re: Family Vacation Suggestions

Agree with Chicago. Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Savannah, GA/Hilton Head Island, SC Sedona, AZ New England is gorgeous in the summer. Love the CT & RI coast. Boston is a great visit, too. If you get on passports now, a cruise would be ideal for your family. Perfect for your girls’ age ...
RFK is their only play since he is already on the ballot. That being said, he’s running as an independent for a reason Also, black women will stay home if they pass over Kamala for RFK, Jr or Newsome. The party will eat itself alive if they dump Biden for another straight white man....
1- I loved this show in spite of it. It’s worth a watch. 2- The race swapping took me out every single time it showed up. Every. Single. Time. The showrunners also missed an opportunity to portray the actual racism against Chechens, Balkans, Tartars, and ethnic Asians. I’m amazed the Socialis...

Amazed so little Beauty & the Beast on here. Belle, Be Our Guest, Gaston, & the title song are all gangbusters. Friend Like Me, Prince Ali & A Whole New World from Aladdin. If we throw in Pixar, When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 is just heartbreaking. So is Remember Me from Coco. I’m not a...
Any cruise leaving and returning to the US requires a birth certificate and ID at the minimum. This is called a “closed loop circuit” within the Western Hemisphere, so there are a couple of proofs of citizenship that meet the requirement. I always bring my passport. It just makes life easier. ...

I love my stuff from Eagle Creek, but they’re pricey. Very well made. Similar to Ohio. You can probably find a decent bag at Marshall’s or Ross. Sometimes, they sneak some good stuff in there....

re: Augusta, GA

You can drive all around Augusta National. You won’t be able to see a thing. It’s completely walled off. Aiken, SC is home to thoroughbred horse breeders. You might check the calendar to see if there are events going on at that time. You can drive through the town and go right past the horse ranc...
The Lakota were horribly vicious and had no qualms displacing other tribes. They kicked the Cheyenne and the Kiowa out of the Black Hills sometime in the mid to late 1700s. They were on that land barely 100 years before the US government pushed them out....

re: Wimbledon

Posted by bluestem75 on 5/11/24 at 11:50 am
Toured it in spring on my only trip to England. Wimbledon is a beautiful village which makes the walk from the rail worth it. Grounds are much smaller than I anticipated. Impeccably maintained. Court 1 has amazing sight lines because it’s totally round. Definitely check out a women’s match before...
Talk about lawsuits. Even the filing date for independents has passed in NY, AL, NC, TX. That’s a lot of EVs. The Trump campaign will be dropping lawsuits in all 50 states if the Dems try to undo their primary results. Biden is literally going to have to die or be incapacitated for a switch t...

What’s your budget?...
I agree Johnson has been a disappointment, but also agree that they need to look at the optics. The damage for this session has been done. They need to bide their time and help Republicans flip seats to increase their majority. Then, they can remove Johnson. Honestly, we need to vote them all out...
