Why do people listen to this?

LIMBAUGH: The state of Missouri is receiving a two million dollar Federal grant to feed needy children near Kansas City and St. Louis during the summer. Two million dollars that we don’t have to feed needy children near Kansas City .
“how can we expect them to feed themselves in the summer when they haven’t had to for nine months.”
Um…they are children. Last time I checked, we all thought feeding children was a thing that decent human beings did.
As well he might say, “Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”

Multiple Book Series are the Worst
20 AprThings I dislike about Multiple book series:
Not all stories are well written enough to deserve 3 (or more) volumes. I resent having to read 5 books to get to the end of the poor written story.
If the volumes can’t stand alone, thats even worse.
The obligatory recap chapter at the beginning of every book after the first. UGH! And also, the little reminders about what happened in the last books, apparently these are supposed to help anyone who didn’t read book 1 or had to wait a year for book 2 (3-4-5).
But what they actually do is bore me and make me feel like the author thinks I’m too dumb to remember basic plot events.
There are never reminders about the really important tiny details (that I sometimes do forget ) that turn out to be the clue to everything. (Like remember her scarf had tassels? That’s going to be important later.)
Things that reconcile me to the multiple volume novels:
Harry Potter
.
.
.
Oh and
The Lord of the Rings
Little House on the Prairie
Ramona the Pest
I would like to point out that 3 of the 4 series on my list did not employ the recap chapter. Because it is lame.
The end
(Sike! To be continued multiple times)
Sewing Pattern Addiction
11 AprA $220 purchase in clothing patterns wouldn’t be excessive at all, right?
I deleted out all the extra ones –these are just the basics that I NEED for my classic capsule wardrobe.
Plus they would all look good on my daughters too. It’s an investment.
What was that? When am I going to actually have time to sew all these lovely garments?
I don’t see how that has anything to do with this conversation. At all.
I am in LOVE with the patterns over at Hotpatterns.com
