Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Unfortunately, Taylor Swift has a "house" in my state so we have to hear of her regardless of American football

I Googled because I knew she had to have more real estate…
She also has properties in Tennessee, California and New York City. I really thought she might have a house in all 50 states, and several countries, by now…!!!!!
My sincerest condolences to the folks in those unfortunate states…!!!!!

The team that has nothing to do with Taylor Swift

She a non-thing in my mind. I don't care who she is having "relations" with ever. But I do like the team, but I also like the other team so it is a dilemma of the first degree. It won't be long before she writes another song about her breakup with him. It's overdue even now.

Yeah, I've seen different things about code words, or other ways to let the bartender know you don't feel safe. And I read somewhere about bathrooms having posters up with a number to call and someone will escort you to your car. I'm not sure any of it would have helped in this case, just because the guy wasn't deterred by the 2 girls who followed her out. He just attacked them, too. It's just so sad and scary. She did everything right. She didn't accept drinks from him, she was polite and didn't do anything to make him angry, nor did she lead him on. I don't know what more she could have done. I feel like him giving her his wallet and going to the bathroom was a ploy all along, because she wasn't accepting drinks from him. He probably knew she wasn't going to order drinks like he told her to. I think it was just so he could accuse her of stealing, and he made a scene just to get kicked out so she would be alone. And if that WAS his plan, it probably wasn't the first time he's done this. I just can't believe the bar employees didn't see it. They must be used to seeing guys hitting on girls who aren't receptive...why wouldn't they keep an eye on that kind of a thing. Wouldn't alarm bells be going off in your head if you saw a girl refusing drinks from a guy the whole night and suddenly he's accusing her of stealing? If I saw that, I'd be going to the girl, asking if she was ok and if she needed anything. And I'd probably be telling the guy to call the police if he thought someone stole from him. It just seems like an obvious ploy to me.

Yep, I had no doubt he set her up from the info in your first post, especially after she rejected him.
Only psychopaths take rejection to that sick point.
I was a young man once, and myself and my buddies went to bars and dance clubs often.
We approached women (and they sometimes even approached us), but rejection was rejection and you took it like a true, decent man and moved on.
Obviously, this dude has a major mental malfunction.

Thank you. This happened in Wyoming, so it's in the US. This girl is the daughter of one of the women who was in choir with me at college. Her dad worked with my husband and me at Walmart when we lived there. As a mother, that's probably one of my worst nightmares. And my friend said that she couldn't get there, because she lives in Cheyenne and this happened in Laramie, and it had just stormed and the roads were closed. So she ended up having to call a friend who lives in Laramie at 2 in the morning and asking her to go to the hospital to be with Em, because she couldn't get there. I can't even imagine how that felt....to not be able to get to your child who is in the hospital. Horrifying.

Well, unfortunately, that makes more sense, regarding the state of things here these days.
Either way, I hope the prosecutor in this case chucks that pile of carp away for a looooong time.

I’ve only ever felt one earthquake … but I really felt it. September 25, 1998 - Google variously describes it as either 5.2 or 5.4 with the epicentre in Pyntanung, PA.

I was driving home from work and my car literally shifted sideways on the highway. It was terrifying because my brain was fighting with reality - cars don’t move laterally, and yet for a second or two, mine did. Not a swerve like a wind gust … literal sideways movement.

Earthquakes happen multiple times per day across the country, but they’re imperceptible - detectable by sensitive seismic-measuring equipment only.

Earthquakes aren’t really something Canadians worry too much about. Except for reports of one death in an earthquake in Montreal in 1732, nobody has ever been killed by a quake in Canada.

We’re having a doozy of a storm right now. Took Daisy out for a quick pee, and the weather is fit for neither man nor beast.

It’s actually been snowing on and off (mostly on) since last night, with intermittent squalls and heavy drifting. It was so windy last night that I finally broke down and went to turn on the heat. Turns out that the Super has to turn on the rads in each apartment every year. I regretfully called him just before 9pm. I could have sucked it up and just piled on the blankies, but I have a teeny tiny dog and two kitties to worry about.

Dave was actually a good sport about it. I asked him if I was the last person in the building (58 apartments) to activate their heat, and he laughed and said, “By months!”

I think I've shared before that last year I turned my heat on in my apartment for just a few days in January when it was -30 out. I only turned it on this year so far when it was -30 out. Otherwise everyone below and around me keep me warm.

On a side note, it got to 50 degrees today! It was windy as can be and didn't feel like it, but I walked into the grocery store after work with no coat on. It was glorious. Unfortunately I have morning recess duty, so it's still cold when I go out, and I don't get to enjoy the days when it's nicer in the afternoon.

I had a 6th grade teacher (Mr. Dawson) that was in the San Fernando Valley quake of ‘71, that occurred at 6a on Feb. 9th. He was staying with his wife at his in-laws house, and said they were jolted awake, and then the bed started moving across the bedroom.
That was a 6.6 quake and, unfortunately, his in-laws home did sustain damage.
We have very small quakes here in Texas, from time to time, but they’re usually undetectable by the residents.
We also have a fault (the Balcones Fault) that runs through the hills of west Austin, but it’s been inactive for 10K+ years.

Not too bad for us right now temperature-wise, but when I let the dogs out a few minutes ago it was definitely soupy…

Pretty much the same here. This is a building populated mostly by seniors, and they keep their apartments WARM! All of our windows face south, which means lots of sun. We also face the courtyard, which means that the building next door generally blocks the rare wind from the south.

Last night was an exception due to the extremely high wind and squalls.

I’ve got the heat off now, via the thermostat; but until Dave came and activated the rads, the thermostat was just a wall ornament.

The bedroom window is again wide open, with the drapes open. The regular two tower fans are also on.

Amen to that. Unfortunately I don't think most perpetrators of this type of crime get much more than a slap on the wrist. I guess we'll see.

Yep, seems to be the trend these days, and it’s absolutely disgusting.
If you don’t mind, please keep us informed in regard to the recovery of the young lady, and the legal action against the psycho perp.
Again, many prayers for her.

Before we went to pick up Matt (we got him an order to go) from work tonight, Carolyn and I enjoyed a nice meal at our local Casa Garcia’s…
Chips and salsa, my Dos Equis Ambar Especial, and my chicken flautas with rice and refried beans, and a bit of guac, sour cream, lettuce and tomato…!!!!!
