I'm sure a return of Picard would be popular. I would be more enthused by a return of Kate Mulgrew's Janeway.

I'm curious to know if any other forumites have noticed the change in the price point approach of panhandlers. I remember when it was "can you spare some change?," then it became "can you spare a buck?," in the past few months, and again today, it was "can you spare five dollars?". Today, after giving a dollar, I received a dogmatic air of disapproval and not so much as a perfunctory thank you. Going forward my response is going to be "sorry, I can't afford you."

Usually when they look this young, I say pass. But in this case, I say pass him over here.

Rescue operations have been suspended for the day. I was so hoping they would all be out of there today. With the incoming rain the remaining rescues are going to be ever more perilous. If I were any of those parents, I would be a basket-case.

This running with the bulls is much more my style:

I've heard it for years and perceived it to mean "on the double." One of the Asian bartenders at the Asian-owned Web bar in New York used it all the time.

For some diction is more precise.

Rambidextrous.

Interesting that a statue of Lady Justice with her breast permanently revealed is given a place of honor in the Department of Justice building, and Janet Jackson flashing a boob at a half-time gets shade. Where is the justice?

It'll take a whole lot of Windex to tame that $23 million house.

I didn't get it either. The Urban Dictionary definition brought it home. Now it's funny for me. Thanks.

The driver education teacher at the high school I attended was Mr. Carr. One of the tellers at the bank in the town where I lived was Mrs. Money.

It's impressive, but I'm curious about, when he already has a $21 million mansion, why he would want to purchase a $23 million mansion in the same neighborhood. Perhaps he is thinking in terms of real estate investments.

Oh, yes!

I've resigned myself to no longer expect common courtesy, dignity, or self-respect in the general public arena.

Twenty eighteen

Always. I don't like the variables: weather, delayed/missed transportation, loss of luggage, overcrowding. All that with wondering if/when/where the next gun-laden crazy will launch his/her perception of a cure for society.

Also very nice.

If there is an interest in sustaining the relationship, "discretion is the better part of valor."

I was curious. If this man is the Tom Hopper to whom you are referring, we're on the same page.

I was tempted several times, but every time I pulled up his ad there was more tattooing. He seemed personable several years ago when his (at that time) boyfriend introduced us.
