A friend of mine just retired from the airport. He meets up with his friends to recreate their coffee klatch every few months. It was hard work, but he makes more in retirement than he ever made working.

Prepare for the ‘vid shot taking you down for a bit.

Nah. You’re good! I’m weirdly picky about food textures.

I wasn’t aware that anyone over the age of 10 actually drank milk! Cheese and ice cream I’m ok with, milk just grosses me out.

Between allergies and colds, my nose would be always red! For a bit they had antiviral tissues that were impregnated with citric acid and that ruined my nose.

As cold and allergy season ramps up, let me remind you that buying the lotion tissues will save your nose, but if you wear glasses, write yourself a note on them to not use on your glasses.

I think J is a few years older than you. It doesn’t do a great job of holding up, but he understood why it was an important movie. (The whole kids left alone in weird situations that’s a GenX hallmark)

Given how many people I know named heather, it really is a block! I made J watch Goonies last year because he had never seen it.

Why can’t they start the timer from when you called??

I have not seen Titantic or Heathers.

I bought a new hand held carpet cleaner because cats and I cleaned the seats on my dining room chairs and I can’t believe how filthy the water was. The fabric is cream colored and the cats slobber on them but this was offensive.

It *could* be an ARC, so I’m just going to have to wait and see. Usually I don’t forget what I ordered cause I’m excited for it.

I was always so jealous of the girls that would round off into the ropes. I could barely do normal jump rope.

I got a notification for a package from random house….and I have no idea what book I preordered.

Talisker or go the fuck home.

The kiosk downstairs has diet Dr Pepper. All is good.

My diagnostic one, that I also called about and was told was covered at 100% and still got a bill for that too!! Density is so common and being billed extra is like being billed extra cause you’re tall. It’s bullshit.

Yep. I just got a bill for mammograms that I called and confirmed had no cost associated bc they were preventative care.

My roof repair estimate came in under what I was thinking. They note in the quote that it’s a repair and carries no warranty because my roof was installed by asshats and shingles will continue to fall off randomly. (Not really, but that’s the gist)

It's International Coffee Day. A moment to put our caffeine-based differences aside and unite against our common enemy: soup.

I didn’t wake up until my alarm went off this morning!!

Of course you are! Your body has been fighting an infection.

Hey! That’s how we met! You got to see my super awkwardness.

A friend of mine is a teacher and she lifeguards all summer. IIRC it was what enabled her to finally purchase a house.

Those are some nice capsid proteins.

A Siamese cat in loaf position with eyes closed in the sun.

Cicely loafing in the sun.

I mean prepped slightly too much last week, so I was conservative this week and made a vegan quiche for lunches. Made some pizza dough, bought some pierogi.

I was at a sing a long concert thing. We all sang we are the champions for Fleury.
