OK, if they’re using a dilator and a bottle brush to collect the samples.

weird, but intriguing.

Oh absolutely not

Relatable. I have had similar feelings after my second hour on the slopes when I can’t get a skill to work, although I’d definitely be worse off in the trees.

Recorder yes, ukulele no.

They are SO HUGE. I lived in Alaska one summer and one night a few came into the yard of a house hosting a party. They are like volkswagens on stilts.

I took a bus to a class last week and they had tables set up outside multiple stops during commute time. I respect the hustle!

Oh now I need to see this!

Bless you. This was necessary for today.

Anecdotally, I switched from an HMO to. PPO last year and asked the doc about titers for MMR. All clear except each titer test was about $200 my insurance didn’t cover. I could have gotten a booster fully covered. YMMV.

I was in a project where they used this for probability of success, even after I told them why it made me snort every time.

Same. it's so, so helpful, especially in the wee hours.

FX’s renewal of FX's decision to look past allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez signals a troubling disregard for survivors.

2nd line was my first shot at the blue approach. Red herrings. Purple was not the answer I thought it would be so that was mostly luck.

It would! maybe I should try it.

I read “draw an animal with the wrong feet” as drawing using your foot to hold the pencil, but use your non-dominant foot to draw the animal.

I may need a nap.

When you’re right, you’re right. Whew.

Well there is a restaurant in western San Francisco called Thanh Long and the roasted dungeness crabs with butter and garlic noodles on the side are arguably sexy! You get a bib and make a mess, I love it.

I want one!

I just had this for the first time last week! Surprisingly refreshing.

I’ve heard of some places that set out salt and cumin shakers. …Intrigued.

A narrow unfinished oak cabinet hung on a wall with wallpaper showing green plants on a white background. The door now has painted plants (white plant like the plants on the wallpaper, blue pointed leaves, yellow circles for accents, and a heavy black outline of an orchid-like flower with pink accent. Black wiggles representing spirally branches twist across the door).

My sister in law wanted some art on her unfinished cabinet door. Plants in the drawing mirror plants elsewhere in the room. Acrylic paint and paint pen. 2025 #ArtAdventCalendar

Ugh so good. I think I hollered out loud the first time I saw the confessional scene.

I prefer the movie, which in the 90s we called “Melrose Space”, but recently read the book and it was interesting in an inside view of military officer development way.
