Retired old lady who loves cats and enjoys history, politics (at least I used to), birds, and living in the DMV. Don't ask me about the state of customer service these days because I'm trying to remain calm.

I think he wanted to be popular with the Romans

At least the internet is forever. Much like a Nazi tattoo.

I noticed the other day the first two episodes of a series were ad-free, but once you opted into episode three the ads began.

Thank your wife for me. We needed a break.

Thank you. I remember the Republican purists who warned in 1980 about the GOP's embrace of the evangelical crowd. They were told they didn't understand what was needed to win.

Same. I hear talk of left, right, or centrist, and all I want is one example so I can try to orient myself.

I never heard this story. I was taught that when the Christian Romans showed up, they told the pagans they could convert, or go stand by that big trench they just dug . . ..

Did Lincoln even have indoor plumbing? (serious question)

I'll be very interested to see if any higher percentage of those rejected by this new expanded SAVE system are older/elderly. SAVE derives its naturalization data from other USCIS systems which are NOT complete for anything prior to 1975. It has always been a problem in the SAVE program.

There's a fast food kind, but the original is what I ate as a kid at the diner. They came out of the oven rather square and puffy. Often they'd put gravy on top, otherwise a little butter. Yum.

They should carve the giant bust from wood. It will make a lovely bonfire.

I just did 17 radio phone interviews to promote my new tour. Please, for the love of God go to kathygriffin.com and get tickets. It’s different material from my current YouTube special which is called “Kathy Griffin my life on the PTSD list”. The tour is called “new face new tour”. Do you love it?

Also how easily a TV persona can fool us

OMG I saw Muddy Waters in concert in Omaha, maybe in the late 1970's? He was amazing.

I saw one that said, very quickly, "if you stop breathing, call your doctor."

You tempt me. But I was so upset for so long after that story with the people trapped in the grocery store I just don't think I can do it,.

Marian @marianisretirednow.bsky.social · 9d

Isn't that what pissed them off in the first place?

Marian @marianisretirednow.bsky.social · 10d

He who pays the piper calls the tune. I keep repeating myself on this point.

Marian @marianisretirednow.bsky.social · 10d

I'm not talking about an attack. I'm talking about a long-term denial of food and water. No one in, no one out. It is a very old-fashioned thing but I'm just trying to think of a solution.
