I’ve already planned to be out of the country for the 4th this year. I want nothing to do with it

Yeah, but this weekend would be a good time to be in LA. It’s like being in San Francisco during Burning Man

I used to take my wiper blades off and turn them around and it would give me more uses. I also always wondered if they could be cut with a razor blade to make the edge a little better

All I can see is two Joe Camels

I just had my appointment yesterday and my tax person talked about people opting to pay what they owe by monthly installments rather than paying the full amount on April 15th.

This guy is two years old now, but is still called a puppy by strangers

I figured it had something to do with the hastily put together company that got the big contract, and that maybe Tr*mp didn’t get his cut

Wow, this is so on the nose. I say this as a former grad student, and former staff member of a private arts college, that endured a school president who spent like a drunken sailer and bought properties that turned out to be useless for what they were intended. The school is now closed.

I live in a county with 10k other people and let me tell you that the eccentricity level is VERY high. It’s WAY higher than the percentage that I lived with in a major city

I wish more reporters would say “Oh, come on” when they interview these liars

We could raise money by having a lottery for those of us who’d like to help rip this off and maybe also do a little patriotic demolition

I heard one last month and when I went out to see if I could see it, I could see the silhouette of two of them and they were at the very top of a pine tree, talking to each other

I sense that Bovino only lost support from Tr*mp because of all the short jokes

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Artists are driven to make art and they will find a way to make *something*. There are classes at every level and many overqualified teachers out there. I would ask around - I learned all of my technique at Com College and the rest at Adult Ed.

I waited a bit, because I’d heard that it was a flu-like reaction, especially with the second shot. I had absolutely no side effect with either. (Maybe the earlier version was more intense?)

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

I used to work at Tower Records and people used to hum tunes to me to identify. I was very good at it. We also had a book in the middle of the store that was always open and was about ten inches thick and had all of the songs in production. It’s wild to think that these changes happened so quickly

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Also, as someone who’s worked in retail, understand that we love the people who make the simple, easy order and keep that line moving.

That would be fine with me. I listen when I’m beekeeping, and I can’t watch anything or fiddle with my phone while I’m moving full frames of bees.

After Amazon bought WF, they stopped stocking the products that I regularly bought. Then they stopped carrying single serving portions, so that had to buy more than you needed. I haven’t been back since I quit WaPo.

We are electrified about the possible outcome

This looks great. My mom and I would have club sandwiches on toasted white bread at the local department store. I can’t remember the last time I had a club sandwich.

That’s a great 80s movie! I subjected my 22 yo daughter to suspense films from the 80s and 90s and one was Double Jeopardy (really, anything with Tommy Lee Jones or Gene Hackman), also The Net, with Sandra Bullock. (One of Carl Reiner’s favorite movies.)

That’s great to hear! Anywhere outside of Iowa City, Ames, or Fairfield is pretty red, so that’s very encouraging

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

What corner of Iowa? My in-laws live in the SE and I haven’t heard anything yet

It is my duty to finally post a cat & dog photo

They’re fantastic and break down to store. (Somewhat) I dried pears this year and they were so much sweeter than fresh. I’ve dried prune plums, apricots, and apples. I also use it for drying greens for my tortoise over the winter.

My daughter is 22 and I know all of these girl dad haunts. I have also stepped in to help edit when I’ve seen my overwhelmed husband with a full shopping cart and a blank expression. Good luck, Waj

It also gives some of us hope, which is so important right now.

It’s stressful enough being pregnant without even more doubts about “doing the right thing”. Ugh

I thought it was Tuesday

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

This might be the best yet

I’m a visual person and I love still image and good illustration

Ooh, I hadn’t heard of this book, thanks!

The noses are a really bad idea too. Just polished all of the personality out of the drawings. It’s like an overworked painting

I’m team top down, (I’ve been knitting socks since the 80s), but I’ll do toe up if I like the pattern…

Do you like your socks top down or toe up?

The cursive is a nice touch

Yes, you get to know what’s going on in your rural area, but you also have to see what your neighbors assume is universally popular. I check in about every two weeks and then get the hell out. I have checked more frequently when it’s fire season

Blelph @bleph.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Beautiful headstone too

I have a Chihuahua/MinPin/Rat Terrier combo dog and the dog trainers were so enthusiastic when we showed up to puppy classes.

No, I turned 69 this year and I’m saying it every time I fill out a form with my age on it.
