Someone on TV said, "cove-fee-fee."

It looks like co-feff (French pronunciation) to me. Since it's not a word, you can probably pronounce it as you like.

I think he will resign. Not sure when, but it's coming.

He is obviously in poor health and has a mental impairment of some sort. Unfortunately, we will be stuck with Pence because there will be an appetite for stability after all the trump chaos.

If only these scandals had come out a year ago.

We could have been spared the past 6 months of him and his toxic family and associates.

A lot of this stuff was in print a year ago.... I remember reading about Manafort, Bannon, money-laundering, Atlantic city mafia ties, the Kushners, etc. last summer. But you know... Hillary's emails dominated the news coverage.

Everyone who could have prevented this ---the GOP, the press, the electoral college--- all of them are complicit, IMO.

Wow, he's really having a bad year. nt

That was a fantastic program and a great public service.

Making people aware of the need for kidney donors is so important. Exposing the monsters who would profit from peoples' misery and poor health deserves an award.

I hope this show reaches a wide audience.

BTW, Thank you President Nixon! I never knew that thanks to him, the federal govt. pays for life-sustaining dialysis treatments.

I just went to two May Markets and bought a variety of heirlooms.

I never had luck with Black Krim, so I skipped it this year.

I've had good luck with both AK Traveler and Hillbilly. Not so much with Mr. Stripey, though.

I can't remember what all I bought, but here are a few:

Juliet
Ponderosa
Mountain Merit
Carolina Gold (one of my faves!)
Brandywine
San Marzano
Polish Heirloom
I still need to find some Cherokee Purples.

My husband went bonkers with the hot peppers this year, so I have maybe 18 of those. I still need red bell peppers. I have a LOT of herbs because many are perennial.

This is THE WEEK to plant! Happy gardening!

Does anyone know where I can see a sample ballot for Tuesday's election?

I have searched around on the internet, but I'm unsuccessful so far. Thank you in advance!

I feel bad about American Crime -- I thought it was brilliant. I also loved Timeless, but it suffered from a bad time slot. It was a really appealing and educational show and should have been on when families could view it. I learned about Katherine Johnson on Timeless, before Hidden Figures came out!
