Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

So many bastards, so little time.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Their shamelessness is their super power.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The lights are all blinking red.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The deadline for submitting your pictures is very soon.  We can extend that by a couple of days IF you send email letting us know the name of each pet you want in the calendar.

It’s a 4-step process, start to finish.  (for you)

  1. Start the process by sending me an email message
  2. Use the link we supply to upload your files
  3. Check for your nym and names of your pets in the spreadsheet we’ll post later on BJ
  4. Notify us if anything is incorrect

🐇

To start the process, simply send email to watergirl.  If you need more info about the exact email addresses, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top, for details.

Your message should include:

  1. your name
  2. your nym
  3. the names of all each pet that is going to be in the calendar
  4. if you would like a small heart with the photo of a beloved pet that you have lost

🐇

Details and the link for uploading your files will be sent to you by email once you send the email with your name, nym, and pet names.

🐇

Calendars will be available to order by December 1.

    It seems like no one comments on these, even though I make it clear that they are open threads.  But more folks write asking for the upload link after I post these, so I guess it’s not a lost cause.

    I’m here! Let’s see…well, my disability claim got approved by the state, huzzah! I was kind of surprised that I didn’t have to go through the denial/appeal thing. I was on disability for years in my early to mid 30s, but that was for a very severe physical illness. This time around, it’s a mental disability issue, and I guess I assumed that even though they do list it on the SDI site as a recognized disability, they would just be like “LOL suck it up” and deny me. So I’m very relieved, plus pleased that the amount is more than I expected.

    @Alison Rose: Congrats!  Is this a process you’ll have to go through again every few years?  Or was it a one-and-done?

    @Old School: So, the way it went last time is that SDI through the state is “short term” and lasts for a year, so long as your doctor continues to certify your disability. I think they have to do it every few months? And then after a year, if you are still disabled, they transition you to long term disability through the federal government. And on that, I think I had to recertify it once a year.

    @Alison Rose: Well, damn, that is certainly not typical! I know they are tortuous and glad yours was less so.

    In happy news, Sir Tristan (cat) lost a tooth but gained perhaps a better disposition if it was bothering him. He will be back and complaining in the Siamese way by dinnertime.

    There’s now a box to check for authorizing CPR if necessary, and I appreciated the thought, and declined its use. Just an FYI for pet lovers, so they can ponder before the next procedure.

    Can someone who watches Apple TV plus tell me how to figure out what episode I am watching?

    I am watching on my iPad.  I started with episode 1 of Bad Sisters, and just like Netflix when one episode is done I can click to see the next episode.

    But on Netflix, I can always see what episode I am watching.  Season 1, episode 3, or whatever.

    I cannot find any way to see what episode I am watching.  I think I am getting close to the end of the series and it’s really annoying – I can’t even tell if I am on the last episode!

    Hoping someone can tell me.

    @WaterGirl: Even though I don’t, since this has been sitting a while I decided to research it. All I found were angry customers with the same problem.

    @Qrop Non Sequitur: Okay, well at least I know I’m not missing something that’s right in front of me.

    I had clicked every available icon on the screen and had no idea where to go from there.  I did a quick google before posting but didn’t come up with anything.

    Thank you for solving the mystery!

    @Qrop Non Sequitur:  After posting my question, I went off and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, which is where I watch Bad Sisters.  Only on the treadmill!

    So my best guess is that I am now either 10 minutes from the end of the series OR I am 10 minutes from the end of episode 9, and there is one more episode.

    Why do they think people wouldn’t want to know where they are???  (yelling at Apple TV PLUS, not you)

    @WaterGirl: OK, open the Apple TV app and, if Bad Sisters isn’t under Most Popular, clock on See All and it should be on the list. Click on Bad Sister and it should launch a page title page that has a Resume Episode button. If you scroll you’ll see each episode and there is a checkmark there that indicates you have watched it

     

    eta when I hit Resume it went back to the beginning, it does show images of where you are.

    @WaterGirl: Or, for that matter, pick a previous episode to rewatch from a menu?

    I wouldn’t be able to function like that. I only watch TV going to sleep. I need to know where I am and how to get back there.

    November 3, 2022 at 2:29 pm

    @raven: I guess that could work, but I don’t want to lose my place.

    I just want to be able to see the episode # of the episode I am watching, or at least see that the next episode will be season x, episode x and I am prompted to watch the next one.

    I can always tell where I am on netflix.

    @WaterGirl: ​
     

    I recently got a rowing machine, and it’s set up in my library-office, so I can watch streaming while I row. Does anyone know how to stream live television, like MSNBC, on the computer? Otherwise I can watch Prime or Netflix.

    November 3, 2022 at 3:38 pm

    @JoyceH: I am probably no help here.  Live streaming shows on TV  channels have commercials, which makes me nuts.  So I would always opt for Prime or Netflix myself.

    I’ll post this message again later, but I just mailed #25 Ukraine quilt blocks to these folks:

    GB, 13000, LS, Sacrableu, SkyBluePink, Lodger/NoOneYouKnow, CarolWP and Watergirl

    I had a quilt guild meeting today and I was tasked with the Show ‘N Tell portion of the meeting.  Let me tell you, I have way too many quilts that need a good home!  Those suckers are HEAVY.  I did show  #25 and the ladies are very good to ooh and ah!

    @JoyceH:  For MSNBC, click on “Live TV” on the right side on the top menu bar.  They do make you proof you have a cable account or you can only watch for ten minutes.

    @WaterGirl:

    Look at the episode guide on IMDB. The thumbnail descriptions are not (usually) spoilery.

    @Steeplejack: Thanks for the suggestion.  The descriptions of the last two episodes both fit the episode I’m on.  But I fear it’s the last one.
