The Cloisters is a great idea for a day out. Probably works better when (if) it’s a sunny day. I went for the first time a couple of months ago. It’s amazing how well they have preserved some of the very old exhibits.
Thick as Thieves originally meant as stupid as a criminal (who presumably had been caught) – head was so dense an idea couldn’t get into it. Now it means ‘tightly knit’.
DH- dunno I see lots of kids riding the train wearing that stuff.
I just think style for men has been sorta blech!
My poor husband always feels defeated after coming home from clothes shopping – like “No I don’t want to wear a Tshirt that’s lime green and pink with a large logo on the front”
“700 NYC Teachers Paid To Do Nothing”
Charges range from insubordination to sexual misconduct and these pieces of shit can’t be fired because of the union.
WTF???? Fire their asses and deal with the union later. Bust the fu*&ing unions.

“pictures of a girl named betty boop with peanut butter on her cootch”
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
dh, those are the types of remarks that rile up benson. 🙁
Expert, thank you! That’s a good one. I’m ashamed to say that I have never been to the Cloisters. Bad cobble, bad! ; )
I saw a piece on PBS about the restoration of the tapestries in the museum. That was pretty fascinating.
