I mean the overall vibe is like that resturant in The Good Place where the Fourth of July drink was half an apple pie blended with SoCo and Coke served in a Chevy hubcap.

Starbucks will have the PSL back on 8/24 but I think they are not announcing in case shipping problems interfere with supplies.

Unfortunately most of them aren’t open for me. I can’t take any estrogen because I have a genetic blood clotting factor. The mood swings were for sure less when I was on birth control with estrogen before I found that out, but docs won’t prescribe them to me anymore.

Yes, I am looking forward to the other side.  My ovaries and I are basically in a life long feud.

A note to say I am feeling much better this week. I am having longer depressive episodes around my period and ovulation. Age, stress or pandemic exacerbated PMDD? Probably all of the above.

I guess most college kids aren’t asking for black pepper on sandwiches, idk.

No, but he’s obsessed with sinks. Jumps up on the bathroom counters. Not allowed on the kitchen counter so he sits on the bar stool and stares at my plaintively.

Missed class all semester and haven’t been doing the homework, either.  Where’s the homework????

Lunch and dinner you could get a sandwich or wrap put together from a variety of ingredients. They had a stone ground mustard option among the spreads that was the bomb. My roomie and I freshman year put it on every sandwich. They also had some awesome mac and cheese. We also had a fast food window that was open…

“Kids learn problem-solving skills, independence, organization, initiation, motivation, all of these things through modeling,” Allen said. “These are learned skills, these are not skills we are born with, and so we need to teach these skills.”

It’s not even scientific. Generally speaking, the trend is for viruses to become less deadly/sickening over time. This is because it negatively affects their survival rate if hosts are dying before they can infect people or it is scary enough people actually change their behavior enough to effectively limit…

Well right now it’s a big yes on outdoor dining because it’s less risky than indoor dining.

I like to buy a carton of Pine-Orange when I’m sick. I can pretend the vitamin C is doing me good, and my tastebuds are generally dulled so I am both eating less and can excuse the calories and it doesn’t taste as sweet as it does when I am at full power.

It was really a win for teamwork and sharing both the spotlight and the pressure.

Also Leonardo Da Vinci was her fairy godmother.

I don’t think we need yet another Cinderella adaptation because we have some excellent ones already with Ever After and the Disney live action, between the two I think they muster all the magic that’s possible in that tale.

I have eight different kinds of salt, which I use as the mood strikes.  I only measure it for baking.  I have to pay attention in that case because otherwise there is disaster.

This guy is a constant troll on covid posts, do not even bother.

I don’t even like half my former friends now because they revealed themselves to be callous and selfish.  I didn’t have a big circle to begin with.   You want to tell me half the people I would otherwise find good company have disqualified themselves, what’s the point in even trying?

I associate the Cheesecake with intentional gluttony. So not really the best to become a frequent flyer at. I am trying to remember the last time I was in one. Once in 2012 because someone wanted to meet in an area that was full of chain restaurants? Otherwise not really since grad school.
