wow, that's a throwback.

My parents house caught fire last night.

They’re all ok.

All their Christmas presents are gone though. Also ruins my sisters 18th birthday party in a couple days.

Hoping we can find them an Airbnb near my sisters school to get them through the holidays. Will be weird having Christmas in a strangers house.

I just had the same experience with trying to make my first pumpkin roll. The taste was there, the whole thing was delicious, but it just wasn't.. springy enough. Kinda dense. I'm not sure what I need to do to get a bouncier bake

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes for a to period piece to break into Netflix’s Top 10, it’s sex. Lots and lots of sex plus a nekkid man running through the rain with a flapping penis.

Lady Chatterly’s Lover was a censored book when it came out. While the scandalous tale might not be banned anymore, it’s still not a movie to watch with your parents.

Took my dog out for his morning walk and forgot my keys. Locked out of my apartment until the apartment offices open at nine 🤦‍♀️

Tried to get coffee using digital payment on my phone but my card wouldn't work. Thank you to the barista who comped my drink, it's the only thing I've got going for me this morning 😩

Hit us with them. On my long roadtrips I like to listen to Last Podcast on the Left (not everyone's cup of tea) and DND play podcasts (Dungeons & Daddies is my favorite, but they do play fast and loose with the rules of DND).

Lights out a little past Altria (can't remember the street name but it's Leigh Str & ____). Anyways, treat it like a four way stop and be careful.

I saw four cops between Ashland and Fredericksburg…

Look at you being all helpful and shit by contributing to the subreddit. You’re awesome. 🏆

Here let me help.

Thanks!

Working on adding stuff to The Weekend Event Thread! Lots of fun things going on this weekend, check it out!

☹️ I’ve got nothing but sympathy for you and Boaty. Our medical system is so broken.

Must write thank you notes today. As an adult thank you notes stress me. I am bad about writing them but LOVE getting them. I feel like I suck at it but really want it to be memorable and express my gratitude. So yup Adulting.

I have some good podcasts to recommend! Helps with the mind numbing drive/traffic

Health insurance is a scam. I've been fighting with ours all year. Our plan, which we get through my husband's work and we don't get to choose, explicitly does not cover childhood developmental delays. Which is exactly what we're dealing with for baby Boaty. It's been a nightmare with all of these claims for doctors appointments and tests being denied and us owing thousands of dollars.

Thank you for not outright saying short pump lol but no, I think it’s because I work in science/medicine so there’s apparently a significant bias in that group.

Personally I have always hated casinos, they weaponize one of the sweetest human emotions (hope) to efficiently extract money from people who are almost always not rich.

I made Not Quite The Worst Blueberry Muffins In The World this morning. The texture is good and I nailed the amount of sour cream to hit the level of tartness I wanted in the batter but I should have used wild blueberries for better flavor and maybe more baking powder for a better rise. They look sad and lifeless on the plate.

I also learned this morning that an artist whose work I’ve admired for years passed away in September so I’m feeling a little sad about that. I’ll probably pull out my small collection of her work this morning with a cup of tea and be nostalgic about her largely unknown influence on people like Lucas, Spielberg, and the many artists who followed her in the comics industry.

I'm a terminal chitchatter. I can't abide no daily!

Driving to Northern Virginia for a large work meeting. Not looking forward to the drive or the meeting. I keep reminding myself that I’m going to see my team (some of whom I’ve never met in person because they were hired during the pandemic) and that I can tolerate all of the large meeting nonsense and large group small talk for their sake.

Classic. Internet forever!!!

This is why I’ll Never be an Adult

Getting some stuff done before I go up to see my family in NY. The’ve got the extra time, so it seems reasonable to spend a few days up there.

Not often I get to work without a daily posted. Thanks for picking it up! I need to not forget to browse the marketplace for a new plan… and pay some bills tomorrow when I get paid. Adulting :’)
