Look, they cannot end this show until the mystery VIPatient is actually Bono. 

Wilson is doing a lot of appearances on the spinoff, Station 19. It won't be hard for her to slide over to that one full time once Grey's ends. 

I think that she meant in addition to her talking to North, she thought it might sink in better if Mason also shared his experience. It’s not weird to ask an older kid to set an example and share things since a kid is more likely to listen to their cousin than their mom. 

This is why I do not do commission work, or sell anything I make. I knit for myself, and if I choose to take on a gift project, it’s because I want to knit the thing. There’s this woman who keeps seeing my shawl at work and asking if I’d sell it or make another one to sell, and that’s a hard no. I wish she’d stop…

Yes, but see, companies want vaccinated employees because it's better for the bottom line and the OSHA mandate is a convenient scapegoat. The average person doesn't know it's being litigated, they just blame Biden instead of their boss, which is exactly how the bosses want it. 

Oh, yes, I hate when people do the “oh poor dear” thing for me or for my kid. Yup, the thing sometimes sucks, but we are living our lives and he’s okay.

I am so sorry your parents behaved like that. Thank you for sharing this perspective. I hope we don’t make our son feel this way, and I do try to be very aware of my language around him. 

Yup. Thank you for perfectly articulating WHY everyone bringing the son into it felt so awful. Pratt didn’t say anything about his son, he used a damn cliche. 

Oh, the son will see it. And I just want to point out that Pratt may be a dick, but he wasn’t the one who turned this into a story about their son. 

I honestly think it might have been even more benign than that. I think he forgot his son wasn’t “healthy”.

The candidate lost

They see total number of check outs, not a list of people who checked out the books. You can easily record popularity data of a title without patron names being attached to the record. 

I would be surprised if the library can even access a list of students who checked out a particular book. We don’t keep records of that at all in the library where I work. Once it's turned in, I have no way to see who checked out a book in the past. 

Does the school library have a comment on if they even keep those kinds of records? I’ve never worked in a library that kept records of previous checkouts. 

I’ve worked at 3 different library systems, and none of them keep records of previous checkouts. Once the book is turned in, there's no way to see who checked it out previously, or what books a patron checked out in the past.

I know I’ve read somewhere that she has emetophobia, and phobias tend to go hand in hand with anxiety disorders and OCD, so I get what she means when she says she’d be happier if she weren’t as smart. I’d be less anxious if I could stop knowing so much too. 

The gun was a prop. The detail that was not verified, at the time, was if the prop was a working firearm. A LOT of people have misconstrued the word “prop” to mean that it was not a real gun. The author was drawing attention to the fact that we didn’t yet know if the prop gun was a real gun or a fake one. It turns out…

Because the gun was a prop gun. The thing is the word “prop” doesn’t mean fake. It means it was a prop for the movie. We just didn’t know if it was a working firearm or a fake one until later. 

The term “prop gun” leads many people to believe that the gun is not a real gun. “Prop” means “studio property”, it doesn’t mean “fake”. It was a real firearm, it just wasn’t supposed to be loaded with live ammo. 

I have found that if I preorder for a set time- like if I place my order at 10 am to pick up at noon, they just make it at 10 AM and it sits around.
