I know this is decades late in internet-times, but — ARGH! My condo has the most useless and unsafe sliding door mechanism in the world. I wanted to do the broomstick thing, but the way my door is installed, you’d have to put the broomstick on the OUTSIDE.  wtf.  I’m getting all my windows and that sliding door…

Good for her. Guaranteed most of the questions they’re asking aren’t groundbreaking or relevant... It drives me nuts during the Olympics when the reporters race after the Americans (always American, as if we don’t care about ANY OTHER participants, like other winners...) and ask either “WOW, what went wrong????” or…

Yes, and I don’t understand! I’m 5'11" and extremely clumsy, so it’s not like I’m stealthing around....

Seeing the first Hobbit movie with my mom in a small town in New Zealand the day it opened, the afternoon of the same day we visited the Hobbiton set in rural NZ, completely by accident that we decided to see it the same day as the set visit + that it was opening day. I can’t remember much about the movie itself but…

I saw Dunkirk on that IMAX at City Walk and nearly had a heart attack from all the tick-tick-tick/ever-ratcheting up anxiety soundtrack, but it was AMAZING to watch the dogfight on the IMAX. It reminded me of seeing my first IMAX as a little tiny kid at the old science museum in LA, and being completely blown away as…

Yesss hidden chocolate eggs!  My mom used to do that when I was a kid because she didn’t want to deal with the mess outside, but I loved it.  I sometimes buy a bag for myself and nibble.  ^_^  Chickpea cutlets sound good!

Beautiful pics! And of course the best part of travel is the snacks and stamps. ;) I always forget to bring my junior ranger National Parks stamp passport booklet thingy when I’m on vacation, lol. Crap! (I’m 35 but I love those stamp things!!!)

DENNIS and his soulful eyes, and MATT DILLON with his beautiful floof, I love them!  Heart eyes.

Big boy!  Gosh, I remember the puppy pictures.  I love the corgi leg sploot!  He’s sooooo fluffy.

That dismount is quite technical, good job Frank!  10s all around.  Those poor bedraggled shaved cats, I couldn’t help but laugh.  I love the little orange kitten (young cat?) who looks so curious!  And the deaf/blind kitty.  So glad she’s accepting attention!

I too am showing up at your house for that bread and arancini! Just give me 3 weeks, as I’m getting my second shot this coming Friday. ;D .... I discovered my laziness can still make delicious results — I don’t mind cooking rice and it comes out nicely when fresh, but it’s always dry and awful the second day. I…

I was going to say the same thing, lol.  Don’t underestimate the nuggets!

Oh I love it!! So glad the outing was a success, it looks wonderful. What a happy birthday for her. :D (And yes, the anxiety seems to be getting us all... even technically uncrowded places seem too full!  I was getting agitated in line for dinner tonight because this pack of high schoolers was getting too close to me…

Congrats on the healthier routine!!! That gives me hope. I wish I had room for exercise equipment that might make me use it, but I have too much crap in my garage. I need to purge. It’s slow. BUT, I realized I do have a tiny victory — with covid malaise my room and bathroom has become slob city. I cleared off my…

Congrats on the first dose!  Sorry to hear you had some woobly symptoms but I hope they go away soon.  One down, one to go. :D

I found City of Ghosts recently on Netflix. It’s the most chill kids show — 6 episodes only 20 minutes each, about Los Angeles history and culture. The style is really creative and pretty, and it teaches kids about indigenous culture/language, history, multi-ethnic neighborhoods, language, family, expressing yourself,…

Bartholomew Cubbins!  I love that book!!!  Also I love the library section kittens + all the Seuss kitties.  It cheers me up after the sadness of the breakup of the bro band.... But alas, off to a new home.  I can’t be too sad.  Everyone is looking good!!

Seconding Kohler!!! The one below I think is as close as I can remember to what my parents installed back when they remodeled in 2006. The most important thing was comfort height (apparently 2" higher than normal toilets / chair height) and the elongated bowl. I swear, that 2" height difference is the biggest…

I’m glad for you, that must be a relief.  And I’m adding that show to my list -- anything British and true crime is a yes!  I hope the sanatorium has all streaming services...

OH.  I forgot, I have brownie mix, thanks to seeing that banana bread further down..... I’m going to make brownies RIGHT NOW at 10 pm as long as my eggs haven’t given up the ghost.  Fingers crossed.  lol.
