What are ‘locs”?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loc Allegedly a variant spelling of locks. It's "a narrow ropelike strand of hair formed by matting, braiding, or twisting"

It’s also associated with mono, chickenpox, and.... genital herpes. Take your pick.
Also with Lyme disease. That's how I got it nearly 40 years ago. (No lasting impact except a little bit of tightness on one side of my face. If you catch a photo of a half-smile, you can see a trace of it.)

I can add one to your list. We were told by doctors there was a high risk of Downs with child #5, and they provided information on abortion, which we promptly threw in the trash.
She is 21 now, 4.0 GPA in college, valedictorian when she graduated high school, and she is the nicest of the kids (and they all inherited a good bit of the Minnesota nice.)

I guess I just haven’t kept up with modern military ranks. I thought only the Navy and the Coast Guard had commanders.
I assume the reporter doesn't know the difference between an Air Force rank and job title. (There are plenty of commanders in the USAF - nearly every captain and above is either a pilot of a commander of something.)
I also assume you know this, but felt like making fun of an ignorant reporter for the awkward wording (which is perfectly understandable.)

Someone stole all of my furniture, tvs and everything else and replaced it with identical looking copies. It beats anything I ever seen. Who would go to that much trouble?

She bought an $84,000 SUV with no money down, and traded in a car on which she still owed money.
It's worse than that. She didn't just owe money on it; she owed more than it was worth. I'd say she's as dumb as a box of rocks, but the rocks might be offended.

The thing that gives me some pause is only 19 Rs were opposed along with all Ds. Is it possible the choice was this or something worse and now we’re are going to get the other options rammed through?
