Oo, outside on the patio so we can let the tufts fly free? 🌬️

I love Tepper and realizing that many of her books were part of a larger universe just made me want to read them more.

Why was I not surprised to hear this was in Barrington? As soon as I saw "Illinois air" I just knew... πŸ™„

Uhh.. I'm not the only one who thought the mini-me was a real dog, am I? πŸ‘€

(Mini-me is almost as adorable as the real thing though. Those ears look so soft!)

Homemade card with a 4 by 5 grid of hearts in red colored squares and one blue square. Happy Valentine's Day is written in blue along the bottom of the card.

Should probably post the finished card. ☺️

I studied through trigonometry in high school (I was an art major in college for a reason) and currently live in Excel for work. Most maths related anything I do now is figuring out how I've screwed up a formula.

It gave me a Maltese for September?!? What in the upside down world are they smoking? And a King Charles Spaniel for the husband with October?

Why the emphasis on little dogs? Samoyeds and Bernese the only big dogs there.

One seriously long thread about Star Trek that is so, so very worth reading. Seriously, read to the end because it's just that fantastic and touches are things that should be noticed more often.

What do you say to those who claim you’re not American?

I understand it’s confusing to encounter an American who can speak two different languages.

You obviously replied or shared something they knee-jerked to and insta-blocklisted. That's my guess.

They're wrong but pretty sure no loss.

Okay, but you gotta admit that list name is kinda amusing.

Welp, just told the husband about this (he loves Tate's and ordered online many times plus getting some in the regular grocery shopping) and he said "Guess I need to find a new cookie to get now."

Actions have consequences.

It's like these people don't realize Amazon exists (despite how much of an evil empire it is) and has same day delivery.

I mean, Bezos has hung around with Trump, where do they think he got all his money from?

Magats really can't understand the concept of a community and helping your neighbors. They've so bought into the idea of "lone wolf self-sufficient no one helped me out" that anything else is incomprehensible.

Considering how often the government fact checks anything, I'd say you have a good chance of success!

There are days when I sincerely regret opening social media and reading.

This is (not?) one of those days. πŸ€”
