Oh, no! How will I make that pear-prosecco sorbet recipe I pinned?

But why oh why didn’t she just leave, right?

Seriously. Isn’t the potential for domestic violence supposed to increase during pregnancy? I’m pretty sure that’s what a poster on the wall of my room in the maternity ward said.

Ever since I saw this video, I’ve wished my city would allow me to keep poultry.

Eating, sleeping, and getting on each other’s nerves. Observe this instance, where both were snoozing peacefully until Olivia could no longer resist pestering Amy. Often this gradually devolves into a little fuzzy fistfight.

Came to see your eyebrow-less cat, was not disappointed.

Correct. They’re sticking to their story that someone complained.

My daughter was invited to a couple of birthday parties for which I bought the birthday boys Star wars sticker books. I suggested that maybe her friends wouldn’t notice if I took out all the Poe and Hux stickers.

A wackass sci fi show about a stalker.

Oh, I understand. No apology necessary. When I first read the story, I could feel my brain melting from the stupidity. Like, no one’s died from measles in two years, really? Even if that were true, how does that indicate that a virus is no longer a threat?

The persecution complex is strong among anti vaxxers as well. I’ve heard multiple people claim recently that Andrew Wakefield was telling the truth but was silenced by Big Pharma.

Well, there was this winner who made headlines in my city last year:

Yeah, pretty much. Then again, as a Canadian I grew up with the Littlest Hobo, and the original series of that show predates them both.

Yeah, I saw that. Bummer. He seemed like a cool guy.

Now I’m showing my ignorance because I had to look him up.

I may be revealing my age here, but it’s just too appropriate.

I have a fatty too, but she’s on a diet. Her name is Olivia, but I often call her Special Puddy Poohskins because in that Burts Bees documentary Burt was calling his dog Special Pupper Poohskins.

So this is only tangentially related, but one of the things I do when I’m snuggling with my cats is lovingly call them “cat” in every language I can think of (I’ve done my research). The Korean word (roughly “goyang-yee”) is among my favourites to say.

I went lacto-ovo about 14 years ago (i now eat seafood), and even within that community online back in 2002 things could get really ugly. There was a hierarchy, and stricter vegetarians and vegans tended to get really snooty about it. Passive aggressive callouts galore. I got fed up with the whole thing really fast.
