All he's missing is the whiplash neck brace...

The Mayan aspect really threw me, though it has one of the most fascinating texts: The Popol Vuh. Somehow I don’t see Goop advising growth through football with the lords of the underworld, though....

Don’t forget it really gave organized crime a huge leg up! 

Thanks, yeah as a vegetarian I always have to qualify that I’m not one of “those” vegetarians. I just don’t like meat, I never have. That fact has never stopped keto or paleo people from counseling me. I’m all for people doing what works for them, and providing info if someone asks. But unsolicited diet advice about…

That’s where my live and let live attitude falls, when something works for you, I’m all for it. My grandma had type II and was diet controlled. It’s usually not those folks who get preachy, it’s the ones who think keto (or any one diet) is a cure for everyone and everything. As a vegetarian, I have a few friends who…

Please yes! The few people I know who do keto are the preachiest people I’ve ever known (and I’m a vegetarian-of the non preach variety).

Don’t take my YouTube please! It’s really the only platform that lets me connect with other small scale musicians and dancers/choreographers all around the world to collaborate or commiserate. 

I thought the same thing, that’s a huge house and grounds for just over 5 mil. I live in Va (not even the most expensive part!) and there are houses around my apartment that aren’t half as large and sometimes don’t have a yard to speak of and would come very close to that price point. Though the houses in my area are…

Yeah thanks to so many prior data breaches (Anthem, Target, Equifax) I have credit monitoring for the rest of my natural life. No one’s taking my Wawa.

I've gone to a couple cookie parties and everyone took home their creations or exchanged with others at the party. 

I never got to do this as a kid until I was at a friend’s house for a sleepover. My mom was a dental hygienist. Plus I had issues with my teeth early on, so sugar was basically absent in our house (making it hugely desirable). Needless to say, not being used to sugar I got embarrassingly/violently ill from noshing on…

One of my landlords put carpeting in our house, we requested something durable because we had two dogs and a cat. Normally I wouldn’t want hardwood floors covered, but some idiot had painted them brown!

I got lost at fur = pubic hair. Never made that connection in my life, with real or faux fur. This piece was....a lot.

Oddly, my brother and his first wife did get that advice! They’d done counseling (started with secular and then she pushed for religious counseling). They were at an impasse with two young kids and were on the verge of arguing in front of them. Both counselors recommend they separate so they could co-parent without…

Because "meta" got cancelled in 2008?

I guess when I hear robots, my mind goes to AI and AI related hysteria.

My parents are both in their 80s and super active. My mom needed a way to exercise that didn’t involve too much stress on her knee after she cracked her kneecap (she’s a klutz). Her ortho recommend an indoor bike after PT. My dad needed something he could do indoors during the winter months when walking wasn’t an…

I can never get over how cute his feet are!! Which seems like the oddest thing out of context.

Exactly where my mind went!

I live in a blue bubble in Virginia, so I’m always anxious when a general election comes up. The commonwealth has been trending blue for a while now, voting Democratic in the last 3 presidential elections. But I’ve learned not to assume that the trend is always forward.
