Those are really cool! No pics handy, but all of mine are basic ones from a pharmacy, in a variety of interesting/pretty colors. HOWEVER, they all have the cane tips that let them (mostly) stand on their own. (And when they do fall over, I can stand them up again with my foot - no bending.😉)

Thank you for the follow-up. I zoomed in on the picture, wondering what that was.

Aaaaaand! The tune is catchy so I’m humming along for a bit before I realize it’s that cursed song about the cheating a-holes. Ugh. 😣

That’s what I remember, too. Handy for reusing each year. 😉

:siiiigh: I loved “Hart to Hart”! Them being married and very happy together was the heart* of the show. (Teen-me definitely had a teeny-tiny** crush on Jennifer [that was ignored for another decade.😉]) * Pun intended. ** Not actually teeny-tiny.

Sibling has to surrender their dog because he keeps attacking another dog in the house because of his anxiety. The shelter they reached out to said he isn't a candidate for adoption but he is for euthanasia and I wish a very fuck you forever that Boston-area shelter. Look at this good boy.

A white dog with brown spots sits on a road with his gigantic tongue lolling out while his person holds his leash coiled around their arm at his back. There's natural grasses and a house and out in the background is Boston Harbor.

A white dog with brown spots and his gigantic tongue lolling out enjoys playing on the grass with Boston Harbor in the background.

A white dog with brown spots—with his gigantic tongue still lolling out—stands beside the bank of an inlet near Hull, Massachusetts enjoying a cooler day out.

I couldn’t figure out how pouring into the middle of that tube thing kept it hollow in the middle. And the walls were really thick. And and and…

I moved the other direction and was very confused about the lack of booze at my local Star Market. 😉

Right? As if I wouldn’t do this without human contact if it was possible … DUH. 🙄

(Haven’t seen it yet! No spoilers*, please.) I initially read that as ‘interim/temporary MVP’ and was puzzled how that would work. 🤦🏻‍♀️ * 😉

This thread has made me realize it’s been Very Many Years since I read P & P (and that I want a reread.) Just downloaded a copy from Gutenberg.org. 😉

Not even sure which shit you mean but I still agree.

If someone (yes, me) realized she didn’t get enough “Crone” stickers, is there a way to add another?

Or what if the corner of the door on the over-the-stove microwave is exactly at eye level and someone bumps into it when you’re removing food?!? (OK so no one’s bumped it YET, buuuut…)

Oh. I’d always assumed that was directed at the populace rather than Dorothy. (Probably due to that missing comma, now that I think about it…)

Something something captive audience … (Derogatory)

Ugh. Just looking at that picture gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Sure puts a different spin on “the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain” 🧐 Hope all remains good there. 🤞

Semi-related tale: On Wednesday, a colleague asked to “have a mtg tomorrow morning.“ We all agreed then got a follow-up about meeting on Friday. Confusion reigned for a bit before Friday was appointed mtg day. I’ve thought yesterday was Thursday ever since.

Thank you for spelling out the words! I had not yet convinced myself to look up “SEO”. 🕵🏻‍♀️

I am torn between “chuckle” and “Why are you mocking them?!” (Cue the airport scene: “tsk, should have left earlier...”

Congratulations!🎉 (I loved this one and am looking forward to owning a copy in its new incarnation.)

I just flashed back to the (pre-TNG) time my friend group spent an evening calculating how many civilians were killed in the entirety of the TOS run. From memory. “Wait wait. We have to estimate how many people were on each planet eaten by the planet-eater!”

I spend a chunk of every workday explaining confusing things to folks with varying technical backgrounds. I ask that question often. You’ve just unlocked a concern I didn’t know I should have. 😳
