Your recipe sounds great, and I’d even be open to the apple which has never even crossed my mind in the past - but I cannot countenance sweet relish. I love dill pickles, and I love to chop em up and add em to my tuna sammies.

You almost had it right but you forgot to replace the sweet relish with dill relish, and save the apple slices for dessert.

What’s annoying is that the system expects a bunch of ninth graders to magically infer that Hester is punishing the town for its hypocrisy with her presence, and that Dimmesdale’s weakness is his own inability to admit to his human lusts, that Pearl is being raised as a Judas Goat, etc., simply by reading the text…

That book annoyed the hell out of me in high school. I remember wondering, why doesn’t Hester just leave this dumbass town if they all think she’s a whore? Why doesn’t Dimmesdale just tell everyone he’s Pearl’s father?

Ventura gives Lindell a full nelson using a MyPillow.

Ventura for the win.

This is why we can never move ahead: no matter what progress we make it will never be enough for some people. Personally, I’m still happy that we chose Biden over an insane wanna-be dictator.

Here is going to be every left wing’s blog for the next four years.

One step, then two, then eventually you get across the bridge. It can’t be done with one leap. Savor small victories folks, they are the things that keep us going and show we can make positive changes, no matter how small.  That is progress. 

“... a step in the right direction, but not time to leap for joy just yet” describes pretty much everything that Biden will likely accomplish in the next 2 years.

...”I would really welcome them to sue me because I have all the evidence against them.”

I’m going to start hoarding some old Jackson 20s so in ten years I can sell them to racists for $50 each.

I ALSO got a cold last week. Somehow. I’m not even sure. I kept my sense of taste and what not, but got a test anyway, no covid.

Ugh. I hate being sick. I don’t smoke anymore, but when I did I used to dread the change in taste of my morning cig — the taste that told me I was about to venture into 2 weeks of crap. Since quitting I don’t have a taste marker like that to identify when I’m sick (it always starts with a head cold), so it’s usually a…

yep, every scratchy through and achy muscles have had me worried about covid.  Not enough to get tested, but enough that I have worn my mask in the house and stayed in my room.  

I’m heartbroken, internet friends.

Oh, it’s a thing. Every time I sneeze or clear my throat part of my brain goes THIS IS IT.

Totally get it. I currently have the worst sinus infection in more than 10 years. Two rounds of antibiotics and the side effects of the second round are debilitating beyond belief. Extreme tiredness, vomiting, intestinal cramping, dizziness, heartburn and the most restless sleep i have ever experienced. I start…

Shelter Cat Update!

A couple of weeks ago, many of you sent well-wishings and hugs to me for my dad, who was in the ICU due to complications from cancer treatment. They were needed, and appreciated.
