Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

@soquel if you ever watched this show, you know she draws in historical parallells as well as humor/sarcasm, as well as her viewpoint (which usually i agree with) Reporting what has happened/is happening is Not negativity, in & of itself, btw.

I am curious of people's thoughts of science here. Are you confident in science?

AnneWimsey comments on Jul 29, 2018:

This person is posting all over this site in a feeble effort to sow doubt about science, yet his very questions show a complete lack of understanding of how science works....methinks I smell Troll?!

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

@Wavefunction $20 says he sends you a tract on how the dinosaurs your ancestors rode to hunt other dinosaurs are the cause

Their are things that can be proven to be unprovable.

Time for a new hobby, sweetie, or volunteer at the animal shelter. You only have one life! P.S. I fear nobody, regardless of their supposed knowledge. Why should i?

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

@TheAlchemist ummm, what? I fear no person, nor potential deity, either. Why should i?? I have a bunch of hard questions if I should meet such, and a swift kick in the nuts should that dirty Bastard be a "he", richly deserved!

Science is unable to set its own priorities.

AnneWimsey comments on Jul 29, 2018:

There is no one-size-fits-all in science, nor is there some governing body that aims research into grooves! Science can be Newton observing an apple fall, and postulating Gravity. You sound rather odd.......it is Religion that says "only look here".

Are there certain foods that the texture of makes you gag?

WalterWhite comments on Jul 29, 2018:

In China they sell deep fried chicken feet, dog meat, and also rat on a stick, as popular tasty street food, and although I have not eaten them, just the thought makes me gag.

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

@Silverwhisper I live near Mohegan Sun Casino and they have a huge Asian food hall, the real stuff! Only problem, I have eaten a few absolutely delicious things that I have no idea what they were (the point to the menu ordering method) the feet were obvious, though!

Have you ever seen a movie that you wished you never seen?

Marcie1974 comments on Jul 29, 2018:

I know I’m going to get flack for this but as a Minnesotan, I hated Fargo. Actually walked out of the movie half way through. Only movie I’ve ever done that. Couple years ago I tried watching it again but still couldn’t get past the stupid accents and bumbling way they were portrayed.

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

The sheriff & her hubby were some of the most endearing people i have ever seen on the screen!

Any questions?

archer5691 comments on Jul 28, 2018:

Yes. Did the woman in question confront the gentleman after the FIRST time he complimented her? And if so, did the gentleman then PERSIST in calling said woman pretty? Secondly, in the conversation above, the one guy tells the other that he's "pretty"....the recipient of the compliment then says it ...

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 29, 2018:

@Hellbent They give you a foot & leg massage while the feet relax under hot towels, then the hot stone shoulder rub followed by neck & shoulder massage...all for $30 plus tip. Feeling rich & pampered, plus pretty toes! DEFINITELY better than the cold shoulder, lol! P.S. men welcome, come on down! I guess you could skip the light peach nail polish for a more manly color, though.......

Not really looking for advice but I just found out my ex-husband passed away today.

AnneWimsey comments on Jul 25, 2018:

Go Immediately, with proof of marriage plus death certificate, to your local Social Security Office! You may be entitled to a huge raise in your SS if he made generally more than you in his lifetime. It is not paid retroactively, so go Now! My friend got a $628/month raise when her ex passed!

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 28, 2018:

@jc2018 asking is free, Assuming is just silly........it is based on his Lifetimes highest earnings......the best quarter. My friend who got over $600 more said the exact same thing.
