@BeckyWerner719 Maybe in seven years we can remedy a good part of the problem: take over Republican state legislatures! That will stop the gerrymandering that has resulted in minority rule.
@TheresaVermont Yeah, the Vermont Charlotte is pronounced differently. I also have a Michigan connection - both my parents went to the U. of M.Nice to meet you!
@Novels56 Did you ever notice the prevalence of the hard c, k, and/or hard g in a male movie star’s name. Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Kirk Douglas. I could go on and on. Coincidence?
@TheresaVermont Just wanted to say Hi to a fellow Vermonter! I live in North Carolina now but consider Vermont, where I went to high school, college, and med school my home state. Go Catamounts!
@Novels56 Marlon Brando, Gary Cooper, Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne
@danielbsmith Bummer! Never got Covid, thank heavens, but have a history of kidney stones - bad news! Good that you’re back at it again. Keep on truckin’!
@JoyfullyDazed Thanks, Lisa - fellow writer! The title is The Girl From Belgrade and is on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Belgrade-John-L-DeBoer-ebook/dp/B0BFMMFK19
Anyone know of book reviewers who like thrillers? I need reviews for my latest novel!
@FernLovebond Hell, to be honest, I don’t know if I’m using the app or the browser, but I get columns - Notifications, My Friends, and Firehose. That’s enough for me at present. Thanks for your help!
@FernLovebond Thanks, Fern! But I have the app on my iPad, so everything seems to be working.
@joem2go Oops. I meant, of course, “Ellen Ripley.” Sorry ‘bout that.
@joem2go “Don’t cry for me, Ellen Ridley . . .”
@joem2go Aliens the musical. Is this for real? I can’t imagine it.
@danielbsmith So instead of five justices deciding the laws of the country, you’d have even less? And how many would be included in the random selection out of nine? Seven, five, three? Assuming the selection would really be random (and how would that be done?), depending on how many would constitute the panel, with the current makeup of the Court - six conservatives, three liberals - an even more skewed panel could mathematically be selected.
@mightymite Getting there.
@dauphin87 Hope it’s not a chigger. Those hang around awhile!
@mightymite I’m on my iPad.
