Thank heaven for small mercies.

I feel you. My building is on a small plaza in a very touristy town. There are buskers out all the time. Right now it's not so bad because it's winter so we have the windows closed. But man, summer sucked listening to the same whiney wailing angsty dude every day.

Ugh, I feel for your friend. That dude sucks, and her stupid friends suck too. Sounds like she has a good friend in you though. That should help balance out the bad. Best wishes for her.

A second vote for teal. Wish I could skate, those are pretty sweet.

Yes lentils! I know it's the crunchy hippy vegetarian cliche, but I love them. So easy and so tasty.

I write a vegetarian, gluten-free blog so of course I follow a ton of other food blogs. These are some of my favorites:

Aww, the little tongue. And that little tuft of hair! Too cute!

1. Unfortunately, I lack a trove of beard pics/gifs.

Not much to add aside from yes, those people suck. Especially the dad person.

Your Mom sounds awesome. You can tell her a random internet stranger wishes her the best. Cheers!

Homemade "barks" are really easy. Can be chocolate or white chocolate and you tailor the toppings to the giftee.

First, congratulations!

Man that sucks. You did what you could. Getting physically involved in that situation would not have been safe. No point in being down on yourself.

Yes, Peaky Blinders is fantastic. I thought the 1st season was better than the 2nd, but I did enjoy them both. I'm rather upset there's not more for me to binge watch.

I started running with Couch to 5K 5 years ago and am still at it. I really like how it eases you into the process.

I can get on board with "Yay pantsuits!" but not this one, too frumpy.

Am I missing something? This does not look flattering at all. Too much fabric.

Anyone else getting a Little Richard vibe? I apparently haven't seen Chris Rock in a while and that's all I keep thinking.

I don't actually drink much soy milk, so I'm not really sure what nutty aftertaste you're referring to. Like any nog, it's pretty sugared up, so I'd say sweet is the dominant flavor.

I got some a couple days ago! I'm drinking it now. :)
