My former MIL held a grudge for YEARS because I made a pie the year she hosted Thanksgiving. Apparently I wasn’t supposed to contribute in any way whatsoever and she never forgave me!

There was a mashed potato bar at the wedding I went to last night and now I'm wondering whether my wife and I should have a wedding -- it's been 7 years, but it's never too late, right????

I hear suspenders can help with that problem

Yay!! Glad you enjoyed it.

Me: our power surged and half our outlets don't work, along with two light switches and the dishwasher. also the porch light

Electrician who installed the whole-house surge protector over the summer: did you change the lightbulb in the porch light?

Me: EVER HEARD OF OCCAM'S RAZOR, GORDON

Don’t watch Shetland because at first it’s just a quiet little detective show and then one day you’ll wake to find yourself wearing an oatmeal-coloured cable knit jumper and staring off into the middle distance

Damn even the graffiti in Lancaster is wholesome

A screenshot of the new ASHA standards. "Cultural competency and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)" has been crossed out and replaced with "service provision that aligns with the unique histories, values, and circumstances of individuals, families, and/or communities. "Culturally/linguistically diverse" was crossed out and replaced with "various cultural and linguistic backgrounds"

Not surprised but still disappointed that ASHA changed their Certification Standards to remove references to diversity and inclusion

Thanks!!!

Got to give a guest lecture in @reilly-coglab.com's neurocognitive disorders class on the role of the SLP in end-of-life care and I'm so pleased with how it went! This group of MA students is so engaged and thoughtful! Teaching is so much easier when it's not fractions to 12-year-olds!

Farfalle is awful because it cooks unevenly. If the distal part of the bow is al dente, the middle is crunchy, and if the middle is al dente, the distal part is too limp.

Ooh it looks so good!

Parsimony sounds like it would be delicious sprinkled over a nice roast chicken

Today in New Building Antics, the bathrooms have flooded!

Noooo who will show her the bookbot?
