When I moved back to WI a couple months ago, I came programmed by years of ads to try three things: Luige’s frozen pizza, Berens brandy,and Carry the G beer. I can now happily report that all are very very good! @andyhermannfl.bsky.social @aaronnagler.bsky.social @charlieberens.bsky.social

I got the cutest stitch stoppers today from @hartfordyarnworks.bsky.social !! I have taken up knitting to deal with all the horrors and so I think they are very apropos. I love them to bits. ❤️

Saw an incredibly cute handbag in a video and reverse image searched it and it is $11,000 and so sadly I will not be getting that.

Hi! Just wanted to say thank you for these excellent videos! I’ve been thinking of starting to knit for a while now but you inspired me to do it! Here’s my first little sample square.

Picked up an extra shift to cover a friend and could have done something responsible with the money but did this instead. (I know, I know, but I love this color combination so much!!!) I promise I will take it off at half if needed 😁😁😁 #GoPackGo 💛💚🧀💚💛

People will say stupid things like “there’s no such thing as a stupid question” and then they will ask a question like “Is that too much whipped cream?” And, ladies and gentlemen, in case you were curious, no, no, there is not such a thing as too much whipped cream.

Fantastic site! Thank you! Garrulous is a pretty good guess. There are some great words on the list, but this might be my favorite:

Screenshot of part of the Merriam-Webster list of words first recorded in 1611. Words shown are ropewalker, running knot, salaam, scalelike, scenography, secularize, self-opinionated, serf, series, shittah, short ribs, side-glance, silky, skewed, smacker, soapsuds, and soft-shell. The word shittah is circled in red.

Everything is awful but it was 90 this afternoon and I went for my first real swim of the year and had my first late afternoon Aperol spritz and Archie enjoyed a nice sun bath so… gotta grab the good times when they pass you by. I needed this.

I will never fly with my pet because he is too big to be allowed in the cabin and I would not dream of letting him be cargo. I am kinda jealous of people for whom it is an option, though! Pic tax of large pet who would honestly probably be less problematic than many humans, though.

Thank you to @theatlantic.com for the work that you do. You had a lot of choices to make about how to handle this situation. I think you made the right ones and I want to support that.

Finished project! I love this cheery little cardinal! The lesson I will take away from this one is that I need new glasses 🤓 I’m still ok with how it turned out even with the many imperfections. Kit from hook, line, and tinker: hooklinetinker.com/products/car... #embroidery #fiberarts

Sometimes my dog will pretend that he is the Most Starvingest Creature That Has Ever Lived and I will give him an extra quarter scoop of kibble and he will turn his snoot up against it as if it were the most foul offal and I will know that he is absolutely scamming me.
