Then again, I loved AM radio when I was a child because it crackled.

Vinyl’s the best. It just is. I love holding records. The way they feel in my hands. The way they take up space on the shelves. They feel real in a way digital radio and mp3s don’t. I even love the ones that don’t have superior sound quality because they’re old and busted.

A&E waiting rooms are hell on earth. Corridors are lined with beds full of the infirmed. Patients hooked up to drips openly weep in their chairs. Some have been here for 29 hours. 6 week waiting times for ultrasounds. It does not make you feel safe. It makes you feel like you’re going to die.

Hello Kevin! You’re lovely. I had a betta when I was girl. She was called Asta Red and I thought she was the most beautiful fish in the world. I bet your boy thinks the same about you.

The year I moved to Los Angeles young Misti put on her Christmas list that she wanted the Beach Boys to come live with us. Because she loved Little Surfer Girl so much.

Thank you for this. It is not the time. It is time to be a helper. My sister was at her friend’s house in Altadena when it was evacuated. My stepdad evacuated my childhood home. My mother is housing evacuees and their pets. Everyone I know has evacuated, lost a home, or is housing evacuees.

I have to know. Is Lalita a Swiftie too?

As baby Edith used to sing and still does, “It callllll me.” No s. It call me.

Use a gif to show where you’re from.

Thank you. I always feel that the pies are the real main event at Thanksgiving dinner. No one gives a fig about the turkey. Not really. It’s just a vehicle for gravy and cranberry sauce.

I look forward to tasting my way through this series.

All true. Here are some ghosts of Thanksgiving Past.

Post you from a different era of your life.
