The house she lived in for years before she died was sold recently and it has been demolished. Sadly, this is not the first time a house she lived in disappeared. Blanche: This is horrible. As Big Daddy used to say, "I'm feeling lower than the rent on a burnin' building."Rose: That's funny. I used to live in a burning building. And it was cheap. It was Charlie's and my first house. Well, scoff if you must, but it was warm and toasty. I'll never forget Charlie throwing me over his shoulder and dashing across the threshold. Oh, it was a beautiful place. Three bedrooms, two baths. Then two bedrooms and one bath. Eventually, we outgrew the place.

Admit it... the purpose of your post was to challenge me to come up with an appropriate quote. I accept your challenge and give you two from the same episode. But first we have to set the scene... Dorothy's first-grade class is supposed to stage the play Henny Penny, which will encourage them to learn to read. But when the kids are quarantined during a measles outbreak, the girls take their places in the production. Rose agrees to play the part, but is horrified to learn Henny is eaten by a fox at the end. Dorothy: Rose, the play isn't real. It's a fairy tale. Not all stories end happily, and children have to learn that.Rose: You call yourself a teacher? It's people like you who are responsible for all the evil on this planet.Dorothy: I guess I had that coming. Dorothy: Look, Rose, if you don't do the part, there won't be any play. Now, this is a project that I care about deeply, but I don't want you doing it for my sake, Rose. Do it for the kids. It's a chance to get them reading.Rose: All right, all right, I'll do it. And not just for the kids. I just feel it's time I gave something back to the chicken community. After all, a chicken once saved my life. [exits]Blanche: They are the stupidest birds.

I've never been able to call certain celebs by their birth names after hearing them called something else. For example, once somebody told me that Clorox Bleachman told a talk show host she had been called that, I never referred to her as anything else.

Both of my grandfathers died in 1929, 33 years before I was born. I don't miss them. Urethra Franklin had her first child at 12 in 1955.

Well, I've heard that many are considered sluts.

Rougned Odor has a brother named Rougned Odor. Wilmer Flores has a younger brother who's a decent pitching prospect for the Tigers named Wilmer Flores. I'm not sure, but Orlando 'El Duque' Hernandez may have a brother named Orlando Hernandez, but that would likely only be because they ran out of names. His father had 38 kids.

Really?!?!? On a site begun to facilitate men spending large amounts of money to attractive (or at least, hung) men for sex, you can't figure out why? She's obviously one of the many perverted Aussies who can't get enough sex, and she blew all her money blowing...

The Mets have agreed to a five-year, $75MM deal with right-hander Kodai Senga. Senga’s contract also has no-trade protection and an opt-out clause following the 2025 season. There wasn’t any doubt that owner Steve Cohen was prepared to keep spending in order to keep his 101-game winning team in line to be World Series contenders. However, the spending spree has just continued to reach record levels, as the Mets now project to have a 2023 payroll of roughly $334.68MM, and a luxury tax number of just over $349.5MM.

You mean Australian society. You know how uncivilized those Aussies can be! 😁😇😁😇😁

A woman in the US has shared how she discovered her dad isn’t her biological father after a stranger texted her to get a DNA test. In a series of videos, TikTok user Lane (@laneiscool14) detailed her remarkable story. Last year, she received an anonymous message from an unknown phone number encouraging her to conduct an Ancestry.com test. “This f**king text message right here changed my life forever,” she said in a three-minute clip. “About a year ago now, on Jan 9, I get a text message telling me to get a DNA test from Ancestry. “And I think it’s fake, I FaceTime my friend, and I’m like, ‘Listen to this’. And she’s like, ‘I swear my gut is telling me this is real. You need to respond’. So I respond, and then they write me back.” The Brooklyn-based TikToker said the text conversation left her “shook”. And in need of grammar lessons. She added that the person made a “burner account on Facebook” to message her and her husband about the DNA test. “They would not provide me with any sort of proof that this was real, and, obviously, I called my mum immediately, saying, ‘What the f**k,’” she continued. Lane’s mother ultimately confessed that she had an affair with a 25-year-old man while she was in college at age 35 receiving her degree in education. So Lane is half-cougar? She admitted the man who raised Lane was not her father. “I almost fell off my f**king chair,” Lane explained in the video. “She had an affair with a guy ten years younger than her when she was in college. “It was a one-time thing, but he even saw her on campus and said, ‘Is that mine?’ and she denied it.” BITCH! Lane immediately ordered an Ancestry test. Six weeks later, she received her results. “I find out that, yes, this man is my father. So I message him immediately, and he lives in California. He’s British. What the f**k?” she said. “He said my mum sent him a Christmas card when I was two years old, saying my name in it and that he’s googled my name ever since. “In 2007, my name popped up, and he saw a picture of me, and he knew immediately that I was his daughter.” Lane said her biological father emailed her mother to get in contact with her, but she “threatened him” and said to “leave them alone” and never contact them again. I repeat, BITCH! “So what did he do? He followed me on social media my entire life,” she said. “He watched me date my boyfriend, get married, have babies, everything, all from the outside, not able to know me.” Lane then posted a side-by-side photo of her and her biological father, writing, “I’m telling you this picture freaked me the f**k out.” In a follow-up video, Lane revealed her biological father once called her place of work at the time and asked what time it closed in the hopes of hearing her voice. He also wanted to go get his haircut by her at the salon she worked at, but said his wife advised against it because she thought Lane would immediately know he was her father. see pic below Lane said in another video that it wasn’t her biological father who sent the text messages, but his nephew, who found himself in a similar experience. Lane said the family secret put a significant strain on her relationship with her mother. As a result, she cut her out of her life. “Cutting my mum off was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Lane said. “Never would I have ever expected it.” In a recent update, Lane revealed that she and the father who raised her haven’t spoken about the news, but he does know she isn’t his biological daughter. “One of my sisters who I’m estranged with, immediately told him. another BITCH! So, I don’t know what his reaction was,” she said. “I can only imagine he was just as devastated as me, but then there is also the fact that between him and [me], not a lot changes,’ she said. “That is still my dad. I am still his daughter. My kids are still his grandkids.” Lane explained that will talk to him about it eventually and is taking things at her own pace. “I just feel like I have two dads now, which is a good thing,” she concluded. https://nypost.com/2022/12/10/woman-discovers-dad-isnt-her-biological-father-after-stranger-texts-her-to-get-dna-test/

Well, if I had to guess in which country (and time period) that had happened, Germany would be it.

What a pity. It seems like an excellent way to have disposed of a body if they had any disputes with neighbors.

I hope he has a good lawyer A 23-year-old Sydney resident has been left “struggling” after Nespresso mistakenly took hundreds of dollars from her bank account due to an internal technical error. Raha Bonakdar said she was randomly fleeced of $370 [USD] on Wednesday and only realized on Thursday when she opened her phone banking app. “I was about to transfer some money somewhere and I opened my bank account and thought, ‘Wait a second, why am I missing $540 [$370 USD]?’,” Bonakdar told news.com.au. On closer inspection, she saw that on Wednesday at 2:19 pm, the amount had been withdrawn by Nespresso. “I was shocked. I couldn’t move,” she said, revealing she had not paid for any product or subscription from Nespresso for several months. She contacted the company immediately and a staff member confirmed there had been an error and she would be refunded the money that had been mistakenly taken. While the worker was apologetic, Bonakdar argued it was unfair given she would be hugely out of pocket for up to five business days. She was eventually offered a $50 [$34 USD] store credit – compensation she said was far below what she was willing to accept. “I just bought a new car, I just paid for braces … I have a good wage but it doesn’t matter. They took $540 [$370 USD] that I was meant to use to pay for my bills,” she said. Bonakdar had no choice but to survive on her savings until the $370 landed back in her account. “I have to go through my savings and pull out every single dollar that I have left to just pay for the bills on the weekend. I have rent due as well,” she said. “Regardless of whether I have money saved here or there, I’m still struggling to pay bills that I was supposed to pay for tonight.” She added that $34 – that could only be spent on coffee products – was “definitely not enough” for her being out of $370 due to an internal error. “I feel like my account was violated. It wasn’t a cyber breach, if it was, maybe I would have been more easygoing because that would be an external factor, but that fact it was internal, that’s what’s p**sed me off,” she said. Bonakdar spent 40 minutes on the phone with the supervisor on Friday, who she said doubled down on a $34 voucher being the best they could offer. In an email she received from Gavin Hughes, the company’s Oceania head of customer care and services, on Thursday, it was confirmed $370 had been taken from her account because of a business “payment error”. “We are getting in touch as we are aware that you have been affected. We would like to apologize for this anomaly. This is a matter we take very seriously, and your experience is our absolute priority,” part of the email, shared with news.com.au, read. “We have moved quickly to resolve this internal payment error and are refunding $540 [$370 USD] payment taken from your account December 7, 2022.” The email said the refund could be processed immediately, or take between three and five business days. “We’d like to assure you that your personal data has not been put at risk, this was an internal issue in our closed and protected environment. We are also taking steps to safeguard against any recurrence of this error going forward,” the email stated. Following inquiries from news.com.au, Nespresso responded to social media posts made by Bonakdar saying it would investigate her complaint. A spokesperson for Nespresso said the company had notified the affected customers and apologized for the inconvenience. “On December 7, we identified a payments issue which has meant some of our customers were incorrectly charged on their Nespresso subscription. We immediately took action and moved quickly to resolve the issue and refund any payments taken,” they told news.com.au. “This was an internal issue in our closed and protected environment, we are taking steps to safeguard against any reoccurrence of this issue in the future. We have notified all customers who have been affected and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.” https://nypost.com/2022/12/09/woman-had-to-use-savings-account-after-nespresso-makes-unauthorized-charge/?dicbo=v2-848210b4e4a1e008c994b9357f5a4997https://nypost.com/2022/12/09/woman-had-to-use-savings-account-after-nespresso-makes-unauthorized-charge/?dicbo=v2-848210b4e4a1e008c994b9357f5a4997

Scientists Down Under went to new depths to see a world never-before explored with human eyes. Australian researchers searched deeper than scuba divers and submarines could go. Cameras explored the frigid sea bottom, under enormous pressure, down to 3.6 miles under the surface. And look what they found… “There are wonderful things that live in the Twilight Zone with bioluminescence, lights and big fangs,” Dianne Bray, Senior Collections Manager at the Museums Victoria Research Institute in Australia, told FOX Weather. “The deep sea is our least known environment, and we captured just a tiny amount.” The “Twilight Zone” sits on massive, ancient volcanoes, now seamounts, that are 40 to 120 million years old. The largest mountains in Australia, above or below water, can be 42 miles across, and the only surface evidence of them is the tiny, tippy-tops that we know as Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The area is Australia’s newest Marine Parks, designated in March. “And the seamounts get studded with these enormous monsters, and yet we know nothing about them,” explained Tim O’Hara, chief scientist of the mission, before his 35-day journey to the unknown. “No scientific expedition has been there to look at the biology or the fauna down there. So we’ll be the first.” PREVIOUS 3of3 NEXT Australian scientists explored the ocean depths 3.6 miles below the surface. Museums Victoria Research Instit They discovered many new species of fish. Museums Victoria Research Instit One of the hundreds of unidentified species discovered by scientists on this trip. Museums Victoria Research Instit They welcomed the never-before-seen blind eel. It is covered in loose, transparent and gelatinous skin. “They’re also livebearers. So the females give birth to live young,” Bray marveled at the oddity in fish. “So they really don’t have any dispersal mechanisms. They don’t have larvae that get carried around in the current.” The blind eel was just one of the hundreds of specimens that O’Hara and his team brought back to the Institute. PREVIOUS 2of2 NEXT This pancake urchin flattens like a pancake when out of water. Museums Victoria Research Instit The tripod fish stands stationary on its three ray fins to feed. Museums Victoria Research Instit “We expect maybe a third of all the animals that will bring back will be new species,” said O’Hara. Bray’s favorite find is the tripod fish. “Those amazing deep-sea fishes that stand high up off the seafloor on their long, thin fin rays and face into the current to feed,” said Bray. PREVIOUS 1of3 NEXT During this fish's development, one eye migrated to the other side of its body. Museums Victoria Research Instit Scientists estimate 1/3 of the fish discovered will be new species. Museums Victoria Research Instit Researchers said the deep sea is "our least-known environment." Museums Victoria Research Instit “They’re not only just hermaphrodites, they’re simultaneous hermaphrodites. So they have a functional ovotestis, which is a pretty interesting reproductive strategy and a great one for life in the deep sea where animals are rare,” continued Bray. “So maybe they only have to meet one other fish to mate.” The fish have fully formed ovaries and testes complete with sperm. They can not inseminate themselves, but they can inseminate any other tripod fish. The unique oceanography of the area evolved creatures with wholly specialized features. “The Cocos Keeling Islands area is a really interesting area because it receives currents from Africa, from the western Indian Ocean and also from the Pacific,” Bray explained. “We were trying to work out what kinds of animals live there that are unique to this region and what animals are fairly widespread.” Take a look at the Sloan’s Viperfish with huge fangs that are visible even when its mouth is closed. They sport rows of light organs along with one at the tip of their long upper fin with which to attract prey. Among pumice stones that are likely from Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption in Indonesia, you can also find the Slender Snipe Eel. It has a long tail that can stretch over 3 feet in length. The tail is similar to a thread, though. The entire animal weighs under 2 ounces. The pancake sea urchin, with its poison-tipped spines, flattens out, like a pancake when out of water. The institute collects DNA and then maps and traces the species’ biogeography and evolution to not only learn about the world humans share with animals but learn how to better coexist with nature. “So it’s a really important role that something that museums alone are capable of doing. There’s still parts of the world that are completely unknown,” said O’Hara. “This is like the wild west of Australia, it’s just it’s an unknown territory. And so, to be the first person or the first group of people to go there and explore this area in detail is a privilege. And it’s a very exciting endeavor.” The team mapped the ocean floor with high-tech multibeam sonar and cameras. Nets and sleds collected samples that are now being studied. https://nypost.com/2022/12/09/never-before-seen-fish-found-more-than-3-miles-under-the-sea/?dicbo=v2-749ecb26a5bbb9f5267da87540520606 This is the same country that gave us the koala?

I went to Europe for three straight years 1989-1991 and was amazed at the look of some of their subway stations. I remember the chandeliers(!) in Moscow. Today I saw this: UKRAINE WAR A light in the dark Ukraine city takes holidays underground to avoid missile strikes Kharkiv City Council posted a photo of its New Year’s tree, installed in the city’s central subway station rather than in its central square, on its Telegram channel.
