hey, i’m a day late (and i apologize if someone else already made this suggestion) but i drove from Connecticut to Florida in a 2018 Honda CR-V in one shot back in June and it was astoundingly comfortable to drive for an entire day!

starred for the (purposeful?) spelling of “concussion” here

slow and steady is so much more effective long term! i was in decent shape when i was in high school but the last 8 years my weight has been doing languid yo-yos (highly correlated with my gym-goings) - this all to say, don’t get discouraged if your progress seems to stall out - exercise as a weight loss method is…

he did an episode on House of Lies where he was playing the douchebag version of himself, and it was a gem

i think the whole scenario was probably mentioned as a joke, or at least as a throwaway remark - like when Stassi goes full-on demonic for 4 seconds in Vanderpump Rules season one and says “i am the devil, and don’t you forget it” - and because he is a narcissistic asshole who wants to control/harass/toy with his…

when i was in college i went to make a left turn and there was a motorcyclist behind me who was following too close and he had to bail out and skidded probably 30 feet. he wasn’t hurt, stood up, etc. and even that close call had me shaking for the rest of the day. and he was fine!

this is what i do. i technically have seven pillows on/around my bed, but they’re all normal bed pillows. i only sleep on one or two depending on how cranky my spine is, and then i make a fun little cocoon with some of the others.

i think the lack of Random capitalizations and only one parenthetical aside means it’s not him

when i get steamingly angry, i cry involuntarily and i HATE it because it totally overshadows whatever the actual issue is and turns into me being “upset” - which is the same emotion as angry, just expressed by women and therefore given a word that is more easily dismissed

i read the book when the series was premiering but have not yet actually watched it (which is something i need to fix, soon)

my bf types “ugh” sometimes in text messages when i am 98% sure he means “uhh” (which is what he would say out loud if the conversation were being held in meatspace rather than over text) and i haven’t said anything and am waiting for this to become a larger issue

I was a certified lifeguard for 7 years (so i did the course three times total) and step number TWO - after “assess the situation and figure out what happened” - for pretty much any injury worse than a scrape/bruise is “instruct a specific person to call 911"

i’m this way with anti-vaccine people - i just can’t bite my tongue and let it slide

i took the LSAT in September and when i took the prep course the instructor made us practice the cursive paragraph every time we would do a practice test in class - she told us it was always one of the hardest parts of the test, even though its just copying a paragraph verbatim

i’ve been to the Coven house too! kind of by accident, and we did the same quick photos it sounds like you did

definitely ask the OT for other local resources - even if it’s just another parent or two from the practice who would be willing to talk to you about their approaches, etc.

could also maybe be a 2011-2014 black passat, given the blur from the surveillance video - but i definitely agree, it’s some kind of pre-2015-facelift VW

i learned how to drive manual on my dad’s ‘97 wrangler in backcountry Fairfield County, which is just hills and curves, and it was indeed very forgiving for this beginner

this is mostly unrelated but if you have Amazon Prime you can get a digital subscription to the Washington Post - first 6 months are free and then its $3.99/month after that!

someone also needs to take Bernie aside and remind him that he is old as fuck and should not run again because it takes all the wind out of the Dems’ (very valid!) argument that Trump is too old for the office (because he clearly has dementia, and it will probably have progressed by the primaries, and that should be…
