| PotPie Member since: Oct 9, 2022 Threads: 5 Posts: 310 | 30 million people are at risk of flood from continuing rainfall in California which is threatening levees. 70,000 people have been evacuated, many are living in shelters or in cars. 40 of the State's 58 counties are under a state of emergency. A broken levee in Monterey was breached Friday. The forecast calls for more rain in Monterey on Friday, and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/weather/california-atmospheric-river-flood-tuesday/index.html the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Once in awhile a commercial really annoys me and grates on my nerves. Currently it's the Servpro commercial where that guy laughs after they drop a big bag of water on a house. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

currently quite irritated by a commercial for AT&T mobile, where without warning a woman suddenly appears to shout out "Lilly!" as that person walks into view generally speaking, though, I have been quite fascinated by the recent history of commercials involving this personality. After not seeing her anymore after a very successful launch, youthful stage, several years ago, she was brought back using an agency that evidently gave no thought to how she might have changed. Her face was still pretty, but I think she had some babies perhaps in the meantime, and the butt, alas, had gotten a bit big for TV anyway. Briefly, I saw these stages play out: agency panic realizing this, massive overuse of make-up [solving a non-problem], new shots with less make-up but hiding the butt, newer shots with her on a monitor at times square [no butt shot necessary] , and finally now commercials with CGI transformation fixing all these problems! Or is the final step now having someone shout "Lilly" in the beginning to warn you to 'change channels here comes a big butt'? jk I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

The commercial must work I have an AT&T phone I find Lilly quite cute What I can't stand are some of those Progressive commercials with that whole team of actors. I dont have progressive so that commercial ain't working for me. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It's interesting because the person "Gays Against Groomers" refers to a takeover of their community (see other posts too) by a group of a somewhat different kind. ------------------------------------ Gays Against Groomers Mar 23, 2023 Keeping children away from predators is not “hate,” Jeffrey. https://twitter.com/againstgrmrs/status/1639044464818769927?cxt=HHwWjsC-ibeQh78tAAAA ------------------------------------ |
