if they don't have kids.  

Awesome! I remember finding out that one of my best friends from high school was also in my first year of kindergarten. I had moved to another city, then come back. "Daughters dances in dances" is a cool phrase, too!

Icouldn't I couldn't.It's been too long! Have both you and Stu stopped performing this classic routine?

It seems to me that this article is more about a commercialized idea of meditation--what the writer of McMindfulness calls "capitalist spirituality." Pretty big business. Your individual approach I think is the positive way to do it!

That's great too! I love the lack of suggestions that a former attorney general only has value because of her skin colour and sex organs!

There seem to be varying ideas of what meditation even is, or what it's supposed to be. If it just means letting go of one's thoughts, then yes--my bathroom time is very important to me.

I can imagine the steps of surprise as you narrowed it down. Very cool!

That's a great story--funnier still for leading to an argument. Cheers!

Well done!

Would you like to share any "small world" stories?

Feel free to interpret that question liberally! (Regardless of politics, for once.)I just found out that this little Serbian village, to which I moved from my native Belgium, includes a woman who lived in Belgium and returned here with her Dutch husband. ...  moreFeel free to interpret that question liberally! (Regardless of politics, for once.)I just found out that this little Serbian village, to which I moved from my native Belgium, includes a woman who lived in Belgium and returned here with her Dutch husband. (So I'm not telling you which village, Randy.) For a place of about 320 people, in a country more than 1000 miles away and with a declining population, I can't say I was expecting to hear Dutch again!
