Thank you for exempting kd Lang. She is amazing.

I love Simon & Garfunkel. Grew up with my parents listening to them. And I love their version. To me, their version is the bougie version. The one you sing when you’re starting to realize as a middle class kid, how entitled you are. It has its place. It’s fabulous.

Also, their bass player kills it on that song.

Right?! I never knew MJ was the originator of that song and only knew that AAF made it fire.

I have been pointing out to my co-workers of like minded persuasion that these churches are going to be used as case studies by epidemiologsts a la the Broad Street Pump in Victorian England.

OMG YES!!! My husband was just talking with some friends and he was telling me all this crap he believed and he was just laughing and laughing. People are free to believe whatever insanity they want, but this type of things always morphs into “it’s the Jews’ fault” or “black people did it” or “gay people are trying to…

We have 5 cats but keep it in a covered butter dish.

We never refrigerate our stick of butter and have never had a problem. We keep the rest of it in the fridge but the one we have ready for toast etc is in a butter dish in the counter.

I rarely swear, but I do use talk-to-text A LOT. The other day when I was jeeved off at something, Android automatically ***’d out all my good swears.

Are you sure you’re not living in mid-Michigan? “Perseid astroid showers tonight? hahahahahahahah”

I think they are mostly in Canada now, but Michigan, being Canada-adjacent, used to have them at our local Mid-Michigan Quality Dairy stores. Snip the corner, put it in a jug like this, and Bob’s your uncle. They were great in the winter cause you could buy milk on sale, set it outside in the snow and have milk blocks…

Sandwich gets the wax paper treatment

However, after numerous washed ziplock bags and other assorted re-used plastic bags fell out of a drawer last week, I had the realization that I’ve turned into my grandmother.

I’m getting better.

I was going to suggest Vietnamese food. It’s hard to have leftovers because I try to stuff as much of it in my face as possible, but one night in the fridge allows all those delicious seasonings to meld together. /wipes drool from chin/

Not to mention the dreadful thing was written in 1984. It’s dead, Jim. /mccoy

Makes me wonder if all those who died were true-blue Putin supporters or maybe were questioning his policies. Awfully convenient way to get rid of the opposition within your military.

My family has always eaten pickled herring as a lunch snack, but it wasn’t until I went on a cruise (Celebrity Cruises, highly recommended) and discovered it available for breakfast that I was enlightened.

See, you fly INTO Detroit, but then drive up the thumb along Lake Huron or visit any of our fine state’s beautiful tourist areas: wine country all along the coast of Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Porcupine Mountains in the UP, etc.

We have a cafe here in town that has all sorts of different eggs Benedict combos: crab cakes, smoked salmon, fresh seasonal fish. They are one and all delightful. One of the best places in town to eat. Gah, now I’m hungry.
