My husband's friend who we came to Liverpool for the day to visit brought me a big pack of Crunchies 🥹🥹🥹

All I got out of mine was Mormon scotch and soda 😢 (sprite with lemon and vanilla)

If that man doesn't spend the rest of his life in prison, our country is truly cooked

I lost track of how many grandkids there are on one side of the family (I think around 55?) but my grandmother made zero effort to have a relationship with me and on some occasions forgot I even existed so like...what is the point? Bragging rights?

"Looks cute. Wish I could get it."

The packaging is a huge part of the problem! I wouldn't object to a quiet brownie or something. I'm old enough to remember the pre-show announcement that was like "if you need a cough drop, unwrap it now"

We've been here all week and my family has caught the vision of effective public transportation

People say you can’t really tell who’s smart from Celebrity Jeopardy but I think you can definitely tell who’s dumb

Currently I have 21 in my possession (13 Crunchies, 4 Double Deckers, 4 Mars), expecting to bring 20 home. But in my defense the multipack ones are like...20% smaller than usual

I've seen musicals in Tempe and London this year and in both locations other people's food and drink interfered with my enjoyment, every single show.

Maybe it's a boomer opinion, but we do not need food or drinks during live theater. I don't want to hear people chewing over the actors! If I can go two hours without a lil snackie, we all can.

A level of dedication I aspire to

A grocery store croissant and bottle of British Dr Pepper.

But doctors are a girl's best friend

(it tasted mostly the same, just a bit different from the lack of high fructose corn syrup (I prefer the HFCS))

I was like "did someone film me and post me without me knowing??"

But I'm not even on the tok!

The cute youths next to me at lunch thinks I look like someone on tiktok who I guess reviews food?

There's an American working the register of this gluten free cafe and some British guy was extolling the virtues of Trump to her and we all kind of froze. After he walked out my husband subtly shook his head and she was like "he's my boss, I just keep my mouth shut"

What is the sane number of candy bars to bring back from vacation? Because I'm going to buy that plus two

It's like half of the cities where I'm from, but Prescott is probably the most distinguishing

Gave the nice man next to us three out of four railroad properties for McDonald's Monopoly. I hope he finds the fourth one and gets that £200 train voucher

The steps of St Paul's.

There actually aren't that many around. But it's across from a McDonald's and people eat on the steps, so I suspect there is some rogue fry snatching

Me, in front of St Paul's cathedral in a read shweater in 2004. Whoever took the picture cut off the top of the building.

Me, recreating the photo 21 years later, this time in a gray shweater. The person who took the photo isn't as close to me but it's in the same spot, and it has the top of the cathedral this time.

There was literally one thing I insisted we do while in London.

Once they were having work happy hour and my grand boss asked where I was and my coworker explained I had to pick up my kids from daycare, but also I was Mormon anyway and reportedly he said "She's Mormon?! But she's so sarcastic!"

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Multitudes!

Florence Nightingale was a pioneer of...data viz?

I don't imagine anyone wants to track me down, but it's just good practice

You can't tell people where you are! That's bad opsec
