Hillary Bassett Ross takes me into her living room where she shows me a dozen or more canvasses she’s created, most in the past few weeks. Different sizes and shapes, the acrylic paintings glow in warm, rich hues. Life as an artist is still pretty new for Bassett Ross.
“The term that for some reason comes to mind, and it’s kind of a soccer thing, is ‘I’m finding my feet.’ And...
Organic food found to be no healthier →

Well no duh. It’s still food, it just has less chemicals.
That is exactly how I felt about these “new findings after extensive research over several years.” I guess people miss understand organic. I just go for organic because it more then likely has less chemicals (you still have to be smart, not all organic is good).
It has been so hot in Seattle that socks with sandals guy is questioning the socks.

Stewie is Amazing.
Olivia: You are the weakest link, goodbye. ------
Stewie: Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!
