For those who might be skeptical about the hand blender. My husband bought a Cuisinart hand blender for me one year that I hadn’t asked for. I though it would be another waste-of-space gadget, but I was wrong. It actually takes up very little space in a drawer, and I use it quite a bit. It’s just so much easier to…

That’s too, too much. I need to save that and go to it when I’m with my Trump-loving in-laws this weekend.

I thought I was washing rice to remove excess starch, not because it was dirty.

In a way, I agree. The multiple timelines thing feels sort of cheap. BUT, I also think it’s interesting that the show puts us in the position of the hosts, remembering pieces of our ‘past’ (past episodes) trying to put the pieces together and make sense out of what we can remember.

You’re right. When Ford, Teddy and MiB had their little sit down a few episodes ago, MiB does talk about how the hosts have changed since his first visit to the park. The hosts that William is interacting with definitely seem like more advanced, later generation, ‘upgraded’ models.

A much more attractive person, who does not look like a demonic house cat.

My son is an 8th grader and I’m actually impressed with how much emphasis his school puts on understanding and evaluating sources of information on the internet. ‘Don’t believe everything you read’ is a lesson a lot of people need to learn.

I think those are perfectly valid reasons. Even before his involvement with politics, just looking at Donald Trump made my skin crawl.

Exactly. I read HuffPo regularly, but I consider it entertainment, not a news source.

Seriously, does he really think this looks good? I know not everyone shares the same aesthetic sensibilities, but it boggles the mind that anyone with functioning eyeballs would think this looks anything but garish and downright ugly.

How long until the SVU episode?

Our springer loves, loves, loves this toy, and incredibly, it’s lasted 5 or 6 years. We actually use a red Kong ball as the inside ball instead of a tennis ball, but either way, the trick is to find a ball that’s just slightly larger than the hole. The outside ball is a little stretchy, so you will be able to put the…

Do NOT knock the Boy Scout first aid training. I love to cook, but I’m incredibly clumsy in the kitchen. My son regularly come to my rescue with band aids and burn ointment and never freaks out when I slice off part of my fingernail or cut open my knuckles. It’s made him very capable of dealing with these things. Oh,…

I’m afraid your list of worst things to spill is sadly incomplete. Picture knocking a small glass bottle of green food coloring off the top shelf of an upper cabinet. My kitchen looked like a leprechaun crime scene. It was bad. Even worse than the time my toddler found the olive oil bottle I keep by the stove and…

Ok, so you’re making me appreciate my Trump-loving MIL. We don’t agree on a LOT of things, but at least she’s always been kind to me and was always super nice to my family.

Also a good idea to unfollow your mother-in-law on Facebook so you don’t have to see her gloating posts. Or maybe that’s just me...

I don’t really know if that’s true. To me, he doesn’t seem stupid...more like willfully ignorant. He strikes me as someone who could be knowledgeable and well-educated, but chooses not to be. He doesn’t see the value in educating himself because that would be an admission that he doesn’t know everything already. He…

#5 is definitely not a waste of time. My husband uses hair gel daily and never washes his brush. Once in a while I get too grossed out and wash it for him. It’s time well spent.

I’ve got nothing insightful to add. Just sending good thoughts to you and your daughter.

I’m not sure I’m convinced, but when Logan talked about William coming in to his office in his ‘black suit’ I definitely wondered if we were being thrown a hint that he would become the MIB. Then again, it might be a red herring.
