Someone is very vocal in hating a song by Nirvana - - my favorite song by them - - "All Apologies." I'm going to discuss the song with them.Randy D easily acknowledges my expertise at apologies and allows me to talk.
I'd like to see people return and others to join. In the meantime, with no determination on my part involved, I'm here now and then, as usual.
Perhaps in one of the upper rooms of that basement.I'm happy to note no guac in either room.
Not even a bit of dressing needed with cookies either.Though drinking some milk with the cookies is good for me.(Attempted-Humour aside, I'd do well to add salad and more veggies to my diet.)
If it'd be called a soup -- I love cooking lentils according to package directions and adding Tex-Joy Italian Seasoning and pouring it over freshly-prepared mini-eggshell pasta.

However, "Piggy" is an almost lovingly polite derogatory name for Trump to use. I've never heard such a nice derogatory name from him. It's nowhere near "LUNATIC' crazy, "stupid", ":vermin," etc.If I were the reporter, and believe he called me that name, I would have turned it around on the president and claimed and embraced the name.

An amazingly talented actress to me.When I was in high school, director Richard Brooks' movie "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," starring Keaton, was released. My parents knew I was always very much involved/interested in all forms of fine arts.
Up to that point in my life, I had NEVER seen such RAVE critical reviews of an actor's/actress' performance as I had reading about her performance in the movie. The movie was rated "R," so I needed an 'official' adult to go with me.I asked Dad to take me, "Dad, I'd like to see her performance." We went.The movie (very much appropriately rated, ha!) - - and Keaton -- literally took my breath away. I then read Judith Rossner's book, on which the movie was based. Great book, too.I'll always be thankful to Diane Keaton for pulling me into the experiences. less

Thank you, Gena, for your work.The original "Gloria," "The Notebook," and " A Woman Under the Influence" come to my mind at the moment.
PLOT SPOILER!

But if I chose to be gay, I know then that you know, and remember, when you chose to be heterosexual.
And I remember in my early years knowing about my same-sex attraction to others but I did not even know there was a name for it.
And I remember during my early education years, hearing, year-after-year, teachers and others talking endlessly about their opposite-sex marriages.
And reading books, seeing movies, with plots about opposite-sex couplings all the time.
And, horrors! -- As a child, I even saw pictures of opposite-sex couplings!
