Ha!  Me too!  Except it’s like, it’s a Disneyland-style enormous bathroom with huge aisles and I look endlessly at the stalls trying to find a clean one.  I never do.  And then I wake up and have to pee.

YAY!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy that you get to do what you want now, and that there’s one more positive job success story out there!

Awesome, thank you!

Yes!!!!  Oh man.  I almost wrote down ‘White Christmas’!

Interesting — as a paste? Or dry? At this point I’d be happy to offer them vacation packages if they’d leave me alone...

Oh my, he does have very blue eyes. Wow! Sign me up. He sounds like a genuine, nice person.

One of my friends just moved back to the great lakes area, from SoCal.... I’m sad she’s gone. We luckily got to have a socially distant pool party before she left, which was so wonderful, but so weird. The hosts have a house with a pool and firepit area.... each of the 8 of us had ‘goody bags’ with a plate and napkins…

Love the seaweed distancing strategy!  I will make it to the beach, I swear.

Oh I want to read When Books Went to War!  I feel like that’s been on my goodreads forever.  I love that sort of stuff.  Hope they’re all good!!

Weirdly, my single best purchase was my squishmallow blue and white bunny around Easter that I named Dorothy. Dorothy has been the perfect stress relief when I need to hug something in bed, and she’s very soft and velvety, -and- the perfect height to lay my phone on to read books in bed. A+. (Runner up are the comfy…

That sounds incredible @_@  I love chocolate mousse and chocolate crust!

I made a cabbage + onion + pasta recipe twice this week and it was incredible!  I used significantly more cabbage than they called for (and would add more if my pot would allow), and used half the parmesan and half the pepper, and it was delicious.  I’m making it again with the biggest cabbage I can find!

Oh, crap, Derby.  I’m sorry to hear about your week and your stepdad.  <3 Hugs.

Yes they do, lol!  Geez.  Let me get in line right behind you -- I’m the least graceful person out there!

My first class/lecture for grad school in the late 2000s (library and information science, lol) was one of our big general core classes (all ~100 of us, rather than 20/25 per elective).... for some reason our professor made ALL of us go around and say our names and our favorite TV shows. I never had cable growing up,…

-Oh-, yes, I mean it always seemed like somewhere like Europe or Canada is pretty difficult.  I just see certain people frolicking over to Europe and they don’t really explain how they’re there (spouse with a job? etc).  But I genuinely have never heard of a retiree visa, so that makes sense!! Brains. Thanks!!

I must be missing the most basic search term on google since so many people seem to do this, but — what I can’t seem to figure out, is how people retire as expats or even regular non-retired people get permission to stay. It seems like young people would need some sort of work visa, and even if they do something like…

Rude!! I think those sound very comforting, there’s something about baked beans that are nice and filling and sweet. I do beanie weenies when I’m in a bad mood, or it’s cold out. (I may have accidentally bought too many cans of baked beans during stay-at-home, so I have 5 cans now.) You eat those beans!

Wow!  I would never have thought of that either, but it’s intriguing and would cut the acidity a lot!!  I’ll try it!

Oh god, no-see-ums.  I had blocked those from my brain.  That must have been an awful film shoot, but good thing the crew knew what was what!!
