When Obama picked him as VP, I was stunned. He’s ALWAYS been problematic. But he did bring in the important Pensyltucky regional vote and his years of experience on Capitol Hill - remember, Obama had almost none, which meant he had no allies.  

I know.  It’s insane and insulting on multiple levels.

The punctured yolk is always the danger with yolk-to-yolk. But if you’ve only got a few eggs to separate, it keeps from messing up another bowl.  I think it comes down to how many eggs you’re separating.

The last time my husband and I had an evening flight out of MSP, we went early and hit up the wine bar there. The charcuterie platter is $20, and with some extra olives for $5, it made a perfectly acceptable dinner for two.

JFC. I take flights between DCA (aka National, aka Reagan) and Minneapolis-St. Paul on a regular basis.

To me, that was the most jaw-dropping part of the tweet.

I grew up between DC and NYC, but have been living in the Upper Midwest for about 15 years now. First in a small town in Western Wisconsin, but now in the Twin Cities. Those stories made me eye-roll so hard, I gave myself a headache.

I am getting over an issue with my shoulder, and for a brief time, it was less painful for me to keep my arm low than to try and raise it, especially after a good PT session. (Recovery going well, not an issue now.) So when I was at a baseball game earlier in the year a few hours after my PT put me through the wringer…

For those of you apparently not up on the joke...

I camp out occasionally - sometimes I’m just stuck and going to one of my neighborhood bakery-cafes can help me break through that. I will order tea (hot or iced), lunch, and if I’m still not done with work when I’m done with that, I will order a hot tea and a slice of cake or something. And, I will sometimes buy…

Two hours, minimum for me, especially if the first flight is leaving after 10 am. Flights get backed up the further the day goes on, so the chances for delays keep on improving goes up as the hour hand sweeps by. It annoys my husband, but you just can’t bet on your connection being on time, weather getting in the way,…

Paging Jon Stewart to the White Courtesy Phone.  American society desperately needs a second, epic, Tucker-Carlson-Loses-His-Gig Smackdown, please.

What kills me about this?

Luggage, but for me, I have multiple chronic injuries from the hips on down that don’t react well in tight, crowded spaces where people are pushing. Earlier boarding means less people on the plane (and usually, more savvy travelers who don’t take forever to get their bags in the OHB and block the aisles). Sometimes…

Can’t drive a manual transmission.

I have taken some of these issues with a grain of salt...well, more like a salt shaker of it really. Or one of those big boxes of kosher salt. I think it’s been noted on this site before - this show does not exactly write well-rounded female characters. I’ve gone into a mode where I am here for the trippiness and mood…

I’ve never felt Syd that much - I haven’t hated her, I just felt like despite all the attention and care paid to her back story, she was still somewhat opaque and unlikeable. Understandable, though, considering she was disconnected from humanity as she couldn’t touch other people.

Fair enough. Here’s the local newspaper coverage the article was based on.

And in additionally infuriating news:

That was my first thought. My husband and I have an open-plan condo that has one huge NE facing window. The majority of the space is painted a “sea glass” color (a changeable blue/gray/green kinda thing), but the kitchen is all the way at the back. That’s in a pale eucalyptus. So a little bit of color, but I couldn’t…
