Asking from the depths of the recliner that's 3 ft from the fan: Is "if you're not sweating you're dehydrated" a real thing? (Not to worry -- I've got more than #4hydrationstations in the house)

Well, based on the way The Mister’s phone has been blowing up, I can tell you that this is pretty much the top story in Egypt today. At least until the game starts…

This is why it pays to rewatch #ThePitt . Langdon is not my favorite but he does learn. Early in Season 1 King taught him how to deal w/a patient on the spectrum; in S2E2 when she is knocked down by a patient & won't rest, he not only forces her to but uses the same techniques she taught him.

There's a new (?) commercial out w/Boomer Esiason selling insurance and he looks, sounds, and is dressed just like the guy in the other insurance commercial about people becoming their parents. And I looked it up because I thought they were the same person and now you also know they're not

Christmas movie rec #2 of '25. The Snow Sister. well, maybe not so much Christmas-themed as Christmas as setting for dealing w/grief and love. Main character is a pre-teen boy whose sister died 6 months previously; he meets a girl who helps him recover while facing her own problems UK rating PG

Christmas movie rec #1 for '25: Santa & Cie/Christmas & Co. French fantasy of Santa dealing w/realities of human life when he has to find 92,000 doses of vitamin C for the elves. Well cast (even the kids are bearable), great effects, beautifully imagined Santa's world. & Audrey Tatou as Mrs C.

Dear @padems.org : candidate info (or at least a reasonable amount) is fine. But the recent, gray-scale, large print "Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote IS PUBLIC RECORD" -- calling it a voter report card, felt kind of threatening. expected that kind of thing from the GOP
