Glorious is correct. This amazing. A native person should have been the first secretary of the interior. (my inner zealot says “and then tell us all to go the hell home”).

True about teachers. Example is my daughter’s class room teacher’s approach to todays non-snow day.

The first friend in my group of friends to have a baby gave me a nursing mom kit. The best thing in it was a thermos and the reminder to grab a glass of water BEFORE you sit down. Because let down triggers that thirst that makes you willing to crawl across a desert of glass.

So unless you are from Jersey it’s hard to believe how different parts of the state that are a few miles from each other are... though it makes more sense in the context of the most densely populated state (even more dense because that average includes about 25% of the land area which was taken out of development in…

I’ve been tearing everything wrong my whole life. I even stopped tearing and just use scissors now.

I was going to point out the number thing... and the video is very informative. If you are a huge geek like me it was fun to watch. The other videos in that series are also kind of interesting. My favorite part is that part of the reason it was so hard to break was because Zodiac made transposition errors. Which is…

I have always worked “from home” at the evening/middle of the night hours. I used to do it in Starbucks and follow up in my car to complete however much I could get done. Then covid started here in basically late february.

Yes. I’m an entomologist (go figure) and silverfish creep me out. Silverfish, earwigs, bedbugs and bot flies are about the only things that give me the heebie jeebies. Fortunately I will probably never see a bot fly in real life.

I will say that the overall tone of this “non-pology” ™ reads like a person in 12-step recovery who is making amends but hasn’t quite gotten it right.

Yeah... and to the extent that Daniel Day-Lewis did the stay in character thing he is known for it was most talked about in roles where he was playing real people and/or for a performance than required him to use his whole body in a way that is not normal for him. In those cases training your body (or for Lincoln your…

I will say the sign of a well written piece is that I had basically no interest in seeing any movies, let alone this one and now I really want to see it. (I have extremely severe dry eye and ocular rosacea. Because of that I use my eyes for very few things. I read this website sometimes, work, and taking care of…

I’m just here for Jordan’s amazing dog (though usually I am here for the hacks/wacks)

I particularly like the use of the verb stuffed in this sentence. I’m not sure why but maybe it represents the amount of effort I feel like I can commit to any one hurdle right now.  It’s very 2020

Yeah. No matter what the federal response was people are responsible for their actions (isn’t that what the conservatives are always saying that drives them to try to shrink the government?).

This may be state related too. My state has funds to help employers of essential workers follow what are currently state regulations that say they must pay employees for quarantining and may not count it against their sick/vacation time. Because it is in the interest of the public to have people actually follow the…

Blender is the method in our family.

hmm.  my cranberry sauce is just boiled cranberries and sugar anyway (since I love cranberries so much adding other flavors feels wrong)... I never have any left over, but I would make some just for this idea. Nice.

no.. it’s much softer and smoother. no chunks or chips of ice. no extra liquid (until it starts to melt). you eat it with a spoon from a cup. (like a small sized waxed paper soft-drink cup, or a really big dixie cup,... that sort of size/shape.)

I know that is what is killing me. PA tried to be allowed to start counting early, but it got blocked. So now if they don’t somehow count millions of ballots between 8pm and midnight it is all illegitimate. The only thing republicans can do to win is to count as few votes as possible. That is historically true, and…

I mean, I was just going to post about how trump supports shut down THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY today and a bridge in/around NY.
