Well, there it is. Canadian.

What even is “graham bread”? I’m imagining some pinterest-food type bread made from ground up graham crackers held together by I-don’t-even-want-to-know-what in a vaguely bread sliced shape. Ugh. Nightmares here I come.

I was all ready to star your comment until I read that last sentence. Are you unwell? Ham is fine to put in there, but it is not an “acceptable” stand-in for bacon.

Only 3 times in 10 years? You are luckier than you know. I see the guys in suits with clipboards at my Kroger 2-3 times per year.

If I started texting my friends first thing in the morning, they would probably not be my friends very long after.

I love that this a safe place to say "sleep is my favorite thing." I love sleep also.

We bought a dry erase spiral-bound book (at Target I think) that is for pre-schoolers for our 2nd (and then 3rd) child to do homework on days she got jealous of big sister. They love to scribble and erase, and it has really held up to abuse by toddlers. I highly recommend it.

She could be right, the cut off date is a bit variable. That said, people with children whose birthdate is around the cut off for their school system should Really do some reading on how being the youngest in the class negatively affects some children. If can be SO worth it to wait the extra year.

i can't wait until this deal is over so they will stop emailing me about it. it sounds nice, but spotify hasn't failed me yet so I really don't want anything else to bother with. I'm getting emailed once or twice a day for the last week or so.

Also, “great piece of architecture”? I mean, I’m sure it functions well as a tunnel, but otherwise...I’m not convinced it is (or ever was) some groundbreaking or inspirational or whatever piece of architecture. 

Eh, a lot of folks don’t menstruate on the regular. Birth control, pregnancy, medical issues, etc. can all make you go without a period for an extended length of time. When you do get your period back, who’s gonna throw away the old box of tampons and buy new ones? No one b/c tampons are expesive.

Your mention of the Santa-kid oversized book reminds me of a great gift for kids who are tough to buy for: Those giant books that Borders (r.i.p.) used to have. I used to get them for all my nieces and nephews and cousins’ kids before I had kids of my own and, you know, actual ideas about what kids would like for…

What?! No. Sudden spikes in temperature can signal very serious infections. Please google meningitis. Also, a fever that hits 101, whether quickly or slowly, should be closely monitored and medication should be given to knock the temp down a bit. And especially if the medication does not bring the temp down, take the…

It doesn’t. They turned Chicago into a ghost town before putting it in the globe. Also, I think all snowglobes featuring Chicago should have some kind of magical physics included so that the snow only falls sideways across the landscape. Lake-effect snow is a b.

Quinn-no-ah probably. Because the Utahan who named their kid Quinoa doesn’t know anything beyond some bits of hooked on phonics they half remember. 

I just can not believe this is a delicious idea, despite everything you wrote. I’m sorry! But miso *is* great added into western dishes. Put it in your ragout next time. It’s great.

Also, something to read. If they like magazines, get them magazines and don’t judge. If they like books, get them the kind of books they like (since everyone and their pet lizard is writing a series these days this is easy - just get the next number after whatever one they just finished) and don’t judge. I read a lot…

You know there’s a number of people in the webosphere who saw this headline and muttered “challenge accepted.” Sigh.

I really really want the yellow dress from the header/trailer. It’s probably a $1000 though. <sob>

They were murdering people for stuff about as important as getting on the homecoming court. It was insane.
