I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.

Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

That is an excellent idea that I will be stealing

How am I? Well I just bought some hot fudge that I fully intend to eat straight from the jar while my kids are at school tomorrow, so you tell me

Basically

HOW DARE YOU

Also: accurate

I have thrown a lot of energy into house projects. Decluttering & organizing, caulking & painting, building furniture...basically anything that keeps my body & brain occupied & looks noticeably better when I'm done

While I don't understand how my state went for Trump AND Gallego, passed both props that will further enable attacks on immigrants & the unhoused AND codified abortion rights...I guess I'll take the wins where I can?

What a weird mixed bag though

Same. It's not Reader but it's a decent substitute

Maybe I'm just coldhearted & cynical, but I'm not sure having a "special sale" is really a "sweet way to memorialize" your pet. It looks less like grieving something you loved & more like trying to make an extra buck off a dead dog.

🎵ONE DAY MORE
Another day, another destiny
This never-ending road to Calvary
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time
ONE DAY MORE 🎵

Yup. It's a recent change and doesn't seem to have a purpose. Unless it's to remind the girls that they matter less.

My 12yo daughter is so mad they don't even have a class name & the boys do. Which is fair.

Yes. Knowing the kind of housing in these areas, they're 100% pulling in apartments & smaller houses with legit McMansions to make the wards a little more diverse, economically speaking

That's the case even in suburbs. Some parts of town are more likely to have housing that meets the needs of families with older kids than others. They'll have to do some weird gerrymandering to get the balance they're hoping for

3 YW groups aren't even the standard anymore. If there aren't enough girls, you can lump them all into one class. Again, a specific number of men (even young men) is required/expected but the women are *whatever*

I can't figure out why I'm fully on board with wide legs but boot cuts & flares feel too weird

Trying to update some email lists for a volunteer project & it is so unsurprising that the page of poets is the most chaotic thing 😂

Can you really call it a Black Friday sale if it ends *before* Thanksgiving?

Getting a little tired of the way the holiday season keeps creeping earlier & earlier & I fully blame capitalism

Linda Keating. I don't hate it

This made me snort & that tells you everything you need to know about my college experience

No ends justify these means

How could you have known?

Listen, I'm not a swifty but I am very much looking forward to the album she will eventually write about this football man

I cannot stop laughing about this. It feels like old times in the best way

I love everything about these

Hey! Fellow olds! Go get a mammogram!

I feel like such a fool

Y'all. Y'all. I paid $500+ and have been waiting for three months to have chairs for my dining table delivered.

Turns out I ordered cushions. Not the actual chairs. Just the seat cushions. I may never stop screaming

I want to scream at someone. I will instead be writing a strongly worded email

I don't know whose idea this was but we are now in a blood feud. And I will be donating to the school library & my kids' teachers instead. BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT
