A desperately needed eye-cleanser after that top photo..

I hope not. One gets one’s fish and chips from the chippie, not the bar.

What’s up with Louisana, considering embryos as people? Shouldn’t it also be considered a shocking level of abuse to keep “people” locked up in a freezer?

I am so ova celebrity fertility drama.

Yeah, no. Goose has so, so much fat. It is goddamned delicious. And roast potatoes, roasted in goose fat, are the food of the gods. And I lived for the first 25 years of my life in North America and I did not understand the dried fruit experience. Fruit cake, mince pies, Christmas cake. None of them are any good…

I don’t understand the fruitcake hate. It’s dense. It’s rich. The chunks of fruit are the perfect kind of gummy and chewy. Oh, and it tastes like alcohol! I love it and can’t wait to buy it half price tomorrow. 

There’s a thing called ‘Christmas in July’ which is mostly an advertising thing although some do the traditional Christmas dinner then (my family often mean to but usually forget). Plus the queen’s birthday long weekend in June (not her actual birthday and not a real holiday).

Um, Christmas is very much a food centered holiday! At least in Britain and Australia. It’s all about turkey, gravy, roast veggies, pudding, custard etc. and here because it’s summer we have prawns and oysters and ham and salads! Despite it being routinely 30 odd degrees centigrade (I think 90ish Fahrenheit)we insist…

I reloaded for 5 mins until I turned my phone to landscape and suddenly they were all there. Maybe that works for you, too! 

None of the pics load for me. Damn, I wanted to see Brit Brit’s tree. Too bad I’m too lazy to google it.

We got our 50%-off Big Lots tree on Dec 23, and it is great. Origami tyrannosaurs make it perfect.

He’s not even really talking to the child even though, yes, there’s a child on the line; he’s playing to the camera. It’s his “I’m so entertaining” schtick. He thinks the press is going to chuckle at his off-the-cuff remark. The 7-year old’s confusion is collateral damage.  He’s the worst.

Who uses “marginal” when talking to a seven-year-old?

Not today Satan *gif*

I know a couple that have been married for 10+ years and fight all.the.time. They have two kids who are shy and stressed out. I don’t understand why they stay married. Of course, I've been single forever, which means I haven't been in a serious fight forever. No one has said anything truly mean to me in years. I can't…

We can only hope Chumps heart will grow 3 sizes...

It just came to me while reading it; I thought surely I can do something limerickal with “Nantucket” built right in, or I’m not Jerry-Netherland!

Even Trump’s own businesses say “Happy Holidays” (and sometimes “Happy Holiday’s) instead of “Merry Christmas”  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/23/trump-war-on-christmas-happy-holidays-businesses

Oh my god there's so many of them.

“It’s raining, but there ain’t a cloud in the sky. Must’ve been a tear from your eye. Everything will be okay. Funny, thought I felt a sweet summer breeze. Must’ve been you sighing so deep. Don’t worry, we’re gonna find a way.”
