3 doses per person, per day. Including toddlers. The second half of that article is the part that makes me want to scream obscenities. The state regulation mechanism was completely useless. Nobody wanted to monitor this. Nobody cared.

I don’t have any strategies except set ground rules for your games, with one ground rule of “character takes damage at 30 minutes late, dies if the player no-call, no shows.” DM gets to be the bastard. Your game, your rules, and shit like that is not okay under any circumstances.

I’m interested in hearing your results. That’s my field (developing PTSD therapeutic protocols from the neuropsych/cognitive behavioral side) and I have a personal interest (same dx, same cause).

Both. Either. When the cry needs to happen, it doesn’t matter what’s gonna get it going. Today it was a rescue puppy commercial on Twitter, then a book I’m listening to.

A black sugar scrub is the best I’ve found. I’ve got two - Skin Food Black Sugar and Freeman Black Sugar and Charcoal. I use them no more than 2x a month and sparingly (also an old, the Ives Apricot did a fucking number on my skin in the late 80s, so I avoided all scrubs for years) but sugar scrubs are gentle. I use a…

Al Franken’s Giant of the Senate. I’ve cried at least four times, laughed many more, and I want to draft him. I know he’ll be 69 in 2020. I know he doesn’t want to run. But he’s both practical and politically smart, and he would be really, really, really good there.

It’s the app. So... spouse works in an industry that uses a lot of anonymized social media data and localization. NextDerp is one of the most hated ones out there precisely because it gives a 24/7 platform to the asshole who monopolizes an HOA meeting. (Boulder is the center of that sort of data analysis.) NextDerp…

Alimony. That’s probably the condition that keeps the check incoming now that Tiffany is a legal adult and in graduate school.

See, I translate MM’s statement as, “I printed it out at the highest resolution onto premium canvas, and spent the last twenty-four hours grinning and orgasming at the vision of my wildest hopes and dreams come true, but if I say that to you, Sweet Journalist, my kid’s going to get the shit, so let’s pretend I’m a…

Kellyanne stole it. That’s where his chin went.

Assuming best case scenario, these girls were menaced then witnessed, within 2-3 yards, their attacker pull a knife and open the throats of three people who were trying to protect them and spent half a lifetime in a few moments certain that they were next. And are now being stalked and threatened by feral cyber…

Not quite. The super-complicated cakes can be done with tasty, not dry, not hard cake, but nobody wants to pay for it. One of my sibs is a baker, and her portfolio cakes were all deliciously, perfectly, brilliantly edible, but she can’t make a living because nobody wants to pay her for the cost of doing the work…

He wanted it to go the other way - he got the popular, she got the electoral. That way everyone would know he was loved, he would have all the time to complain about the stupid system, and none of the work.

He looks like her XY clone. So... there’s that.

I have a lot of issues with my childhood faiths*, but the quality of my Jesuit educators and religious figures is not one. One of my confessors told me that about half of his students end up atheist (like me), because if he was not teaching doubt and independence, he wasn’t doing his job right. He also taught me the…

To be fair... potica are legitimately one of the foods of the gods, and I’d be swapping recipes with anyone who knew how to make them, too. (Traditional is like streudel, filled with nuts, honey, and cinnamon, so it tastes like a perfect mashup of fresh Danish and those cinnamon fried almonds from street fairs and…

Irish Coffee for breakfast with a side of Tequila Sunrise. Mimosas in midmorning. Three martini lunch. Bloody Mary at tea time. Three wines for supper, cordials and coffee, and a nightcap.

I would probably lose my nieces. My sister (their mom) would probably want to move north or west or both, but her gold-bugging, conspiracy-theory, gunnut spouse would demand they stay in the South. Right now, my girls have a very good chance of GTFO’ing after high school.

They’re trying to provoke an incident. And the only one too stupid to see it is their orange puppet.
