It seems you are pretty primed for an argument and I'm in no mood for such nonsense. Go away.

I wrote a book about *how far away the moon is* and it didn't cross my mind to re-promote it until Erin posted this thread. This is why I am neither rich of successful. Nevertheless: I wrote a kids' book that folds out to 5 feet across to give you an accurate scale model of the solar system!

Usually those farmers are these programs. In this latest round, it's not those same farmers. If farming had DEI, this would be as close as it's ever been.

This has been my experience with commentators across all sports. With so many hours of improv commentating, I figure it's bound to happen. I have yet to hear the #nwsl ones good linguistically as badly as some #nfl ones. I would love for the cross-sport comparisons to cease. E.g. soccer != golf.

Mostly my friends and I don't talk about the awful news with one another because we are a break from it for one another. Sure, we could rehash another war crime another time, or we could laugh at the haircut one of the teenagers really loves without realizing it's 1994 again.

Cool stat by Opta: "Olivia Moultrie set up three chances for teammates in Portland’s win over Kansas City. Since the start of the 2024 season, Moultrie has recorded 98 chances created for teammates, 11 more than any other player in the NWSL in that time (Debinha – 87)." #BAONPDX

Death won't admit it but he too is glad the winter is finally over and is thoroughly enjoying spring in our garden! #GardeningFeed.

Figuring of Death sitting in his cloak on the top shelf of our plant hanger with a creeping plant blooming tiny purple flowers all around him, and some of the plant has grown onto him. Behind him the wooden fence and either side small terracotta pots sunken into the woodn shelf in the garden. The metal chain that keeps the hanger up is visible right behind Death and looks like a V shape coming from his back.

A phone call, in your car, across the parking lot, with both my and your windows up, should not be something I can accidentally eavesdrop on.

It is hard to acknowledge that they are opting to stay put in their thoughts versus seeing their family as real people with real feelings who might have more than a few real points. They think it's us trying to have "blue team beat red team" because they were told that was the point.

In our experiences with family right now, they aren't willing to actually discuss anything, or even listen to our concerns over what's happening. They are too primed to be offended attached victims or too conditioned that it's not polite to discuss topics other than food, sports, and weather.

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

This 3rd of my 4 individual posts along Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park on Wednesday has the reflections that I probably liked best. Cloudy & grey, pics came out almost like #ColorADay #BWFriday, which is what I'll call them, even though taken in color. #ECK #NationalParks #Montana #scape

I think your ask was reasonable. We watched 9/11 at school and a kid asked if this meant some pro sports game he wanted to see was going to be cancelled that night. The teacher sent him home.

If you're a baseball player who can catch, slide, and run, but you can't hit the ball, you can: a) Practice on your own (teammates, ball machine) b) Hire a good coach c) Switch sports Notice how there is no d) Put your jersey on a robot every time it's your turn at bat (then lie about it)

Our average last frost in those days was the first week of November? But the first hard freeze was usually mid-January. I'm now much farther north and supposedly "northern hardy" varieties of various foods are great. Which means, the plant survives, but yeah, getting the fruit to ripen 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was 15 minutes of thin story stretched into 90 minutes of Mario animation jack-off. Did my kid who wanted to see it enjoy himself? Yes. Did he think it was as good as the first one? Not at all. The cameos of the sound effects was my favorite part.

I'm not sure how much varieties change in pomegranates but when we were in 8a, the local library had fruit on theirs each year. Good luck!

Check the bottom of the leaves every day and smoosh the caterpillar eggs (and any caterpillars.) Sow some dill nearby (parasitic wasps help later in the season and adore dill.) Next time, cover them as soon as you plant them. Cabbage moths are the worst. Good luck!
