Omg that looks amazing!

Happy birthday!

Do tell us more about this short rib pot pie 🤤

As if these poor kids hadn’t endured enough, several were placed with these fucking foster parents who also abused them, including lewd acts on a child, false imprisonment, and child cruelty.

While you’re in there, may as well do a little Putin.

I drove past a field the other day that had one of these set up for 2 miniature goats. It was friggin adorable.

The cat got up in the window after this. Deer were unfazed. This pair is a set of twins from this past spring. They and their mama have been hanging about all summer. I’ve been lucky enough to watch them grow from adorable spotted fawns to teenagers.

Saw right through this joke 👻

We just finished An American Werewolf in London tonight. I haven’t watched it in probably 30+ years. Hubby had never seen it. It held up as entertaining!

Ooh, thank you. I’ve been wonderering what category of audiobooks to delve into next. King books should keep me busy!

This is uplifting. I’m glad such a program exists.

But I have to admit that I first wondered what drag racing (NHRA) had to do with getting folks to food. Maybe they are wanting to get them there really quickly, but only if it’s a quarter mile away?

I know it’s the NRHA, I was just momentarily amused by my misread.

If only they were still this easy to spot

I’m in the US but I bought a TomTom in 2008 instead of Garmin because at the time, their maps of Europe were better and we were still traveling there a lot.

One of my favorite memories was the time TomTom had us drive through someone’s sheep pasture in Scotland. The day before we had driven a paved road that went through pastures, and online comments mentioned that the road was indeed open to the public and you had to get out, open the gate, drive through, then close the gate.

So when it said to do it again, I trusted it. But the road was not paved. It was rutted and muddy. We were in a sedan, not anything with adequate ground clearance. And we totally got stuck in the mud. It was very likely not a public road. I’m so glad the farmer who owned it didn’t come out to yell at us. I rocked the car enough to get us unstuck. We came out the other side of the field, back onto pavement, and I didn’t let TomTom try to send us offroading again!

This TomTom also struggled with extreme northern latitudes. Wherever we went in Alaksa, it assumed we were about 100 yards off to the side of the road, sometimes out in the middle of Turnagain Arm 🤣, and constantly fussed at us to navigate back to the marked path.

Paper maps are still available and free in (most?) welcome centers along US interstate highways. My mom had me stop and get her new maps every year whenever I went somewhere. She passed 5 years ago, and I still have the urge to pick up a map when I’m roadtripping.

Some folks prefer slightly green bananas. Either way, I’ve converted to opening from the bottom, and find it generally less messy.

Guys, I think it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room.

I thought it was taken out so we could fit the giraffe in there.

Before I developed the habit of temporarily holding my needle in my mouth, I used to stick it in the arm rest of the sofa. I also used to forget about it there, and stab myself. Maybe we need to look into magnets on watchband like things.

I finally got that thing off my plate that has been causing me grief for months.

And here I sit with a laser pointer in my lap. Crazy cat lady by day, cyberpunk by night.
