Furniture stores are hurting economically right now. They’re not about to turn down the money from folks who live in a gated community. Travis Miller means nothing to them, even if he is a employee.

A working class black guy against a couple of white male wealthy homeowners? If he’s lucky all it will cost him is a shitload of lawyer’s fees that he can’t afford.

More likely, based on my friends’ marriages, they were rolling their eyes at what dumbasses their husbands were being. And half of them knew they couldn’t say a thing about it because they were running out of excuses to give the kids about where the bruises came from.

Starts to agree with you. Remembers I own a vagina. Never mind.

I’m not a fan of celery either, but sweet relish and celery salt are a great pair.

I defy you to find anything George III did that was worse than your average slave owner did to their property.

Oh, honey, you know he’s an InfoWars devotee.

And the Texas Supremely White Court ruled in her favor today. Because of course they would.

That’s not moaning; it’s yawning.

At least it was just water. You earned one golden Pandemic Parenting Point.

The trick I learned decades ago with carbonara is to add pasta water to temper the eggs before adding them to the pasta. Makes it much less likely they will scramble.

Eggs in cacio e pepe? Milk? Abomination!

At the beginning of The Great Pause, my local grocery store was cleaned out of almost all the ordinary cheap pasta. Ironically, they’re often/usually out of stock on bucatini whenever I want it, but this time I was able to get several boxes plus some ditalini to stash for later.

Wyze released firmware to convert their camera to a webcam, and they’re in stock and shipping fairly quickly. There’s a bit of a fisheye effect, but the flashing is easy and reversible, plus it’s 1080p resolution, so it’s a great deal for $25.

You can even do the French press solution with cold milk, should you want to. I don’t know why you would, but you can.

The grey dog (Weimaraner) photo guy is William Wegman. He’s still around and is a talented painter, too. The rainbow cat cartoons? Are you thinking of B. Kliban? He died in 1990.

ART is Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I haven’t used it myself, so can’t speak to its effectiveness. But as a fellow anxious person, I feel you, man. Mine manifests in agoraphobia, which has been ironically funny these past weeks, as I’m sure you can imagine.

My husband is, too, and in fact we went to TJ’s yesterday on the way home from his oncology visit. If I was going to shop in person, TJ’s would be the place I would do it. Their safety procedures are about as good as they can get, provided the shoppers follow along. Most did, but a couple of young immortals decided…

I was there yesterday, too, and my experience was the same as yours. It’s the first time I shopped in person in many weeks. We were nearby for a medical appointment and since the nearest store is an hour from home, we decided to go by and stock up on some favorites. No sanitizer, but we did get toilet paper.

And yet, when I wanted to get a couple of things at Lowe’s, they were tagged “in store purchase only” (which is fine, though it implies their inventory system is having a hard time keeping track accurately) but it also meant I couldn’t even find out where in the store they would be. I had to figure out the product…
