Winter survival strategy #1: consider each day that passes is one less day of a Trump presidency.

Look, if you’ve already showered you smell clean enough. Don’t torture us all with 5 sprays of cologne. No one’s impressed.

Dear Amazon,
I’m not buying your product if you have spelling errors in the product description.

More People Are in Immigration Detention Than Ever Before Vera’s research reveals what ICE is not sharing with the public and the vast scale and human cost of Trump’s immigration agenda.

Thank you for your work, but this estimate of 170 seems absurdly low. How about 59,000? www.vera.org/news/more-pe....

Dear long term friends, you are only granted one name change per lifetime. My brain cannot switch identity twice. Sorry.

Yes, this once I violated my "no reading school emails on weekends" policy because I knew this one would be entertaining.

A sampling of websites teen son has visited or searched that the school tracking app thinks I want to know:
"nutsimulator"
"mayonaise 2011 remastered"

Also re: casino, not worried. The kid has no money.

Sounds like we are related.

I’ve never been so excited to have a mood disorder.

Can’t wait to get to this episode.

And why young men are not getting women.

Or no need for an agreement here as we will be crossing the street to avoid you.

I get the makeup, wrinkle, and weight loss ads, designed to make women feel bad they aren't the buxom ladies in aforementioned man's IG feed.

Hubs gets buxom bikini clad women in his IG feed. I do not get shirtless fit men in mine. What am I doing wrong?

2nd day of school. Number of emails from school: 9

16 yr old informed me jeans only need to be washed once every 3 weeks.

Wow. Yale, was it?

Our recycling truck guy broke our recycling bin lid off then recycled the bin lid by dumping it into his truck.

How can I meditate when I can’t even listen to an audiobook without falling asleep unless I’m also doing something else?
