Ha! I used to have a non electric cookie press and I nearly got carpel tunnel from using it too much.

Lots of people in my family don’t celebrate Christmas, so I sorta forget that people I rarely see might think of me when buying gifts. Every December when my friend group gathers to go to the theater for whatever Star Wars movie is happening, people start handing me small gifts that they obviously put some thought…

Well, it’s not so much ostrich stuff but emu. My Mom and Stepdad are rich, and they *almost* started an emu ranch. Emu meat was supposed to be the next big thing and all their other rich friends were going to do the same.

p.s. Thank you for the kind words.

It's funny that you mention puzzles because I am doing a 3D puzzle of Notre Dame de Paris. I'm terrible at it and it will take ages to finish, but it's fascinating.

After many tries, I finally got my seitan to a texture I enjoy! Hooray, now I won’t have wasted my huge bag of vital wheat gluten

Yeah, when I took out the trash yesterday, everyone I saw either had no mask or was wearing it on their chin or some other nonsense. It’s a good thing my glasses were fogged up so they couldn’t see the death glare I was giving them.

Yup, have done this all before. As long as they don’t take the rest of my thyroid, I’ll put up with anything. Also, weight is dropping off and I ain’t even mad.

I’m so glad you finally made it there. I hope it exceeds all your expectations!

It feels as if I have a walnut permenantly stuck in my throat. At least it is keeping me from overeating. If I were rich, I’d have a house in Australia. Then I could have sunshine all year.

Lockdown started in my area again today, which is weird because I’ve basically been in lockdown since March. I had a sonogram on my throat this week and, quelle suprise, they found several nodules. So I guess I start the whole biopsy mess all over again. I want to go outside and take a walk in the sun, go to coffee…

I would teach Hamlet just so I could assign the movie Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead as extra credit

I’m a super fast reader so I tend to choose really long books. I tried and tried with both Moby Dick and Les Mis, but, even after brushing up on French history, I gave up. Speaking of crazy long books, I’m getting ready to read A Suitable Boy for the 3rd time.

If I were teaching it, I’d fill them in on all the dirty jokes.

during segregation that school was used for Black students. After segregation all students moved to a new school and the old school was empty except for suspended students. Corporal punishment= the principal strikes you on the legs or buttocks with a paddle or on the hand with a wooden ruler. The bad part about…

It wasn’t detention but In School Suspension. What happened was, I wasn’t doing my schoolwork(booooring) and got way behind. For 3 days we were shipped over to the school that had previously been used for Black students. We sat silently at desks and did our work with only bathroom breaks and 30 mins for a boxed lunch.…

Eh, I’m a recovering addict and I’m fine with having pot be legal across the country. (as are most of my recovering friends)

If I were a English teacher, I would teach it very differently than I was taught. No Moby Dick, no Silas Marner, no Catcher in the Rye. I also would be careful with Shakespeare. I used to think I hated Shakespeare because we had to read it out loud in class and/or memorize portions of Hamlet with little to no…

Doesn’t the guy in the video literally say “I don’t understand how vaccines work?” Why would anyone listen to anything he had to say? If I signed up for a calculus class, and when I got there the instructor said “I don’t have a teaching credential, and I don’t know calculus”, would anyone think it was a good idea to…

There are a lot of stories floating around about this dude. One popular one  when he was running for office was that he was biracial. (he wasn’t).
