True. There's that.

But, where would I store it until I needed it?

(The number of words in that question that my phone tried to auto-cucumber into "died", "death", or "dying" is rather disconcerting.)

I think I'm going to need prescription shower goggles for when I (try to) shave my legs in the shower. I thought I did a good job, but the missed patches weren't revealed until after I got out and put my glasses on.

Sigh

I always thought I should try to like coffee because you can get a bottomless cup of coffee at the local breakfast joint, but they charge you for every cup of tea. Unless you want to do a second steep, and maybe they'll bring a free fresh cup of coffee-flavored lukewarm water, but that's just vile.

Might I suggest the Keats & Co tea? They are ALL fabulous!! I can NOT bring myself to consume coffee (not even a a flavoring nor in mocha anything). Tea drinker for life, and now I'm absolutely spoiled by this tea.

#AltText

A tan crocheted triangular "crust" sits atop a gray quilted surface. Red yarn "sauce" spells out the name "John" at the top (wide end) in cursive, then spills over the rest of the slice in a curly tangle.

Pizza John, but don't lift your "pencil".
#NerdfArters

Crocheted slice of pizza with red "sauce" and tan "crust", approximately 6 to 7 inches from side-to-side and from tip-to-crust, made of 100% wool. The crust edge is at the top of the photo with the point of the slice aimed down. A small yellow tape measure runs from the middle of the crust edge to the tip of the slice, showing that it is about 7 inches long. There will be a felted face applique (also 100% wool) of my impression of the famous Pizza John, representing the cheese. It will come with additional yarn for hanging. Suitable for use as a coaster or small hot pad, as well. ( Note, I know I didn't add the face yet, but I'll show that later. I'm just kinda excited! I have just started the prototype, so the attached photo doesn't yet have the face. Face will be oriented with the top of the head near the crust border.)

Just submitted my first P4A Nerdfighter Art application!

It's basically a crochet and felt Pizza John! (Note: I have just started the prototype, so the attached photo doesn't yet have the face. Face will be oriented with the top of the head near the crust border.)

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects

So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?

And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

I have the same problem with yarn. (And assorted other craft stuff)

So... they're making babies do some kind of a prolonged and/or repeated vaccine keg stand? Too much liquid, right?

Screenshot of Focus Friend app, with a contented kidney bean named Beanelope Zoodlbak relaxing and saying, "cool beans," on a purple-chechered couch in her new living room. Multiple plus signs indicate where she can choose to add additional furniture. There are "ghost images" associated with each plus sign, indicating what types of furniture or decorations might be put there.

I just discovered that I have a whole new room for Beanelope Zoodlbak to decorate! Woohoo! Time to knit more socks and scarves!!

Pretty please, @gastronauts.bsky.social ?? I will pay good money for a cookbook from every season, even if there are 15 seasons (and therefore 15 individuals cookbooks) or more!

Do they all need to currently fit me appropriately? Because I *own* many, but they are a rainbow of sizes. As my body shape fluctuates, I can't bear to part with sweaters that might not fit me now, but probably will again someday. Especially the ones I've made myself.

Still, might also be the wurst timeline

What's that rat teacher from Arthur? Is it Mr. Rathburn?

Does the Pokémon Rattata count?

There were several from The Secret of NIMH, but I can't recall names at the moment.

Oh! Templeton, of Charlotte's Web!

It's only the shit as runs downhill

"Nothing tastes as good as thin feels," except feeling thankful that being fat means I can still get my Covid vax.

Take your pick, Bobby. I can be thin, miserable, and prematurely dead of Covid, or fat, happy, and Covid-vaxed, dying well-fed with chocolate frosting on my lips at my predestined hour

Just add a belt: sweater dress!

Oh...ummm...ahhhh....<wince>

In fairness, it might be that there are certain rules and/or guidelines regarding the number of refills allowed for the specific medication, and thus, the doc's hands are tied. I'm sure they don't want to work any extra if they don't have to.

And socks are usually worked on finer yarn than scarves, although not always. But I wouldn't say that socks are more difficult, rather that even basic socks are just more fiddly than basic scarves. Also, I want Beanelope Zoodlbak to be able to wear her creations! Haha!
