When Trump was visiting the Queen during the NATO summit, the queen is obviously urgin Princess Anne to come and meet Trump. Anne makes a face and refuses to move near until Trump leaves. Good for her.

This is some brilliant writing right there. Like laugh-out-loud-and-scare-your-sleeping-dog funny. Your posts have been the highlight of this season, and now I can’t stop repeating “giddy windmill-banger.” Thank you!

You’re right about required summer reading. The quickest way to get young adults into anti fiction readers is to constantly stick them with the most earnest message books, regardless of literary quality.

But Tortilla Curtain is a dreadful book.

There’s also a fashion forward subset of Virginia Tech (aka they who bleed maroon and orange) who are losing their minds over Ivy Park. https://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2020/january/10/so-apparently-beyonce-hokie

“Steaming Noodles”

Parents with more than one sick kid are that busy. What’s more, I usually have a low grade version of whatever the kids have and can then barely drive a car. I used Instacart four times this past year, loading up on such fun items as pedialyte and clorox wipes. It’s a luxury borne of living in a high density area, but…

Jameela Jamil. She’s horrible at baking (as evidenced by her own GBBO appearance) but she seems like she could be a good support and wouldn’t play second fiddle to Noel’s antics. This is the third time I’ve thrown her name in today in a comments section. I really should be working right now.

Jameela Jamil. She already laid waste to any thought of bake talent when she appeared in the holiday episode, but she seems like she’d be good at egging people on and could stand up to Noel’s lunacy.

If you absolutely have a pressing need for fake plants or flowers (Like perhaps you’re a pre-school teacher and my god it’s March and too early for leprechaun traps and we need a theme to hold these kids’ interests yesterday and how about reading the Root Children and pretend to be all the seasons including a flowery…

I live on the edge of the campus of a large university. On weekend nights it’s like a circus of spin eyed young folk banging into parked cars, people, and trees with their rented scooters. If nothing else it’s demonstrated to my kids that only idiots ride without a helmet.

It does! Everyone seems to be okay with initial shock and grief, but then you’re supposed to settle into a quiet ‘missing her/him’ sort of state that won’t annoy the neighbors. I wanted to be fully on board with that and was angry at myself that I couldn’t.

I told myself I was done grieving for my father. I believed that my being busy ( I was pregnant, had three little ones, was worried about my mom, work) caused me to process the sadness quicker. I was wrong. Over six months later—when spring had come, my kids were fine and my mother in a better place—I started having…

Watch the videos the post has linked. You’ll change your mind.

People who made Craft made Dick? That makes so much sense--although I liked Dick better. (add whatever joke you want here)

She didn’t, but there was an epic blow out over it that family members still talk about.

I spent an awful hour at a Christmas party locked in the guest bedroom of my FIL and step MIL’s house, trying to figure out if I should tell my step MIL’s grown daughter that her mother was about to cut her off financially. The woman was a sponge full of rotten choices, but you couldn’t help but feel badly for her…

I’ve been told that, in terms of Dr. Who, I have no taste. I also really like “The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe.” Leave me to my shame.

I’m throwing more Community love—”Abed’s Christmas” And “Regional Holiday Music.” are hands down full ass festive.

Great article! My 2020 resolution is to make one of these:
