this is going to finally be the year when I remember to check the date for the Air & Water Show and get my self out of town!!

she's fine and the boa is fun

Addison Rae at Coachella

I just thnk it's funny that they pointed out that the million dollar bills, a denomination which does not exist, are "fake"

I think it's important to say at least once per day "the Holocaust was legal" even if you're just saying it to yourself

23 hours for work
23 hours for rest
23 hours for what we will

A head line about a 69 hour work day

Nice.

(sorry you're dealing with this, my housemate is as well and it's lousy)

oh I guess an application window and a lottery would be hard to work if each parent has ranking of preferences. you could do it, sort of like ranked-choice voting in reverse, but that's probably not within the capacity of the park district

Just you wait

I don't understand why they don't have something like an application week and then a lottery to select among applicants. Lots of other things work that way. Of course you and I agree that just expanding child care capacity would be best, but this race system is bizarre.

This seems likely! I would like to find a very old person and ask.

Remember that hero auto worker who yelled at him

Yeah I do order pickup these days

Realizing I've made a horrible mistake and my head is now covered in chorizo

I get very nervous around broken glass!

Okay so you have to put the stickers on the outside of the window is difficult here because of how high up we are. I do need to have the gutters cleaned so maybe the gutter cleaning guys would do it for $20 while they're here with their ladders that they are very brave about using.

What did shampoo come in before plastic bottles? A lot of plastic stuff has obvious workable substitutes but that one puzzles me.

There's catnip in the bathroom

[Looking at messenger collapsed dead at my feet] "this could've been an email"

See, now I feel stupid for giving her any money

"Francatelli was traveling with her employer, Lucy Duff Gordon, and Lucy’s husband Cosmo Duff Gordon. All 3 survived in the ship’s lifeboat #1, which was launched carrying 12 people despite having capacity for 40. Its failure to pick up survivors from the frigid water became a source of controversy"

I'm sorry, Dave. I was wrong when I said there were four r's in blueberry.

"after decades of trying to make a computer that can have a conversation with you, we have finally succeeded, but now the computer can't do basic math" sounds like a science fiction short story
