I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking add 6. That gives 1 for each district, the chief can focus on being chief (ha, but yeah maybe one day we'll have one who would), plus an 'at large' justice, kind of a floater/

and anyone who's ever written fiction too! in at least one project, every writer has had a minor character just take over, the others are more than cool with it, and you as the nominal creator of this thing find you are just watching what happens and documenting. :D

of course he would. Someone was saying last night SCOTUS had made themselves kings, but I said no for this very reason. They've made themselves slaves to any homicidal POTUS, but especially him. One toe out of line from now on, & if he's in a position to eliminate them, he'd do it.

I didn't even get the rotary question! :( It got me fairly close though a little too far south. Might be because I call crayfish crawfish, since I was first introduced to them in Lousiana? lol

I think it was 2020 when the weather turned bad at one of his rallies, the buses to take people back to their cars weren't running, & hundreds of people were dragging their little kids & elderly on mile-long slogs thru mud? he was asked about it and IIRC he practically giggled with glee. Sadist.

what's so bad about this is, on some levels, it's true that he seems to enjoy suffering, especially when it's suffering his minions are putting themselves and their loved ones thru for him.

pretty much the same here in TN! 8:41 am, overcast and breezy if you look out from indoors, but it's 83f & feels like 90. I just went out to water my tomatoes etc and the air was so thick I had to do the breaststroke to walk around my yard. 0_0

that makes sense, because I don't care for it with anything but Canadian bacon, and I concluded it was indeed something about the balance between the fat and the sweet.

How did the pollster define 'democracy' to their subjects? how about 'threats' to same, or what should be done about those? All this phrasing does is fall right into the cracks in the public opinion divide--everyone asked answers based only on their own view, not on anything objective. Badly done.

that's what I was just thinking--I know little if anything about military history, but a friend recommended this thread, & as I was reading just now I kept thinking 'man, that guy has a Thing for 'Western good, everything else bad'".

I've seen a couple of posts this evening that the exact wording required by this Louisiana law is that version you mention here--it's not even from any specific translation of the Bible! not sure if that's accurate, haven't had a chance to compare them myself, but, wow.

I just went googling and found this article about them--www.thedailybeast.com/the-biblical-laws-bleeding-your-schools Very interesting. Do you know if anyone has posted comparing this version to the LA one, to confirm the 2 are identical?

Honestly, that makes total sense to me (and I'm Christian). Somebody on the bird site already posted a list of 6 foundational rules from Buddhism they would put up next to the tablets; so, yeah, a collection of rules from a variety of paths would be super interesting to compare/contrast.

Mine kept shooing me OUT of my room to quit reading and go play :D which only resulted in things like me hanging by my knees from the swing set to see if you could read upside down. (and almost breaking my glasses when they fell off, ofc. lol)

my mom could take ONE company's generic version of her anti-anxiety med, for this very reason. Her pharmacist theorized another brand she tried that didn't work for her might have been down to, of all things, the particular coloring they used in its manufacture. 0_0

oh I'm serious about it. Especially since I found out a couple of yrs ago that somehow despite 26 yrs working in healthcare I've never been exposed to this 1 common virus, & that means I'm one of the few people whose blood can be given to newborns who need transfusions! <3

The first time I went to give blood back in college, the Red Cross lady took one look at my arm & grabbed it & went 'let's see if that vein is as good as it looks' (it was!) I thought omg the vampires have got me. LOL. I also have a rare-ish blood type & no fear of needles, so they love me. :D
