She is going to have to try harder than that if she wants me to believe she comprehends anything in there.

I have made myself aghast a time or two (NOT many, thank goodness) where something definitely racist came out of my mouth. Let me preface this by saying I was raised in the PNW in a very small town where the most “exotic” family were the Wong’s. And they owned the one “Chinese” restaurant in town (and I put that in…

Well, if they were touring DC and didn’t know what Howard U is, they’re too stupid to go to college.

I’m still waiting for him to explain how chaos and destruction of everything helps nationalism. Maybe for the idjits in the crowd, but I think most of us really want things that let us live the best we can. Chaos seems antithetical to this.

Thanks - now I’m hungry!

Mola molas are COOL.

Same here. He sleeps curled up next to me and purrs me back to sleep when I wake up at night. We’ve had to make the decision in the past to have a fur baby put to sleep, and it never gets easier. We swear we’ll never get another one, but they sneak into our lives sneakily. And we love them.

I’m sorry, but I really think that photo of Melanoma shows she doesn’t have a thought in that pretty little head. Totally blank.

My thoughts exactly. slightly.... incoherent.

There is no easy answer. We have friends that we are closer to than actual family, and their SIL is border patrol. He managed to alienate my husband from them by being a total asshole, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Try telling a Nam vet that he has no voice in saying what he thinks about various things…

Someone who would wear a t-shirt like that and demand her biracial kid take her out in public rates a definition of ‘blood is not thicker than safety’ tag.

Breitfart is So BUTTHURT right now. It’s actually interesting to read the comments - but I’m still confused by why they think stevie is a populist.

I went to the Seattle Art Museum to see their Japanese clothes exhibit - OMG, the things they came up with! (This was fairly modern, btw, no kimono or such.)

And possibly more deadly. The stuff they used in them....

We always had the “one bite” rule. Never demanded she like everything, but she had to try it. Never had that many spit it back out on the plate moments, either.

Honest, I have parsnips in the fridge cuz... I have no idea. I am SO trying this! Thanks!

OMG, sauteed apples with sausage is to die for!

Some people never grow out of it. My BFF’s husband will eat boneless meat only, hates most veggies and fruit, rice, garlic bread, and deep-fried things from a local “Asian” chain.

Just be glad it’s not like my kid’s situation. She was the most cosmopolitan eater (just like us!) until she got IBS. Now she has to be SO careful about how she eats and dreams about eating things she took for granted for so long. We both sigh about this.

I love Japanese sweet potatoes and Okinawan purple yams. Still.... no thanks.
