And a hairnet?!

3? I’m dog tired after not sleeping well and having a really intense workout. But I’m also elated because my new GYN has prescribed me HRT! I can’t wait to get started. But first, I need a nap.

Breathtaking

Not even any fine lines? Hard to believe.

I mean, any vigorous activity directly after eating can cause a stomachache. I don’t know why swimming was the sole focus but a general caution to digest a bit before activity isn’t bad advice.

Holy shit, Peter David wrote some of my favorite Star Trek novelizations. In 1997, I moved to a new area just before my junior year of high school. My new school was massive and I was an introvert who wasn’t great at making friends. But somehow I ended up hanging out with a few fellow Star Trek fans, who introduced me to his new series, Star Trek: New Frontier (thank you Regina!). It got me through the rest of high school!

I’m sorry to hear what happened to him. :(

Hey don’t misunderestimate them!

Right on! I think it’s awesome when someone confidently knows themself.

They say thank you ;)

I’m 43 and I had to retire my favorite stuffed animal because his arm was getting threadbare and I was afraid it would fall off, so now he sits on my makeup desk. His name is Rufus and he was Avon’s Christmas 1982 Plush Puppy.

My current stuffed animal is a lion cub I bought in the mid-2000s to take with me on my study abroad in Paris. His name is Ruffles (like the potato chip).

Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.

This belongs on a t-shirt in Spencer’s.

The source material isn’t great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I’d never want to read them again.

I’ve watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they’re doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.

He was from Cuba, his father was in Cuba, his uncle was in the USA and wanted to keep him here. He needed to be returned to his father but it should’ve been via negotiation. The raid was not the way to go. IIRC Janet Reno just got impatient with diplomacy?

Straight to jail.

Spike from Buffy was my crack cocaine for a while there

Girl, yes!!

Those cats were fast as lightning

Kids also learn from unfettered access to the internet, which it sounds like was a big factor in this case.

Oh I like twisty ties! Because I just wrap it once around the bag, then I get to spin the bread like a nunchuck to twist it all up
