but running a business is still hard work in my definition.

Absolutely, and creating a successfully business is a helluva accomplishment. I have a lot of admiration for you and anybody who's managed to create a profitable business.

The next part doesn't have anything to do with the above.

I don't know Bloomberg's story, but it's not really about that, there's this idea that massive wealth inequity is just fine because the rich have earned that money through hard work and the poor are poor because they are lazy, that's just not how the world works. The way Bloomberg talks about his wealth makes it sound like he doesn't realize that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Our wings are not tired.

Harsh words and 40 months. Oh well, whether it was 40 years or 40 months he will still be pardoned.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ate at a tea room place. English run. had soup and salad, very good. They use vintage dishes all mix match and have vintage tables and chairs all mix match and I will eat there often. They also sell English foodstuffs so if anyone comes to visit and wants double cream or canned Heinz beans - I've got you covered.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love places like that, msbelle

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did Tom Scola ever go to the doctor??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yep. The doctor told me it was flu, and then proceeded to lecture me about my blood pressure for fifteen minutes.

EDIT: I'm at work now, mostly because I'm tired of my apartment, plus they're working on the plumbing and heating in my building today.

I hope you're feeling better, Tom. I was just wondering about that fever.

Finally looked at your car picture, Gud - pretty!
