My twitter and instagram erupted into a fiery inferno and I was like holy shit... people were canceling each other left and right for their willingness or not to cancel Adam Driver immediately or defend him (a whole other issue), and then after it started calming down, I see this one person write: “wanted to clarify —…

Hell yes!  Go you!

And I bought myself my first Christmas.... shrub.... thing.  It’s a tiny foot and a half tall Italian stone pine in a pot, with some star LED lights from World Market, and it makes me happy!  Now he needs a good Italian name.

omg, candy cane Joe Joe’s! I quickly grabbed a box of what I thought were them.... but it turned out to be chocolate/peppermint *covered* candycane Joe Joe’s. (Oooh nooo, heehee.) Sooooo I went back to get the original thing. Now I have both (yum!) and their salty/sweet chocolate/caramel popcorn potato chip peanut…

What a cute pupperoo!  I hope everyone gets along, and glad you made it to Panama finally!

Love the clouds, congrats on the new place!

Yay Wynn!!! :D

I felt so apathetic about posting recently, but Thanksgiving was a nice break (alone, but I just need another 4 days off in a row, please and thanks?). I was doing really well making different interesting easy food, and then I hit a slump again.

I saw an article that called them “charcuterie chalets” which I love above all else.  I don’t think I could take the time to make the house before demolishing all the materials, but I do love the idea!

I agree, a lot of the actual excess is largely gone. :( This is probably just because of the pandemic, but I stopped at the Disney Store outlet in Camarillo (west of LA, but still vaguely SoCal) in September, and they had a TON of stuff that I know is Disneyland merchandise. (I’m an annual passholder... for better or…

I know this is quite late to the response party, but I’m glad you did something. It didn’t even really occur to me what was going on on a broader level (I was a sheltered kid at a small private school in CA). I do vividly remember going to a college visit though in Texas in spring 2002, and seeing a PRO-war rally and…

omg, german shorthaired pointer(s)?  so cute!

This is my absolute favorite and I would die laughing when I realized!!! Ahh.  This cracks me up as someone who used to live with the most obnoxious snorers, my parents. ;)  (I still haven’t seen a bear...)

Ha!  I bet a lot of people would agree with you, for various reasons.... ;D  I personally can’t stand icing, but I know other people who have to be dragged away kicking and screaming!

nope nope nope D:

I love the haunted biscuit can. ;D  “The devil’s biscuits!  WoOoOoOooo...”

Hold onto your butt, brace yourself for all the crazy stuff at Trader Joe’s! Their fresh stuff like bread and produce tends to spoil fairly quickly because there’s no preservatives, but if you’re not like me (who languishes around finishing produce over six decades or so) you’ll be fine. I’ve been a TJs person most of…

HOORAY! This is so awesome. I’m happy for you, and so are the Baby and the Bear. ;D It’s so great to know good job things are happening to good people, and even though 70 days sounds like a really long time to be in an extended stay, I hope you find exactly the type of place you’re looking for. Squee! The…

After years and years of painful awful heavy bloaty nauseating periods, I now take BC straight through with no placebos (well, for iron deficiency anemia too, but hey) and I only have a few uncomfortable days every few months. The things that helped me the most when it was evil was pressing down on my abdomen (hugging…

That’s what my professor said when I was in college, lol — “it just gives you expensive pee”. Hahaha. I also roll my eyes at everyone chugging protein shakes and putting protein powder in everything. You don’t need it! You’re fine!
