I just took a look at latest Castanet Poll, only 1 choice plus it doesn’t say what that choice actually is... weird.

Would be interesting to see a list of who has been banned and the reasons why. :130:
Sheesh, Castanet has low standards as it is. I think you require an IQ of at least 37, so that guy must have Room Temperature IQ. C, not F.

They aren't out yet. Probably after his coronation. May?

You might want to try ‘re-enacting’ the scene. Pretend you just got into house with purchases, take off coat….go from there.

It sometimes works for me unless I’ve outsmarted myself beforehand
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I had an email from a woman, in her 30s, maybe early 40s.
She signed off with She/Her.

What does that mean?
Is she just confirming that she's a female, or does one acknowledge her with one of those pronouns?
Did any of you receive the memo?

Here is idea:
Save those amazon boxes and reuse them, place junk you want to get rid of into the box and place it at front door.
Sure enough someone will probably steal it. :biggrin:

Junk is gone

Oh well, I guess go back to the exploding box of glitter. As thieves reward for stealing.
