Lol I don't think I made it more that five, I was too busy laughing at the awful dialogue. Just so, so bad.

Here!

As a kid I saw park benches and public useful things with signs "paid for by state lotto dollars" so I figured it goes to a good cause (at least in some places).

Sending love and thank you for being a spark of light even when it's so hard to do that.

ALL THE PIE. I refuse to pick one. On Turkey day I get a slice of each one.

Since it’s coming up on tax season:

Remember that TurboTax lobbies with significant dollars to keep the system so complex so you’ll feel the need to use them.

There are free alternatives that work just as well.

If you haven’t yet, this is the year to finally ditch TurboTax.

Twister!

Plate with a pile of fresh homemade bagels with various seeds as toppings

Snow day. I made bagels!

There are some very powerful scenes coming up. It is well worth sticking with the whole season.

Several of my local used bookstores carry puzzles too, for another spot to look (and an excuse to visit used bookstores).

Made "clear out freezer space" chili, which included frozen shredded zucchini, diced bell peppers, and summer tomatoes, plus canned beans, pickled jalapeños, and fresh carrots. Four cans of beans stretch pretty far with all the veggies!

So, what non-Chrome internet browsers does everybody like these days?
