I’m just guessing.

It’s hard for people who don’t live there to realize that it’s a geographical area and is larger than many European countries. Yet they expect such a large and diverse place to be homogeneous. It’s laughable really.  On the whole the state really is verging on purple, but rampant gerrymandering for decades makes it…

Hooboy, you know that both he and Sammy are going to really kick into high gear when the baby’s born! “Why won’t you let him be part of the faaaaaaaaaaaamily! We just want to sponge attention off our relation to love him!” I can hear it now.

Protip: you can fold a thin pantiliner over the band of your bra under the arms for similar results....if you get bad underboob sweats, you can fold them in half longways and tuck in to bottom of your bra cups. Not for use under translucent clothes!) When I have to look respectable and deal with heat, I’ll keep a pack…

I bought a full set of vintage sterling flatware. It’s not something that I need, but it makes me happy to shine it up and set the places on on a fancy linen tablecloth on special occassions. The sound of the flatware as it clinks against the dishes is musical and it helps to elevate the entire experience. (It helps th…

I’ve often wondered if small “donations” like 1 cent actually ends up costing money in banking fees.

I love it.  You just put them on a rack, add a cup of water, set the time (7 minutes for my preferred doneness) and when the time is up you release pressure and pop ‘em into ice water to chill.  I do about a dozen at a time to add to the salads I pack for work during the week.

Redonkulously adorable!

It may not take less time to boil eggs in the IP, but the shells practically fall off the egg.

While I like Maisel OK (It’s fun the characters lack subtlety.), but your description is spot-on for me and Game of Thrones. I’ve always been so into SF and Fantasy and even enjoy some of GRRM’s other work, but that series of books and show just don’t do a thing for me. Every time I turn around for the last decade or…

Seems to me like whether or not he got a statue, he was setting himself up for a big win no matter what. (Yes, she could have said no....but the look on her face tells me that was not an option.)

I have no plans for international travel at the moment, but I’m tempted to try and get a passport to see if it’s even possible. I was born in Central Texas to two citizens and am quite white (according to family tree and my DNA tests), but thanks to the fact that my parents were hippies, I didn’t have a legal birth…

I like the skirt and the color of the shoes, but it would have been so much nicer with flats and a tailored white linen top (or maybe coordinating light jacket over that knit top).

The 1981 footage is notable for the dude shooting at the queen (with blanks, fortunately for everyone). Her horse startles, but she keeps it all together like a boss.

Our cats all get names of deities. The current lineup is Kali, Athena, Nox and Pakhet.

I work at a company of FEWER than 20 people. We produce and track hundreds of thousands of pieces of specialty custom-made on-demand product each month. Items of different types in a single order can run through different production channels but still manage to be shipped to the client in the same box.

I miss the days when our elected officials at least pretended not to be Scooby-Doo style villains.

I’m stealing that description.

I guess there is some bright side to the interminable years I spent being “homeschooled”. 

He was a drug addict for well over 20 years. Most of his money probably built some drug lord a gold-plated swimming pool somewhere in South America.
