I wish. If I want to stay off insulin and other meds, that 6g of sugar is roughly a quarter of my daily sugar allowance. It’s a noticeable bump in my blood sugar. That said, there are days when Cuban, Egg, or Kafe Ron, or ca phe sua da are a requirement, and well worth the trade!

Yup, now a head in a jar, just 4 jars away from Nimoy and Shatner.

Winter’s 95% over here in the Pacific Northwest. The girls are just fine, and will be joined by several others.

Must be proactive karma. My banana just smooshed while I was trying to peel it, and I haven’t watched the trailer yet.

Mine knocked over the candle and tried to burn the place down...

Whenever I see that image of Neanderthal Man, I immediately think of Mel Brooks. I’m betting he’s actually more than 2,000 years old.

So the pincers are used for squeezing his grapes?

You have relinquished your “c” rights by condensing “Doctor Emilio Lizardo” to “Dr Emilio Lizardo.”

James Mattis and his team are the only folks in the administration who strike me as being pragmatic, level-headed, and honorable. While I don’t always agree with them, they all show thought behind what they do, and a degree of respect for our servicemen and women.

Our second anniversary dinner was fast food. I was working a job that me carry a pager and be on call when there was nobody else in the office. A co-worker had recently quit, and OF COURSE I get paged around 4 p.m. on our anniversary. I ended up working until 10 p.m. Called my wife from work before I left, in case…

I wish I could do that. Our corporate policy is 10%. They haven’t come after me for 20% yet, but I’ve had a nastygram from accounts payable.

Glad to live in Oregon where our minimum wage for waitstaff is the same as for everybody else. Moderately attentive and personable? “Round up, double it, and move the dot,” with a two buck minimum if all I’m doing is having coffee at the counter or table.

I really don’t care about Evil!Burnham, but I’d love to see Good!Lorca, snarky comments intact when his crew over-explains (“I still don’t give a damn.”) or fails to live up to expectations (“It’s only a yellow alert,” when Tyler is slow to show on the bridge). He and Stamets have been my favorites all season. Saru is…

Also happiest with the California olive oils. Costco’s Kirkland is surprisingly good, as well.

You assume they’re all telling the truth. I certainly wouldn’t put it past Ren to lie about Rey’s parentage in order to crush her resistance.

And it grows worse! Even before social media, many people never grew out of using reflected appraisal as *the* milestone for their self-worth. It used to be constrained primarily within a person’s social circles, which you either elected to join or never outgrew.

Bright wasn’t a good movie, and it wasn’t a bad movie. It was mediocre, with the possible exception of Edgerton’s acting. Smith showed up looking like he had bad wind, and went through the motions. Let’s face it, there have been many Hollywood “blockbusters” that make this flick look good in comparison.

Often there are cards and standing placards all over a room. On a recent trip, the main room had a standing placard for each of these.

I’ve always wondered why Amazon didn’t just buy Sears/Kmart while they were viable. They might still be, many smaller towns have a franchised Sears Hometown locations, while Target is in larger towns.

Yes, that one gram of sodium makes a difference. I used to have high blood pressure, and get serious headaches. Tracking my diet, it turned out that the headaches and blood pressure spikes correlated with when I was consuming too much sodium, often around only a gram over US RDA. Correlation is not causation, yeah,…
