So poor Banjo is having trouble trouble adjusting to my bizarre sleep schedule an woke me up super early today. I totally plan on going back to sleep ASAP but first I went to Twitter. And you, know watch porn. Okay it is not EXACTLY porn it is a show by the Call Me By Your Name dude and there is a ton off odd sex. So I was chatting with a few of my tweeps who apparently have jobs and shit to get to. And I was telling one of my friends about the show and mentioned the Call Me By Your Name movie and he had never seen nor heard of it. So I rightly, I might add, said I was coming for his gay card. And then I implored him “as and old school fag hag” to find the movie and watch it.
It’s not just a great gay love story movie. It’s just a really great movie. Anyway, I am on a Twitter 12 hour time out. Because I said fag. And it is funny because I was just chatting with Nanette about how Twitter randomly shut you down for the use of certain words and I had just said a few hours earlier… JUST GIVE ME THE LIST OF WORDS TWITTER WILL BAN YOU FOR. Because they have no idea of context. I’ve been a fag hag all my life. Now I guess fruit fly is somehow better? I can’t wait for Trump to have to live under these obscure rules. No one wants hate speech. But come on this is ridiculous. i don’t think fag should be filtered at all. Even when it is hate speech. It let’s us know who to unfollow. And I was having the best time with my gay friends getting ready to go to work.
I shall now go back to watching”porn” on HBO in the series We Are Who We Are which is really just a series with you know, interspersed porn of a variety of natures.
And also why is this a 12 hour thing. I feel like I a was on a much longer on for another word. Please. Back to bed and “porn” . This fag hag says you need to watch We Are Who We Are on HBO… the first episode or two is weird and hard to watch… but stick with it… it’s addictive.
Call Me by Your Name is a fabulous film! About “fag,” Words with Friends won’t allow it, even though it means “cigarette” in the UK.
I was a sleep but woke up worried. Did I pay my property taxes ? Is it even time to do that? And why do i owe anything Where you can TAKE MY HOME AWAY if I don’t pay you.?I paid cash for my house. TO NOT OW ANYONE ANYthing AND STOP THE STRESS.
It might be 3 years of non-payment on property taxes before the ‘ment can take possession of your house. I don’t know the laws of your county or state.
Besides you would get a LOT of notices before they came in.
Get some sleep!
I just paid my city taxes last week and yesterday just got the county tax bill. Both are typically due by the end of Dec. or first week of Jan. I live in TN
OH FUCK. I THINK I FORGOT TO PAY MY PROPERTY TAXES.
Same I will pay them tomorrow apparently they were due on Oct 15. They send a NOT A BILL in like Jure or something with the estimation and then nothing and you just have to remember to pay in October. They tell you not to pay yet, then you never get a bill.
Mine were due October 30 (always the last day of October, unless that day is on a weekend). Ours are always end of April and end of October.
Now I’m stressed I forgot some other shit. Glad you mentioned this!!!
I DID.
I don’t think I’m getting a penalty though. May need to see what other bills I’ve fucked up on tomorrow.
I got a 12 hour timeout for jokingly calling my dog stubborn bitch whore in a thread a few months ago. Twitter doesn’t give a fuck about context.
lol it’s getting crazy. I was banned for a week before. Now it seems it is a 12 hour thing.
To be fair, with the Cheetolini and minions on Twitter? Those Twitter people must be EXHAUSTED and have no time for nuances.
I don’t understand when opinions became such personal affronts but on Twitter you must assimilate. No room for a different thought or idea.
I am guilty. I haven’t seen it. That main young actor I find grating. I’m not the best with movies about gay men because I’ve yet to see a movie besides brokeback mountain that makes u feel how coming out really feels. Idk what it is about this one. I might give it a chance, but the you g guy was in a movie called A Beautiful Boy that I was forced to see and was horrrrrible!
Twitter, I see as a dumpster fire that’s fueled by people one-upping each other with shock value. I hope it explodes one day. It’s too bad the good has to suffer because of the horrible.
Twitter has some twisted rules. They suspended my account for 8 hours when I asked if it was wrong for me to hope that Trump stroked out on TV while he was speaking at one of his rallies. As far as your property taxes, in Nevada they’re due in August, October, January & March and I think that’s the same in most states, so you may want to check to be sure you paid yours in October. They’ll usually place a lien on a property for unpaid taxes so if you ever sell they’ll get their money off the top. Now get back to your porn.
Has anyone heard from Cheryl lately? I know she wasn’t feeling well a week or two ago and I don’t recall seeing any comments from her recently.
I hope she is ok ! I haven’t seen any posts from her in weeks !
I’ve searched for We Are Who We Are on HBO and can’t find it. Is it on HBO Go?
Hope you get some sleep! And I’ve been a fag hag for years lol

I don’t really know why you are so surprised. Freedom of Speech is dead. It has been for a few years now.
Bwahahaha! The Tweetwerps were listening to us!
Diljoes! (What an old boyfriend purposely call people but it meant idiots, aka tools, aka dildoes.) I guess Brits can’t call ciggies “fags” anymore. Even though that term was used before it was used as the gay term.
I really, really, really, really want Twitter to PERMANENTLY shut down Trump’s account on Jan. 21. It would be the equivalent of confiscating an 8th-grade girl’s cell phone —THE END IF THE WORLD!
Open forum: I just checked my email messages and I my phone interview for Mickaboo Bird Rescue has been approved! The next step is a virtual phone visit.
They ONLY CARE about the environment where the bird will be kept. They check the cage and type of food dishes, the placement of the cage — adequate, but not dangerous amount of sunlight, the possibility of drafts, etc. (I only need to show my bedroom! The kick in my ass to get it organized!)
There are two birds I really like. One, a female Indian Ringneck, has been “adoptable” for a while. (There is another, part of my Plan B, a young female IRN, that I sense is a male — it’s happened on Mickaboo before.) The other, a really special Sun Conure, may go fast. I think the female IRN hasn’t been adopted because either she doesn’t talk (English) or because people THINK females do not talk as much as males. WRONG! So their mistake is my gain. I love when they talk, but that is not a priority for me. Plus, they can start talking at anytime in their life. I would more love the “I told you so,” than her actually learning to speak. Because I am an asshole like that AND I could provide an update that might help other birds get rescued. So … we shall see.
Good for you! I’m a sucker for rescue animals.
That’s exciting. Good luck! I’ve done home visits for dog rescues…the rescues really just want to know that you will provide a safe environment (if something looks unsafe, they’ll just ask you to address it before the pet comes home), be engaged with the pet “I love to practice talking with birds. It’s so exciting when it finally clicks!” is probably the bird version, and that you will recognize health concerns and get proper medical care (know that birds go to a bird experienced vet, probably).
The weirdest things I’ve ever heard/read from other humans were on adoption applications. I seriously think those applications should be used for psychological assessments because people reveal things that shock me (assuming they’re trying to present as a good owner).
Congratulations! I have had the worst day ever & this news made my hear soar ! So happy for you. That’s one lucky birdie ! Is there such a thing as a bird baby shower ? I will bring the baloons bird seed themed favors desserts & confetti !!!! Yay you Nanette !!!
so sorry for your bad day. You should be getting a card from very soon. Might even be in your box today.
Thanks friend. I am stalking the mailman! Thanks in advance sweet lady. Hug Banjo
xo Marc
Thank you Marc. I hope you feel better soon. I went to sleep OK, woke up with the dark cloud. I am fighting it off with the good things. Trying.
I hope the little bird I’ve been STALKING is still available when I get approved. I think she is not taken because she doesn’t talk. Little do some people know they can start talking — or not, or stop — at any age. There are other ways to communicate.
Her handler’s T-shirt says, “Novice bird owners want a bird who speaks. Experienced bird owners want a good set of ear plugs.”
Keep me posted ! I hope you get your hearts desire ! If I don’t see you around here have a wonderful & Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours.
xo Marc
Look here friend of Dorothy, there*s no place like home. Twitterverse must have a lot in common with Oz. An old hag says one questionable word and is banished to the time out chair yet the powers that be let flying monkeys shoot straight out DT’s mouth and ass simultaneously. A gentleman would know that it’s time to leave and concede the seat. Back to the group W bench for now love, little big t.
Audacious to call veterans losers,so many lives laid upon the altar of our country Grossly indifferent and unable to comprehend the cost of freedom. Unable to accept his own defeat this president will be the Biggest Loser of all time. Suck it!
I’ve been called a Fairy Godmother by the guys at Faces for years…. I will miss that, I leave for Cumming Thursday morning!!
I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t know, but I have forever insomnia so I’ve seen a bunch of experts and I have to be really regimented about my sleep hygiene. If I wake up late, I set alarms and force myself to wake up a half hour earlier than my”ideal” time the next day. If I happen to wake up super early, I get up and have to be a zombie all day. I was relieved to learn that waking up with anxiety it a “normal” habit of people with insomnia.
Hi Bucky- a sister-in-misery here- I’ve been an insomniac since birth! I hope the regimentation works for you. Been there done that- nothing helped (for me, but we’re all different). I’m the hardest of the hardcore😀. Finally, at 62, I’m giving in to Le Pill. Hey- it works, at least sometimes….
It isn’t a cure, but it helps me. If I didn’t force myself into a schedule of going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning, I’d basically have two three hour long naps a day instead of one sleep. I tried tons of medication, but the side effects were always worse than the benefits for me. But, I guess those medications must work for most people. Hopefully they give you relief.
I’ve never seen Call Me By My Name but I’ll put in on my list of things to watch. I’ve been working ten hour days and like to have something on TV to make the day go by faster. My mom covered her hands in second degree burns so I am taking care of her and her dog as well. My days start at 5:00 am and end after I take care of my horse, usually 5:30-6:00 pm then I come home and make dinner. I am thoroughly exhausted lately.
Oh man … your poor mom (and you!). I think burns are the most painful injury.
I imagine brushing your horse is therapeutic for both of you. I hope someday soon up your days get back to normal so yiu can spend more time together.
Just now seeing this Jenn! So sorry that your mom burned her hands. That must be terrible. I didn’t know you had a horse. So cool. And the show on HBO is called We Are Who We Are… it’s a series. The first episode or two is kind of weird and then you get addicted to the story and the fact that everyone sleeps with everyone, sometimes in a group is just to be expected. lol.
Hand waves – Fag Hag here.
Lived with 2 drag queens while at NYU late 80’s.
I learned more about being a woman from those 2 men. Who knew mayonnaise was the best way to take off makeup & they called cigarettes – Fags.
Really miss a gay man in my life now, surrounded with lesbians and all they want to do is play golf.
Love my sister in laws, but I miss a shopping partner, snarky shit talker … a whole lot.
LuluC, your post brought back some long ago memories. While in grad school I did some participant observation research as a dues-paying member of a transvestite sorority. Boy, did I have to spiff up my wardrobe to fit in! Once went on a retreat in another state run by a modeling school that taught us all how to look & behave in a more feminine manner. I probably needed the most help, as the others had worked hard for years to perfect their makeup & attire. I remember complimenting on participant, saying how fortunate it was that she didn’t have to contend with the same beard problem as some of the others. Then she told me the regimen she performed so that her very heavy beard was transformed into a peaches & cream complexion. BTW, this warm & funny person was a former NFL player who worked as the stunt double for the biggest matinee idol of the day. Anthropologists are ethically bound to compensate their informants, so not only did I pay regular dues & expenses, but founded a scholarship in the name of the sorority at one of my alma maters. The school never knew that my sorority sisters not only sported beards in their everyday life, but most had active heterosexual relations with their wives. Long time ago, but great fun.
Call Me By Your Name is the homosexual equivalent of Gone with the Wind ! I love the book the film the soundtrack the cast the location the direction & script. No cliques no cliches no shame no death no fear just love. Its incredibly moving to watch two people meet ,fall in love ,accept each other & grow. Its exceptional in every way. I am a romantic sentimental old fool who loves to see other people succeed in life in love & in knowledge.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Now … I REALLY want to see it more than ever.
I need to watch when I can stay awake. I can’t sleep and I can’t stay awake. That horrid in between state.
All the reasons you like it are the reasons I can’t watch the MAFS and 90 Days shows. They are the exact opposite.
So it’s Tuesday night and it sucks for TV. Not sure who wins in a Suck Contest – Tues, Fri or Sat. I usually browse what I could be watching until I get bored with doing that, too. Tonight, Netflix started auto-play on a cute little series called Dash & Lily. I got pulled in by the first episode. Gads. I told myself it is too early for Christmas shows, but here I am watching a candycane sweet show about love in New York at Christmas. We will see if it sticks but I’m through the first ep and likely to start on the next.
I’m in a monster truck of a mood. Hoping Dems will be their higher selves and not gloat over their win, and that Republicans will be graceful in their concession, but it looks like I am going to be somewhat disappointed by both. Oh well. I don’t have to look. No one is forcing me to, and that’s what I tell friends on both sides when they come crying to me. I’ve noticed that they get so wound up in some spun reality they have fallen into on one of the media groups, and they have to be pulled back from the brink and reminded it’s not real. When will it end?Republicans could start right now by letting go of a massive mistake and starting to look for a real politician for next go around. Four years isn’t a long time. They are acting like it’s lost forever. It should be! How dare they think that an uneducated caricature of a buffoon can hold weight against esteemed education and experience in leadership? I mean we have scholars from Harvard, Yale, and other time honored institutions of higher learning and they must lower themselves to bow to Donald, Ivanka and Jared? Come again?
Also, I’m hearing that *cough* some cast members of a reality show are leaking about scripting and contrived scenarios *cough*. It not a surprise! It’s not! But I feel betrayed just the same.
Pppbbbbbbllllluuuuppppppp.
Dizzy- you’re my lost twin❣
I’m not on any social media but I wonder if they could censor you like that if it wasn’t free. Same with FB. If you had to pay to use it, I wonder if they’d still censor you….
I get they can do anything they want, just like I can here. But it would be nice to have a list of the words that trigger them. The constantly change the rules so you never know what you are not supposed to say.
Did anyone watch this is us? Can you help me out with facial recognition? Who is the woman in the picture at the Vietnamese people’s house.
I THINK MAYBE it is Randall’s mom. Remember that we saw last week how the one EMT just wouldn’t give up trying to revive her? The other one called it (death) and then she gasped.
We know from flashbacks that William dropped off baby Randall at the fire department and left town. He would not have known that Mom survived. Back in those days, she may have been jailed after her overdose. Or involuntarily placed in a “crazy ward” for a while.
Otherwise, I have NO IDEA who else she could be. If she is Randall’s mom, it appears she is dead now. So if he finds out, he will have to grieve that anew. Knowing she lived and no one knew until she was gone.
Thanks! I was totally confused with the Vietnamese Grandpa and baby girl. So that would mean that the cute little girl is somehow related to Randall…
Call Me By Your Name was a great movie in a year of great Oscar nominees (it was nominated), only to have the one I HATED win. James Ivory wrote a beautiful screenplay (of course!), and the cinematography and directing were delicious.
My ONLY criticism may be influenced by the fact that I used to teach high school and was a mandatory reporter. The casting. Timothee was playing a 17 year old and looked younger than that. Armie Hammer was playing a 24 year old but looked older than his actual 31 years. I wasn’t struggling with it being a gay love story with scenes… but with the fact that visually there was a large age difference and the younger man looked very much a minor that hadn’t completed puberty. Others haven’t felt that way, so again, it may be just a vestige of my mandatory reporter years where I did have two young students “dating” people older than me (that I reported).
If you are looking for other good movies from that year, depending on the type of movies you like, I recommend ALL of the other nominees except for the winner, Shape of Water. (again… HATED.)
They are:
Darkest Hour – if you are history buff, esp. Winston Churchill & WWII? Gary Oldman becomes Churchill.
Dunkirk – it was ok. I didn’t mind it even though I’m not a fan of war battle films. History buffs that remember specific battles, etc. would love it.
Get Out – I’m not a fan of horror at ALL, but forced myself to watch and will never regret it. SO well done.
Lady Bird – OMG, I loved this one. Kind of related to the mother/daughter struggles.
Phantom Thread – I loved this one so much I bought it when it came out. Weird, slightly creepy with a dash of historical period piece. Supposedly Daniel Day Lewis’s last role ever.
The Post – About the Watergate scandal from the Washington Post perspective, especially Katharine Graham, the first female publisher of a major American newspaper. Directed by Spielberg, with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. They are always great to watch.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – Trigger warnings, but oh my. They acted their ASSES off in this. Been a big Sam Rockwell fan since this film.
Any ONE of those could have won any other year. But so many good ones came out that year.
I still haven’t seen Lady Burd. It was filmed in Sacramento before I moved here. Extra incentive to watch it (free on Netflix).
And yet the shitty one won!!! It really was a good year for film. Might have to watch Phantom Thread this weekend.
I know people who loooooved Shape of Water. I guessed what would happen 15 minutes in. No way to do spoiler alerts here or I would.
Greta Gerwig is going to give us great movies, hopefully for a long, long time I think.
I forgot to mention that there is also an age inappropriate relationship on We Are Who We Are with two males. It sort of starts at the very end of the season though. And well, ALL of the sexual relationships on this shows are …inappropriate…or just odd.
The characters in Call Me are only slightly inappropriate on the page. 17, almost 18 to 24 in the book, or so I’ve read. It was more about how VISUALLY it just kept tripping me up and throwing me out of the story.
I’ll have to check We Are Who We Are.
I can see your point. I think they chose the best actors for the role & in doing so it made people & many others leery of the film. I completely understand your being uncomfortable with the visual age difference but the thing I loved the most about the film is that there are no repercussions no accusations & no consequences for two people who fall in love with each other & don’t suffer don’t regret & don’t have feelings of doubt or shame after their brief yet extremely loving relationship. I’m fifty two years old & from my first viewing of films representing homosexual desire & relationships Making Love 1980 to Brokeback Mountain 1990’s were angst filled guilt ridden men who suffered multiple indignities and scorn derision & fear. Call Me By Your Names elevates the portrayal of homosexual ( & all men) to a simple quiet & clean dignified passion filled EPIC romance & not a hedonistic vapid & lackluster version of homosexual love. Love is love. Period. I so enjoyed seeing it portrayed in my lifetime. I hope other people feel the same.
Yeah a lot of people had a problem with the age difference with casting. I also loved Lady Byrd and Three Billboards. That year I got a movie pass for Christmas and went to more movies in the theater that I have ever been to in my whole life. It was tons of fun, and sadly, I don’t want to ever go to a movie theater again, or anywhere else for the next …. probably at least two years.
A Movie Pass! I wish it had lasted a little longer before it died. I loved it b/c it was accepted at Independently owned theaters too. Last December I signed up for Regal. Luckily they suspended my year membership in March.
I might consider going with one of those Under the Weather Pods on. My mom said she won’t be seen with me if I wear one though.
The last movie I saw in a theater was Harriet. It was excellent and is available on HBO now. It’s always better in a dark theater, but it’s really an amazing movie. And I really thought Cynthia Erivo deserved her EGOT but nooooooooooooooooo Erica wanted Elton John to win and she has the magic touch with the awards shows. 🙂
OK, on top of waking up with a heavy dark leaden cloud trying to weigh me down, a person I truly love (best friend’s daughter) who voted for Trump is off the rails and DRIVING the Stop the Steal train. This is an SF State University graduate, who ONCE possessed superb critical thinking skills.
Among other things you may not know (HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS):
1. Biden had dead people votes [that happens every election, nothing evil, just people die after vote cast]! Chinese-printed ballots …
2. All REAL ballots have a “block brain chip” in them and we’re being monitored by satellite, so all of the … Democrat team who tried to destroy them by putting them all in the trash [will be found out].
3. Trump won all 50 states because “these are crimes against humanity, crimes against freedom, crimes against democracy and this will never ever happen again. Parks will not close singing will not be made illegal we are here to set the standard for the rest of the world that they need to end their lockdowns…”
4. The real count will “blister to 80-100 million Trump votes.”
5. There are about 100 signed affidavits attesting to incriminating things happening, from poll workers and USPS. There will be arrests in the mainstream media.
6. “Per Wikileaks” Diane Feinstein owns 70% majority share of the accounting system that was used in our swing states — it was automatically switching votes.
7. She says she “sent the pdf to Trump attorneys, which was published and shows you how to remotely log on and change votes.” They also called SCOTUS to report this.
8. You can preset one candidate to get fractional votes — what the Dens have done.
9. Global geniuses and mathematicians are laughing at us because … Biden’s vote counts are “statistically impossible.”
10. One of my favorites — “You [me] are part of the small percentage of people buying the Covid thing.”
THIS NONSENSE is then followed by poking fun at “real” conspiracy theories — here she is laughing along with me — that JFK and JFK Jr. are alive and on Trump’s team. And we will witness a “clear image of Michael Jackson, Elvis and Princess Di on the White House lawn for Trump’s January inauguration. They will be holding hands.”
She doesn’t get it that Trump’s January inauguration is no more likely than Michael Jackson, Elvis and Di appearing at the event!
There are LOTS of people who believe this CRAP!
Just KILL ME NOW!
I mean this is the kindest possible way, but how old is she? This sounds like paranoid schizophrenia to me. This is not an insult, it’s a matter of observation. And it doesn’t apply to all people who voted for Trump. But the magical chips and extreme paranoia concern me.
She is 30 and has three kids. Throughout the years, my friend and I would joke about maybe she was MY daughter. Both mildly OCD with wild imaginations and high IQs but making dumb choices.
She has for years been black and white, no shades of Gray. My friend says Borderline Personality Disorder. My therapist told me that is extremely rare, but now … I am inclined to agree. AND paranoid schizophrenia. Hubby is a paralegal and feels the same way. If he were nit working from home, I believe his employers would give him a choice of treatment or termination.
They carry on about a shutdown, while they espouse homesteading. They DO NOT GO ANYWHERE and we’re planning to homeschool BEFORE corona. Not religious.
And two months ago … they bought a shotgun.
I feel your pain. I’m going through the same thing with a few (soon to be former) friends. It’s scary that they don’t realize how insane they sound. I’m afraid there are going to have to be interventions once Trump actually leaves the White House.
I know of some of them White Supremacy is a hell of a drug. I have seen that analysis from several. But another person I follow (a black gay man who dedicates his life to the history of his people through food – Michael Twitty. He’s a culinary historian).
He kind of gave me space to pity them when I was feeling none after the election. He said that leaving a cult is very difficult and in that cult when things start to break down is probably the worst & when they are clinging to it (I’m paraphrasing of course. Too tired to go find it).
And yes, as TT says, that smacks of some mental health issues manifesting. I’m so so sorry. I had a cousin that was literally tin foil hat time because of aliens reading brainwaves and my aunt had the Secret Service show up because she did call in warning the president of the dangers she “saw” coming.
Notice again … TIN FOIL hat. The Foilheads NEVER say aluminum!
Can someone explain the Brittany Spears situation for us? Her dad as been so great as her conservator and now, and for the past year or more, she is afraid of him? She won’t sing as long as he is ONE of the conservators? She thinks he is stealing her money?
Has she had a psych eval latey? Is she sane now, or is she in need of mental health care again? I’m so confused. I should point out that I pay my bills once a month online and I have too look up my password every fucking month. At this rate I’m going to need assisted living or something soon. My brain is broken.
I have been following it & it basically comes down to the fact that she does not want to perform anymore ( or like Striesand very limited engagements for special occasions ) & her father is trying to get her back up on to the horse that threw her. She’s been working for her entire life & wants a life of a normal person yet as long as she remains pretty & thin & still has a huge fan base the powers that be want her to perform on command & take in the cash. He unfortunately believes she is still capable of performing on stage she would rather retire from the limelight. As long as he retains control of her life she will be subjected to these type of issues. Unfortunately for Brittany ( who I never payed attention to or liked until her first breakdown ) is in bad shape requires help with managing her finances & future income it should not be placed in the hands of anyone who can financially benefit from it. Sad story. She is a very nice girl an excellent mother & deserves empathy yet the media continues to taunt & devour her. I wish her nothing but the best. Like child stars of old she has been manipulated & controlled her entire life. It’s not fair.
That’s so sad- she’s probably in a delicate, vulnerable place, and going back to performing (and all that goes with it) would not be good for her. It’s strange though, I had just read that in her latest appeal to break free from her father’s stewardship, she had made the statement that as long as her father remained in control, she would not perform. So that seems to contradict the view that she doesn’t want to perform at all, because it’s almost as if she was saying that if she won her appeal and regained control of her finances, then she would perform again (as if it’s her father preventing her from wanting to perform). Wonder what the truth is?
I think if she enters into any contract of any kind he has a say in it. She is in no shape for any kind of touring & when she performs everyone financially benefits from her sweat blood & tears. See my idol Whitney Houston whose family is still living off of her & then allowing an authorized biography using her likeness & performances then trashing her at every opportunity. Sad. It’s not easy for them in life but in death ( see Elvis ) they are making scads of money off of his legacy. I hope Brittany gets well but after a lifetime in the music industry I think she’s better off not getting back on stage.
I’m sure you’re right👍.
I just had to Google which planet is farthest from the sun, for my son’s first grade homework. It is Neptune. How is a six year supposed to know that? I watched the instructional video that went with lesson and I still had no idea. I only remember having to write 3 letter words in first grade. I don’t recall doing so much in first grade.
It’s actually Pluto. However, Neptune and Pluto’s orbits cross for a while making Neptune the farthest. Then some group of dickheads decided that Pluto technically ISN’T a planet and is now considered a dwarf planet. So not sure if Pluto is still considered as an answer to the question anymore.
This is a strange question to ask a first grader in 2020. In 1975 or 1980 the clear answer would have been Pluto.
THANK YOU! My first thought was, this is a complicated answer. I initially thought, well doesn’t it depend on what year and who you ask. And I am not a science person. I am a grammer person. Sometimes.
Last week, their vocabulary word was “peculiar”. This week the vocabulary word is “tendril “. Are they prepping for the ACT’s already. I had to look up what plants and fruits have a tendril. We had to draw two plants or fruits with trendrils and write 3 complete sentences about it.
My son attends an amazing public school. I get frustrated, but I am lucky that his teachers give such detailed, lessons for us. And everyone is very quick in their responses.
In my 3rd grade class, my teacher had a thing about us having the planets memorized. She would randomly point to a student and ask if we could do it… didn’t matter if it was science time or not. Could be snack time, and she would do it. It was a total game. I was a kid who had some anxiety and I don’t remember EVER feeling the pressure, but also feeling the thrill when you got it. By the end of the year we ALL had it.
Years later I took astronomy in college. It was tough, but I liked it. I remember the first part of our finale was hard and every question could have an impact. I was the only student who got the order of the planets right, because of my 3rd grade teacher! I’m 49, and reading this, I STILL can rattle it off!
Oh and DAMN YOU astronomers for reclassifying Pluto to a dwarf planet!!!
I tried messaging her on Twitter too and haven’t heard back from her. I do hope she’s OK.
