LOLOLOLOL. Love this.

This is giving me life!

I read some crazy IC people on Twitter. They’re all saying that Ryan is compromised. So far, they’ve been spot-on with a ton of things and way before any of the media outlets have published.

That’s the only way I want to shop: In Paris and left to my own devices.

Yes!

I def think there are more interesting angles than what we know. It’s rumored that Pence was in the room when Trump essentially ordered his minions to write out the recommendations for firing Comey, so he may be accountable on obstruction as well.

It’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a WH spokesperson. Not Bernie. They should really use both her last names any time she’s referenced.

I’ve been obsessively keeping up with this to the point that’s it’s squashed any potential productivity for the last two days. I need a break from the news cycle, but only to make more popcorn.

That sounds harrowing, to say the least, and I’m so sorry you had to deal with it on an already vulnerable day.

It’s Murphy’s Law. As soon as you do need someone, there isn’t a soul in sight.

I feel you. My first stop, on the rare occasion I’m in a mall, is anywhere with wine. Two glasses and my social anxiety is manageable. But that is not a healthy habit, goddamnit!

Yes! They are the worst about fake over-friendliness.

It isn’t that rare. Haviland had something like 60,000+ patterns; mine is the Varenne pattern and pretty common I think. It’s really a bit fussy for my taste and would look odd in my dining room and with my general house aesthetic (all handed down or thrifted, kinda boho, scandi, mid-mod and traditional mash-up).

Seriously, my entire attitude when shopping retail in-person: Never talk to me. Leave me the fuck alone until I’m ready to pay.

I have four boxes of inherited Haviland china in the basement that I’m scared to death to use because of that sink. I’m jealous that you can actually use your china. My mother would kill me if I broke a single piece of it. (Also, I’m 38 and still don’t want to incur Mom’s wrath.)

That’s a good tip!

I just laughed so hard at that. And now I’m crying.

This is the first I’ve heard of anyone doing this. Wow. Just, wow.

Thank you!

Each time it was a crystal wine glass that knocked the wrong way or slipped. Also, we have a salvaged porcelain farmhouse sink and judging by my own experience they must be less forgiving than stainless steel. Just my anecdotal study.
