I remember using the burner of an electric stove like a car lighter...

Black, charred donut stuck firmly to a white plate. The plate has brown and black streaks and blobs

Grandfather says: Reheat your Krispy Kreme donut for 8 seconds in the microwave

Grandson hears: ...8 minutes...

Donut tolerates: less than 3 minutes.

Could we please start programming smoke alarms to start screaming low battery alerts around noon?
I don't belong on a step stool at any time of day, but 1:30 AM is particularly rude.

Bleat?

My nephew says posts on this platform should be called "bleats."
I have to say I like it better than anything else I've heard.

United Healthcare denies more than 30% of claims. That is a staggering number. All to make a bunch of executives wealthier than most Americans can imagine. Sickening and heartbreaking to read all the real life pain they have inflicted.

When the shopping list says"beer' it seems odd because your Poppa seldom drinks beer. But since seldom isn't never, you add some Blue Moon to the instacart.
When non-alcoholic beer arrives, you call to apologize. He is confused, because he didn't want "beer" at all.
He wanted "beets."

I was outside a clothing store waiting for my sister. A young girl (9 yo?) and her brother (7 yo?) snuck on the display platform and started posing like models. I took out my imaginary camera to take pictures, and their poses got even more ridiculous. Wonderful smile for the day!

I certainly agree. We've reached a tipping point in far too many areas to realistically expect a positive outcome.

I really wish I could disagree, it's maddening.

I agree, but this does somehow seem like a kind of tipping point.

Every single one of the days I've moved has been the worst day ever. Glad you're finished!

I have hated insurance companies with a perfect hatred for decades. I know they are heartless and evil. I'm still feeling broken reading all the individual stories that yesterday's shooting stirred up. It seems the system gets more broken every day.

...are you comfortable telling me where you live?
I've worked at many different companies over the years, and I've never seen the system like that in the Metro Atlanta area.

Oof! That's vile! I love hospice, and I want everyone who 1) is eligible and 2) *wants* hospice to have it. It's good enough not to have to trick anyone! I forgot to think about the differences from one region to another when I commented (way past my bedtime) last night. I'm in Atlanta...

I hate insurance companies and their CEOs with a fire and passion, and I'm truly, truly sorry and for whatever happened to make you say this (also pissed off on your behalf). Patients can change their mind about hospice at any time.

He is as beautiful as he is haughty, standoffish, and how-dare-you-touch-me.

Two word explanation: They lie.

I have opened the can of the vile-smelling ungodliness. It is unlikely that I would fail to put the contents in your bowl.

If you make six pies for your Thanksgiving dinner, please remember to send your guests home with leftovers.

So this is pretty cool: I think I’m the first national news correspondent to switch my chyron social handle from X to Bluesky. 💪🏽

Thanksgiving dinner looks different in every home. What is on your table every year that is unlikely to be on the "average" spread?
I still can't let go of the orange jello salad with pineapple and sherbet that Mother used to make... despite my sister calling it The Orange Monstrosity.

In our house, Thanksgiving is for everyone to get what they want. Hence 5 pies for 6 people.

I gave my sister a turkey with the most wonderful gobbling sound many years ago. It stopped working, and I've been trying to replace it. Purchased a lot of plush turkeys that missed the mark.

My coworker wasn't paying close attention and asked, "Is that your family?" I replied that even when he had a beard, my brother wasn't quite that hairy."
Much needed shared laugh!
