by David G. McAfee
SpinnyNuNu

What a snowflake. That guy was 100% correct. Basing laws on the Bible is exactly like Sharia law in the Middle East.

Steve Deace couldn't refute a valid point about God in our government, so he just ran away from the scene.

Hubert de Givenchy | c. 1963 • • • Coral with matching glass...

SpinnyNuNu

It’s so pretty



Hubert de Givenchy | c. 1963
• • •
Coral with matching glass beads is applied in high relief on the armature of a minimalist Givenchy silhouette. A princess-seam dress skimming the torso, but flaring to the hem, is almost severe, but it is rendered rococo and ornate by the surface treatment. Givenchy’s special trait was to find an equilibrium between excess and the reductive. An austere form supports a heavily encrusted embroidery, making a gown that works both as an extravagance and as a spartan design.

Travel complaints

by noreply@blogger.com (Minnesotastan)
"These complaints are all taken from a survey from Thomas Cook and ABTA, revealing 20 of the most ridiculous complaints holidaymakers made to their travel agent."
2: "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."

3: "The beach was too sandy."

4: "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

6: "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

12: "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

13: "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It only took the Americans three hours to get home."

14: "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."

19: "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

20: "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
More at the link. I suspect some of the respondents are trolling Thomas Cook.
