But the original movie, Candyman’s backstory was that he was a former slave who fell in love with a white woman and was lynched for it. Very similar theme. 

I feel like unusually high stress can be physically dangerous in this respect, too. If your mind is not focused on what you are doing and you can’t seem to make it focus, you could still hurt yourself. Not to mention a bad performance, even sans physical injury, would bring the whole team down. So, even if it wasn’t…

I read the headline and honestly thought it was going to be an all out scam, that she wasn’t really facing eviction. What it ended up being is not scandalous to me. She seems to be taking care of those kids a good chunk of time, so they would lose that.

Who is Brooke?

I first came across Snopes in 2002. They did no news stuff and the vast majority of their debunking was urban legends. I know because I went through the site and read every single thing they had on it.

Those people have never believed Snopes, though. 

I always love that because they put sources for everything they research (when it comes to fact checking.) They always have. 

One thing I learned in the previous MCU phases is that I really shouldn’t miss any of the movies (except The Hulk) because I don’t know much about the characters they center. I skipped a lot other than Iron Man and when Infinity War came out, I decided I needed to watch the rest of the movies and I was kicking myself…

Yes. There are several movies that have come out in theaters that I want to see, but I don’t want to sit in a room with a bunch of people I don’t know to see them, no matter how badly I want to see them.

Maybe still does. When I was there in 2002 I was asked, “Want a fag?” Took me a second before I realized what was actually being asked. (Also, if you smoke, it is apparently considered rude to turn down the offer of a cigarette.)

I like, “Not the sharpest knife in the drawer” and other similar ones. Not the brightest crayon in the box.

I don’t know, showing that he was leading what most consider a normal life and that people considered him a normal person, not some kind of devil monster, is probably for the best. People want to believe that murderers are somehow different from the rest of us and we can tell when someone is bad, but they aren’t and…

I’ve watched a lot of ID with my mom, and one thing I always notice is that, invariably, people will say, “Nothing like this happens here” (to which I reply, apparently it does) and then they have to label the person who committed the horrible crime as “evil” and a “devil” and a “monster” etc. And what I see this…

Oh my gosh, once I had the flu and a sinus infection. On the way home from the doctor, I stopped at Walgreen’s to pick up my prescriptions. I was sitting in a chair waiting and most likely looking obviously miserable, as well as exhibiting all the outward symptoms of the flu. Nevertheless, this guy across from me…

I despise small talk and that’s pretty much all you can do with a stranger.

How about when they “get the grill marks on it” then finish it in the oven? I mean, I guess it’s usually because of time, but it still seems like you could have just cooked it in the oven if that’s what you were gonna do. (But, I guess the judges expect the grill marks, so... Bobby Flay does this all.the.time.)

That’s going to be a weird wall since one major college in Oklahoma is going to the SEC but the other is not. (That doesn’t count TU, because, well, they aren’t in the same league as OU and OSU. But, yeah, they’re not in the SEC, either.)

My boss came to work last week even though her husband was at home with covid for most of that week. Now, she’s at home because she tested positive and I am currently waiting for my test results and hoping I don’t have covid because I live with my 72 year old mom and 92 year old grandmother.

I would join that religion.

Some of us just don’t like avocados.
