I use gray as in, “OMG that monochrome gray kitchen is horrible” or “Damn it! I have to get the hairdressers this week to get my gray roots colored”. Actually. I lied. I use the spellings interchangeably and for no particular rhyme or reason.

I use grey to describe a mood liked “it was a grey and dreary day” but also to describe the color of my favorite sweater to wear on such a day – “I pulled out my favorite grey wool sweater to match today’s cold and grey weather.”
DNA analysis of early medieval graves show there were people of West African and Middle Eastern ancestry, and they were not slaves. "Britain" had long established trade with faraway lands even before the Romans and it is not impossible that some of these traders settled there.
who were then invaded and ruled by the Vikings in large swaths and then by the Normans and so on.
and largely assimilated into the Roman culture until the Romans left and the Anglo Saxons took over,
Behind a paywall, but Britain (the island of) has long been invaded and ruled over by various groups since the earliest known "Britain's", i.e. Chedder Man, who were displaced by the Beaker People who were displaced by the Celts and Picts, the Celts later subjugated by the Romans,
He should stick with holding Lara's makeup brushes.
What foreigners is he speaking of? The Neanderthals, the Celts, the Picts, the Romans (and all their various shades of soldiers and citizens), the Anglo Saxons, the Vikings, the Normans, the Windsors?
Given the blown pupils I say Ketamine or Shrooms.
The WPA? The New Deal? How woke Ted. 🤣
How do you say, "I've never read the source material" without saying "I've never read the source material"?
IDK. I think it's around the time of year Melania gets her annual Kidney Tune Up.
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that the Cracker Barrel logo should never change."
George Washing leads his troops across the icy Delaware, when suddenly the fog lifts, he sees the Cracker Barrel on the top of the hill off the New Jersey Turnpike Trenton exit, and he proclaims, “When there is no Craker Barrel, there is no hope.”
Every time I think of Tupperware I think of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=85T2...
I was not saying I wouldn't. I think the birthday cake idea is great! I was just saying that we might also want to consider those without kitchens who need food items that can be heated on an electric cooktop if they have one, or that doesn't require refrigeration.
Agreed. Great idea. But there are some people who go to food banks who are living in motels or renting rooms without kitchens.
What he has done is pushed India into closer ties with China. www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/c...
He fails to understand that he is not the emperor of the world.
Not only an addict but a dealer who convicted others, including family members, his younger brother for instance, to do drugs.
And those on the spectrum but highly intelligent and functional were deemed to be nerds, creeps, anti-social and bullied and ostracized.
Some with less severe forms were diagnosed as being incorrigible or delinquents and corporal punishment was the "cure".
There was a time when a kid with the most severe forms of Autism were diagnosed as "retarded" or at one time, even possessed.
Other potential factors include demographic changes, such as increased diversity in the population, and improvements in survival rates for premature infants.
Changes in diagnostic criteria have broadened the definition of ASD, encompassing a wider range of individuals. Improved access to healthcare and educational services for children with ASD has made it easier for them to receive support and be diagnosed.
No. Autism rates have increased mostly because of: Increased awareness among healthcare professionals and the public has led to earlier identification and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Before 1938, her mom worked at the same department store 6 days a week, 10 hours a day for .25 cents an hour and no OT. Coming in early or staying late to tidy up the store was required and off the clock and not paid.
OT was required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, for more than 44 hours, but employers often found ways around of not paying by making deductions from pay for not meeting sales quotas, taking more than 1 bathroom break, cash register shortages levied against the entire dept.
I remember my mother telling me she worked FT at a department store before she met my dad. 8+ hours a day M-F, and 4+ hours on Saturday at .50 cents per hour, unpaid breaks if she even got any, no benefits, no paid time off of any kind.
Grifters. All of the MAGA's, new and old, are grifters to one degree or another.
"I do know that no one in South Dakota would be alive today if had not shot that puppy in the face. The old goat too.”
When confronted his defense was “they don’t really let you see anything unless you have a credit card number”.
Sometime in the early 2000’s, my niece and her husband discovered their son (11 years old) who was only supposed to be using the home computer for homework/school projects, based on the browser history was looking up porn sites. He looked up Girls Gone Wild many times.
Me to my boss: I badly sprained my wrist and possibly broke my arm and can't come into work. Here's a picture of me leaving the ER. Boss: you wrapped your arm in Charmin 3 ply toilet paper and are using a tee shirt for a sling. Me: OK. I'm on my way to the office.
That would have been hilarious though. 🤣
"I Believe in Science". No Jane. You do not believe in science.
2010 – teaching nutrition and serving healthy food in schools is woke and Communist, atheist and gay and what Satan wants 2025 – teaching nutrition and serving healthy food in schools is MAHA/MAGA, patriotic, Godly, anti-woke and what White Jesus wants
The only possibly good thing that could come from that is that Vance has better interior decorating tastes.
Movies like The Terminator and The Matrix, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, etc., were extremely popular and movies that many people freely quote but most seem to have missed the message.
I was wondering about this when I heard of the loan thinking that a 900+ year old embroidered on linin and a piece and of such great importance would be perhaps too fragile to move.

On a rating of "is this real or is this a scammer" with 1 being real and 10 being a scammer, I rate this at 11.
They are also the same people outraged over Aunt Jemima ditching their original packaging.
Trump: I don’t care! I want limestone pavers!!! Contractor: We submitted the invoice months ago and haven’t been paid. Trump: I’m not paying. They were too expensive and haven’t held up. This is what happens with nearly every contractor he's ever hired.
Here’s how it went down: Trump: I want to pave the Rose Garden over with limestone pavers. Contractor: I’ll give you a quote, but I must warn you they are expensive and probably not as durable as you want or need in this type of application.
Also look up Eliza Cooney. So much for a “spiritual enlightenment”.
Then there is the matter of his 1st wife Mary. It has been claimed that RFK Jr was a serial philanderer who flaunted his affairs to his then wife, exasperating her own mental health and substance abuse problems, leading to her suicide.
But not before as his cousin Caroline claimed, he encouraged and led other family members to use and down a dark path of drug addiction resulting in the death of his younger brother David.
To be fair he did say that his addition was harmful and eventually sought treatment and a “spiritual enlightenment” after his 1983 arrest for possession.
Keep in mind that this the man who claimed that using heroin improved his grades in college.
Dogma anyone? OK it was 25 years ago. Christ I feel old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwSR...
That's what I remember. IIRC it was banned in various places, picketed in others and some cinemas refused to show it.
OMG. How did I never see this before. 🤣
Saturday: My Door Dash driver and I are now engaged. In case you are interested, we are registered for wedding gifts at Whole Foods.
Remembers that consuming ice cream or any dairy product in the evening causes me to vomit. Looks at the sell by date on the large package of chicken thighs I just bought and realize I must cook them by tomorrow.
Friday: Decides I’m sick of chicken and fry some ground beef into a bun-less hamburger but I burn it and it sets off the smoke alarm. Orders a Big Mac and fries and a milkshake from Door Dash.
Thursday: Goes grocery shopping and buys a large package of chicken thighs and some ground beef and other ingredients to make homemade lasagna. Gets home too late to cook so orders Raman Noodles from Door Dash.
Wednesday: Does not go to the grocery store and eats the other half of the meatball sub and the leftover Spring Roll from Saturday. Spends the rest of the night vomiting.
Tuesday night: Google more recipes for chicken thighs and the benefits of home cooking verses eating ultra processed foods while making my grocery shopping list for healthy whole foods while eating a meatball sub and a bag of Cheetos I bought at Sheetz on my way home from work.
Puts the chicken thighs in a double grocery bag and takes it to the dumpster. Eats leftover pizza for breakfast.
Tuesday morning: Open the fridge, and it smells “funny”. I consider that the chicken thighs might still be OK but that I have a strong stomach and what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. Googles the effects of food poisoning.
Sunday: I remember I have leftover Kung Pao chicken and eat that. Monday. I leave the chicken thighs in the fridge while Googling recipes for chicken thighs and what the sell by date really means while waiting for a Door Dash pizza delivery.
Saturday: Chicken thighs are still not at all smelly or slimy so probably still OK. Right? But I order Kung Pao Chicken and Spring Rolls from Door Dash instead.
Friday: I pulled out the pack of chicken thighs I bought a few days ago with a sell by date of today. Not at all smelly, and not at all not slimy, so probably OK for today if not tomorrow. But I’m too lazy to cook today and so I instead make a box of Mac & Cheese and some microwave popcorn.

When he does finally kick the bucket, it won't be Swan Lake broadcast on all TV's in American but a Kid Rock concert.
Here are the advisors who helped Melania in those discussions.
"Hey! You girl in the short white shorts! Wannna wash my balls?"
There's a song to go along with that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4jU...
I really want Paul Rudd to write, produce, direct and star in the Gregg Abbot biographical movie. He already has the clips. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRx-...
Sorry but you didn't stock my go to, the only carbonated drink I drink (mostly), limited to no more than a half glass a day after before bedtime because it is both refreshing and helps settle my stomach.
So disappointing. This was the most pivotal event in not only English history but European history and beyond. It would still make for a great and compelling movie or series if told and portrayed and costumed even "mostly" accurately.
And this one too :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TmH...

"I filed for divorce on biblical grounds ... I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation... But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage."
I'm sure he's the perfect on to teach today's youth about morals and the sanctity of marriage. Or maybe they should invite his soon to be ex-wife.
Hey Joni. I guess it's true that we all have to die sometime.
These ICE "agents" should study some history and learn that "I was just following orders" will not be a defense.
She wrote “a black police officer” but in her head she was thinking
If I am not mistaken, part of the deal of landing the cover and a photo shoot was to give an interview. Melanoma wanted the cover and the photo shoot but did not want to be interviewed. I mean why should she when she didn't have to be interviewed for these:
While I think some look amazing, I'm personally not into tattoos for myself. It might have been during COVID lockdown; I binge watched a show called Tattoo Nightmares. I was very scripted but interesting to see how a really bad tattoo could be fixed.
“” We” are starting to trial”? Who is “We”? I hope this doesn’t mean mum is pouring breast milk in her child’s feeding tube on the sly without the doctors’ knowledge. And I truly hope no one suggests aged urine mixed with Mountain Dew and Ivermectin.

As much as I’d like it to be true, his absence and Pentagon Pizza Index it could mean we are about to invade Venezuela, and or Iceland, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Seattle or that Melanie is having “kidney surgery” again. I mean she must look good for the “I hate ze fooking Chrizmoose” pictures.
In Finland the nights are long and very cold.
My father had a cousin back in Norway who was very into genealogy and put together a well-researched and detailed family tree, who told him and sent my dad a picture of his sister. www.history.com/articles/191...
My father didn’t even know he had had a sister until he was in his late 50’s. No one ever talked about her.
I had never heard of it until the late 1990’s when I watched a documentary about it, even though I later learned some relatives on both sides of my family died, including my father’s older sister.
After the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, the so called “Spanish Flu”, people didn’t want to talk about it, and it turned into a collective amnesia.
This song from the 80's by the much-underappreciated band, The Hooters comes to mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVXj...
Re-Naming the Holocaust Museum after Stella Goldschlag? Putting Richard Nixon on Mount Rushmore?
I never imagined that I might want to demonstrate at a military funeral like those inbred Westboro creeps, but I might make an exception for this one. What's next? Renaming the Washington Monument after Benedict Arnold? Re-naming the FBI Headquarters after Robert Philip Hanssen?
I love you for this!
