Science Nerd that swears a LOT w/degrees in biochem, nursing. Our home is a bit of a zoo, with the cats and dog. Mom of a grown adult & unsure how that happened. Raised in Northern WI, but now a proud Minnesotan who’s often too direct for the locals.

On this date in 1969, the children's TV series Sesame Street—which featured a cast of puppet characters that included Elmo, Big Bird, and the Cookie Monster—debuted on the National Educational Television network (later PBS).

A meme depicting a woman staring at her phone with one hand on her head, with the following text below:

IS YOUR CHILD TEXTING ABOUT THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD?

brb = bell rang bro
rofl = rang out for lost (crew)
bff = big freakin' freigher
lol = Load of Ore on the Lake
smh = shift minutes to hours
glhf = Great Lakes hella freighter
tbh = taconite be haulin'
stfu = steer the freighter upwind
tfw = that freakin' witch (of November)
asl = a ship lost
gg = Gitche Gumee
idc = immoderate deadweight capacity
btw = beneath the waves
afk = a freighter kaput
hbd = hauler's beacon down
ily = iron load yonder
jk = just [24] kilometers
lmao = lost my abyssal ore
nbd = north bound draft
glhf = good lord, hold flooding
omg = obliteratingly massive gales
tmi = too much iron
wtf = White Fish (Bay)

I wish I could be as cozy as my Lizzy girl, all curled up on my side of the bed.

Holy shit. Our daughter, @sillysalads.bsky.social , just created an incredible Honeyed Earl Grey Cake. Just holy crap is it good. Sorry, no recipe to share, as she’s trying to write her own celiac-safe cookbook.

I love Wild Bird, but just know that they charge more, since they don’t move the volume of a big box store.

You can buy them at places like Menards or Farm and Fleet or Wild Birds Store, if you’re willing to part with more $.

You need a shepherd hook and base piece to stabilize it. There are ones that go into the ground and others that rely on a large weighted base. Make sure you get a squirrel baffle. If you have a deck, there are other options to attach it to that. But you will need a squirrel baffle.

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I’m making stuffed acorn squash with a brown rice, celery, onion, and apple stuffing. I will top it with some goat cheese crumbles. It’s an easy meal for me to whip up, when she can’t have what we are.

I’m not a diagnosed celiac like our daughter—just gluten sensitive. That gives me a bit more freedom.

I’m so excited for dinner tonight—getting my favorite type of takeout: Indian food. There will be lamb biryani, pakora, tandoori chicken tikka, raita, and some papadum to munch on tomorrow.

A lot of the nicer things that we got or fancy food items such as shrimp or oysters at Christmas were because my dad’s very good friend through those years was in the mob. There were a lot of things like electronics that kept falling off the back of a truck.

God missed the one about the Boombox, too. I never would have done that, as that always seemed rude—and I didn’t get one until my middle school years when my dad got one as a gift for me, as this one had “fallen off the back of a truck.”

Oh, missed another one: I never had a Walkman either for same reason. My parents were working class, and we struggled to make ends meet.

Oh wow 🤩. This morning for the second loaf that she had baked, she made some lemon icing to drizzle over the top.

The zest of 2 lemons really gives it a lovely color.

3 slices of lemon poppyseed bread on a blue and white patterned plate. The bread is made from almond flour, lavender honey, lemon zest and juice, eggs, poppyseeds, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract.

You should all be very jealous that my daughter baked us two loaves of lemon poppyseed bread. So delicious and amazingly gluten free.

Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep

This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."
