And you also could wear a print of Van Gogh's Starry Night in celebration of all the wonderful astrophotography you've done!!   

That is darkly humorous since if not Animus per se, seven pages of synonyms fit rather snugly to that word.

Of course it was.      Yes!

This is the decision we've been waiting for since December (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/judge-says-desantis-spread-false-information-while-pushing-trans-health-care-restrictions). I kinda want a tee-shirt with an image of Judge Hinkle on it. His record on protecting LGBTQIA+ people from the forces of ignorance has been remarkable.   “Transgender opponents are of course free to hold their beliefs,” Hinkle wrote. “But they are not free to discriminate against transgender individuals just for being transgender. In time, discrimination against transgender individuals will diminish, just as racism and misogyny have diminished. To paraphrase a civil-rights advocate from an earlier time, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”   The "civil-rights advocate from an earlier time" is Dr. King. 

Falls under Common Law Assault which Is "To put someone in reasonable fear of harmful or offensive bodily contact" and we can go back to before King Henry I for Tort law (English Civil for damages) on that one. Goes back just a few centuries.  Criminal law requires another element for assaults to get you jail time.  Go ahead and try for the defense of Excited Utterance (or have a licensed attorney do it for you) if you have threatened someone, but you are going to have to prove that issue. 

Thank you @Piperand Cat for the quick recovery.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

This place is a Team Effort, and we have the right players in the right positions. 

Oh don't thank me @Davie all I could do was point Piper at it and stand back and wait.

Prayers for you both . . . love needs no denomination.

There is no tartan for my surname, even though I am Scottish on my father's side.  But I can wear MacCallum thanks to my grandmother, Stewart by marriage, RCAF because of my military service, Nova Scotia because of where I live, and Pride because of who I am.

Thank you, Petra Jane.

Well, according to our police department, threatening words are still a form of assault, punishable by law.

Good news! Now if the judge could just repair their evil hearts . . . Hah, that's too much to ask.

Thank you!

Your work is appreciated!

All's well that ends well. Thank you all for your patience while this blip was being fixed.  

To paraphrase a movie line, "Hiccups hardly ever happen."  Great work, all of you.  It was a relatively short outage and mostly overnight.      Carolyn Marie

Thank you for all you do to keep this haven for us. Whenever we hit a down period I worry that someone is targeting us to take the site down. And then I realize how wonderful you all are to give us this place to be together.

Seems that the certificate didn’t auto renew and I was unable to figure out how to get it back up. Thank goodness for the support team of Piper and Cat at our hosting company.

I've done this recipe about 10x now.  I'm not liking what the turmeric is doing to my wok, so I'm stopping that.  Chinese don't seem to use it.  I did the Chinese wok thing in the 90's basically every day for the later half of the 90's.  I used a store bought sauce and had it with tortillas and it was wonderful.  I started cooking curries in 2005 and I've been eating curries almost exclusively for the past 8 years or so.  So now I'm trying to combine these two.  I've got the high heat wok burner and that is a keeper.  I'm experimenting with getting a more robust wok thing going and well, this turmeric thing seems to be a lesson.  Not sure about the dill, but the dill sure is tasty!   Just a word of caution about traditional woks and turmeric.
