I can't find a way to regain the way to get that box on the bottom which says "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. I'm open to any other suggestions.

I find it interesting that this happened to a 67 year-old. Though alcohol probably played a major role, I wonder if there was a neurological condition as well? I hope the press keeps us up-to-date in this matter. He was sitting in the first class cabin, so this is not the typical Frontier Airlines/Spirit Airlines drunken brawl by people not used the flying on commercial flights.

ABC NewsUnruly passenger arrested after being restrained with duc...A man was arrested for unruly behavior on an American Airlines flight causing it to divert to Baltimore, Thursday night, according to the airline and the FBI."A man was arrested for alleged unruly behavior on an American Airlines flight causing it to divert to Baltimore on Thursday night, according to the airline and investigators. Arthur Lundeen, 67, of Arizona, was restrained to his seat with duct tape and his hands were restrained with zip ties, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, which arrested him after the plane landed. The incident took place on American Airlines flight AA 618, which took off from Dallas and was en route to Newark, according to the FBI and the airline..." My main question is--why did the captain divert the flight from Newark to Baltimore? EWR is just 167 miles from BWI. The difference in flight time was a matter of minutes. Because one passenger can't handle his liquor, the captain punished every other passenger in the plane, plus the passengers in future flights that plane would have taken. The cost for that 167 mile diversion must have been staggering--not just for the passengers, but for the airline as well. Am I missing something, or was there a valid reason for landing the plane at BWI instead of EWR??

I tried three different browsers--same problem.

No, I logged in and out and it's still happening. If I want to attach a photo, I have to find a hosting site and just send the link of the photo from the other site.

I'm not getting the prompt. Maybe I need to log in and log out?

Unless I start a new topic, I don't see a place to attach a file/photo from my files. In the past, there was a prompt to "choose files...".

😬 I dislike vapes/e-cigs as much as anyone. That being said, 5 years in prison for possession of a vape is one of the most preposterous laws I've heard in my life. Ridiculous sentences such as these take potentially productive citizens out of the workforce, and must be very costly. Aren't there any movements to make laws more reasonable? This just seems silly. AI Overview: Approximately 0.43% of the Thai population is currently incarcerated. According to the latest data from the World Prison Brief and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Thailand’s prison population rate stands at 428 prisoners per 100,000 national inhabitants. Key Structural Facts Total Inmate Count: The total number of prisoners reached 301,020. This represents a 7% increase from the previous year. Global Ranking: Thailand has the highest incarceration rate in Southeast Asia and consistently ranks among the top 15 highest incarceration rates globally. Primary Driver: An overwhelming majority (roughly 73%) of the prison population is incarcerated due to strict anti-drug legislation...

Milo describes how the trauma left him "weeping like an old woman" here: Oh, how the self-righteous has fallen!

Well, at least they don't shove the elderly aside, but it's still shocking to hear that. Parisians have the reputation for being rude, but I've seen people give up their seats for the elderly on the Paris Metro--and not necessarily only those designated for the elderly.

A lot of it depends on where you are. I was shocked at the behavior of Chinese youth, especially in the subways of Beijing and Shanghai. Young adults would run in front of the elderly to get seats. In one instance, which I'll probably remember as long as I live, I saw two young Chinese men actually shove an old lady aside to get to a seat first! In all of my years and all the countries I've visited--and that's quite a few--I've never seen anything like this. I had thought that Chinese tradition was to respect elders, though from what I witnessed, that probably only applies to elders in their own families.

Another one bites the dust! 😀 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj06jgq62v9o "British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is awaiting deportation. Yiannopoulos, 41, a former editor of Breitbart News and onetime employee of rapper Kanye West, appears to be held in Louisiana, according to ICE's inmate registry. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said he "was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing", and will remain in custody pending deportation... He posted in 2025: "We have got to deport millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters. "Yiannopoulos also advocated on social media for "on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally"."

He's still at it. I received another e-mail today: "Hey! It's Sky- Firstly, I wanted to say THANK YOU to each of you who has decided to support me on Patreon! You have all really made this space something special that I cherish. A lot. SO MUCH. ❤️ So.. now for the not-so-fun updates (since I told you I would update you here first...). My car engine has recently died and I am out of a way to get around LA. I remember saying that if I was without a car, I would go home. I would leave LA. That's been a huge mental wall to break through and I'm so confused as to what to do next. I don't have the funds to fix my car engine or to get through this month's rent. But I'll figure it out. Sell what I can. Will make more posts etc., but wanted to open up about my delay with posts and updates... I have work tonight, but care about you all very much. Thank you for following me this far. :3 (more family/health stuff is happening too - might talk on that too, but for now... this is the most i can share <3)" Meanwhile, his Facebook and Instagram stories are full of posts of his partying all over the place, travels, etc. Wouldn't a person of even less than average intelligence be able to figure out he's BS'ing? Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, his begging must be fooling some people because he keeps doing it. https://www.instagram.com/yoskylerseymour/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/YoSkylerSeymour/

Yes, that was the country.

That other website used to be completely whack-o about it also. I don't know if they still are (haven't participated in years). I once posted a picture of a shirtless hunk, and got banned for a month because his clothed minor son was also in the photo (which I picked up on the hunk's own Facebook page). I'm not sure it's just a western thing. I remember reading a sign in what I seem to remember being in a southeastern Asian country. The sign stated that under no circumstances were children allowed in any photo which foreigners took (obviously directed at foreigners, since written in English). Wokeness can go overboard, as in this instance. Of course, sometimes wokeness is called for. It's difficult to believe some people at Target thought this was a good idea: "Target’s costume cleared design, approval, photography and publication before social media pointed out the racist imagery, meaning the cultural review apparently began after the product went viral."

What a classy woman she was--especially given her origins. I can't imagine anyone disliked Dolly.

Well, one of the two bottles is Charles Shaw Red Blend. I guess we could try cooking with it...

As for gifting, I usually do bring something when arriving as a guest, though, if asked what our guests might bring, I tell them that their presence is enough of a gift. Occasionally, someone will bring a wine so cheap I frankly don't know what to do with it. I wouldn't drink it myself, much less offer it to friends. I wouldn't re-gift such a wine, either. I guess I could probably just pour them down the toilet and place the bottle in the recycling bin. I suppose that a homeless person might appreciate a cheap wine, but giving it to them seems in poor taste.

We can usually find a friend who'll stay at our place to house/dog sit. Worst-case scenario is that our vet has boarding facilities, if we reserve in advance. We've only needed to do that once. Strangely enough, our Frenchie loves the experience, but the Labrakita does not. (Yes, we do compensate the friends) The most commonly-used friend is "Lindoro," discussed in prior strings.

Funny that you say that! My husband actually does have a Frenchie from a prior relationship (a scoundrel who conned people out of their money and is now serving time in federal prison for fraud). More to my personality, I have a street rescue mutt. She looks and behaves like a half black labrador/half akita. Maybe a blakita. Here we are walking the dogs in Runyon Canyon Park.

Yes, they sent a thank-you text. I was trying to impress with fancy food (and wine), not with fancy place settings. Casual but caring is how I like to think of it (after all, they were wearing T-shirts and shorts). They seemed pleased, and my husband and I certainly were pleased, with how the evening went. I was also worried that the conversation would be more one-sided, but it was a genuine, caring give and take. There's another famous person that I've had over (not with lobster), and my husband isn't interested in seeing him again because he spent the whole evening talking about himself. He did come to one of our recent parties (June), and I tried to help him along by advising him "Ask my husband how our Danube trip last month went." Unfortunately, this socially awkward man actually went up to my husband later and said "Unicorn asked me to ask you about your latest trip"! Oh, well. 🫠

The meal wasn't over at the time the photo was taken. Part of one lobster tail was uneaten, and was given to one of our actual doggies. We didn't serve gravy with the lobster, but there were dipping bowls with seasoned melted butter. There were flowers behind the table (behind myself, who took that photo). As you can see, the meal was casual (albeit extra tasty). No one (but my hubbie) was dressed to impress. I'd rather impress my friends with how I take care of them than with external appearances. They said they looked forward to getting together again.
