CJ is very sad ⚾⚕️😷

In all seriousness, I wonder if it is more for easy temperature regulation. (for your cat!)

I remember (with unrelenting cringe even after all these years) my Grade 10 English teacher (female, thank God) mentioning to us 'girls' that we needed to really look after 'ventilation' down there. Perhaps your puddytat also had the same teacher.

Belated happy international women’s day!

"...to fuel our friends and power paycheques" because those are phrases that normal everyday people use regularly.

Started the Canada game laaaate and stuck with it to the end even though, in my gut, I knew the outcome. As a result I went to bed about 3 AM, embarrassed & angry. And, just like that, I appear to have lost interest in watching what I've been looking fwd to for 4 months. 😔 The WS damage is real.

Back on their bullshit, I presume?

!lol

😔😭

Contrary to the headline here*, it appears there will actually be more than "just one". 🤞

*excellent job on the (unintentional?) clickbait, Tod.

Hopefully after he breathes again he'll realize the easiest fix to that is to hand her the cash and present it as an upgrade. Same as why cash is such a better gift than a store-constrained gift card.

The fart?

You're giving a presentation to the UN General Assembly?!!

The fans watching the Great Britain vs Italy WBC game at Daikin Park being forced to listen to "Deep in the Heart of Texas" in the 7th inning is kinda sending me.

Nah. Gonna need you USians to admit from whence you come. As a Canadian, I'm no longer willing to lend you an identity we are doing our damndest to defend and keep. It ain't perfect but y'all made your bed and are going to have to lie in it. Lying ABOUT it is not how you start fixing it.

There's a Toronto accent?! Do you know of someone (famous enough) with this that I could find a recording of?

Happy International Women's Day.

It will never cease to amaze me how much Yonder Alonzo sounds like Alek Manoah. Is there such a thing as a Miami accent?

Heh. Look at that. The clock on my stove is right again. That's a shame. I used to get regular joy from the relief that followed the panic when I forgot I hadn't changed it.

Catching up on the overnight WBC. Two thoughts:

- Hate seeing Kikuchi struggle. Gives me 'poor baby' feels.

- Japanese baseball spectating is not for migraine sufferers...or early mornings.

- Bonus thought: A real joy to see some people in the crowd still acknowledging this ongoing pandemic. 😷

...get out there. "Only old people with med issues are affected by C19." They both got C19 after Dad unmasked for an ID photo at Costco. ⬇️⬇️ since then. My fault. I can't win. Now they're sad, lonely and cognitively impaired anyway. The responsibility for all of this is very heavy.

Heartbreakingly timely. Severely IC Mom's (maskless) FamDoc did a MoCA with (expected) terrible results today. In the post-appt convo, Dad blamed the cog decline on their isolation (which is my fault as I've been trying to keep them alive). Ex-geriatrician (!!!) told them to stop sheltering and...

I felt extremely scolded for doing that by a recent post (from someone who seemed an authority for people who need ALT the most). I was always including context and even explanations of jokes or whatever and this post really put me in my place. That ALT was not an acceptable place for anything extra

The world is so shit because it is literally being run by the worst people ever born.

It certainly does. Didn't notice the ALT as, this time, I didn't 'need' it (vision-wise). 🙄

Then there's those of us who just spent 8 minutes trying to FIND this dot that you're all talking about.
