I hate these sorts of articles. My previous insurer issued separate cards for me and for each of my children, plus one of them has a Medicaid card. And can’t just leave them at home except for scheduled appointments, because I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to head to a hospital or doctor last minute.

That’s what I was thinking watching this: it would be great for the military, refugee camps, people dealing with natural disasters, etc. But why the heck market this as a fun and awesome alternative to regular food for ordinary situations?

Argh, now the book posts are done as slideshows?

It is not, but O’Malley was very good in it.

Ooh, thanks for the tip.

Came here for this. I adore this show.

It was a dilemma deciding whether to read this article; Barsanti’s writing is ... off-putting, but Brendan Fraser is a delight.

This is the problem I have. I get lots and lots of calls from different school officials, teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, etc. and post-pandemic, I have no idea what number or even area code they might call from. So I have to answer all calls. (Letting the legit calls go to voice mail is not ideal; sometimes I…

Through that whole scene I was mentally yelling at Allison to get Neil to spell out exactly what he thought he heard, because that is such a sitcom trope.

I prefer the Nero Wolfe method -- stick it in the hottest-possible oven and roast until the husks are brown. It has a lovely deep flavor akin to grilling.

Not to mention, there’s a difference between “I don’t want to release this now/in the near future” and “I never want the public to hear this.”

My favorite Prince story.

Maybe those are the ribbons from toe shoes? In any event, I love ballet so I will probably read this, generic cover be damned.

I’m glad to have your retroactive permission to swap paprikas, because that’s what I do; I never know what kind of paprika my husband is going to come home with. Except the Aleppo Paprika, which is his favorite; I’m a total wimp about heat.

That was stressing me out so much. And then he opened the fridge! And grabbed the wine! Cross contamination everywhere!

This sounds excellent.

I really liked that scene with Kurt. I did not want them to be another example of the core relationship — superficially nice (or goofy) man manipulates woman into thinking the status quo is ok. Patty may be stuck like Allison is, but it’s for different reasons.

I played the linked video and my cat gave me a dirty look, so maybe it’s in the ear of the listener?

Then there are the sub-subgenres. I don’t just read cozy mysteries, I read cozy mysteries that center around a craft like needlework or quilting.  There are romance subgenres that are just as narrowly-tailored, too.

Variations on the Body and New Teeth both sound excellent; adding them now to my library wish list.
