On that NYT ‘where are you in line?’ thing I was three people from the end. I also had COVID 19 in November although it was insanely mild for me and my family. I still have loss of taste and smell. Anyway, I suspect we had COVID 19 in October 2019 when we got the worst flu with lung pressure we’ve ever had. I also…

I also loved Tayshia’s dad. He was so direct, open, thoughtful. Wish all parents could be like him.

I’m truly hoping all the drama is just Ben stuff, and that Tayshia and Zac end up together. I try to avoid spoilers at all cost so IDK.

My husband’s ex wife got her wedding ring tattoo removed. Took about 4 sessions over two months and left a huge gnarly scar and a bit of ink. The tattoo was DIY, which is probably why the removal went so bad. But also she bought her sessions as a 2 for 1 on Groupon so....

Yep, it totally sucks for recreational use.

I hate salvia. But if you are going to do it only one person should get high at a time and they need someone to watch them so they don't get hurt. Wait until they come down for someone else to take a turn. Also watch out for lingering effects, like depression. 

I was a shoplifter during the Great Recession. People have to eat! I was child free back then and just fending for myself. I ended up spending almost a month in jail for petty theft.

I’ve read of them being referred to as “primary bedrooms” or “owner’s suites”.

Well, fuck. Least surprising news and yet I still need to cry. 

Glad you like it! She's on instagram too. A fun follow.

My newest song obsession:

It’s strangely comforting to know I’m not the only kid that had to sit in class with a broken arm because an adult didn’t believe them.

In 4th grade my class went on a field trip to the local news station to meet the meteorologist and learn about weather. To attend this field trip we had to pass the multiplication mad minute. I along with four other kids really struggled and didn’t finish it in a minute. We were held back at school while the rest of…

I sometimes buy them when I’m unmotivated and they store so well I can keep them until I feel like cooking.

My go to for squash is cut it in half, scoop out seeds, roast the halves cut side down so they brown. In a pan, sautee mushrooms, onions, sausage or whatever you like, then fill squash with the sauteed mix and eat it!

As a survivor of domestic abuse, I highly recommend getting a cognitive behavioral therapy workbook (available on Amazon or a therapist can recommend one) to help untangle the guilt, fear and possible PTSD and help you move forward.

What a lovely story. My husband and I just bought a big fake Christmas tree and my kids and I and husband love it so much. We’ve been waiting to buy one until we buy a house, but the pandemic put a huge dent in my willpower. I think we made the right choice.

Tayshia is so charming and lovely. It makes me wonder why she is drawn to people like John Paul Jones. The guys she kissed this episode or in this week's previews are the worst.

Happy birthday to you!

Yay!! I'm so excited for you!
