Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 7hMade Italian sausage this morning with a pound of ground pork. Tonight, cooked it up with onion, garlic, red bell pepper, celery, carrot, and kale. Poured in a jar of marinara sauce and served it over some rotini. Broke no culinary barriers whatsoever but damn that was tasty.static.klipy.comSwedish Chef Muppets Dancing & CookingAlt: Swedish Chef Muppets Dancing & Cooking 010

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Anyone born before 1989 likely only had one MMR dose as an infant; worth checking. You can get your titers checked, or just get the shot. (I started college in 1988 with only the one dose, but since the requirements changed to 2 doses in 1989, I needed the 2nd to start grad school in 1995). 2121
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 07/10/2026With Gmail you can also add a + and put additional characters. I do that sometimes with vendors / mailing lists so I can track who sells their emails. So I might do email+retailername@gmail.com and if I get email from anyone other than that retailer, I know the source. 030
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I had to do that when I moved from one city to another and needed to set up service with a utility I'd used in the old city (*cough* Xfinity) and they insisted that I needed a different email address for the new city's account even though I am the same person doing business with the same company. 110

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I have never had a reaction to any vaccine, ever. Even shingles, which everyone warned me about. I wonder if some of that is genetic because my 88 and 90 year old parents, as well as my sibling, are similarly unbothered. 010

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's gotta be connected to their definition of "real" rape (scary boogeyman who grabs you and pulls you into the bushes to rape you at gunpoint) and their fantasy of being the one who will protect us from that scary boogeyman. Everything else isn't real (the rape or the protector role). 000
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yep, though many may have gotten their second in order to start college. I started college in 88 with only one, but to start grad school in 95 I had to get my second. 110

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"Automatic meeting scheduling is so simple, let's automate that!" And they wonder why the first available time is 6 months out; because they don't know about all the back room shuffling and negotiations that the admins do to get everyone critical to the table within a reasonable time frame. 050

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The 50s, whew.

What about the poop?" and I'm back to two eggs and a multi grain English muffin again. 000

Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/202615) All in all, glad we went. I doubt I'll be one who follows the festival around, but if it's within a few hours drive again I'd probably go! 010
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/202614) Virginia Beach when it's in the 60s, damp, and very windy is very reminiscent of San Francisco summer. The number on the thermometer is deceptive: you will be cold and want all your layers and they won't be enough. 130
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/202613) Willie gets points for still doing the thing at 93 and being the heart of the event. His voice ain't what it used to be, but he's still a GOAT. 130
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/202612) Mellencamp kinda felt like he was doing a competent John Mellencamp cover act. It was ... fine, but I didn't get the sense that he was all that into being there. 100
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/202611) Neil Young literally played the strings off his guitar on Rocking in the Free World. Got the requisite crowd pleasers in Harvest Moon and After the Gold Rush, nothing bad to say about his set. I do wonder what 24 year old Neil would think about 80 year old Neil out there performing Old Man. 130
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/20269) More people should know who Margo Price is. I thought that after seeing her at The Jefferson in February and I still think that after seeing her yesterday. 10) It was weird hearing Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs do note perfect Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers songs without Petty on vocals. 120
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/20267) The logistics were on point; early on, the stage crew was consistently doing 5 minute turns between acts 8) At the risk of pissing off his fans, Dave Matthews has a kinda weird stage presence, is pretty mid and I dunno, I just can't get into the jam band vibe with anyone. 110
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/20263) New to me artists that I really loved included Ty Myers and Mon Rovia 4) Favorite sets overall might've been Lukas Nelson and Sierra Farrell 5) The lineup needs more women 6) The 25 to 45 minute set lengths meant that every set was tight, that helped keep the energy up! 110
Krisanne Combs @ennasirk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Random thoughts on my first Farm Aid concert: 1) 12 hours is a long stretch for this middle aged body, but also 2) I'm glad we got there early because we enjoyed the up and comers even more than the old farts who closed out the show. 140
