uuumm, NO. No fucking way. If in private you like to skin kittens, if in private you like to diddle little boys, in in private you like to hide corpses in your crawl space then I fucking definitely do care ... as does society. Do any of those hobbies directly affect me? Likely not ... but I sure the fuck do care that…

You are correct, no kids for us. I feel like things would have been much worse with kids.  

It’s not mean. We’re just not meant to spend this much time with one other person. Guessing you don’t have kids? I don’t. But lately I’m wondering if it would have been a great way to break up the monotony of seeing the same person 24/7. Have you listened to Esther Perel’s relationships podcast? I love it because even…

That looks and sounds amazing! I made my Dad (at his request) a strange sort of birthday pie. Lined a tin (base and sides) with a chocolate biscuit crust, then filled it with chocolate and brandy mousse, topped with raspberries and shaved chocolate. It was a LOT but he was thrilled with it.

Did you cook anything this week, or was it just a week where it felt like the world was melting? We did have two nice days with weather in the mid 70s and acceptable dew points, so I got up to more Levant inspired cooking.

I want to thank everybody that sent me name suggestions for my new puppy last Saturday - that was a fun thread! And there were some great ideas as well. I want snacksnacksnacks to know that the name Ruth Bay-er Ginsburg, or Ruthie for short, was at the top of the suggestion list for my beagle mix... but I happened…

Seems like this whole problem could be solved by using cgi to replace Jackman’s butt with Hanna’s .

Most of that movie is forgettable but not Jackman’s butt.

I don’t even understand why something like that is real

Seems like this disease (as all diseases do) has taken out some really decent, joyful people. Can we get a running tally of the real bastards it takes instead? If we can’t look forward to life going back to normal anytime soon, that might at least cheer me up a bit. Like that episode of Call the Midwife where an old…

Your loss, I guess 🤷‍♀️

I keep wondering how he’ll try to escape, but I just don’t see him folding himself up in a music instrument case and mailing himself across the world like Carlos Ghosn. 

I was hoping you would tell us what teenagers DO dress like....

I have bought successfully from two different companies online (Firmoo and Zenni). My son and daughter both bought from Zenni. My daughter also recently bought from Coastal or the other one.

Would it kill her to accept an ounce of blame for running a piss-poor campaign and condemning us all to 4-8 years of Trump? Fuck her and the corporate funded jet she flew in on. She’s was and is part of the problem and the best thing she can do to be part of the solution is to go get lost in the woods again.

Amen, same boat here. 

ugh, the keto diet. tell me again why bananas are bad for me and pepperoni is fine

Perhaps Trump has a case of Migratory Bone Spurs, Foot to Brain*. I looked on WebMD and couldn’t find a list of symptoms, but since he’s so fucking special, perhaps we could name the disease after him.

Don’t you wish that stupidity was painful? Like bone spurs?

I second this. SO many fires. You don’t know true “growing up in the middle of nowhere” boredom in the 90's until you think lighting something on fire would be fun.
