I‘ll wait until July when (hopefully) everything has melted and teach them then. Folks are entirely too fragile now (what with the broken bones from the ice.)

Wise!!

It has been an interesting winter here. Layers of ice/snow/ice/freezing rain/melt/ice/snow. Just a mess.

Perfectly reasonable. I‘m hoping for that exact amount for you.

Do you want it to snow? If so, I hope it does.

Across many years as a parenting columnist, I've written about vaccine heistancy multiple times. Each time, I've tried to be sensitive and empathetic to these people but, if I'm honest, nothing has ever gotten closer to my true feelings about them than this meme from a decade ago.

It is snowing again and I cannot even tell you how sick I am of snow.

I think one of our big problems is that we’re limiting Dickensian villain ghost visits to just one night a year like clearly the market can sustain some expansion

Oh my goodness this is awful! I‘m so sorry this happened to her. Oh so awful.

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Cúchullain didn't die defending Ireland from Margaret Thatcher at the Battle Of Clontarf for you to put something other than plain, Catholic sugar on your pancakes

Run for the border sure but not if it involves stairs.

BRB, gotta delete my discover feed to bring my blood pressure down.

And it‘s not just her. They have a reason for every potential candidate. Grow the fuck up. Wake the fuck up. Look at what is at stake.

Oh my goodness. He‘s practically set the world on fire and people are on this damn app saying they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for AOC because they don’t like her voice. We‘re never getting out of this.

ISTG people are so dumb.

A woman finally manages to stop laughing enough to explain to her friend that she just sent a message to her boss apologising for forgetting a task, and re-reading it has realised she’d written ‘Sorry, menopause Brian.’

Billy Elliot maybe? Or any of the Paddingtons?

I’m here for Canada curling cheating drama and Norwegian biathlon cheating drama and I am especially here for them being two completely different kinds of cheating dramas

I’m going to keep sharing this PSA: although the MMR is usually given at 12 and 18 months, your baby can get a first dose as early as 6 months. They will still need the other two doses, because immunity doesn’t stick at that age, and insurance may not cover it. But it’s protection.

A drawing of three speed skaters (by me!)
