What is the average date of the last freeze where y’all are? It is March 21 here, but I’ve seen it freeze in April many times. It is nearly 80 and sunny now, but tomorrow and Sunday, it will be about 62, and may freeze at night-thankfully, my salad greens, arugula and spinach plants don’t mind a little freeze, because they are already sprouted from seeds in the ground and several inches tall.

I think the video of her obviously inappropriate discussion of her sex life and asking for taxpayers to finance it will be a hinderance to her future employment-I certainly hope so. Who would hire an attorney to represent them whose earliest claim to fame was something as dumb as that?
I do not believe that he outright called her a slut, I believe he qualified that asking someone to pay for your contraception to allow wanton sex, would be the same as prostitution....Rush is a bit more experienced than to fall into that trap. It IS the LASlimes that is saying he said that......consider the source.
Freeze? We can get over three feet of snow at the end of April. My husband was born then and the snow fall was so bad he and his mom were snowed in at the hospital. I was snowed in in late March after having my daughter. Two weeks later I had an infection and was hospitalized for five days....the hospital nearly shut down, nurses were not allowed to leave....we had a huge slumber party.
Actually, it would have been more nicely insulting if Rush had opined that you could say that woman was a nymphomaniac, or had a sex addiction.
And thanks to the internet that algore invented, any potential employer can google her name and come up with this story. NOT a smart move for someone in law school.
I can’t imagine that at all-I’ve been in Wa state and Illinois with the military, and spent a lot of time in New Mexico with my first husband’s family, but I’ve never seen anything like what you are describing. My dad and husband both expected orders to Alaska (Anchorage), but they were sent someplace warmer instead. I was disappointed then, but when I hear stuff like “snowed in in late March”, I’m damn glad those orders were changed.
Snowed in in late April....we have even had snow in May.
Employers certainly do that-last week, my daughter told me about a classmate getting her resume out there-to the private sector-in anticipation of graduation. It seems she had indulged in some nonsense with a (now ex) boyfriend at a website that involved nude/seminude posing, risque conversation, etc, but nothing hardcore.
She was confronted with a printout of some of her stuff by a potential employer, told she was not on the short list, and thanked for her interest in the company-she was mortified. My daughter said mom I had to slap my forehead and say WTF did you expect? She just looked blank-didn’t understand at all-thought it was just harmless fun and didn’t see why it should affect her being in the public eye as groundwater safety technician who provides in-service training to well drillers-who are mostly MEN-duh!
Wow. Clueless.
My daughter used to spend time on FB, when she had an office job.....I told her she should stop, cold turkey. She ended up taking one job and found out that she had mutual friends on FB with the owner’s daughter who was the office manager.
Small world, best to not have an account.
Add to short list of things NOT bigger in Texas:
Convenience stores.
Y’all need some Sheetz or WaWas. More than once I stopped for a diet Dew and the place didn’t have any.
Some of the biggest snowfalls are in March. Later in the year, it’s warmer which means more, wetter snow. A former coworker had his first baby during a late March blizzard, with a police escort to the hospital.
dear, God.....tornadoes in the Nashville area.....stay safe. an entire town in IN is now missing....totally gone, nothing left. WTH? scary days. give me the lousy snow.
I remember it snowed in early March once in SA during a really cold winter, but that was in the mid-70’s-and the snow was mostly melted by afternoon. I remember that event because of the happy memories of the day.
I don’t do FB or any of that, nor does my daughter-worse than a paper trail.
melted by afternoon? I was in the hospital trapped for days, snow so deep that month, when I had my daughter I was snowed in for a day, no visitors, then two weeks later at the end of the month, I was in for five days, snowed so bad on top of the snow we already had that it shut down the whole region. everything closed down, nurses couldn’t get to work, no one could go home....just awful. state of emergency and no one could be on the roads. then back when my husband was born some 3ft and up the year he was born...April 28th....snowed in. pictures of him coming home from the hospital with snow piled everywhere....of course, that was before I was born.
oh, I do FB.......you would not believe the stuff I see there.....I post very little, but OMG....I get a real hoot out of it all.
theO got involved in the hoopla about Rush and the college student....when is the beer summit? with the free contraception she can get drunk and it won’t matter what results from it. a good time for all. /sarc
