Me, too. I’m a sucker for dried fruit, so I should really be making my own.

Mr. MRob is way into making pickles, too. We have a fermenting crock on the counter that’s making us some carrots right now. His mom is a hardcore canner, so I may have to have her teach me her ways.

I will also confess to shopping for a better food dehydrator, too. The hunk of junk thing I got for a gift 20+ years ago might not cut it anymore.

I may have gone a little overboard with the garden this year. Hey, I guess I’ll just have to use it as an excuse to learn to can.

That’s Palmer Scott; he’s been around forever. You may have seen him in several of the episodes of Tim and Eric. He was also in the music video for Polite Dance Song by The Bird and the Bee:

Me, oh hell no, but I do have several friends who stuck to their plans and are still doing what they do. The two main career fields are health care and education. Funnily, I was involved in a very similar conversation with a friend from old lady volleyball about her daughter wanting to move out and get her adult on.

I…

My local Grocery Outlet sell brie logs for super cheap. Now I’m dreaming of baked brie in the form of a Bûche de Noël.

Nah. That’d be that lady from the viral video from years ago who gets her ponytail caught in a zip line pulley.

I love that there are people out with the time and talent to put stuff like this together.

Two more weeks of track left! I love my track kids, but holy cow, am I behind on everything and now it’s time for state testing. This season has been a huge time vampire. Where did the school year go?

I’ll piggy back on everyone about switching realtors. Also, would it be possible to postpone the shopping process until the end of the term? My husband and I wound up halting house shopping for a year until life settled down and we could devote time to it. It was well worth it as shopping for homes on the coast is not…

You are not kidding about that. As someone who drives across Nebraska every summer, I can also attest to an increase in state troopers as well. Since Colorado legalized weed, they’re a bit more concerned about people crossing over the border with drugs.

My SIL was diagnosed with HPV/cervical cancer maybe a decade ago. Her gyno and oncologist had her get what she described as a chemical face peel for her ninners. She’s been fine since, though I’m not sure if she takes anything to manage the HPV.

I have nothing to add to this conversation other than to ask: What’s up with his eyebrows?

He definitely has a ton of natural athletic ability, so that helps. I think there must be something in the water because I had two 8th grade boys clear 9'6" last year at districts. I’m excited to see where high school takes them.

I’m living vicariously through one of my 7th grade pole vaulters - he cleared a bungee set at 7'6" in practice yesterday on his first attempt. Everyone cheered. It was pretty awesome.

My ad blocker was blocking polldaddy.com. Once I allowed that, voting showed up for me.

I need to know more about this drinking of pee option. Not to date myself or anything, but is it more like Eric Nies of MTV fame, or like the stillsuits from Dune?

That picture never fails to make my day. That cat looks so content.

That haul makes my heart happy. I love my Lego collection, and I can’t wait until I have space to move it out here from Iowa. My middle school algebra kids make fun of me it, but I don’t care.
