I got Wally because Waffles turned 10 in April. Waffles is my soul dog, first child, bestest friend. Wally tolerates me and likes Paul better. 😂😭 Rude

It's not A&M if you don't think this at least once a season. And some seasons, once a week.

I think I still have this game on because of how they traumatized me when I was there (2005-2009). Like yes this is trash but you stay til the end dammit. I need to just walk away. Like an hour ago.

My dog after I told him he can't be dramatic and angry about every commercial and I'm sorry he hates capitalism but it's just going to keep being capitalism that's the world we live in

I love A&M's jerseys because they're a true maroon and so much of the stuff we see posted/associated with A&M is really just a burgundy.

His bed that's normally under the coffee table is in the washer. He didn't believe me so he checked Wally's playpen. Now he's demanding answers.

Of course the first cook of the year is a long one. We're at just about 16.5 hours. Very glad I started way earlier than normal so we'll maybe be done for late lunch or dinner.

oh i absolutely have no idea. i just keep making up new ones. i know he's a manager of various things and people and that his job is Meetings and that's about it. we've been together almost 10 years at this point and i could not give you his real job title without asking him what it is first.

I started reading this thread out loud to my husband (senior lead manager something or other at a large corp) and I didn't make it to the end of this post before he was saying YUP. Why are things like this 😂

One day I'm gonna be at Costco when the butcher comes out with all new brisket and blurt out THE BRISKET FAIRY! at him without thinking. But sir, it really is magical.

And like, I've been assigned to a judge who made you approach for everything, even in docket. And one who lol just shouted at us across the room while we were at counsel table, and we shouted back. The rules are made up but the points do matter, so you just deal.

🌸 Mariel @mariel.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
On the one hand, I get it - I too have been in court when a woman wore a shift or sleeveless blouse in docket. However - if you're going to be in court every day you have to accept they are their own little kingdoms and what one allows, another might not, and that's just how it is.

Speaking of brisket, I spent a 😬 amount of dollars on a pepper grinder today. I wore mine out last year and needed something to handle the volume I use during the season. This seemed to be the consensus for max volume/control and min effort. mannkitchen.com/products/the...
