I remember in the early aughts sitting in my home office taking a break from writing code and then checked the online news. I do not remember what I read but it had political impact, and it made me audibly grunt which got the attention of the guy I was dating at the time.

I’m not a chef and I have never forgiven Flay for that. I saw an interview with Morimoto and apparently he has. Classy guy.

Maybe the author states as I read “tap water” as coming from the tap. Either well or “city” water comes from the tap. If you are old enough, you might remember people who still had hand powered well pumps that were sometimes in the house, sometimes not. Some people still do - it’s just uncommon now.

There’s a lot of people in the country that still that has well water. I just sold my house with an abundance of delicious free and tested safe well water. While I am temporarily renting a place with what growing up was called “city water” that includes a water (and sewer) bill - I’ve decided my next house will…

“For the uninitiated, Magic Shell is the Smucker’s term for an ice cream topping”

“But what happens to Zeke .... ?” “...... will Ruth somehow get involved?”

Titus, maybe he likes the wine and not the label.

This yummy 72 pinto wagon. I’m saving the stories for my grandkids.

I’m going to pretend this isn’t a troll because it’s a good discussion to have.

I was going to say best dressed was Wanda Sykes and Zendaya but Nicey was a good choice too. Also - I want Wanda Sykes as my fairy God Mother in that suit. I want her to beam down just like that and give me sassy advice. Hell, Wanda could read the phone book and that would be fine with me.

The subtle difference between someone who is an asshole and one who is a douchebag is that the asshole is self-aware. It really is hard to tell which is Cruz.
