  • But that's not what he did. He only joked about it.

    Editing to add: I could be wrong, maybe you can find something about a specific invitation for them to visit the White House.

  • Yes as your links confirm, he invited them TO THE STATE OF THE UNION which is a speech given in the Capitol to Congress and assorted others. Such a situation would put them in audience positions, while he'll be on the podium blarghblarghblarghing.

    I don't see anything about an invitation to meet personally in the White House, which could possibly give them an opportunity to shut out Security and beat some sense into him with assorted tacky gold tchotchkes.

  • At what point did welders start to wear something that protected their whole face rather than just their eyes? And is there a reason not to wear gloves? (Looks like the men are similarly unprotected)

  • He's got babies and a wife to feed! Should I call YOU greedy for bringing home the bacon?

  • The Republican mantra: "I got mine, fuck you."

  • Potus is too weak to be a pussy.

  • Attending the SOTU address would not have given them (or him) that opportunity. He didn't invite them to the White House. Probably because he's afraid to be alone with them.

  • Arizona is not on the West Coast

  • Mobsters indeed. I wonder, if the Mexican army swooped in and killed the head of the MAGA cartel, would we see the kind of violence in our streets as Mexico is having now? I mean, they're certainly well-armed enough but they are also lazy Americans. They'd be like, "can I go down to Home Depot and hire some Mexicans to do it for me?"

    (Which tbf is pretty much what I'm doing now with this speculation)

  • Oh! Are you one of the places that they get owl pellets for school students to dissect?

  • My weather is the same but I live on the first floor on a very busy Los Angeles street, so opening the windows lets in too much unfiltered grit and smog. I do step out onto the balcony daily to care for my plants and feed the birds, so some air gets in then.

  • Love the energy!

    It looks like a fresh pineapple tastes

  • Meryl Streep movie, she could save only one child from the Nazis (or they'd have killed both, the cruelty was the point) and the guilt and trauma stays with her throughout her life.

    I was implying that if your mom had to give up one twin for adoption it might still be a painful thing she doesn't want to talk about.

  • I'm loving "dow" but as a retired schoolmarm I'm obligated to tell you we spell it "dough"

    And we'd probably call it a "damp" cloth, saving "humid" to describe moist air.

    It's completely readable as is, though.

  • My solution? Oh I'm not saying the women should have stayed in Instagram! It's one reason I never joined in the first place. If anything I was wondering if women created a No Boys Allowed WomenSpace totally separate. And still I think it would be brigaded.

    I think we agree on the basic evil of societal misogyny. Although as an old woman who has lived through changes, I have seen that having more women in a workplace or field, especially as we start to fill the upper echelons, can help fade certain parts of the misogyny or at least drive it underground.

  • Your mom said the doctor told her the ultrasound showed "two babies" but I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and they looked at the tiny embryonic speck and said, "there's the baby!" In fact no babies are shown in ultrasounds, only fetuses. But my point was, they may have seen one 7-month fetus and one little shriveled thing and said "there's two babies."

    I guess it's also possible she brought two babies to term, made a "Sophie's Choice" to give one up for adoption, and didn't want you to be heartbroken or afraid of being given away too. And since other people had heard about her being pregnant with twins, she gave you a story you could accept as a child.

    And another possibility is that the doctor gave her anesthesia or rohypnol or something and took the twin to put up for adoption, telling her it was absorbed. She'd know she had given birth but not remember it was twice. It's terrible but not unheard of.

    You could ask her, if you feel you're both adult enough now to handle the emotional implications of all the possible explanations. Remember that you can still trust her love no matter what, but she might not know the whole truth and/or might be ashamed to admit it.

  • I hope you've started scanning the dark periphery like we do. Not because you deserved anything that happened to you! And I'm not assuming you weren't already. But because I can't do anything to protect you from over here on the Internet and I don't want that to happen to you anymore. It's when we're near home that we tend to let our guard down.

  • "Quick! Book us some college and girl's teams, we'll put on a clinic!"

    (That would actually be a really nice thing)
