HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2022:

I've never felt the need to have one, they take up too much floor space, and I don't like recliners either. If you want a nap go to the bedroom. However, Wiki: The modern chaise longue was first popularized during the 16th century in France. They were created by French furniture craftsmen for the rich to rest without the need to retire to the bedroom. It was during the Rococo period that the chaise longue became the symbol of social status and only the rarest and most expensive materials were used in their construction. Today, the chaise longue is seen as a luxury item for the modern home. They are often used to complement a home's décor such as living or reading rooms, or as a stylish boudoir chair for bedroom seating.

Sooo, young and naive, and Active Duty USArmy in the late 90s and early 80s. I was not allowed to date in HS, very restricted. I got away from the obsessive supervision of my step parent, and into the relative freedom of life in the barracks, AND a huge abundance of men and scarcity of women... I was young and foolish for too many years. From previously done calculations I'm way above average. However, post divorce and post pandemic, and just too tired of the process, my 5 year average now is likely average or lower than average. Likely very much lower than average.

I looked at those involved and told them they are not worth dying for. And Arkansas, I will drive miles out of my way to never go through that state. I have never had a good experience there.

In general I don't care what becomes of my mortal remains, they won't be me any longer. I want my kids to do what gives them peace. Ideally, having a tree growing from what is left of me sounds like a good idea if it is affordable. I'd rather they have what money I have left rather than spending it on getting rid of the corpse.

I am not blocked by the paywall, so for your reading pleasure. You're welcome. By Tom Bonier Mr. Bonier is a Democratic political strategist and the C.E.O. of TargetSmart, a data and polling firm. I’ve watched Americans in recent years acclimate to some very grim realities. Especially since the ascension of Donald Trump, numerous tragedies and extreme policies have been met with little political consequence: schools targeted by mass murderers, immigrants treated as subhuman and autocratic regimes around the globe affirmed as allies. While Mr. Trump did fail in his re-election bid, a swing of just over 20,000 votes in the three states with the narrowest margins would have produced a win for him, and Democrats hold razor-thin majorities in the House and the Senate. In the weeks following the leak of a draft ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which all but guaranteed the end of abortion protections under Roe v. Wade, it initially seemed this pattern would hold. About three weeks after the leak, a CNN analyst claimed that “the Republican wave is building fast” heading into the midterm elections. In late May, the highly respected election analysts at the Cook Political Report increased their estimate of how many House seats the G.O.P. would gain. The discussion was not focused on whether the November general election would be a “red wave” but rather just how big of a wave it would be. But once the actual Dobbs decision came down, everything changed. For many Americans, confronting the loss of abortion rights was different from anticipating it. In my 28 years analyzing elections, I’ve never seen anything like what’s happened in the past two months in American politics: Women are registering to vote in numbers I’ve never witnessed. I’ve run out of superlatives to describe how different this moment is, especially in light of the cycles of tragedy and eventual resignation of recent years. This is a moment to throw old political assumptions out the window and to consider that Democrats could buck historic trends this cycle. One of the first big signs that things had changed came from Kansas. After voters there defeated a constitutional amendment that would have removed abortion protections in the state in a landslide, I sought to understand how activists could have accomplished such an astounding upset. While it takes several weeks for state election officials to produce full reports on who voted in any given election, there was an immediate clue. I looked at new voter registrants in the state since the June 24 Dobbs decision. As shocking as the election result was to me, what I found was more striking than any single election statistic I can recall discovering throughout my career. ...
