Not to mention the fact that the battery is unreplaceable. I learned this when I asked my mom about hers at Thanksgiving, whether it was a fun gadget. She groaned. Apparently this fact wasn’t well advertised.

I’d love one of these, but alas; I live in a split level.

“We needed her alive here,” Johnson said. “Mostly because I wanted to hang out with Gwendoline Christie.”

Thanks. It’s a hell of a thing these days to have a solid, good paying job, and I shouldn’t be complaining about it really. I’m sort of at a point in my life where I’m unhappy at work and unhappy at home and ready to throw the whole thing out and start over, but I can probably ... be less impulsive than that.

What if you still don’t know what you want to do, but are significantly unhappy in your chosen profession?

I didn’t used to like gift cards as a gift, it seems lazy and not very thoughtful, and if you’re going to give money, why not give money? As an adult, I no longer feel that way. I love gift cards now.

It really did get going hard once it got going, it just needed some time to ramp up. I get it, though! AoS really did need a stronger start to grab people. I’m glad I stuck it out.

Season 1 was really the only flop. Once it found its feet, it took off running. Binge it. :P

I’m pretty sure as long as you can melt the butterscotch chips, you can do it however you want. Microwave, saucepan, leave the bowl in a hot car ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My friend’s bachelorette party featured a cheese ball that might have just been cream cheese and dark chocolate chips. Served with graham crackers, nilla wafers, and the like.

Yeah, a close family friend of ours just LOVES to sleep with her kids. Her youngest girl (almost 6) hates the feeling of sleeping alone, so her room sleeps guests for now. She’ll transition when she’s ready, I think.

Hrglblaaarf. That is all.

Lol, I was trying to keep it slightly safer for work than “actually she’s a horny siren with her vag out” but yeah, she totally is. I think it’s delightful the most mainstream coffee shop that anybody has ever heard of has a horny siren for a logo.

It’s not just any mermaid, either. It’s a siren with her legs/split fin spread.

Yeah, I think if I’m gonna learn Japanese (or French, for that matter) it’ll have to be the old fashioned way. Teach me conjugation, flashcard drills for memorization, repeat repeat repeat. Duolingo is probably good for vocab practice, but I don’t think it’s enough on its own.

I started the Japanese app, but the problem with Duolingo for me is that is doesn’t ever sit down and give you foundational information. It asks you what character makes a sound, and when you get it wrong, it tells you the answer. It doesn’t teach you grammar, it teaches you phrases. Maybe this works well for some…

I used to do this. Downside: makes you jingly.

ME TOO!

I grew up with one in my hometown, and it’s so little and cheap, I just assumed it was a local thing. I was shocked when I eventually found out that it’s a nationwide chain.

This sounds really good. I’m looking for a salad to bring to a “Friendsgiving” work potluck this Friday, and I think this has made the finals. Feel like sharing rough measurements for the dressing?
