But waffles ARE better than pancakes.

Agreed - my last car purchase was of the color I disliked the least, and it appears the next one is going that way too.

A tip from a pro (I have a cake business) - if you don’t want leftovers (i.e. wedding) only plan cake for 75% of the expected guests.  When I’m hired to stay and serve the cake there’s always maybe only 10 slices left at the end of the reception that are easily pawned off to guests as they leave.

I’m a cake lady and even I prefer pie over cake.  Dutch apple or chocolate silk please.

It could be that wild dog species have a stronger gut flora than their household cousins and are more able to process nasty bits.

I’m not an expert (confirm with your vet) but when I was researching raw diets for my dog (to address a health issue) I read that their guts are too short for bacteria to take hold like it does for us long gut humans a la Chipotle.

Version 2.0 was great.  I had to hide it from my mom because she had the same attitude as yours.

Ooh, which Garbage album?

Funny story - my dad’s new kitten is named Paella ‘cuz paella is the shit. And we’re Spanish.

Oh fun! I closed on a house yesterday and am laying with my big ass sliding door open to the hum of traffic down on the street. It’s the best - congrats!

I wish I could take credit for it but I stole it from the internets

Ah!  Your cat looks like mine!  I'm a sucker for gray tabbies :3

It’s also possible to delete items from your watch history to hopefully salvage your recommendations. I mootch Netflix off a friend and her kids just eviscerated my profile one day. A cleanout of the history undid some of the damage.

My mom adopted two kittens (sisters) over the weekend and the calm one allows being held like a baby, but doesn’t know what the hell to do. The other one is a homicidal muffin and just kind of explodes out of your arms during any attempt at holding in a puff of cat hair and purring.

Totally. I’m between donation and green burial myself, but I’d prefer that my “funeral” be a big ass picnic with bounce houses and a petting zoo.  No sense in getting all dressed up just to be sad.

A tip on box mix brownies - get yourself a good 9x13 pan (big fan of Magic Line over here), use two mixes prepared per the instructions, and bake at 325 for 45 minutes.  Sure, they’re not high end delicacies, but they’re really damn good and people will lose their minds.

I saw them at Costco on Saturday - do you have any stores nearby?

Hey, if you’re giving them healthy and appropriate advice about the birds and the bees it could be for the best because it’s probably way less awkward for the kids to hear it from you.

Will you feed me?
