What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Always be comfortable in your own skin.

You have no idea how much trouble you'll get into if you try wearing someone elses.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

That's very wise....very, very wise. More useful to me a few years ago, but very wise.

Based on the endless stream of them on at my mum's, Hallmark movies consist of women only being able to find love by giving up on their dreams.

Ah, hyper-realistic then, are they?

Why isn't Puerto Rico a state yet?
If I'm not mistaken, every so often the people get to vote for either independence, statehood, or keeping things as they are, and that's what they've voted for.

Actually, the last time the held the referendum in 2020 they narrowly voted for statehood. But Congress decides if a new state gets admitted. Republicans believe PR will vote Democratic so they'll never allow it (unless PR suddenly shifts red, then the Democrats would never allow it.)
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Be hilarious if Texans fell on their swords to keep the Senate red and exercised that option to divide into multiple states. I think Cromwell will be ice skating before that ever comes about though.

In times of stress I used to recite this Yeats poem in my head:

He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Someone is doing a gofundme to get a proper grave for Helen Chandler from Dracula (1931) https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-niche-for-helen-chandler-at-hollywood-forever?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

Her ashes are now in some storage vault thingy


They are more than halfway to their goal. One guy gave $1,000 !

I was thinking,( believe it or not,) of when I lived in the Bronx, and my Gramma Morris and Aunt Carol (who was a spinster) were the only white people I knew. I never got in a fight. Everybody liked me. I bought weed from Ray in front of a boarded up laundrymat. The place looked like a warzone.
Poe Park was cool!
