Beauty is fleeting. But ugly lasts forever.

Not on topic, but i hate gender reveal parties. A narcissistic concept, just below elementary school graduations. 

You can add that to my list of hates along with kindergarten graduation ceremonies and parties. 

Around my neck of the besides having to deal with the corona virus, we are almost surrounded by the alphabet complex wild fires CZU, LNU- they don't give them proper names. We just wonder what the next disaster will be. 

Mad  to go on a just a cruise ship? On any kind of ship where you have to go below decks or inside. Your safest ship bet would be the open upper deck of a Golden Gate Ferry or Washington State Ferry boat. 

When it's 106 degrees in the city, 99 at the beach in Santa Cruz, it ain't boot season.

When the county opens up and allows hairstylists to work again, I just might try Lurch's style.

Birkenstocks were the awful looking shoes that most of my younger women high school teachers wore. The natural evolution of style from their hippy days.  

Birkenstocks 

The first 'computer' I worked on and used was a Mk 114 fire control computer. The switch board alone weighed 3 tons.  All dials, gears, servos and synchro's.  Transistors the size of quarters.   

Just so long as the prize is worth more than $1.98 it should be good. Rip Taylor's $1.98 Beauty Contest show had some real 'interesting' contestants. 

The government must not make the same mistakes that it did during the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic. The communities that had the least deaths and illnesses and were least impacted during the Spanish Flu pandemic had versions of a shelter in place/ controlled access system that was strictly enforced. Gunnison Colorado is one example.

Wearing heels is part of your costume like an actress's. Your personality changes to suit the character you are playing.

Haven't had time to open these...

I hope it does not say 'Do not open until Christmas' on them.

Please tell us what brands and the styles of those brands that have such inaccurate sizes. That sounds like a lack of quality control.

While that sucks, you can look at the silver lining and buy more heels...

The good old ones are long gone and most of new ones are like the second act of a very bad play- not worth the cost of admission and not for my budget.

It seems like the quality of the materials and the workmanship has changed for the worse over the years and my shoes do not last half as long as similar ones did in the past.

Going to the Goodwill store is like going on an Easter egg hunt. You never know what you will find there. 

This contest is looking like Groundhog Day. It does not know when to end.

I think the biggest drawback to clear/ plastic shoes is that they don't 'breath' like leather or cloth shoes and cause the feet to sweat more than usual, making your feet uncomfortable.   

Putin and company are already too late. The ghetto kids in Watts, East Palo Alto and Oakland have already succeeded in screwing up the English language years ago.

The 'expert analyst' can prove anything with statistics and surveys. It's just a matter of how they word their questions for them to get the answers they want to hear and to put those answers out as facts or so called truth.

Some of the roads in my area would make excellent tank traps. If the Russian army ever comes this way they would be stuck in rush hour gridlock or the roads themselves would defeat them.

I understood Amanda and Megan were going to judge this at a later date based on the frequency and number of posted entries.

With out a deadline, how will you know when it is time to print the paper?

There are more than plenty of entries to be judged. It is quite clear that some of the entries will not make it past the first round. However, there are plenty of other entries that merit being in the final four.

This contest has been going on since January. Has anyone set a closing date for entries?

With so many great pictures, a multiway tie is likely. Perhaps our fearless leader Tech should be the tiebreaker and decide the ultimate winner.

Sure, but alas, editors know better. I’m the guy they send off to Chad or New Guinea...

Hopefully it was not Lae, Papua New Guinea. I have been there my self, and that place is an absolute dump.
