Not one single person stated that they were a scholar. Not one. I'm afraid I was the person who started what you call a tangent. I was just giving Pepper a bit of a pep talk. Hoping to maybe help with what she was facing today. So I reminded her that she was a an Oxford scholar, something...

Yep! Here's some famous Rhodes Scholars: Edwin Hubble Dean Rusk Lord Howard Florey James William Fulbright Bill Bradley Bill Clinton Strobe Talbott George Stephanopoulos Kris Kristofferson Pepper Naomi Wolf Cory A. Booker Randal Pinkett Pete Buttigieg Ronan Farrow

Me too, Hearlady! I'm not sure in Pepper's case, but often when an American goes to Oxford it means they went with a Rhodes Scholarship: AI says: Being a Rhodes Scholar means you are one of the world's most outstanding young leaders, selected for a fully-funded postgraduate study program at...

I'm up and ready to go with you spiritually in you great escape, Pepper. Be strong, be calm, suffer no fools. Remember you are an Oxford scholar!

I've been watching the congressional hearings with all the young women senators shouting over each other and they scare me more than the men. As far as I know none of the men shot their dog for not paying attention.

LOL I love that china! I've seen enough of your beautiful house, Holly, to know you don't need any help decorating!

I agree with all you've said, Terry. I keep my small sentimental knickknacks in my book shelves in the small room I use for crafts and puzzles. The living room has the big knickknacks that you and I like. In my case they are large heavy crystal pieces that, I think, add some yin to the yang of...

My mother sang "Mares Eat Oats" around the house, but her bedtime song was, "Lullaby and Goodnight." My son would have me read a story and then sing my entire repertoire every night: Red River Valley Ukulele Lady Jug Band Music

Be kind. Pick up after yourself.

I don't think it's always necessary for the addict to want help. The hard core addicts on those city streets are either in a deep trance or desperate for the next fix. They aren't capable of wanting help in either of those conditions. Taking them to a lockdown center until they are dried out...

Most of them have only harmed themselves. Some were started on drugs when they were in their early teens. I think if we can spend millions of dollars killing a leader of a country on the other side of the world, we should be willing to spend the same amount saving our own citizens.

I hope they don't feel bad or regretful. What were they supposed to tell the police. "There's someone at this party making us feel uncomfortable?" The police need much more than that to take someone in and if they have reason enough to take them to the hospital they can not be committed...

I decided I needed a perm during the 1980's Big Hair phase so I told my husband I could either get it done at a salon for $60 or he could do it for me with a $5 home perm. I've always known his weak spot. So we set up in the kitchen with the rods, the end-papers, and a beer and after fumbling...

I only have 13. I just wondered why I had ESPN and then remembered I enter their NCAA Brackets contest every year. Many of them don't really want me. :cry: I just got through trying to sign up for Apple TV so I could watch Pluribus and they said, 'Your account is locked." I don't remember...

Why have I been following the Iran thread when the important stuff is right here?! We used to buy Kroger peanut butter until one time my son and I were trying to give up sugar so we switched to Jiff, 3 grams of sugar instead of Kroger's 4. We tried the sugar free brands and, honestly, we just...
