When my husband told me where our orders were to, I cried for a whole day.

We moved. I am sad. I miss my old life in the Keys.

i came here to make this same comment. He TOTALLY does!

They dont. We have solid bones as opposed to cartilege. Our muscles aren’t the same as fish flesh. We don’t smell or look like their prey. They bite us and usually spit us out. It’s almost always a case of mistaken identity. (Or in the case of someone I know, self-defense.) Our blood is watery as opposed to a fish’s…

There are tours that do that: chum the waters and see what species of sharks show up. It is not outlawed in lots of places, however many costal areas have restrictions on how far from beaches, piers, etc they have to be. I think the whole thing is a pretty terrible idea, but you know how things are: anything for a…

I work on the water in the Florida Keys. I’m in the water all the time, frequently with sharks in sight. You have more to fear from being hit by a car than by being bitten by a shark. It is highly unlikely. Go and enjoy your lives, splash in the ocean, but do so carefully: no swimming during feeding times, don’t use…

Went to see Jurassic World last night. It was a solid action movie: great special effects, good actors, etc. I side-eyed the hell out of the “science” of course, but I found myself cheering Blue the Velociraptor. Would watch again; two thumbs up.

Were doctors able to restore her vision? Or treat her somehow?

With no experience in fashion marketing or design!

That it continues for several more seasons is mind-boggling.

There’s struggling, and then there’s outright horrible. And Ross is outright horrible. So is Rachel. I’m just at the point where they married in Vegas and Rachel wants an annulment, but he tells her Its Done, when It Isnt. I don’t have the right words for it, other than “icky” and “terrible.”

My friends talk about how much they love that show, and it makes me side-eye the heck out of them—- how could you talk about such a horrendous group of people so affectionately?! It makes me question their judgement...and mine.

I had never seen “Friends” until I started watching it my Netflix queue.

Mmm, mmm. Salad.

Thank you! Congratulations on your place, too! Hopefully closing will be fairly painless; I’ve had all I can take of the stress. What was the first thing you did (besides move in)? Like, replace the appliances? Update frames? Replace roof? I have so much I want to do....if and when we finally close.

nebbiolo, and later viking blod. mmmm.

Also: we talked about possible prosecco shortages this year, and it made me go out and try something different. I am drinking the most decadent nebbiolo I’ve ever had ever. Not bubbly, but still delicious. If you like red, its a neat one to try. I love SNS; its the only thread I can actively follow through to…

Good luck to you both! The offer part was the easy part, compared to the waiting, inspection, appraisal, paperwork bonanza we’ve been dealing with. I was not sure I wanted a house; I’m still nt. But no one will rent to us. Womp womp.

2 GIANT bottles red wine. 2 frozen pink lemonade cans. 1 big bottle brandy. 1 big bottle triple sec. Lots of ice. Its like jetfuel!

We are buying a house. (AHHH!) I can’t believe it. I wish that I felt ready but I do not. The good news is that our dogs will be able to stay with us when we are restationed. Yay, Military Life.
