That's not really true, landofree! A woman can be strong, confident, physically active, able to take care of/defend herself, and still be beautiful and feminine. Come on now! What's there not to get?
Cream of Tomato soup is also great. Split Pea and Ham soup with shredded carrots and potatoes in it sounds delicious, especially after baked ham, or with ham sandwiches. Mmmmm :p
More and more, canned soups are being found to not be very safe, either.
Homemade soup is way better.
La Numba
Lord of the Flies, especially the ending, when the rest of the gang takes Piggy's glasses away from him, he can't see,and he ends up getting killed by a flying boulder. The book, too, is rather depressing.
Oh, yes. I forgot scallops, mussels, and calamari (on occasion). Red Snapper is okay. Clams--not so much any more.
Oh, yummy! I do love seafood.
Alaskan Wild-caught Sock-eye or King Salmon
Swordfish
Lobster
Shrimp
Prawns
Hake
Halibut
Occasionally, when I go out to eat, I enjoy a great fried seafood platter.
Tuna Fish
(I don't eat swordfish or tuna that often, however, because they do have a great deal of mercury in them.)
Coffee has never been my thing. I admittedly have never liked it.
Green tea is my thing.
Yup! Creamy cheese and broccoli soup is yummy.
So is cream of Mushroom soup, as well.
I like home-made thick soups myself. My mom used to make the best chicken soup in the world, complete with matzoh balls, and other great stuff! Yum! Great for colds, too.
Home-made borscht, as opposed to the store-bought, bottled borscht, is excellent, as well. My mom made a great borscht back in the day, as well.
French Onion soup, nice and thick, with parmesan cheese in it.
I also like miso soup.
Campbell soups are too salty, and not that flavorful, either.
Boulliobase--yum yum.
Cioppino-very much like boulliobase--also yummy.
Tonya Harding, in real life, got involved in the master-minding and planning of an incident that resulted in a potentially crippling physical injury to a rival figure-skating competitor, knowingly co-conspired to hinder the investigation and prosecution of Jeff Gillooly and his henchmen, and admitted that in order to avoid getting a jail sentence. She committed a crime, was not smart enough to get away with it, ended up getting caught, and then cried foul.
You're the one who needs a hug, and not the loving, gentle sort of hug, either.
Good points, Otter. Sure, things had started to go downhill in the late summer of 1967, but 1968 was when things really did start to go downhill. Jules Wittcover's book, "The Year the Dream Died: 1968 Revisited Here in America." is an excellent book that provides a great deal of insight about that period.
The years 1968-1971 were one of the nadirs ( points when the quality of life here in the United States, overall, was the lowest) here in this country. The Russians also invaded Czechoslovakia, as well.
Yup. Tonya Harding was short, but muscular.
Nancy Kerrigan was taller, thinner, and yet also was quite muscular. Women figure-skaters often are.
The 1960's, which was supposed to be an era of people really coming together as a community, was really not that kind of an era at all. That idea was clearly a mirage, and it ended quite badly, as we know, and helped give us the present overall atmosphere that's now in this country overall, if one gets the drift. Everybody has the idea that the people at the original 1969 Woodstock festival were super-cool and nice, but that wasn't the case; there were a lot of bad drug trips, a lot of violence, a lot of sexual assaults that went unreported, as was how that was handled back then, and there were several deaths, too; one kid who slept in his sleeping bag to get out of the rain was fatally mowed down by a tractor, another one died of a burst appendix, another from falling off of a scaffold, and one or two others died of heroin overdoses. That was at the Woodstock 1969, and all that was deliberately cut out when it was made into a movie, in order to make it seem like it was special, gentle, and non-violent.
The rolling Stones concert at Altamont, like Woodstock 1969, was the beginning of the end, if one gets the drift. I believe that the Woodstock 1969 festival helped lead to the fiasco at Altamont.
Today's times aren't racist? Yes, they are. Like very...extremely so.
Yes, hiring the Hell's Angels for crowd control and security was a rather stupid and fucked-up act. The Hell's Angels created the kind of atmosphere that made it possible for that kind of concomitant violence to occur.
Actually, Badlands1, I saw something on the internet recently about the Hell's Angels. While it's true that they never used to accept non-whites, especially Blacks and Hispanics, I saw at least a couple of husky-looking African-American guys among them, wearing Hell's Angels Jackets and the wings. That being said, I think that the Hell's Angels' non-acceptance of guys who are non-white may be starting to change somewhat.
Harvey Weinstein was a disgusting, arrogant individual.
Tony Harding's also a disgusting, arrogant individual, for that matter.
Who cares about your struggle?
Margo Robbie wasn't that pretty, nor did she look that good figure-skating in tight clothes, either.
The fact is that almost nobody looks good figure-skating in ultra-tight clothes, especially when their breasts and/or buttocks are exposed or even partially exposed.
