I'm waving at you from the 7th floor of the hospital.

Name your favorite film or TV mom. Ok, so maybe she doesn't play a mom, but she is a mom and gives off the best mom vibes.

The organ in the Fargo Theater will be ours, where it can actually be appreciated and studied.

I've never seen it, despite hearing it's good. Honestly, I don't see a lot of shows, but I do stop to scrutinize what I see in hospital rooms whenever it comes up, though. Nursing Reddit totally eats up stupid medical stuff on TV. It's pretty amusing.

Anything to do with medical equipment, monitoring, etc. The random devices used as props in ways they weren't remotely designed for is beyond dumb.

If nothing else, there was a map in the front of The Yellow Pages, too.

I had no idea Dinkydome was once a bible college. Interesting.

I miss The Stroll so much. Andy Sturdevant is great, and his columns got me out wandering around town numerous times. As soon as I saw this post, I thought about his column about the Bakers.

I was so confused about the British concept of what cookies are. Big slabs of dough in ring molds? What??? At least someone tried to make a snickerdoodle, but they so utterly failed to make anything that remotely looked like a snickerdoodle. I was crabby. Not realliy. But maybe a little.

I'll have to go back and find that. Do you know what season?

Aaron - Eat More Pie @paddle2paddle.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I think the show has been leaning on gimmick ideas a bit to much. Pared down recipes is one thing, but this whole no-recipe thing is dumb. That said, if iced gems are simply a short bread with meringue, that is something a baker should be able to figure out and do. So **shrug**

While I roll my eyes at them, I will generally comply as I figure it must be for someone with mobility issues.

Mercy... inaccurate fingers. Toad tripping is probably a different podcast all together. I'll leave, now.

It can be creepy... in case that's not your thing. But it is Spooky Season, it's a good show, and you're toad tripping.

Preparing for my cholesterol and pounds to go up. Hell yeah.

Yeah, I'd forgotten how upsetting that character was. Then, I recall getting scared by the Ernie and Bert bit when they're in an Egyptian tomb and Ernie encounters a mummy. Scared the pants off of little me.

Hey, @stpaulsaints.bsky.social, my dog Fred is going to get cold on his walks before too long. Will you please make a dog jacket for him, too?

I was so excited for that movie as a kid. Was. Not. Prepared.

Piss off, Facebook. But at the same time, I want to know what the plot of this movie would be.

Vincent Price scared the crap out of me. Around that same time, Ghostbusters came out (which I begged to see), and I was terrified of the librarian ghost.

Patient: I don't like it when nurses do X so I can't do this thing. Me: Well, we have to do X, and you can't do the thing in the hospital. P: But I like being able to do the thing. Me: I'm afraid that is not safe and is against policy. P: You don't understand. I want to do the thing. #nursing

On the other hand, iced gems are really cute. I'd make them... and eat them.

The #GBBO concept of "American cookies" is utterly baffling. I've eaten a few cookies in the past, and those dough loaves are a whole different thing.

Thanks for the thoughtful and interesting discussion, as always. I look forward to you making me mad at awful people with each episode.

Aw man, @ceaubin.com. Gaugan, too? In the 80s my mom took me to Chicago from MN for a Gaugan exhibit, and I was amazed. Loved him ever since. But now? I didn't know ANY of what I learned from you and @daisydixon.bsky.social. Gave some background to that print we had on the wall. Fuck that guy.

I swung by a couple days ago not knowing they weren't open yet. I'll have to go back, and maybe pick up some coffee while there. Happy to find a new independent shop in town.

What if you maybe have to maybe raise your arms or move in some other way? Or maybe stylish men don't need to be able to move their bodies much.

Accepting what is set in front of you is easy to do. That is a glaring omission that I totally missed.

Who could have foreseen closing one camp would lead to people moving to another? Now, according to The Villager, the city is going to close this one before the end of the year, but "the process will be different". Mercy.

One of the best unimportant parts of working on a transplant unit is that patients are not supposed to get fresh flowers. Because of that, everybody gets to enjoy the flowers at the nursing station. Burying your face in flowers and taking a deep breath always helps on a busy shift.

A bouquet of roses, carnations... and other pink, white, and yellow flowers that I can't name. A Magic 8 Ball is on a counter below the flowers. An isolation cart with two drawers slightly open in the background. Ugly tan and other tan floors are also in the background.

I'm instantly transported to the Boundary Waters when it's foggy. There's nothing like thick mist rising off the lake in the morning while you sit on a log and drink camp coffee.

This is a cropped image from a drug ad, and it makes me crabby. Not, the drug. The paddles. They're FAR too short. Guy can't even get the whole blade in the water! And you have a beautiful wood canoe, but you're using aluminum and pastic paddles? For shame. At least they're wearing bucket hats.

Image of a couple happily paddling a canoe, but the paddles are too short. Wood canoe. Blue and white cooler in the middle of the canoe. Bucket hats on the paddlers.

As exciting as Fujinokawa is, I'm struggling to really root for him. Maybe it's the proclivity to false start. Seeing Ura with double digit wins is fantastic. I'd started to wonder if we were seeing his slide towards retirement. Churanoumi looked great, too!

As exciting as Fujinokawa is, something abnout him makes it hard for me to root for him. Maybe it's his proclivity for false starts, but I don't know that that's the whole thing.
