We don't consider the things women are better at to be "physical prowess" and build a sport around them. Self supported long distance cycling, for instance, women are competitive.

Streamboat Willie.

The best advice I got (that helped) was to have or make scrapbooks or photo albums, especially for the era they might fixate on. You can't make them live in Now, but allowing a familiar Then to have a concrete window helped sometimes.

Also have a retreat, you'll need it.

I'm not sure they understand what housing looked like then, either. The house I grew up in was a 3 bedroom 700 square foot stairless ranch tract house. My grandparents lived around the corner in a smaller one!

I'd be hard pressed to find an apartment that small now.

Dry herbs and spices work better and use whichever flavors you'd use if it were meat/fish for the dish.

I also sometimes press it dry, rough chop as small as possible and fry in a small amount of bacon fat for salad topping. 2/2

Tofu soaks up flavors pretty well in a marinade. I press the moisture out, cube it up, and put it in a bag of marinade with as much of the air removed as possible. 30-60 minutes and squish it around a few times.

Then just pan sear or air fry. Generic formula is oil + acid + seasoning. 1/2

I remember $4/gallon because that was when I started getting a lot of questions about how exactly I managed with a bike instead of a car. Requests for practical advice rather than disbelief for a change.

This time around it's the slow burn of global gas prices that I'm watching, though.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get through tomorrow. Huge problem that I'm completely incapable of remembering how tiny my living spaces actually are.

It's like I think I can forget myself out of the laws of physics when it comes to floor space.

We should not do anything Jodey Arrington sponsors, on general principle. And H.R. 3289 — Fiscal Commission Act is a terrible idea that essentially creates a One Neat Trick to slash social security without any political consequences.

A lot of it is made into recycled cotton insulation, which is fabulous stuff.

Beer cheese soup is not weird, it's a state treasure.

I have a logistics joke but I can't quite get it there.

Even though their team was initially playing really well, the Arsenal beat em in the end. Now the misery is compounded by sharing public transportation with the Gunners fans.

(I am not a soccer fan but oh boy was a former coworker an arsenal supporter.)

As a lifelong gear nerd I have so many panniers and bike trailers in my history. Our current trailer is a Burley Travoy and it's a workhorse.

We spend winter in AZ without a car, our e-bikes are main transportation. The second gas prices go up we get a lot of questions about them.

I don't have to, I ride bikes. Increases my attraction radius exponentially.

So when we migrated south this winter we listened to Conflicted podcast's 6 part series about the Partition of India. I'd read a lot about it but it was all new information for my husband.

It did keep him focused while driving!

If you're in an area that was or is being redistricted make sure you are checking this information well ahead of time. Help your friends and neighbors get the correct answer in time!

Making sure our vote counts is important. I'll be trying to make sure no one scrambles for answers last minute. 2/2

Well I've seen enough. This primary has shown me I'll be calling my dem party to remind them that voter registration and polling place information is key.

Post cards, social media reminders, and hotline info or whatever else it takes we need to make sure voters get the answers early. 1/

Someone is sent to stand as the end of line at close of polls. The only time voting was possibly extended by me (power outage) they placed a second person at the extension and held the ballots between until officials got a final say if they'd count.

Are those curtain walls?!?!

It's sure been a day.

My grandchildren have been in station/base daycare as well.

Sometimes In April was pretty rough. Though Dancer In The Dark also drove me to give up Lars von Trier altogether.

I've had good luck with a homemade febreeze recipe, 1-1-1 parts vinegar, alcohol and water. Spritz lightly and let dry, especially upholstery and window treatments that really absorb odors.

Without the water it evaporates too quickly, in my experience.

I dyed my hair blue for a while to get a break from terrible people comfortable showing me who they really are.

I am perfectly willing to make a scene and working mostly in warehouses, and looking One of Them, I've had a lot of opportunities to over the years.

That's when we drink with hats on.

6 is just the winner with a 4 state handicap.

You countered your ignorance of pharmacology with misinformation about tax lobby timelines and call ME a troll? lol

Mentally ill? 🙃 A century later penicillin is still effective and its derivatives are the most prescribed on earth but you want to talk about taxes so you don't feel so bad about being totally wrong about infectious disease treatments?

Good idea. Free File went live in 2003, thanks Obama.

Tomorrow I will be trying to find a replacement Disney blankie and soothing words for my child about how indifferent our world can be.

The Lutheran church a few doors down and Catholic nursing home next to the apartment building were not interested in the crisis at all. Make of that what you will.
