Or maybe it’s Dumbo’s nickname. 

Yes! I forgot who said that so thanks for the cite, but it makes so much more sense this way.

google “gammon.” 

When these people say “Deep State” they mean “the rule of law.” 

I’ve been scuba diving in open, clear water in the Keys and I had to put my full attention on what I was doing in order to not panic. I can’t imagine what this was like. 

He’s 97. The guy is a boor, sure, but how good are you supposed to look at 97? 

That’s a kid sized coffin. 

I live near St. Pete and the Y has swim lessons and sliding scale memberships—I know several people who pay $0-$20/month for memberships and lessons.

She hasn’t really been great since Lost in Translation and then it was because she was a blank canvas for Bill Murray to project his midlife man feelings on to. 

You know why there are DV shelters for women and children? Because WOMEN saw a need and started and run shelters. If you think men need shelters, then start them; don’t expect women to do shit for you. Do it yourself. 

Based on this and your responses to the kitty post, you should re-start Shade Court.

No, he does not. The Manchester bombing didn’t happen to him, it didn’t happen in his hometown, and he had zero relationship to it until he started dating Ariana Grande. That’s just stupid. 

Dude, I feel bad about sending my kid to school with sniffles. If I ignored a staph infection and it resulted in a week-long hospitalization, I’d never forgive myself. 

It is crazy how well this works. There is always baby powder in our beach bag. 

I got married because I didn’t want my parents to make medical decisions for me and we could share medical insurance. 

Yes, well, I have other things to do besides bake, so I am fine with a teaspoon of sugar so making bread is not an all day affair. 1/8 of a teaspoon of some variety of sucrose per serving of bread is not enough to worry about.

From the Chinese carryout next door. It’s the best when you’re a little tipsy. 

And they take 12 hours or more to rise. A teaspoon of sugar/honey/agave/maple syrup/molasses jump starts the yeast and is not a significant amount of sugar on a per serving basis.

My local Goodwill has at least a dozen bread machines at any given time, none priced for more than $8. 

Noosa yogurt containers are the perfect size to freeze chicken stock in. It’s the perfect amount for a sauce, and you can freeze half a dozen, turn the resulting thin, flat pucks out into a ziploc bag and then wash and reuse the containers again. Bonus: the shape means the stock thaws really fast.
