lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 13hUnfortunately, I was not drunk, just had heartburn. Had a glass of Galeffi (Italian alka seltzer) and that cured the heartburn so now I just have a headache. Meh 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 15hWe went out for dinner and I had two Negronis and that may have been a mistake. A delicious, bitter mistake. 110
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 16hWe grow lemons and they make an amazing lemon drizzle. We also grow limes and this year’s addition was an orange tree, which means, hilariously, that we now have an orchard. 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 16hI’m in Texas and it was 93 today but it was 66 this morning, so there was much rejoicing! (a couple of weeks ago it was in the 100s during the day and the 80s at night, so I may need a sweater) 020
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 21hHaving lived in a chaos house (lowercase), hearing about your Chaos House (uppercase) is unleashing waves of either nostalgia or PTSD. 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 23hI feel for you. The electrical panel at our previous house should have never passed inspection when we bought it. Current house is slightly less chaotic in terms of wanting to kill us but it does have a remarkable lack of insulation behind the exterior walls in the bathroom. 020
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 03/10/2026WEENS! A friend of mine collects them. (4 is definitely a collection.) 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Great piece! We grow tabasco peppers and make our own hot sauce. We don’t ferment it so it isn’t shelf stable but it is fridge safe for a year. By that time, there is a new crop and we start over. 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Manopause? (I have had frozen shoulder twice and it sucks, so my sympathies.) 040
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If it helps, my uncle had terrible type 1 and lived to be 86. And they didn’t even have the modern meds and meters when he developed diabetes. 020
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 28/09/2026*eyeballs the leftover garlic naan that my husband made last night* 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The current weirdness in my family is that everything is chicken so AI can have fun figuring out what toothpaste chicken is and how that differentiates from chicken toothpaste (which is chicken-flavored dog toothpaste). 011
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I live in Texas and am admittedly more of a Waylon and Willie and Charley Pride country music listener, but it’s pretty ubiquitous in stores and restaurants etc. i have never heard this song. I googled it and it’s fine but the whole thing seems like a psy-op. 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I worked for an engineering company as a liberal arts major and am reminded of this poster: 28915
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Agreed, but that is a whole ‘nother issue. Ultimately, interviews are rarely the place where you start making culture stands. We are interviewing them as well and I remember interviews where I knew it would be a bad fit for me because I didn’t like the culture. 110
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There is a certain faction that thinks Everything Is About Them. The whole thing has completely gone off the rails. 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The original post was specifically talking about Fortune 500 companies and not making a blanket observation about other job interviews. As usual, the discourse decided that Fortune 500 means everywhere. And honestly, if you are applying at Fortune 500s, law firms, etc. that’s the office culture. 140
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I know I have no business rubbernecking this particular drama, but the clown college part was wild. I feel bad for the last owner. (Also, in college a guy I knew decided to quit college and go to clown school.) 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Lovely!!!! I am fortunate that my husband is also yapper (at least with me) and nerds out on completely different topics so we always have something to talk about. 020
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The one of worst part ls about being in library science has always been “why is it sticky” when you handle materials. 140
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’ve never seen $4 even after a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico! This is bonkers. 010
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 15/09/2026He’s going to have to improve on his “everybody is so mean of me” statements. 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I was pregnant and the company I worked for shit down two weeks after because the VC dried up. It’s still very strange. 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 09/09/2026He has to be part cat. At least he has the void part and being nosy down pat. 121
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh absolutely the hell not. “One of our 50 is missing” gone way out. 0100
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The wipes aren’t environmentally friendly, but they are toddler friendly in a way rags aren’t. She was also in charge of “folding” all washrags and dish towels and I would put them away exactly how she folded them and not worry about it. She had a blast. 040
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 05/09/2026When my daughter was small, we had a dog that liked to look out the window so every window was covered in nose smears dog height and below. I would give my daughter half of a windex wipe and she would clean the windows. She loves it, it made her feel important, and she did a pretty good job. 150
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Congrats on the gym. A friend of mine won Labor Day by going into Labor! 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Block early; block often. I don’t need the bad vibes some people bring to the table. 060
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 01/09/2026That’s what I found in one of the church cookbooks she gave me. That one also has some “italian seasoning” in it. And uses a pressure cooker, which ain’t happening in my house! 020
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I complimented my MIL on her beef noodles and not only did she refuse to give me the recipe, she’s never made it for me again. But I have a stack of Iowa cookbooks so I am going to go dig for it. 1140
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 31/08/2026You know you are doing well if other people immediately know the subject! 110
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I hate this administration but I also hate that damn start/stop thing because holy shit the AC needs to be on COLD when it’s 110f outside. 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Apple Maps uses the same data. Mapquest has kept it the same. 000
lizarama @dalaimama.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Any soundtrack with Maria McKee, the Blasters, AND several Jim Steinman songs is always my fave. 120
