OMG no! Never never marry your stalker!

The novel is more clear about this, ending with Erik (the Phantom)'s death from basically loneliness. It also shows that Christine rescues Raoul, not the other way around.

Anybody else think that the Phantom gives up way too easily at the end of the play? He's been stalking Christine and terrorizing the Opera for years, and suddenly he's all 'jk, nevermind, forget I was ever here.'

My son suggests a more realistic slogan: Bear Lake--it's fine

If Bear Lake is the Caribbean of the Rockies, Saltair is the Taj Mahal of Utah. But we still had fun cycling to Idaho from Garden City.

I married into a shrimp boil family, and that shit is fucking disgusting. It's like eating out of a dumpster and using the sauces.

This is why you go through the albums at an estate sale

I was hoping our cats would be lifelong besties but instead they are more like polite co-workers

We finally scraped off my MIL's last popcorn ceiling, so it's been nice knowing y'all

Just finished up our week at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. This year's favorites: A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Dear Jack, Dear Louise. Among the Shakespearean plays, they did a great Anthony and Cleopatra. #utahshakes

This is both shocking and unsurprising which is a pairing we see over and over with this administration

Whenever my hubbie buys pastries I always say "you have chosen the form of the destructor," and that's how you know we are Gen X

Yeah now that it's just The Pub, it's not a great hang

We have always said that they should cater to the post-play crowds a little more. Would theater-goers meet up for a coffee, dessert or drink? If there's a fun place with good food and vibes they would.

TBH, we haven't been impressed with any of the desserts in Cedar thus far.

Ganache'd in Cedar City. We are just soaking up the small town experience this week.

These TP dispensers remind me of the stripper in The Graduate

Neighboring WiFi at this Airbnb is LetsGoBrandon. So that's fun.

It was a 4.9 on Google reviews, but we always wonder "Is it a small town 5 or a real 5?" This one was real.

Brown Box Cafe in Kanab, UT was a good bet. Dressed up grilled cheese with tomato soup always hits. Plus their Kanookie dessert was worth the stop alone.

If your hotel checkout is at noon, but breakfast ends at 9:30, then your checkout isn't really at noon.

I think if we brought back the normalization of the parental neglect of the 80s and or the day drinking of the 70s, maybe more people would be having kids.

Roadside fry bread is one of the best guilty pleasures when in Navajo Nation. Nowah's did not disappoint!

Baby robins look like testicles with beaks

Things MAGA is OK with:
"grab em by the pussy"
18 accusations of sexual assault
"If she weren't my daughter, we'd be dating"
Being adjudicated a rapist

Not OK:
Not releasing the Epstein files, even tho we've all seen Trump & him in chummy photos

This isn't about protecting victims.

This is why I love texting my adult kids

The reason we don't have any really good treatments for menopause is because historically the treatment was being burned as a witch so your husband could marry a teenager

Biblical grounds? Whew, it was just adultery. I was afraid he ate shellfish.

Also Biblical Grounds sounds like a coffee shop in Austin Texas.

If you would like to turn your siblings into your clients, may I recommend becoming the executor of your parent's estate?

Me: Oh hey this salad was supposed to have cheese on it
Employee: The hacienda salad doesn't come with cheese but I can get you some if you like
Me: Thanks, yes I would like some, but your menu (pointing to menu) literally says it comes with cheese. It's listed as an ingredient

Madness

Priorities, amiright?
