My understanding is that the Crown Estate returned 329.4 million back to the public Treasury between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

Our planet is nothing. Seriously. We’re way out in the boonies. Whatever elements on our planet that are worth anything to another civilization (water, metals, chemicals) can be found in abundance everywhere, in greater quantities that are much more accessible than this little planet out in the middle of nowhere.

I got around that by going to the wholesale flower mart downtown the day before and stuffing my best friend’s fridge with hundreds of miniature roses and lining the counters with tiny glass vases from the dollar store. (We were holding the wedding in his backyard.) I spent part of that afternoon making centerpieces…

I was wondering why the camera seemed to pan just a little bit before the explosion, like they knew it was about to happen.

If the future is women doesn’t have men as the default, does the future of fantasy [not have men as the default] too? Can’t it just be a story told without you ascribing some kind of current political/emotional slant to it about men, like always?

Lactaid tablets are worth their weight in gold for the lactose-intolerant. I stash those little packets everywhere - every purse has a couple tucked away in pockets, the First-Aid kit in the car has a bunch, my desk drawer, the kitchen drawer, my nightstand drawer each have a few, and there’s always a full box in the…

Hot Grape-Nuts on a cold day. Just make the bowl as usual and pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. They soften up enough to not crack your fillings, and the nutty flavor just explodes.

Well, at that point you’ve got a parfait. Nothing wrong with that.

As long as we’re talking Toto’s “Africa”, I’ve always loved this acapella version with the thunderstorm. I know it’s been done by other choirs, and some of it is a little corny, but it’s the first one I saw and I love it all the same.

Liberals don’t call themselves “libs”. Only right-wingers do - especially the ones who think they’re being clever by “puttin’ them libs in their place”.

if somebody can’t lift a finger to fight for what is legally theirs, then it doesn’t bother me one bit

A cheapo pack of fuzzy mice that you can get for the price of change you find in the parking lot doesn’t really seem like a “buy” to me. But the cardboard that it comes in? Good god, our youngest goes mad at the sight.

True...but it’s still possible to have a meal that’s not too unhealthy, even at fast food places. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. Especially depending on the restaurant.

I used to love the sweet tea, but then I found out that a 32 oz had more sugar than two and a half Snickers bars. No wonder my doctor said I was prediabetic. I gave up that shit fast.

People who claim that selling your food stamps for cash is fraud have never, ever tried to live on food stamps. Fuck the law.

Yeah, when I read that quote, it horrified me. And, yet, it didn’t surprise me. The sheer volume of hate and bigotry and selfishness in this country hadn’t been so blatant until Trump came along and gave those people a voice. He made it okay.

Four? Amateur.

Yep.
