Barney Frank's sister

Ann Lewis was on during Tom Roberts' show.

Was it her?

She's usually very articulate and smart.

The only Bernie tee shirt I've seen

was on an older gentleman at the Y wearing it.

I'm sure there are lots of Bernie tees in Austin, but the Y is my main destination.

My noise issue is little kids who never just talk

but yell everything.

I spend a lot of time in the pool area of our YMCA. The kids are incredibly loud there, which I understand because they're having fun, but in the locker rooms they shout and yell everything they say.

I am usually listening to a recorded book or a podcast and I literally can't hear my recording when they are in the locker room.

I wonder if they are so loud because their parents don't respond to them until the decibels have risen a few notches.

When my kids were little, I reminded them in public places that no one except me came there to hear them. We always had a lot of fun together without excessive noise.

Meanwhile, has anybody ever measured the decibel level of public toilets flushing? They are so loud they hurt my ears.

Laura Pack Your Bags

I loved that.

I think she changed it to Laura, Pour Me a Drink. Love that one, too.
