    - Juggle kids, work, and friends, have dinner ready by 6pm every night, and blow your husband at least once a week. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 19:25 2
      - I think that's a different Red Book. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 11, 19:26 1
        
        "oh, that's different.... nevermind." -- nm - Max Oct 11, 19:27

  - I'm not watching so I don't how how he comes across, but it sounds like he's loaded to bear with facts. -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 19:15 1
    - He's strong with occasional veering into overdoing it. So... basically, he's being Biden. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 19:19
  - that was glaringly bad. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 11, 19:11 1
    - She's gonna get a smack if she gets lippy. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 19:12
- I very much hope the president is getting the same prep. - TWuG Oct 11, 19:09 6
