I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

Have you heard the gospel of antihistamines? Pepcid (or equivalent) 20mg twice a day really helps with lingering COVID symptoms.

They've found brain fog is related to dopamine levels. So chocolate raising your dopamine level = feeling better.

I've gotten cheaper but I'm not sure how far out of your way you'd be willing to go for it. The Amerigo on Telegraph (by 495) was $4.13 (cash) on Monday.

Maybe one of those secured cards? The kind where you put a cash deposit and can only spend up to that amount before you have to pay off the balance. There's also virtual cards that change numbers every purchase.

I'm so used to mine being long that I have trouble functioning when they are really short. I mean, I trim them, but I'm so used to using them as tools that it sucks when I break one and have to clip it short.

Amusingly, I had to sort out this exact situation at work last week. There were two people using the same word in two wildly different ways. I'm sure they would have figured it out eventually, but it was ridiculous how they were having two different conversations using the same word.

Even discounting three years for law school, that's still a pretty large, "please explain this gap in your resume," she's got there. And I say this as someone with multi-year gaps in my resume (aka working retail).

Now, I don't know much about how it at Pepperdine, but I went to a small liberal arts college and I'm pretty sure the Director of Development is full-time and needed prior experience to get the job.

I am never getting over Aziraphale in "the Bastille" awaiting a trip to the guillotine. The Bastille was destroyed at the very beginning of the Revolution! He couldn't have been imprisoned there! He should have been in the Concierge.

I saw his remarks and was immediately reminded of the GOP "death panels" rhetoric. I am curious to know his views on population growth. Does he assume one-for-one replacement of the dead children?

It's ironic I used to be afraid of breakfalls because I didn't want to fall and now I'm nervous about breakfalls because I'm falling down too hard.

First grade? That's when it became obvious my social skills weren't the greatest and that I was too smart for my own good. (I have a distinct memory of sitting alone in the school library taking a standardized test because the adults wanted to have me skip a grade)

It's the chatty notes that would make for good analysis. They are practically diary-like. Asking the audience for ideas is a sin as old as fanfic

Declare it "Italian Heritage Day" or some such bullshit. Maybe "Explorer's Day." Something that allows sensitive egos to be appeased while letting everyone else ignore Columbus in favor of better humans.

There's a sign from the 70s, I believe, that reads, "The Revolution starts in the kitchen," above an image of a sink full of dirty dishes. These guys need to understand that getting women onto their side means addressing women's issues (and washing the damn dishes).
