I *just* watched this movie on Monday. (Nothing else to add, just happy that I can place this scene!)

I, for one, thank you for reading said timeline cos I can’t keep it all straight.

I’m Gen X but, like you, have voted in every local and national election that I’m able to since I turned 18. I drove 6 hours in 2000 to place my vote (I had to vote against the carpetbagger Hilary...oh how times have changed!).

A friend is a pilot on smaller planes and when I asked if he had been to the Azores (I was going, was looking for recs), he said that he happily hadn’t as that’s an emergency landing location for his NJ - EUR flights.

I don’t even remember how I got to the video the first time (probably here, honestly), but it’s one of my favorite pieces of absurdist comedy:

This is good to hear. I saw Natasha speak at the 92Y and she was fascinating and seems like good people in real life. I have no real take on Chloe except I can’t see her or hear her name without immediately thinking “to-ast”.

I see what you did there...

I have no recollection of my first, or most of my kisses, but I do remember one from college where I was walking back home from a party with a few friends (some lived upstairs from me) after quite a bit of booze. I shared some of my painkillers with them (I had a wisdom tooth extraction, they were recreational users)…

Yes and no. These “housing units” start at $2.6MM and run upwards of $8MM. So it’s not like she’s trying to shut down affordable housing. Also, there are height restrictions (as I’m sure you’re aware, I don’t want this comment to be NYCRealEstatesplaining, it’s not meant to be) and my understanding is that this…

So I’m chronically late, but my father is first-generation American of German parents and my mom is a few more generations from Irish/British/Lithuanian stock, all of which I assume are monochromatic cultures. I’m just really bad at time management, though I do eventually get everything done. I guess I’m a spontaneous…

I watched a bunch of episodes cos I thought “they couldn’t all be this bad” but they were. I think he was trying to prove that you could offer information in a better way for people to learn and so he made a porno on how to be a plumber or something and then showed it to unsuspecting job hunters. It might have been…

I mean on the plus side, you can wear black and have an instant llama sweater!

My parents’ dog, a Newfoundland (prob around 140 lbs) sits and stares at the dinner table when people are eating there. If you don’t finish quickly enough, he’ll start barking to hurry you up cos he knows he gets a plate with scraps on it after dinner.

My guess is a healthy dose of Mediocre White Male Confidence (tm)?

I’ve presented with Lyme at least 3 times and I’m always curious about these announcements from celebs about having it. Like I get that everyone reacts differently to it, but I side eye them a bit on just how *difficult* a time they have with it. (I then tell myself to stop judging them cos I know it’s wrong.) For me…

This happened to me and a quilting blogger I followed! I loved her quilts and seeing the progress and final projects and was excited to see when her new patterns were coming out. Once she got preggo, it was ALL ABOUT THE BABY and I DGAF about anyone’s babies.

There has been maybe one retail store that I’ve been in that does not have a public restroom. I can find them in Michaels, Joanns, Stop & Shop, etc etc. I’m trying to think if I’ve been in a Staples bathroom and I’m sure I have but can’t picture it cos I avoid that store. 

I love color, but also love to wear black so I try to mix it up. My most recent purchase is a champagne-colored fuzzy coat (think teddy bear) cut waist-length. Bonus is it’s reversible to a rip-stop jacket lined in teddy bear. I def felt conspicuous on the subway last night!

To be fair to her, she was super nice and I think she just wanted me to look “my best”. If it was not the mother of a woman I know, I would have taken it as solely rude, but since I know I looked freaking exhausted, I think she was just thinking of my face being on our website. When I said “this is what you get”, she…

Sorry, I should have qualified that some of the sneaks that she wears are the larger ones like this, or a bunch have bows on the back (but I promise they’re not Jojo Sneakers). Not something I could pull off, but fashion friend does them well (and also got samples so she didn’t spend excessively on a bunch of them).
