That's what I thought at first but now that I have an Apple Watch when I get a notification I can just tilt my wrist to determine whether or not I need to get my phone out of my pocket. So it actually has been a huge help in not looking at my phone as much.

Not everyone is a great conversationalist, ok???

Why wouldn't you do that on purpose?

I once had a Gen Z student send me a pdf by printing a hard copy, taking Live pictures with his phone, then texting me the pictures.

"Young people are good at tech" was true when Gen X and Millennials were young. We're no longer young...

In the 90s my elementary school teachers taught us about the first woman to do this and the first black person to do that. I'm sure plenty of them were republicans. It was back in the day when everyone agreed racism was bad. We've made strides in some ways but slid back in so many more.

I wave the flag of institutions of which I'm proud. Do you think any sane people are proud of the US government right now?

I would just love to see some politicians acting like adults of any gender who want their country to be better instead of enriching themselves.

I literally LOL'ed at this week's, so hard that it would have woken up my husband if he were a normal person instead of a person whose body cooperates with instructions sent from his brain to sleep.

I think this must have happened a couple days ago just before the whopping tariff on Chinese stuff started

I showed it to some students once and they said "That looks like Quiznos bought lunch for a kindergarten class and the students made that video as a thank you."

I read something about the franchises being handled in a much less efficient way than is typical and it screwed the operators.
That rosemary bread... dang.

I came here to say that! SO much better than Subway.
They also had terrible commercials. I showed them to some students once and they said "That looks like Quiznos donated lunch to a kindergarten class so the students made a video to thank them."

I wish an American politician could inspire Americans to cooperate with each other the way they've inspired Canadians 🤦‍♀️

Shelves containing shadow boxes containing urns labeled with the names of cats along with clay paw prints and photos of the cats.

We moved recently and our new place doesn't have a mantle. We used to keep all our memorabilia from our kitties who crossed the rainbow bridge on the mantle. Finally got this small China cabinet assembled and put all of their urns and cremation art and collars and clay paw prints together.

Thing is we don't get much time off from our jobs and our healthcare derives from our jobs.

I dunno. If everyone around you thinks you're a giant jerk, might be worth asking yourself some questions.

Cheers! See you in NC in June :-)

Beautiful! My grandmother was a watercolor artist. Really takes a special mindset.

Fluffy black cat getting head scratches from a woman lying on a couch.

This cat crawled up on my chest and now I'm trapped. Definitely enjoying.

I checked the math on that and you are correct

Congrats! Link to one of the articles?

I was indeed wondering... hoarder or just inexplicably liked antique ice picks? (Is there any other kind of ice pick?)

Disheveled fluffy black cat lying on a rug in a sunny spot

Have a cat picture

Awww they match mine!

Tabby cat and black cat sitting on a purple and teal blanket on a headboard peering down at their humans.

I didn't make them, but my cats are pretty adorable.

Let me guess... based wholly or in part on federally funded medical research.

Window with insert that is a flap so cats can go onto the porch

Closet with a hole cut out at the bottom and cat face shape for litter box entrance.

We just moved and are preparing our home to be the ultimate cat mansion. Cat door window for once the porch is screened in and litter box closet entrance.

As a childless cat lady I would love to have a niece or nephew!!! Congrats!!!

Ugh truth

Exactly why I don't try to exercise restraint at the grocery store
