George Gershwin wrote a song by that name and it was performed in the 1937 movie "Damsel in Distress" in which Fred Astaire also appeared. Here endeth the lesson.</p>Ramona_WThu, 13 Aug 2020 16:52:35 -0000https://www.astartrekpodcast.com/dagger-of-the-mind-episode-9/#comment-4820767769<p>Yes. Me too. But I'm very immature when it comes to "hung" vs. "hanged". This leads to the humorous exchange in "Blazing Saddles":<br>Charlie: Bart! You're not dead!

We have a Presidential election in 2020 and blue happens to be the color representing one of the major parties. *Hint* It's not the one the current White House occupant is a member of.</p>Ramona_WFri, 06 Dec 2019 12:05:59 -0000https://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/what-to-wear-to-meet-with-your-advisor/#comment-4648973196<p>Not sure about the off the shoulder top without a camisole or something under it so you're not showing too much skin. The dress in the second look is beautiful but I'd recommend tights under it because some advisers might consider it too short for this kind of occasion.</p>Ramona_WFri, 11 Oct 2019 16:19:03 -0000https://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/how-to-wear-socks-boots/#comment-4641968844<p>This article has a recent dateline on it but there are comments that are 9 years old.

Unfortunately, I live in Phoenix and we can wear jackets only at Christmastime.

I think she's a product of her times and is raising her daughters as best she can to assume their place in Society. Two hundred years from now, people will no doubt look askance at the parenting choices we're making now. That being said, I much prefer "Pride &amp; Prejudice &amp; Zombies".</p>Ramona_WFri, 09 Aug 2019 17:24:05 -0000http://petapixel.com/?p=367765#comment-4571654336<p>Why people choose compensation rather than community is an ongoing debate, but some small town doctors - especially younger ones - have said dealing with the everyday illnesses of cold, flu, allergies, and injuries doesn't present enough challenge and they're unable to keep up with the latest research and techniques. I like variety, but I'm at an age where I think that, were I a doctor, I'd be happy with a steady stable clientele with common complaints and very little excitement. Someone else could have the big city, violence, and ER.</p>Ramona_WFri, 09 Aug 2019 00:29:27 -0000http://petapixel.com/?p=367765#comment-4569991704<p>This remains an important photo essay today as the conditions the AMA was worried about - shortage of rural doctors especially younger ones, increased specialization, lack of continuing improvement of skills - persist today and may even have worsened.</p><p>Thanks for sharing this.</p>Ramona_WWed, 07 Aug 2019 18:04:49 -0000https://www.collegefashion.net/shopping/june-2018-favorites/#comment-3973060996<p>I need to try out the Trader Joe's sunscreen since I hate my white smelly sunscreen and I need it just like you do and for similar reasons.</p>Ramona_WTue, 03 Jul 2018 22:28:48 -0000http://www.denofgeek.com/us/culture/hulu/266314/the-22-best-documentaries-on-hulu#comment-3941115392<p>This is a well-written article but the proofreading sucks. Doesn't spell-check catch things like "level" isn't a word without the final letter?

I neglected to consult the chart, purled two at the end of Row 10 to account for the two extra stitches and was in all kinds of trouble when I got to Row 11. Oh well, lesson learned and I get more practice casting on. Maybe I'll change yarn colors as well.</p>Ramona_WWed, 18 Apr 2018 01:09:38 -0000http://ktar.com/story/1719201/child-dies-falling-60-feet-sedona-hiking-trail/#comment-3502509671<p>Who takes a two year old on a hike without putting them in a backpack carrier or something? A lot of two year olds can't walk that well on flat paved ground so hiking is right out. The kid probably didn't want to hold anyone's hand either and was free range. But we'll see what the investigation says.</p>Ramona_WMon, 04 Sep 2017 23:57:13 -0000http://ktar.com/story/1663984/target-camelback-phoenix-small-format/#comment-3429604899<p>I was surprised so many of the comments brought up the restrooms as if that's the only reason people go to the store.

I have a vivid memory of her saying to my aunt- 43 years ago- "Mona and I bought a new sweater today. It's that shade of green that looks so good on you. Of course, her skin is much clearer than yours was at this age." Seriously? What the what, Granny? (She once told me she was surprised my first marriage lasted so long since he was too good for me.) She lived to be two weeks shy of 102 and I tell people it's because God didn't want to deal with her and left her down here as long as he could. And yet my other grandma was sweet as pie. Go figure.</p>Ramona_WMon, 24 Apr 2017 17:50:33 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/grace-and-frankie-are-ben-and-jerry-vaginal-stimul-253067#comment-3272101262<p>I wonder if the back medicine making someone chatty is a call-back to the episode of "West Wing" when President Bartlet is supposed to take pain medicine for his back and when the staff asks which one he took he says "I wasn't supposed to take both?"</p>Ramona_WMon, 24 Apr 2017 16:11:18 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/grace-and-frankie-are-ben-and-jerry-vaginal-stimul-253067#comment-3271774030<p>While I can picture Frankie saying she'd rather be known for doing good than for being rich, Grace has come so far in three seasons that it's easier to picture her saying "Por que no los dos?" than writing off the chance to do good in favor of being celebrated for her money.</p>Ramona_WMon, 24 Apr 2017 14:30:15 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/grace-and-frankie-gets-real-about-friendship-break-252920#comment-3270845545<p>Then again, a lot of couples aren't sexy with each other after twenty years.

There isn't much chemistry; it's true. They remind me of my grandparents when they were in their 70s. But sometimes they're very sweet with each other and I buy it especially from Martin Sheen. That whole episode of getting married in the hospital and I bawled like a baby when Sam Waterston was coming into the house to tell him he'd slept with Frankie. I just kept saying "Oh my god. He's going to break Robert's heart and Robert loves him so much."</p>Ramona_WMon, 24 Apr 2017 00:17:22 -0000
