Down a vehicle and working opposite shifts they asked if I would mind watching their kid a few hours in the morning for two days while one goes to work and the other is waiting to get out.I went over at 6 and we had chocolate milk and cereal on the porch while she told about the dogs eating their chicken off the counter the night before. It appears the story is worth retelling in detail even though I was there when they found it. Somehow a 4 year old has psychic abilities that allows them to piece together every detail of the crime scene after the fact. It was quite the fascinating drama. After that we watched Coraline while she made play-doh ice cream cones before her mom got home.It was actually a pretty relaxing morning and an enjoyable glimps of a life experience I never experienced first hand. I ain't signing up to be a sitter anytime soon, or ever,but it was fun once less

Cheers!
After? I could eat free at Salvation Army chow halls and live in a homeless shelter place for a while.What is the greatest jackpot amount that a slot machine will pay?

(I have sort of liked about two of her songs up to this point and have been highly annoyed by the rest of her stuff -- but this one I REALLY like! Congratulations, Taylor! Ha! Not that she needs my congrats.But anyone telling 'me' to calm down - - that's a good reminder for me.In reality, I've not listened very closely yet to the lyrics and have not watched the video. I love the "Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh" parts with her ascending harmonies:)"You Need To Calm Down" Taylor SwiftEDIT 1!!!!! I had no idea of how GAY the music video is, ha!! EDIT 2 - - that looks like Katy Perry toward the end of video - - I think she and Taylor at one point were sort of fighting with each other or something in'real' life? Good for them to have "calmed down." And it looks actor Ryan Reynolds in there, too, toward the end, painting on a canvas?I have no idea of any of this - - I only now just watched the video for the first time. less

Why it matters: The Trump administration prioritized aid to farms that produced high volumes of specific crops, leaving smaller farms behind, per the study. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) says the findings illustrate a need for "payment caps" on the aid, reports Bloomberg.
By the numbers: The analysis covered $8.4 billion in USDA's Market Facilitation Program payments to more than 563,000 participants between 2018 and this April.
The top 10% of farmers collected 54% of the bailout payments.
82 farmers got $500,000 or more.
In Missouri, the DeLine Farm Partnership received $2.8 million.
The bottom 80% of farmers accepted payments averaging less than $5,000.
What's next: President Trump recently approved another $16 billion in new aid... less

President Donald Trump on Saturday advocated for ASAP Rocky's release from Swedish custody in a call with Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, saying he "personally" vouched for the New York rapper.
"Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative," Trump tweeted.

"Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!" Trump continued.
ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested after voluntarily going to the police in Stockholm for questioning after an altercation three weeks ago during a music festival.
The State Department is aware of the arrest. A spokesperson told POLITICO the department hopes "to see ASAP Rocky and his colleagues back on tour and reunited with friends and family soo... less

If there was a small battery-powered air-con unit that would either plug into the existing air-con system, or have a separate vent, there would be no need for animals to suffer in cars, and people wouldn't have to worry about the security risk of leaving a car unattended with the window part rolled down.
