i seriously want to know more about this “Cheddar Stump” thing. i mean, cheddar, sure -- who doesn’t love cheese? but what is a cheddar stump? and how did two separate people both think of it to write it in?

“In My Life” is definitely my pick. the older i get, the harder that song hits. every time, every time.

look, you want it done right? it takes time. also, this:

also, speaking as a Nevadan, lay off Nevada. we’ve got laws, and we’re making sure our count is correct. just be patient, please.

same here. Redford is almost unique in this regard. and Newman, holy moly, that smile and those eyes? omg.

that’s why i don’t think it *is* Boba Fett. i mean, as a fan, sure, that’s fun and satisfying, but i would be much, much more excited if it’s Captain Rex. who else would lead Mando to Ahsoka Tano but Rex? they have a deep, long history.

oof, they are both so freaking handsome i STILL swoon for them -- and then when they are together onscreen, what magic they create. it’s such a rare, wonderful chemistry.

yep, definitely. we buy candy we like, and if the kids don’t, more for us. this year is even better, because we’re not handing out any. and what makes it better is that there’s kind of glut of it locally, i guess, because the sales seem better than usual. mwa-ha-haaaaa

C-SPAN is basically the only way i watch debates, too. i don’t want the talking head comment blather, i just want to watch the candidates and the moderator hash out topics and that’s that. i don’t watch these things to be entertained, necessarily — i watch them to be informed.

as one of those (slightly) younger, first-time poll workers this year, i’m definitely trying to mentally prep myself for every conceivable scenario. i have lost some sleep worrying about it, tbh. but i feel it’s important, so i couldn’t sit by this year.

i clicked the headline, thinking, “if Great Basin isn’t on the list, the list is worthless.” — happy to find it at the top. it’s not called “America’s most remote national park” for nothing. if you ever get the chance, go.

as a gin drinker and marmite lover... i gotta try this.

well, as people on both sides keep pointing out, their running mates are in their 70s, so no matter who wins there’s a very real possibility that either one could be thrust into the presidency. that’s plenty of reason for me to tune in.

seriously. i don’t use “life changing” lightly. ours take 15 mins, but it depends on how crispy you like your tots. we like them VERY crispy. so it really could take less time, if you don’t like them that way.

i too clicked thinking, “if it’s not an air fryer, it’s nonsense.” i swear, the air fryer has revolutionized our fried food eating and reheating. it probably has been the single greatest thing we have bought that is getting us through the pandemic, comfort-food-wise. i mean, perfect crispy tater tots from frozen to…

when i’m doing planks, at the start i tell myself, “if i can make it to the halfway point, i’ll be good.” and then when i hit the halfway mark i tell myself, “see? nailed it. i got this. if i can make it X more minutes, then the rest will be all downhill.” some mornings i don’t think i’ll even be able to make it to…

my thoughts exactly. none of this asks a child what they think of making toilet paper roll crafts — it’s all from an adult germaphobic perspective. i remember when i was a kid it was an enjoyable thing to make crafty stuff out of them.

it’s called compassion. you should try it.

....except that Michael Hogan is pretty fucking famous, the very least for his work on BSG.

the best time to have a party to reveal the gender of your child has always been never.
