So after the actual screaming match (which I wasn’t privy…
Some advice needed on what to do about my mom and my older sister. They don’t get along at all in the first place but their enmity was recently exacerbated by an incident last year in which both parties were wrong but neither will admit fault.
Hello everyone! As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m traveling to Japan in March! My flight is barely 6 weeks away and I’m DYING to get there but I’d also like to have all my ducks in a row before I leave.
Hello again everyone! (This is TamTams, by the way. I changed my name for October spooky fun). I know this is my first post in forever but I’ve been a busy bee at work and kinda mostly lurk now. But I’m just bursting to say that my best travel buddy and I are going to Japan next year in the spring!
New York Times is reporting that Scaramucci is out on the advice of new Chief of Staff John Kelly.
I finally got an email back from a job that I’d really really like. The boss wants to set up an interview and is impressed by my resume but it starts in late May (if I get it) and I’ve got a family vacation scheduled for the first week of June. It’s been scheduled for about a year and no, I won’t not go.

Hello! My best friend is having a baby shower and while I’m getting her something off her registry for the baby, I’d like to get her a more personal gift so she can have something nice for herself since I know people get very baby-focused and forget about the mom.
I just got this email from the SPLC:
The Washington Post has a great recap of some of the stuff we should be paying attention to. I find that there is just so much terrible shit going on that I can’t keep up so this was a great way to see what I need to see with links to more in-depth stories.
Der TinyFingers can’t even keep a cover band on the docket for one of the inauguration balls. Sad!
Duolingo has a free separate app with flash cards called Tinycards for easier memorization of lots of words. It’s currently just for iOS but they’re planning on expanding to Android soon.
I could not stop laughing at this. This is the only way I can stand listening to him talk. Turn the sound up and enjoy.
In case people missed it and would like to join, offkilterpendulum started a German Duolingo Club and I started a French one. The clubs are only on the app so far, so update your apps if you haven’t and want to join a club.
Buzzfeed is reporting that another national brand has hired one of those male Instagram youths to be the face of a campaign. He’ll be spokes modelling for a new mascara. He’s named Manny Gutierrez and I can see why they chose his for mascara because the boy does LASHES with his make-up looks.
