My daughter bought too much, and realized that the huge bag of chocolates could be frozen and chopped up later to use in her homemade ice cream, so that was a win.

Saw her a few years ago, just her, piano, guitars, and a cellist that did background vocals. She told stories about the songs, and the one that got me was when a woman told her that she had Possession as the first dance at her wedding, and Sarah was like, should I tell her it's about a stalker?

Every damm year. But I'm guessing that there are 1000s of folks on auto renew that have no idea about this game the rest of us play each year.

We were never huge beef eaters, however it's now an occasional burger or steak if the fam is at dinner. I'm working on incorporating more mushrooms and beans into meals to replace the beef.

SB gonna be epic, as his performances are primarily in his native language. 😁

One of the strange things about the argument made by Ezra Klein, Adam Jentleson, Matt Yglesias and others that Dems need to moderate their policies and expand the Senate map is that it oddly ignores how remarkably successful Dems are in winning statewide races in swing states 🧵

MA native, a bit sheltered re other cultures. A "very flamboyant" classmate introduced us to RHPS. His wardrobe was edgy, and he wore a pink triangle pin. But yes, he got all of us to listen to the soundtrack and we memorized EVERY word, and every comeback. Sadly, I wasn't allowed go see it.

Hell no.

... why not. We're in row CCC, and are in the back of the covered area and the usher said, oh honey, you're way down there. We were 3rd row, car stage, and there was Bonnie Raitt, Sarah, Meshell Ndegeocello, Merchant, Bonham, Vega (etc). So many great artists on outer stages. Best concert ever.

We went 2x, can't wait to see it. Hubby was in line for tix, in the rain, coat and bucket hat on, clearly not a scalper. They showed him tix way in the back, and he asked, are those the best seats? Agent looked at him, and then asked supervisor, can I sell these? They both look at him and say ...

I was hired the same day as a BW in engineering. We became friends, and I learned the reality of her experience vs mine. It taught me a lot in real time. Forever grateful for her to share POV and it opened my eyes to .. a lot.

And then there's JT who's making money from his book, and yet, will wait 3+ years to write another one about p47.

I wanna know why C-f-A doesn't show Carlos and Ebony in its commercials. 🤔

The "I have done so much for YOU PEOPLE" just slayed me. Dr. Pepper all over the keyboard, because, ahem, you are so correct., and yet, some of "those people" will never listen or learn.

We still mince/microplane, however the tubes are great for marinades as it whisks in nicely.

"I've been thinking a lot lately just about collegiality, professionalism, getting along and bridging disagreements, but then I decided, FTBW."

We rewatch these every once in a while as there's a lot of detail. I read TH and LOTR in 5th grade (nana was a librarian) and it was a lot. Hub and I are going to rewatch The Umbrella Academy again as there was so much we forgot from seasons 1-2, so the ending was confusing, lol

A relative named her ferret Watts because of this movie.

I broke down trying to tell this story to my husband. Sobbed.

Hunger Doesn’t Take a Summer Break You’d think feeding kids would be uncontroversial, but here we are.

When faced with the reality of children in their community going without food, many conservatives actually find it difficult to pursue ideological purity over basic compassion. Imagine that.
