Apologies, I thought that db posting the link to the story yesterday was enough context. My "faith group code" is still listed, so I have no skin in this game.
They kept Druid?
Ha! Maybe one of the 3 kinds of Wiccan they had listed, but I guess fall under No Religion, even though they used to have No Religion, Atheist, and Humanist listed. I just post about Celtic festivals from a cultural perspective, rather than a religious one.
i was actually referring to the stars. i'm quite sure they'd do just fine.
but as for everyone else on staff - do you think that anyone with "60 minutes" on their resume would have trouble finding a job?
Not to be pointlessly argumentative, but I will take issue with the assumption that landing a job in broadcast television is anything but challenging these days. Broadcast media outlets are not thriving today.
It may seem like a minor quibble, but it’s part of the reason that someone like Weiss can do what she’s doing. A lot of the staff members have probably worked for years to get where they are. Giving that up for the uncertainty of the job market has to be daunting. Plus heaven only knows what blacklist you’d end up on.
saw on FB that she passed after what seems like a fairly lengthy illness she was fighting with an optimistic spirit. I looked up her comments here and apparently she hadn't posted in nearly a decade, which would explain why my memory of her contributions were kind of fuzzy. But it seems like she was here mostly to give or request good advice. I never met her but she seemed like a positive person. And as mrincredible noted, gone too soon.
...HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM NOON THURSDAY TO 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Heat index values up to near 100 expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From noon Thursday to 8 PM EDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. If you don`t have home air conditioning, continue to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
Canciones De Mi Padre (pick any song, I can't, I love them all!) - Linda Ronstadt. The second you mentioned her Mr.T, memories of her concert flooded my soul with my deep love for all the music of Mexico.
How will this fit in with the whole Constitution thingy?
does the constitution require recognition of every half-witted organization that declares itself a religion?
maybe it does - and that would explain a large part of why we're so f***ed.
the 1st amendment is such a freaking disaster.
let's give person-hood to corporations!
let's equate money with speech!
don't tax religions!
etc etc etc etc
what a mistake.
Let's start with the question "why does the military have a list of recognized religions?"
Because the military provides chaplains for religious soldiers, and knowing how many troops belong to which denominations allows the military to recruit and deploy them where they are most needed, no?

Just my thoughts.

Like 3 LikesThe week starts warm and dry then midsummer happens
Today, clouds thin out and we should end up with afternoon sun and a high around 80⁰, humidity lingers. Low tonight mid 50⁰s
Tuesday, sunnier, less humid, a bit warmer, high in the low to mid 80⁰s, overnight lows lower 60⁰s
Wednesday, might see a shower in the morning, then chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. High mid 80⁰s, low around 70⁰
The back end of the week is still a bit unclear, but it is likely to include highs around 90⁰, moderate humidity, and possibly afternoon thunderstorms

Yum. Because of its tantalizingly limited season, strawberry rhubarb may be my favorite pie.
