Church's first openly transgender California bishop resigns after allegations of racism.

Terrifying.

assisted living is very expensive...my sister is there at $6,500/month and she doesn't have any long term medical conditions that would require nursing/medical care...her expenses already exceed her monthly income and she is eating away at her savings...hope she'll have enough...

Gas pumps will not be able to register any price above $9.99 per gallon?!?

Atomic Liquors in Las Vegas is celebrating their 70th anniversary. They were issued Liquor License No. 00001 in 1952.

Ever wonder why there are NO democrats on Mount Rushmore?

Yeah, me neither.

Yeah, and his relative FDR started us down the slippery slope. F---er.

A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance” or a "Victor809".

Defeated only once in roughly 300 matches, President Abraham Lincoln was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall Of Fame in 1992.

High heeled shoes were originally created for men.

The first tiger shark to hatch inside of its mother’s womb eats all the other embryos of its siblings. Even scientists admit that this is an unusual mode of survival.

The U.S. Supreme Court has its own private basketball court. It’s been nicknamed, “The Highest Court in the Land”.

Credit card holds.

When you go to the gas station, the ownership puts a temporary hold of anywhere from $100 to $175 on your card, even if you only put in $20, $30 or $50 in the tank.

The hold time varies from a few hours to a few days. I didn’t know that existed. Many others don’t either as people are seeing overdrafts fees and penalties charged when that hold fee is assessed.

The real stinker is the hold when people use debit cards. It's an actual temporary dedcuction from the balance of the account, and can easily turn into overdrafts...

All can be avoided if you you walk your lazy arse inte the store and hand the clerk your card before pumping... The holds ONLY apply if you use the card terminal in the pump itself.

You know that. Now I know that.
Yesterday I did not. It should be widely shared.

Just another case of protecting banks before people.
Unless we are to believe bank software isn’t sophisticated enough to be able to determine whether we have the funds in our account. Seems when i use an atm and ask for $100, it connects to my account to confirm I have the money (takes 30 seconds) and I get my money.

It’s simply a dirty deal between gas stations and banks.

not sure if that practice happens in CA gas stations...haven't seen it...

Phoebe Cates is of Russian Jewish, and one quarter Chinese decent.

Leaned not too long ago that Judge Reinhold was actually holding a large accessory in the bathroom that Phoebe was not expecting. Her reaction in the final cut of the scene was genuine surprise

The first episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by George Carlin.

An actual research study commissioned by Guinness found that an estimated 162,719 pints of Irish stout go to waste every year… via mustaches. The study found that 0.56 milliliters of Guinness get trapped in the average beard or mustache with each sip. And it takes about 10 sips to finish a pint.

An estimated 92,370 Guinness consumers every year in the UK have facial hair. Assuming they consume on average 180 pints each a year, the total cost of wasted Guinness annually is about $536,000.

May be time to shave again

shoulda read the whole post...urp.

I miss me.

I saw it happen once, freshman year of college.
Kid said he had done it many times...true story.

I was left wondering why he was none too bright though.

The US and the world is getting older quickly. It is projected that one in five Americans will be 65 or older by 2030 and the number of 100 year olds should grow from 90,000 today to at least 3,000,000 by 2100.

Hawaii is moving closer to Alaska by 7.5cm every year
