Not to point out the obvious but they'd be more likely to respect your wishes not to be contacted if you remove the email address

Honestly I've always struggled with understanding how people learn things and this is the clearest explanation I've heard. I think I'll keep it in my brain.

Popcorn is my primary samefood; has been since I was a kid. I'm an old woman know and only recently discovered that there are more kinds than the yellow grocery store kind. Thinking of becoming a popcorn connoisseur.

Honestly it's not that easy to explain to folks who don't follow politics, even harder to explain to the younger subset of that group that don't even watch local or network news (or TV at all, really).

If you go to ACE Hardware close enough to closing on Saturday they'll just give you all the popcorn left in the big glass popcorn popper.

I'm only 30 pages into the book so far but i already feel so validated and even have new words to describe the "food weirdness" I've been ashamed of all my (50yo) life. Also did you choose the papers for your book yourself? Because they are excellent, sensory-wise. So smooth, so matte 🩡

$2.50/hr in 1988

(min wage was $5/hr at the time but apparently we could be paid less because we could get tips - but nobody ever told us that, and we *never* got tips. Customers ordered food at the counter, we took it out to them when it was ready. Nobody tipped for that, in the 80s, at least.)

This is the worst! Like, yep that's the file I was looking for, and thanks for at least telling me what date I received it (really tiny), I guess I'll just have to search for all mail from that sender and scrollllllll on back

Vehicle for delivering salt. My cat just licks them for the salt when she finds them on the floor then leaves the soggy leftover part for her dog siblings to clean up (dogs'll eat anything)

Sounds great as long as the rest of the time it runs 30 minutes ahead to trick me into getting places on time

Yeah that whole thing's been super shady. On quality though I'm more concerned that Mt. Shasta (the city) has had to chlorinate their water supply several times in recent years (though that could be due to issues down the line) & potential pesticide runoff from the less scrupulous cannabis grows.

God I hope they don't actually can it at Shasta Springs... I'm not even sure it was truly safe for people to be consuming that water in the wild a hundred years ago, but I would definitely advise against it now

I used to do home care for a couple of adults, roommates, with disabilities. One was ~15 yrs older than the other. I advocated for them with providers so I had access to their info. All I can say is that one had an autism diagnosis and the other's diagnosis had words in it we don't use anymore.

I wondered at what point they'd realize that by demonizing his detractors for posting certain of the man's own quotes in the wake of his death that they'd complicated their own relationship with the content of those quotes.

Delighted to find that the actual pieces are only 3-5x as long as the headline, although I imagine I'll be just as delighted when I inevitably click on a future headine expecting a short only to find a fully-annotated 15-minute read on some obscure topic

A very large black dog with white splotches on her snout and paws is laying on a sofa with her long back legs extended towards her front parts. Her head was resting on the arm of the sofa, but she lifted it a bit to look at the camera. A smaller, but still pretty big, cattle dog who is black with a white stripe down his nose is curled up with his head resting on the bigger dog's butt.
