Or on the backside of the mountain.
I was going to say the same thing. Makes me sad people are buying the lies about biological males being raised as females somehow magically changing the reality of their genetics. Gives them an unfair advantage in a already brutal sport and destroys all of the hard work of the women who deserve to be represented by champions of their own gender.
But to each his or her own. We can just agree to disagree.

I've known several people lately who've had it. Most of them have been traveling. I think I'll stay as close to home as I can.

It will never happen in any way, as long as Krusty Gnome is governor of S.D. If someone suggested Trump, she would be all about it. I think that Mt. Rushmore may never have another president added.

Somewhere I read that the individual Imane Khelif had been taking male hormones. That alone is a disqualification, isn't it? I've got no dog in the fight but I have seen photos of very homely women who were Muslim and could have passed for men, even though they were wearing the hajib.

Back on my soap box
There should be XX sports and XY sports not men and women sports. The former is exact the latter abstract.

I will agree to disagree then. Still respect you and like seeing your posts.
Also editing to add that my cats decided to have a full-out brawl today. Started with Mewlatto slapping Yasuke and not expecting to get tackled in return. Snugglebum jumped on Yasuke. Mew ran. Gravy Jones jumped on Snugglebum so it was a 3-way fight with poor Snugs being ganged up on. I got Yasuke out of the fray. But Gravy did not want to let up on Senator Snugglebum. They rolled around the kitchen, the hallway, into my room, and back out into the hallway. Boo was hollering wanting them to break up. Princess wanted to help but didn't know which cat to side with she barked a few times but they were not having it. Every time I got them pulled apart I'd be trying to keep them away from one of them would jump back on the other. Gravy did it more times than Snugglebum did. I got my leg kicked and clawed. I was telling them to stop with Boo verbally backing me up. He looked like he wanted to intervene but he's old and smart enough to know better. He's mostly attitude and can't really put up a fight. My brother heard the commotion and came rushing out to help. He pulled Gravy Jones off while I held Snugglebum back. I picked Snugs up and set him on the cat tree. Sylvanas had gone into hiding inside a cabinet. Snugs sulked for awhile. I put out food and calmed Gravy enough to get him to eat. I got out a comb and combed all of the kitties to clean their fur up and further calm them down. Snugs was calmer but still sulking on top of the fridge. Itsy got jealous that I was combing other kitties so I started combing her and Sylvanas got jealous and jumped up and shoved Itsy so she could get combed. Itsy then climbed on my shoulder.
Kitties are all calmed down now, but it took awhile to get my leg to stop bleeding.
Also, the bottle pit mom has created in front of the TV is so high that it comes up to the leg line of my underwear. I really need to get it picked up but have been feeling like garbage. She paged me while I was typing this so I had to stop and go get her some food. LOL.

I agree that Google is a monopoly and is using this to their advantage. No gripes about this ruling from me regarding that. But one part of the ruling has me scratching my head:
Didn't this judge consider that the reason Microsoft's Bing has an 80% share in Microsoft Edge is because it is the predetermined default option in Microsoft Edge?

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I have never seen a cat brawl and I don't think I care too.

Thanks d_marsh. Hope everyone else is doing OK. I'm worried about Frodo and hoping AmishHeart will get some relief soon and not have to be jerked around by insurance companies.
The cats basically clutch each other with their front legs- digging in claws, trying to find spots that inflict pain but also give them leverage. They bite each other and then kick the crap out of each other with their back legs. Had to take Gravy to the vet awhile back because a claw or bite above his eye got infected. They like to bite at each other's necks, faces, backs, etc. Gravy had Snugglbum by the side of the neck and was kicking him in the stomach. But Snugglebum is a strong muscular cat who was kicking and digging claws into gravy while also trying to get him off of his neck. I'm not one of those people who will film something and not intervene. My priority is ending the fights as soon as I can to reduce the severity of injury. Cat bites can get infected easily. At least Snugglebum will not ever bite or claw a human on purpose, so I usually end fights by picking him up, He'll still huff and puff, but he doesn't get aggressive with me. Gravy will sometimes freak out and bite or scratch because he can't seem to differentiate once he gets worked up. I'm hoping that when my brother finishes his current job and is on a brief hiatus that we can get the rest of the male cats neutered. Have to get them up-to-date on vaccines first though.
Haertig I can understand google being the default search engine in Chrome and Bing being default in whatever browser Microsoft has now (I know it used to be Internet Explorer-- it's Edge now?). I wonder which things bought out Lycos and Infoseek or if they just went the way of the dodo. I miss Infoseek because you could use boolean search + would include certain terms, - would exclude certain terms. You could search within results to narrow things down. Even modern browsers I've seen haven't had those options.
I was thinking of getting up and doing something but now I can't remember what it was....
Oh, did I mention that I got my mother trash bags to put her empty bottles in but she still tosses her bottles across the room instead of putting them in the trash?

My day keeps getting better /sarcasm
AC isn't cooling to what it should. It got up to 76 and its supposed to stay at 70. I shut it off for several minutes and turned it back on. I changed the filter, poured bleach down condensate line, made sure cap was on the condensate line tee. went outside to make sure compresor was running. Noted weeds growing around it and a stupid gumball tree is growing next to it and branches are hanging over. Will need to get that removed.
Went to drink some milk and it was sour.
Oh, and my left ear starting hurting yesterday and today it has a sore swollen lump behind the ear. It hurts to chew, swallow, open my jaw too much, or yawn. I've switched to using drops in the left ear as the right one feels cleared up. Had a fever again but it broke. Headache is back and I'm feeling lightheaded. Cats had another fight and broke a glass measuring cup, which I haven't picked up yet bc I feel like garbage. I'm still slightly nauseous and don't have much appetite. We're out of some grocery stuff so I have to go to the store tomorrow and am not looking forward to it. Will see if my brother can come with me.
Ceiling is still dripping like crazy.
Hoping the antibiotics and ear drops will help clear up this other ear.

My rant for the day? Jake brakes. My daughter lives near the road that goes to the sawmill. The log truck drivers and their GD jake brakes are irritating. The town has an ordinance aginst using the JB's, but many drivers ignore it.

It gets better. Internet stopped working. Mom was having an absolute tantrum about it. I checked and the modem was working but saying there was no connection to dish. Went outside and found THISWhy does everything happen at once?!!
And I'm having to use cell service to connect so it takes forever to load a webpage or post an image (hence the small image). I think the wind knocked it loose and it fell into the AC fan outside.
As I was headed back into the house I stepped directly in the middle of a huge fresh cow plop.
At this point I have to laugh about how bad the luck is bc otherwise I'm going to go apoplectic.
We have some wiring kits so we can try to temporarily fix it and order a new cord, but it might take awhile to get one.
At some point you might as well laugh!! A stretch of good luck should be coming your way!!
Damn Zannej, you are NOT having a good couple days, are you??!!!!
...Am I far enough away to be safe?
When I have trying times like this, I go back to bed.
Had a battle with red wasps last night. I live in a 2 family duplex. The upstairs has a full length deck above my porch. There are always a few wasps on my porch, normally not a problem. They’ll have a nest or two underneath the upper deck. I let them alone in case I want to go fishing. Wasp larva make great bream and bluegill bait. So seeing a wasp on my porch is no cause for alarm.
This time they built a nest in the yarrow plant I keep on my porch. Fronds die and form a mat underneath. They built a nest under the dead mat. I water my plants every 2 to 3 days. The mat was thick, by the time the angry wet wasps got air borne I was back in the house. I never noticed them until last evening. I watered all my plants and then started moving the pots around. Suddenly there were a dozen of wasps flying around. Uh-Oh... Houston, we have a problem!
I poured a couple gallons of water over the plant. Then got the nest out while the half-drowned wasps tried to recover. The darkness helped, managed to not get stung. I had on my bee keeping hood and gloves anyway.
Guess it’s time to go to war, another nest is right above my porch plants. A little too close for comfort. I keep a few cans of hornet spray in the shop.

Who bought all this ammo?

DIE DIE DIE!!!!
I agree, I leave them alone, they are important to the cycle.
But if it is them or me, I will get the flame going.
Rain coming down off big storm....garden is full of tomatoes green as a gourd and size of softballs...not near ready...guess plants are going to take up all this water and bust all my maters...2 moths plus of work/tending to and going to be flushed down the toilet !
all we can do is wait and hope not as much rain as suppose top be.

Pick them green, wrap in newspaper and store in a box. Check them every week or two. They'll ripen like that.
We've picked green mater ahead of a frost and had fresh maters at Christmas

Ammo is heavy, Dade, with you there. I have some that needs to go downstairs and I haven't done it. It's heavy.
Insurance companies make me mad. So I called the Ambetter insurance company to ask what on earth is going on....they denied the MRI, said 6 weeks of PT is necessary, and then will not pre approve the PT. They said each PT visit has to be preapproved, and they can take 2 weeks to approve each and every one after preapproval paperwork has been received. I show online that they received it, on their website. The lady says nope, doesn't see it. Told her at this rate, with two weeks in between, and all the preapprovals, it'll be next year before I can re request an MRI, and I won't have them for insurance next year because they suck! They even denied the cream prescribed to me to help with lower back pain. I ended up paying for it in cash with Good RX. They deny everything. So I called the hospital to see how much for a cash paid MRI. They will give a discount, so they'll call back. I'll probably have to do it that way.
My favorite cousin who is amish and in her 70's cracked me up. She called me to say that a IRS scammer is bugging her and now left a msg for her to call back right away. So she called him back and she told her that he should be ashamed of himself, trying to scam old widows out of all of their money. That made her feel better. But he hung up on her. Ha.
