I think it shouldn’t count if it’s that tiny! They said it was an “incipient” cavity, and that it might repair itself?! In which case, I choose to believe that I can go back to not having cavities. 🤣 🤞

Considering a dentist with crummier X-ray technology for real 🤣

Breaking news: I have my first cavity. 😫 44 years is a pretty good run. 😭

Exciting update: it was Clothestime that I exclaimed! My late-night typing is lacking.

I’ve been awake for 45 minutes trying to remember the name of a local (I think) teen girl clothing store I thought was so cool in the early ‘90s. It finally came to me, I yelled it aloud, and now I can sleep. (It was called Clothestown.) 😅

@jason.parkendium.com Brad is correct! The Disney Gallery was where I bought my first “grown up” art. 😭

I wish Pink and Gwen could be up there performing with Stevie!

Whoever the GEN Xer was that put together the talent for this concert, I thank you.

Okay Rod Stewart got me with that “here’s a new song…not!!”

Damn you Stephen Stills and Graham Nash for of course choosing this song and making me cry.

oh im not ‘supposed’ to hide in the churró batter an beg to be coated in cimminom i thought this was a democracy

25 years later I have nightmares that I am decades late for work at Michaels and it’s Thanksgiving weekend and I have to deal with everyone angry about Turkey Bucks. Turkey Bucks haunt me.

I am going to try Dry January in 2025, but since I’m already sober, I’m just not gonna drink anything at all

Day 2 of grading: so far, no grading this afternoon, because it’s obviously very important that I watch the 2023 “Heelwork to Music” international dog dance competition. (I did not know this was a thing and I recommend it, especially if you have something else you should be doing.)

Grading papers, lost in a sea of despair and futility, when @bradabbott.bsky.social unexpectedly brings me a bag of saltwater taffy. This is why we've been married for 20 years.

This excuse is obviously BS but it’s also insane how many people want kids but don’t seem to want to talk to them about anything

See a Mark Twain, post a Mark Twain

Whoo I felt that one in my classroom on the third floor in Sacramento! @myshakeapp.bsky.social gave a good warning on it too. Amazing

Oops, yes, in California!

I think off the coast near Humboldt, but there was another just now at Cobb. So Bay Area people must have felt it!

(I probably should have said I’m in Sacramento. I was too eager to post!)

Hey it’s my first earthquake check-in on Bluesky! (I didn’t feel it.)

Every year my grandma used to churn out Thanksgiving dinner for a dozen people in a very tiny galley kitchen. The older I get the more I’m amazed at what she did all the time.

Cheers to that!

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

This is not a drill: the orcas’ salmon hats are back in fashion! 💁‍♀️ www.livescience.com/animals/orca...

I’m glad it’s working out! 😅 It’s such a crapshoot sometimes till you find the best ones for you

Wow I did not know that about the Pepcid! Another fun fact: if you get Zoloft stuck in your throat and it starts to break down, it might later give you the very worst heartburn feeling you’ve ever had and you go to the hospital because you think it’s a heart attack. (“You” meaning “me.”) 😭

I’m sorry about the brain zaps, but I am glad you posted this because Brad didn’t know this is actually what people call it! He thought it was a term I made up. It’s the most accurate way to describe it. Hope it settles down soon!

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish
